This app has been great need less day. When I need to use Text No, it opens right up for me. No problem. Reception could be hella better for voice calls... Other than that Text Now does the job and gets it done.
I paid for the card, it doesn't work, there is no free calling, and there is no available customer service for assistance. That's about it... Save for the fact that health insurance spammers can get through with perfect signal strength time after time even leaving default four-second vms. I'm not upset or anything, I didn't have high hopes about this from jump street, just saying.

There needs to be a better way to stop calls from spammers. I keep getting phone calls from someone who used to own this number and I block all the numbers but they use other ways to keep calling. It's annoying! Other than that this service is great!
Hey Monica! Thanks for your review and sorry that you're receiving these unwanted calls. I've sent a PM to assist further!
There is a delay between 2 parties within the conversation at times and reception is not always clear. Overall for a free service I am satisfied as this is not my only phone service this is used as a secondary line for Job search and long distance use.
Hey Cici, thanks for your review and for taking the time to let us know about your calling concerns. I've sent you a PM to assist further!
App is easily my first choice over alternatives, but it generally sucks, the density of ads and the glitches are annoying and calls often dont go through
It also split one person - messaging me from one number - into 4 conversations, at random
Idk why
Hey Emma, thanks for your review! We're sorry to hear that you're having issues using your TextNow app. I've sent a PM to assist further!
I get dropped calls and when someone calls out of the blue on my Samsung Tab A, it won't let me answer even though I keep trying to answer. Sometimes it will let me answer if I've had the app open recently in use but when it's been sitting for awhile Sometimes I can answer but most of the time not. I have it installed on my Note 20 ultra also so that I can check my texts when away from the tablet. Also I have problems writing texts Sometimes in that while I'm texting it just stops on its own and half the time I don't notice till a sentence or two later while I'm text away and hearing the clicking report nothing is being texted! Very frustrating, but for free for a tablet without phone ability it's great!
I am satisfied with textnow and appreciate having it. Overall textNow works well for calls and texts. It's quite reliable and works on pretty much any device.
I would give 5 if I could have the option to record incoming and outgoing phone calls. Plus often calls don't show up till it shows up as a missed call and notifications don't always show until text now is opened.
When I was texting with friends, I was completely restricted from replying to messages for no reason, and I received a text message saying "I violated the rules."

I have been using it for some years now and I would give it a four star out of five. It need some work since it is still dropping calls here and there but overall its now a bad app for the price
This texting service has been nothing but reliable the connection is pretty good and the rates are very very low I definitely would recommend this to other people
Quick with descriptions and looking good with understanding and focus. Please understand I think this is something I want more like with focus and purpose

Very good experience. Only drawback is the changing number. I beseech that the number is fixed permanently. This will allow my call recipients to save the number and return calls on the fixed number. Thank you.
As long as you need a Quality free phone service you cannot beat this app. Hands down best, most reliable service inhave used. I've used TextNow for at least 3 years off and on as my budget and life demanded and now I use it because of its proven track record of great service and it's STILL FREE!
Everything goes well while I noticed that recently after each phone calls, a third party quickly pops up my screen, that has made everyone worried about our private phone calls recorded!😳
The quality of calls. I. get when,my family and friends try to reach me. The communication I get when I call someone is very clear. No drop calls.Is very important. So thank you TextNow.
Canadian cell phone bills are an outrage. Did you know in Africa people pay almost nothing to use a cell?
Not here!
Good experience no complaints very dependable when I run out of regular minutes and I use it for a backup phone
Good quality on calls text goes out comes in just fine...thanks for little app n service it does for the u.s.
I have been very pleased with Text Now. The service, the options and also being free helps these days!
The subscription is perfect. I've been with this company for a long time, and it's great to have a phone number at an affordable price.
The "automated system " turned off my ability to send amd receive text messages ON AN APP CALLED TEXTNOW! AND it took 2 days for a customer service agent to be able to tell me that! And then they "couldn't " change it back. They cant change what the system does when they literally control the system. So it was a $#*!ing hassle and im not using text now as my main line anymore
