Good job I like the service very much thank you guys for the great work
I live in an area of Upstate NY that has absolutely no service and so to text friends and family from home, I utilized this app. For a while it was fine, I didn't have any complications. Last week, I tried to open the app chich would normally auto login and take me to my text messages. This time it asked me to login, and when I tried, I received a message telling me that I had been banned for terms of use and to read the terms, which told me nothing. Both myself and my husband read the terms several times. So I did what any other consumer does, I searched for a customer service number or email. Could not find one that didn't take me to an utterly useless page that very much wanted to make me feel like an idiot "try to delete and reinstall the app or update it" Give me a break.
I was able to find a live chat where I talked with a rep names Jason, that told me that I could not gain access to my account any longer because I had violated the terms of use. My account had been permanently disabled and would not be reinstated for any reason. When I asked what I had violated in the terms of use, he said "We don't have access to that information, we can only see that you've been banned"... Sketchy as $#*!! Just sayin!
On a side note here, I used this app to communicate with elderly family and I am now completely unable to get those phone numbers because I've been banned. I only ever saved those numbers to the app because I could not contact them otherwise. My family members have no one else but me and have several medical issues that frequently cause them to come in and out of the hospital. TextNow has been advised that there will be legal pursuit if harm comes to my family and I'm unable to assist them because I have no way to contact them now. Banned with absolutely no warning and no reason as to why. Bull$#*!. They've also been reported to the BBB in both Canada and the U.S. Find literally any other app!
It $#*!ing suck s it doen't let me in horrible rateing just sucks it just sucks better update screw this app

Answer: No limits I have used this app dozens of times a day and for several hours on some days
Answer: Well well well, u pushed the right button. I don't trust them at all. They tried hardly to get a photo of any of my government IDs, together with a photo of my credit card pretending to verify my identity and they rejected all other means for verification including calling my bank.
