Ratings and reviews

Very disappointed with their greed. I originally found this app because I was going through a tough time, and found this to be a great option. It was fantastic! Sure there were some ads you had to watch but no big deal. My favorite part was even though I had free text and call I could buy unlimited data for a day for $2.99. Well all the good perks are now gone and it's $40 a month minimum for any kind of data now. This was a perfect option for me, but now I will return to mint mobile.

Unreliable service annoying ads call drops every time doesn't matter signal strength awful text messaging format can't navigate needs urgent makeover. There are many other options for wifi calling. The only reason why I gave it two stars is because it was really fast in creating an account, and you get to talk and text right away.

I've had a TextNow account for a long time & it's never failed me. A few times I didn't have phone service and I was able to rely on this app to make and receive calls & texts as long as I was connected to Wifi. Other apps do the same thing but I always end up deleting them and sticking with this one. I get a number to use, I don't miss calls/texts, customizable features, it's simple and easy to use.
