Nothing to add to this it's work good for me and I love using it
Every morning when a business person gets up typically speaking they'll have a cup of coffee they'll come through their email and then they'll go through their voicemail and just doing that costs about $50 every single month but with a program like this it's completely free I give them the extra $40 a month whenever I can for unlimited internet they give you essential internet for free every single month fantastic company fantastic service!
Had a little trouble at first, getting used to changing screens between dialing screen ànd hang up screen but overall pleased we with the service
This is just my assumption, but I wouldn't be surprised if a majority of this apps regular users are people that cannot afford to have a regular cell phone plan.
Me being one of those people, I feel like this app doesn't work as well when you are on a regular Wi-Fi. I also feel like if the Wi-Fi that you are using is unfamiliar to your device, it works even less efficiently. For example, someone will have to call me two or three times before it rings on my end even connects for the caller.
Another issue to hat ife experienced frequently would have to be not receiving media messages, either not at all, or hours &&hours late. Other than those few little problems, I really appreciate this app and how much you can customize it as well. My favorite feature would have to be how you can use a photo as the background on your keyboard
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
Perfect calls.good texting.great with wifi.connections
I love that if anything you can download this app and use at home when you run out of service "for whatever reason." I like how I have a backup plan.
Phone number is great for me when I need service I get home and then use the number for all my needs
Very good coverage within the United States. The "pay as you go" option for data is very cost effective.
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.
Have yet to receive sim card very displeased been two weeks since purchased missing calls from time to time
Needed to get ahold of a job I had been prepped for and was able to get ahold of the boss when my phone was stolen, I just logged in on my computer and had access to my contacts and don't have to worry as much about having no way to communicate or network or just keeping in touch with family/friends.
Works good with the right WiFi connection.calls where clear
Great service to chose from wish the pictures were more clearly but other than that good excellent service!
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!
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 think the layout of the app is most important and easily understandable for people with older and/or slower cell phones. Although the option to reply from the notification panel has a complication almost every time it's used, the app is convenient and I highly recommend it.
Hey Mark, thanks for your review! I've sent you a PM to see if there's anything we can do to provide you with an even better experience!
