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!
The calls were clear the only problem that I probably had were trying to use the keypad when dialing certain numbers because it wouldn't stay still or the connection would break depending on where I was at.
What can I say... It's free phone service so of course there's bugs, glitchy service and dropped calls... But Its free so i can't complain... You get what you pay for! Thank you text now!
Alright, You Guys Literally $#*!ing SUCK For This! Ever Since Late July, You Guys Did Nothing To Fix The Problems! I STILL Can't Text People, I Can No Longer Login, EVERYTHING Is Just Ruined! This has got to be THE WORST SERVICE I've Seen in probably months or years! Bottom Line, BE A BETTER $#*!ING TEXTING SERVICE! 1 Star! End Of Discussion!

When you are paying those high phone bills and got to worry I am using my text now and don't have a care in the whole told about coming up with all that money to pay the bill it's free
I can't stand the ads all the time, but aside from that it's fine I guess
It works great don't know what I would do without it easy number to remember glad it's available free free free.
I find the TextNow very easy to use, and that's a great advantage for someone who is not tech literate. After a reluctant start, I use it quite extensively now. It's the perfect way to keep communication quick and open., and is also time-saving.

I've been using TextNow for years and I couldn't be happier with the service.
Just purchased the $5 SIM card for my child to have unlimited calls/texts everywhere and it worked immediately. No other app can do this as well as TextNow does it.
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!😳
I've had the same number for 4 years it's great for wifi calling and I never have to pay a bill
When I first tried text now, I was kind of Skeptical as to how it would work. Some of the times my calls dropped during family prayer time or they couldn't hear me. I reported the issue and they fixed it.
Thank you.
I have been using the TextNow app since it was first available for download, and in all honesty, nothing else comes close.
Ive tired many other apps that have similar features and functionality but they all fall short on call quality, connectivity, and consistency.
TextNow always provides me with a stable connection that I can rely on. They also understand that people like to keep their phone numbers and I've had the same TextNow number for 10 years. That's tough to beat.
Huge thumbs up for this app. TextNow #1
My only wish is that I could receive codes. Otherwise it's good, am happy and it's free!
I had Boost mobile. I couldn't make a phone call without it dropping and or cutting out. I downloaded text now and used on my wifi service. And it's free! I never have a dropped call and It never cuts out. Awesome
Thank God I was fortunate to learn about this App. My other phone froze up. I had no means of communication. Once I downloaded this on my saved phone, I have used it everyday. It is a remarkable App.
