I needed a phone number I could use for personal use to keep my business line separate. Can't tell on quality of sound vs. my personal business line amazing!
It is good but banks don't accept the number as they say it is NOT a cell phone number. Please prrsuade banks to start accepting it otherwise its utility is greatly diminished.
I use Text Now for daily Calls and Texts. I also use Text Now for an extra phone line. I've Always a Very Satisfied Result With This App. I would most definitely recommend for anyone and everyone!
A reliable second number for me...Thank you and hope everyone continues to use your service.
Always convenient and accurate and calls and texts are received in a timely fashion.
I would like to thank TextNow for there great service and most of all it's free, also you have extra plans to purchase if needed. I hope to continue to receive your service in the future and I refer plenty of friends and family to TextNow.
I recieve all around great service.Only trouble is picking up my voice mails or lack there of voice I never hear anything.Adding and removing contacts is a little bit of a chore..
Sometimes I get calls but not often. Unable to use it when I go to town
Clear calls, no static or dropped calls. Texts are sent and received instantaneous. Sending and receiving photos/images has been great! No problem with uploading or downloading these photos/images. Clear communication, no lagging, no delays, and clear photos and messages. By far a GREAT PHONE service! I even opted in to keep my number & service with TextNow as a alternate for my business emergency on call after hour needs. Overall I think it's fair to say I'm very pleased with TextNow!
It's great, the ads aren't too bad. It's just choppy at times and can't get verification codes. I would love to do surveys or watch more ads to fix the issues I mentioned
Used for a long while then, everything gone, conversations, #, history. With no way to get back. Go on a vacation and forget it for a week or two and you lose it completely.
I am pleasantly surprised with Text Now nothing but good things to say.
Overall very positive and a great help during this interlude.
This is a great substitute while in hospital and my cell signal was intermittent. Wifi in the hospital was good so TextNow was great.
You can do the free ads on Google.but word of mouth from some one else got me to order my number
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.
