It has been great. I have recommended to many friends. I will use textnow for a long time.
My only experience would be you have to have good wifi in order for your service to go well and I do believe your location in the area of North Carolina determines how well you recieve text messages and missed calls with this service.
Great app for texting and call to Friends and family. I can call and text to America and Canada for free.
Call sound is clear. I shared this app with all my Friends. They love it
Doesn't allow vpn use, Connections are decent but dropped calls do occur.
Great phone service and text great experience easy on the go ser
As long as I can afford wifi it will always be there for us and I love that.
My # secured for a small annual and I can make and receive calls. Good deal.
Text Now has always been a great choice for me, they have always given top quality, I appreciate the efforts of providing good, fast, economical communications service.
Textnow did not provide me the service I needed. I paid for data and the data never worked even though I live in a metropolitan area

Stupid app. You can't log back in using the same details and then they block your account access.
Hey there, thanks for your review and so sorry! Regrettably we do not offer our service in Pakistan, and only in North America. Sorry that we’re not yet able to provide international availability!
Very efficient, easy to use. I like the ease of use and being able to call or text is an added bonus.
Comes in handy as my travel companion or travel body Provides solutions to all North Americans abroad
I was with TextNow for a decade (including years as a paying customer) and recommended them to everyone for years. One day, a few months back, my service was disconnected and the message I got was outright hostile. It actually accused me of fraud! Fraud? WTF? I clicked on the link that says that they would review this but never got a response. Any company who goes off making unsubstantiated (fraudulent?) accusations is as shady as they come. Bottom of the barrel. Avoid these people and their service.

Using textnow years. Getting better better I can feel. I'm very happy with you. Thanks to the technicians.
It's a no brainer! I don't even need WiFi…. Ive had Textnow for some time now and have never had any issues whatsoever. Moreover, I even get 2 stage authentication texts…. Umm WOW!
Has flaws. This is perfect enough for me though. Gets the job done.

Hey H. B., thanks for your review and so sorry! We don't support them as they allow users to mask locations and also interfere with how our service works. We can only recommend using a clean connection with our service. I have sent a PM to assist further!
