TextNow Wireless Reviews See All TextNow Wireless News

Bought 3 phones 1 for me 2 for family members. Typically i only use data when on a private network and from that point the calling and data work fine. I signed us all for basic service and phone calls and texting away from private network are decent about 80% on 4g. When my pack is used for the month and on their network calls become more unreliable about 60% ;good and texts can be delayed for hours or until o get back to a private network. If you have to get the call or text done instantly without delays don't buy this service. If it dosnt matter then it is fine. My biggest gripe is the annoying message that comes up wanting you to upgrade. When your plan is gone that message pops up every couple minutes. Called them on that a month ago and yet they still choose to annoy me rather than get rid of the annoyance and hope they can keep me as a paying customer for a very low quality service. If they vdont change that when i replace my phones again it will be with another company.

Things you're review missed: 1) You must text every 2 days or you can lose your phone number. Forgot? Sucks to be you 2) Customer support is non-exisitent. The FAQ's are generic, support pages are for a small subset of problems, and try and contact someone 3) The phone comes with no documentation on how to setup, how to use. See above about no help Based on reviews, we made the mistake of buying a phone (at least we were only out $20) and plan from Textnow. No one can text to the phone (brilliant, right? A company called Textnow and you can't text to it), and the phone can't make calls (error: Sorry, we only support calls to North America. We are in N. America, we were calling N. America). You get what you pay for. In the case of Textnow, you get less, far less. Avoid this company.
