TextNow is a cloud-based calling and messaging app that lets you make local calls and texts for free. What’s more? You get your own phone number that you can share with friends and family, if they ever need to call you. The call service is completely free if you are dialing to the US or Canada; however, for international calls, you can buy monthly plans that are way affordable than any other phone carrier.
Some people just can’t believe that they can call or text anyone for free. They always doubt it, especially when some apps offer this service. But TextNow is pretty straightforward about it. There are absolutely no hidden charges of any sort. All you have to do it download the app and start calling or texting. But the question is, how does TextNow earn its money? With ads of course! There are ads that you will have to see every now and then while using the ap, but they can be disabled by paying a small amount.
The list of TextNow features is long and they are as equally good as many other phone carriers. Sometimes even better! Some features include: you can choose your own number, you get caller ID, you get your own signature that goes under every text, and access to Google Smart Lock so that you don’t have to remember your password. You also have audio and video messaging, quick replies, customizable backgrounds, personalized ringtones, and much more. You can send texts from your computer too by going to textnow.com and logging in. Everything synchronizes on the site pretty quickly.
Some TextNow users complained about a few problems using the app on certain versions of Android, but not anymore, as the latest updates addressed all these issues. The recent improvements fixed all the bugs that the users Android KitKat and Android Oreo faced.
If you have a stable Wi-Fi connection, TextNow can be a much better alternative to the conventional phone service.
