Comments on TextNow: Call + Text Unlimited for Android

★★★★★ Emilia and Isabelle Wenger · May 13, 2026

This is probably the best free texting app out there. I've had it for about a year now, as a main number. I purchased a $5 SIM card and with the free flex plan, I can use Text Now mobile data to text people when I'm out of the home. There are ads, but they are 97% just flags. I think 3 times in the whole time I've been using it, I've had a pop-up 5-second ad 😂❤️ With the Free Flex plan you can also use maps, you can look up things (no websites though) and email. Definitely recommend this app.

★★★★★ Anonymously Anonymous · May 28, 2026

Love the app. I have had 1 issue, having to pay to get certain verification codes, which I don't do. I've had to waste time contacting the businesses this has happened with, but I save $60 not having a regular phone service. I'm always by Wi-Fi, and the $4 Sim card gives me phone service when on the road. I actually love having the app after I got used to it. Thanks text now!!!

★☆☆☆☆ Noah Love · May 24, 2026

I don't mind the app I can call and text but what I hate is that it deletes all the gifs videos, Im a kid I don't have money to pay for half the things you can use contact for but I don't have my phone turned on, so I can't use contact so when I use text now I want to remember the things I send, I bet even if I do pay for all the little stupid things those gifs, pictures and videos aren't coming back are they? I waited all my time making memories and I can't even remember,173 gifs pictures vids gone fbs

Text now tried stealing from me. I never agreed to any subscription, yet they tried charging me weekly to reserve my number. Scumbag company. Reporting for fraud.
