I was phoneless and the only way I was connecting with family and friends was in person and verbally. But now that I'm able to use TextNow, I'm able to keep in touch with love ones better. Also, others 🙂

Service goes in and out and makes noises and hang up calls .
It's a good idea to be able to get an extra phone line when your phone is hacked and people are invading your privacy as my is experiencing.

This app has been my secondary and now primary but at any time it could be secondary number. I've used it for a couple years and it's one of the most trusted apps that I continue asleep download. Sometimes I get missed calls because of bugs I'm not updating my call inability and my texts and ability I'll probably write that out of 20% of the time. But overall it's awesome!
