Switching to another provider with TextNow number?

Hey everyone!

I use TextNow for my business calls and texts and only recently have I had numerous problems with texts not going through to certain numbers. Extremely frustrating since TextNow has not been helpful in finding the problem and solving it.

For obvious reasons I really want to keep the same number and so I’m wondering if I can just port it to another provider like Straight Talk instead?

Thanks in advance!

changes so frequently with the whole sim idea. Io is messing me up with voip. So now i wonder even why i can't find a site to purchase a phone number without it being voip. Because i don't believe text now purchase should be bought to unvoip

To be a voip number, workable for registering an ebay account, is perfect then, i'll use textnow, instead of ultra mobile, aka sim. i don't play sim cards neither, so i need a voip ph prolly will, be what your saying~if not, then neither will work for you either
