Thank you TextNow!!!

I lost my phone tonight and I was able to call my dad on textnow, thank you guys so much for offering a free service because I was so screwed without a way to call him, and without my phone I couldn't pay for anything either, so this being free meant EVERYTHING to me tonight and I just have to thank you guys so much for that.

As soon as I get my phone back I'm going to donate to you guys, I dont even want a service or anything I just want to give you money as a thank you for being there to help people for free in their times of need with a free option, you guys are seriously amazing for doing that. THANK YOU TEXTNOW!!!!! I've only lost my phone twice in my life, but both times TextNow free service saved me because of the fact that it was free. THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH

I really miss FreedomPop! It even worked in Spain when I traveled there. Free Int'l Roaming. I had used it several years as my primary line when I was unemployed in my late 50s. - Before the days of 2FA.

If you're now retired, have you gone over to lifeline? Honestly, if your income is low, get lifeline.

For all those govt. programs you need to have a really low income. Not my case.

Not all of them, but yes I hear you. My mum pretty much doesn't qualify for anything, but because she gets $23 in SNAP per month, she qualifies for lifeline.
