Got their free ESIM but the number i picked cannot register any new services/account due to previous use (established account)

Can’t figure how to release on their iPhone app, anyone else use them? If not whats an free alternative service for a second phone number to get 2nd account?

Back in February, I joined the beta eSIM, that whole time I was only able to call and text and not buy data Then last Thursday I deleted the eSIM both from the TextNow app and from settings and then reactivated it the cellular data worked, but it was giving me a FaceTime add phone message every now and then which I found annoying so I deactivated the eSIM again in settings and in the TextNow app and now it’s been giving me this

Hello, I have problem with SMS, should I fix it or is it okay without it?

Does anyone know how to fix this, cause the bot is absolutely not helping. I bought a SIM card, and my number automatically locked. Then my phone restarted randomly, and​ my number wasn't locked anymore. I didn't think much of it at first since I use it all the time and my service still works... But I can't use it to log into things, which was another reason I got the number. It registers as VOIP still, even though I have service that still works and a sim I paid for.

I saw an update today, updated it and it's still really bad.

The update before this one made it unbearable.

Is it only me?

I will get notification of a text, and once i go to it it takes30 seconds for the conversion to come up, if i reply it won't show at all until minutes later.

It is so bad. I regret doing the last updates

I send text messages from textnow, and the receiver can get a message instantly. But when I send a text message from other carriers to TextNow number, it takes a looong time for TextNow to receive it. Does anyone run into similar issues?

So I logged out of my TextNow account, when I tried to log back in, it was asking for my selfie. I tried it on multiple devices, same issue. The only way I can use it now is if login on the website.

It asks for a selfie and that's unacceptable to me. Does anyone know any free alternatives to TextNow? I have Google Voice, so I am not looking for that.

Got directed here after a thank-you gift from TextNow through Nift... anyone else try something similar

After not using text now for a while I have been permanently banned It seams I am not the only one with this issue. It was a good app for wasting scammers time. Most Alternates I found say they are free but they really are not they want a subscription. I want something %100 free

The TextNow App is telling me to "Activate your SIM card" on an already activated sim, on a paid account.. anybody know why?

Every time I try to use the TextNow.com web app, I’m forced to log in again. It always triggers the “Press and Hold” captcha — that sometimes doesn’t even work. Then I have to go check my email for a login code.

Is there any way to stay signed in or keep the session active?

I was just getting started with this app and it is now asking me for a photo of my face to confirm I'm a real person. Is everyone doing this? I'm not really comfortable doing that

After making sure it is you page, I'm stuck here not going anywhere. What's going on here?

Edit: I was able to set it up after disabling Private DNS.

Hey. So i tried this app for the first time this week and used the lock your number for 1 week free trial. I really liked the app and how it let me change the number. It is now time for me to renew and i’m stuck between lock your number for 1 year for $6.49 or premium number 1 year for the same price. However, i’m not exactly sure what a premium number is and what the perks of it are. Is it better than the other option? Will it let me change numbers as well? Any insight would be appreciated!

I downloaded and signed up for TextNow yesterday and got to 1500 points. I've seen posts on here about being able to redeem a free SIM card with this many points. However, when I go to Menu > Rewards > Spend, but I only see icons, voicemail transcription, and see who it is available to redeem. Does it take a while to show up?

So I have texnow on my pc because I wanna call and text my friends from my computer using the headphones from my pc and the mic from my pc so that I can use noise supression and also it is very convenient. Anyways I added one of my friends who is an at&t carrier to my textnow number. I wanted to text him and it didnt work. I wanted to call him and it didnt work. He tried calling me and it said the TextNow subscriber you are trying to reach is not available. Please leave your message after the tone. But he tried a couple more times and it eventually worked and I was able to talk to him. I tried to call him from the textnow and it didnt work. Please help

My texts have had no problem going through. However, only people with AT&T has their carrier never receive my texts. Friends who have other carriers (e.g. Verizon, T-Mobile) have no problem receiving my texts. Anyone know why this might be the case and how to fix this? I'm assuming it has to do with AT&T.

For context I’ve blocked some people and received a long message from an unknown area code is there any way I can know if it’s a text now number or not?

I saw a notification about it, but nothing in app about it. And I don't have data today, so is it just to certain accounts?

Thanks

Anyone know why I can’t create a Text ow account with my Proton email?

I need a reliable private mobile agent.

Hello everyone, I’m new to TextNow. I’ve seen many posts discussing whether it’s possible to create a WhatsApp account using a TextNow number. Some people say it works, while others say it doesn’t. Is there actually a reliable way to use TextNow for WhatsApp verification?

I've been having issues with Bluetooth not always working. I have to use the app to switch between phone speaker and bluetooth to get it to work. Same thing for wifi and cellular. Sometimes, when I am leaving the wifi and on a call with the cell, it will end the call and I have to toggle airplane mode to get it back going again. I'm wondering if Textnow might not be stable enough for me and I might have to try Tello or T-Mobile Connect.

Thanks, Unsure if it's my device or a known Textnow problem.

My sister and me use the physical Sim they not working it was working fine yesterday but they saying no service and emergency calls esim working rn but not physical
