Text and call your friends and family with ease

Great pricing structure
Unique features
Smooth performance
Excessive prompt
Slow credits

"Sometimes You Just Need To Text Now"

THE VERDICT

Do you need a hassle-free way to text now? Well then you might just need TextNow! Send an unlimited number of messages for absolutely free. Competitive pricing plans and a number of features, including voice calling, make this one compelling offering.

THE PROS

Competitors beware, the pricing structure is hard to beat. Being able to call and text from other devices is a very unique feature. You can also earn credits to go towards your calling by purchasing packs or completing sponsored offers. App performance is smooth and load up times were quick. The text now action widget is handy.

THE CONS

The voice quality wasn't as sharp as it could have been. The renew prompt is a bit excessive. There may be a problem with credits not appearing as quickly as they should.
