Have you ever met anyone who hates saving their money? We haven’t, either.
It is one of the most obvious truths of the current world: We all want to eliminate unnecessary expenses and find a cheaper way around necessary expenses as much as possible. Be it an online sale, a buy-one-get-one offer, a combo offer, or a free product or service that comes with another product or service—nobody minds saving a few bucks on the go.
This innate saving instinct explains why VoIP platforms like TextNow are so popular among the young and old alike. After all, calling and texting are among the most essential parts of present-day life and, hence, make up a considerable chunk of our monthly bills. No wonder people want to save this expense by using a free texting and calling service like TextNow.
However, free things have their consequences. In the case of TextNow, free phone numbers also attract mischievous people who call, disturb, and even harass you just because they want to, and it’s free!
TextNow Number Lookup
Uncover who is behind a TextNow number by using the TextNow Number Lookup tool. Enter the number and select the ‘track’ button. You will quickly see the real identity of the person using the TextNow number, complete with details such as name, phone number, email ID, location, IP address, among others.
How Does a TextNow Number Work?
Let’s briefly understand how a TextNow number works so you get an idea of how different or similar it is from traditional calling numbers. There are two ways to start using a TextNow number.
Get a VoIP-based TextNow number.
It all starts with creating an all-new TextNow account, either by downloading the mobile app—it’s available for both iPhone and Android users—or by signing up via the website. Once you have an account on the platform, you must provide your region.
Depending on availability, the platform will provide you with a few phone numbers from that region or the nearest available region. You can choose one of these numbers, and that’s it. You can then start using the app for making calls and exchanging texts over the internet with anyone in the US and Canada.
Buy a physical TextNow SIM Card
Besides the VoIP service, TextNow also offers separate wireless calling and texting coverage across much of North America, even without an internet connection. Users can use this service by ordering a TextNow SIM card and activating it on their Android or iOS devices. After activation, the SIM card gives the same coverage as the VoIP plan for calling and texting.
Additionally, having a SIM card gives users access to unlimited data plans called passes. TextNow currently offers two passes: a Daily Pass and a Monthly Pass. You can buy one as and when required.
Benefits of Using a TextNow Number:
Free Calling & Texting:
Free calling and texting are the flagship features of using TextNow and the biggest reason someone uses a VoIP service over a traditional one. A TextNow number lets you make and receive calls and exchange text messages throughout the US and Canada with no charges. All you need is a working and reliable Wi-Fi connection, and you can communicate with your friends and family members whenever and as long as you wish!
Moreover, even an internet connection is not required if you have a physical TextNow SIM card on your phone. Plans start at $0/month (literally), allowing users to call and text over the platform’s extensive nationwide Wireless Network.
Affordable International Calling:
Besides letting users call and text people across the US and Canada for free, TextNow offers affordable international calling services, too! Whether you have a physical TextNow SIM card or just a virtual TextNow number, you can purchase International Calling Credits by adding money or earn those credits by watching ads.
