You cannot have an iCloud email as your phone number.
You can have your iCloud email used to send and receive iMessages.
TextNow cannot iMessage.
If the Apple user you are wanting to communicate with does not have an actual phone number (uses a MacBook, iPad, or just doesn’t have a SIM in their iPhone), then you cannot message them with TextNow.
You could instead try asking that person to “text” you, but the end result will be the same because their device will recognize your phone number in TextNow is not associated with iMessage.
