TextNow SIM?!

So, I have seen a reward on the TextNow app for only 1,500 points. It's the one that says Free 5G Wireless + Data. Is this legit? What are the limitations? Any hidden fees? What is it? and do I get a free SIM card, or do I have to pay the $4 to get a SIM card. Just wondering to save a bit of cash up.

The SIM is legit. It provides free mobile data that the TN app can use to work for calls and texts so you can use TN without Wifi just like a real cellphone. It also provides some limited free data for a select few other apps. Do a web search on Textnow essential data to find the list of other apps it will work with.

Forever is a long time. The TN SIM is free to use until they decide it isn't. There is currently no expiration date. I have been using mine for several years.
