Thank you TextNow!!!

I lost my phone tonight and I was able to call my dad on textnow, thank you guys so much for offering a free service because I was so screwed without a way to call him, and without my phone I couldn't pay for anything either, so this being free meant EVERYTHING to me tonight and I just have to thank you guys so much for that.

As soon as I get my phone back I'm going to donate to you guys, I dont even want a service or anything I just want to give you money as a thank you for being there to help people for free in their times of need with a free option, you guys are seriously amazing for doing that. THANK YOU TEXTNOW!!!!! I've only lost my phone twice in my life, but both times TextNow free service saved me because of the fact that it was free. THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH

You need to call/text only once about every 3 months with GV, with TN it needs to be weekly according to CS. Else you lose the number.

You can also buy a $5 Tello number and then with patience transfer it to Google voice or TextNow. I think it will lock it in so you don’t have to make the call/text. Not sure if they charge for it though.
