![]() ![]() There are ads in the App, but they do not bother me or my neighbor. Texting and Calling is through the TextNow App, NOT the default phone text of calling apps. Maybe go with Tello as a cheap paid service, or google voice is you have a phone number you can text from and link. ![]() (you can even log into the app on your personal or primary phone, and text from there to keep it active.) For these reasons, TextNow is probably not a great business phone solution. They say that you have to call or text once a day to keep from losing your numbers, but in practice, it is more like one every 3-4 weeks, and they send you a reminder text that you need to use your account. While you can pick your phone number (from a group of available numbers) your phone number is NOT LOCKED in unless you pay for an upgrade. I have activated 2 phones on this service, and I would say it took me about 30 mins each time to do so. (I later noticed on my iPhone that it costs about 5$ a WEEK to have that service, so probably not worth it) For a basically free service, I really don't think it is a bad deal, but there are some things to note: -Set up isn't difficult, but does take some time. I purchased the year-long phone number lock for $5 a year. I also activated one of my old iphones, just to have a backup phone in my workbag. We had a 5-ish-year-old Android phone that was just a paperweight in our house, and we activated it with the $1 sim from the text now. We use the free service for our elderly neighbor who did not have a cell.
