So who is TextNow for? Anybody that wants to stick it to the carriers by sending texts via data and not SMS. Just delete the whole thing to have that “I-sent-this-from-a-phone-and-not-some-machine” vibe. You’ll want to go into the settings to remove the signature that the app automatically inputs after your messages.

From there you can access your contacts within the app and text away. After that you can blast your new number to all your social networks to get people up to speed on your new digits. After that you select an area code and TextNow will give you your own unique number. It works on the web or a variety of mobile apps.Īfter you download the app you can sign in with either Facebook or by creating an account the old fashioned way – email. You get your own unique number that you can do the receiving for both calls and texts. With TextNow you can send and receive unlimited text messages within the USA and Canada, free of charge.
