Make calls and texts using a virtual number.

TextNow offers an alternative mode of communication with its virtual telephone services. After creating an account, users can select a virtual number from TextNow’s extensive catalog. When you’ve chosen your desired number, claim it and begin making texts and calls. The real clincher is that these services are entirely free. While users are initially allotted a certain amount of minutes, more can be acquired by watching ads or installing sponsored applications. While users can send an unlimited amount of texts and pictures, it's important to note that communication doesn’t extend beyond America. In other words, overseas calls and texts are prohibited. Even still, TextNow offers a convenient and safe way to communicate via a virtual number.
