    • Lil

      Hey, I had that problem too. My solution was to go into Settings in the app and just change my password and it worked! :)

  • concerned

    someone is using this to harass and threaten my 13yr old son pretending to be someone they are not. there is now way to find out who is actually find out the sender. this should be illegal!!!

  • Fawltybean

    What are “Ad supported” calls? You keep mentioning about free calls, but they are not really free. One has to jump hoops to get free calls with TextNow.

    • Niqueenoelle

      I can’t even talk to my boyfriend over the phone. It’s redicilous

    • http://www.facebook.com/gjrevans Gordon Evans

      Calls from other TextNow users are free and incoming calls are free. If you would like to place a call you can enter the number you would like to call, hit call, watch a short ad and instantly be connected.

    This app just keeps getting better and better!! i love it :) But on the app sometimes it just closes out whle im typing a text! if you could fix this that would be great! thx

  • Lil

    I love this app! It’s easy to use and works well with my voice operating system. My suggestions would be to let us be able to store/add contacts to our accounts through the online site. Also, I think it’d be easier if the online site operated similiar to the app, especially when it comes to deleting texts. Thanks for all your hard work!

    Seriously, if you can’t remember your old password, and it is required for a new password how can you possibly change it.

    • admin

  • Puppylover

    Me and my boyfriend both use Textnow to text each other. We have noticed that Textnow randomly calls. This happens at least twice a day to us. Can you try to fix that?
    Oh and we should be able to change our username, sometimes we make spelling mistakes and can’t change it.

  • Msns

    Is there incoming calls???

  • Prettycarmel

    Sometimes it says I have a new text messsage .. But wont let me read it until 2hours later >.< it would also be awesome if this app worked w.o Internet connection .

  • Cheyeneingram

    this app is so cool but i wish you can text and call people without enternet

  • Reflektivetape

    This app is terrible. It shuts down a lot when I’m typing a text. Also, I have never ever had a full conversation over 5 minutes without the app shutting down and disconnecting my call. Seriously, no more than 5 minutes. Great concept, but needs a large amount of attention before this app will be any good.

  • rys

    I like this app, but I can’t recover my password. it says my email adress is not correct. i have the number for my account, but i still can’t figure out my password. please help?

    I had an issue today and wondered if anyone has had it happen. I texted a picture of my daughter to my husband who is currently deployed and instead of recieving the picture of my daughter, he got a pixture of some guy posing in the mirror. So it looked as though I must have accidentally sent it to him when I have really no idea where it came from! All I can think of it that my message and another user’s got crossed somehow and my husband recieved their pic while the person they sent to, got the one I had sent. Any thoughts?

  • Sarahcontois

    Can’t even download it on my tablet !
