Get free talk & text with TextNow!

Ditch the phone bill and get unlimited talk and text through TextNow! This FREE app gives you access to unlimited calling, texting, and access to data for essential apps like maps, email, Uber, & Lyft! Plus, you can keep your existing number or start a new one!

Getting started is super easy; just download the free app and select a phone number to get access to free Wi-Fi calling and texting.

You can also purchase a SIM card (for $3.99) to port your existing phone number, access the TextNow 5G network, and use essential apps for free, with no paid data plan required. Or, if you want access to more data and apps, you can purchase an inexpensive plan with daily, weekly, or monthly data options.

Check out all of the TextNow phone & data options:

What’s the catch?

TextNow uses in-app ads to keep the service free, which you’ll see as you use the app, or pay $6.99/week to remove them. You’ll need to buy daily/weekly/monthly data passes to access more than just finance, email, maps, and rideshare apps.

To get access to verification codes to your phone number (like signing up/into other services with 2-factor authentication) and ensure your number remains active, you’ll need to lock-in your number for $1.99/month.

You’ll also need to have an unlocked phone to be able to ditch your phone carrier – check if your device is compatible here.
