There’s nothing more dreadful than getting the monthly reminder about your phone bill — especially when the average phone plan costs about $1,275 a year. Wouldn’t it be nice if those pesky fees just *poof!* disappeared? Well, that’s exactly what TextNow has done.
TextNow is a free wireless service that offers calling and texting for zero dollars. You might be thinking, Free cellphone service?! How could this be?? We know it’s hard to believe so let us explain.
To get free cell service, all you have to do is get a TextNow SIM for just 99 cents and voilà! You get unlimited calling and texting to the US, Canada, and Mexico on a nationwide 5G/LTE network, without the bill.
We know what you’re thinking, What’s the catch? Don’t worry, there won’t be any surprise fees. Because TextNow doesn’t have retail stores or sales teams, there aren’t any overhead costs pushed onto you. Plus, the service is provided through an app with unobtrusive ads, so you can continue using the service for free to your wallet’s content.
If you do want to get rid of the ads, you totally can with a flexible add-on for just $4.99 a month — that’s cheaper than your latte. You can also get other add-ons, like data starting at $8.99 a month.
Basically, the power is in your hands. You can customize your cell service however you want it to be: add on what you want to add on, get rid of whatever you want to get rid of at any point in time. Awesome, right?
TextNow is truly the cellphone service of the future. While traditional providers still try to trap you into contracts, TextNow has completely done away with those, so you can peace out whenever you want.
You’d also be happy to hear that you can purchase the TextNow SIM and add-ons straight from the website or in the app so you don’t have to drive all the way to the nearest retail store and deal with pushy salespeople trying to upsell you all day.
The same goes for quitting the service. No need to talk to someone from sales trying to get you to stay, so you can save the “It’s not you, it’s me” speech.
Name another cellphone service that lets you customize your plan, has no pushy salespeople to pressure you into buying things you don’t need, and offers calling and texting for free. Yea, we’ll wait.
The wireless carrier model is outdated. TextNow is here to change it with free, flexible, and reliable phone service in an app.
