If you have, hit the comments and share your experiences. Outside of occasional brief tests, I haven't used TextNow as my carrier. The only real advantage to that nowadays is that if you live and/or work somewhere that has poor cell coverage, but does have Wi-Fi, you'll likely enjoy much better connectivity.Īlso, mobile hotspot is not included with this plan, but is coming this summer, according to a TextNow spokesperson. One important note: Like Republic Wireless, TextNow leverages Wi-Fi (when available) for calls and text messages. And for what it's worth, TextNow's 5GB plan runs $29.99 per month. How much LTE do you really need? Only you can answer that, but I've seen reports indicating that the vast majority of users consume less than 5GB of mobile data each month. The plan itself is typical "unlimited": calls, texts and high-speed data, though with the usual caveat that if you burn through more than 23GB in a month, your speed may be reduced. (TextNow isn't allowed to specify, but according to Wikipedia and other sources, it's T-Mobile.)
If it's a Sprint model, you'll be on Sprint's network if it's GSM, you'll be on a "third-party" carrier.
TEXTNOW PLANS FREE
(TextNow also has family plans, after a fashion: each additional line costs $29.99.)Īll you need is an unlocked Sprint or GSM phone and TextNow's free SIM card.
Here's one more: TextNow's new unlimited-LTE plan costs $39.99 per month, making it one of the most inexpensive single-line unlimited options out there. When it comes to finding cheap phone service, you've got lots of options. PT mark your calendars and watch for more details soon! The never-ending search for cheap phone service Last item: Next Monday, June 11, I'll be in San Francisco, where I'll be joining CNET's Brian Cooley and Lexy Savvides live to share some awesome deals for dads and grads! (Psst: They're awesome for moms, flunkies and everyone else, too, so tune in regardless of your status.) The show will air at 2 p.m. That said, CNET has bills (and writers, ahem) to pay, and this revenue-sharing system - which, incidentally, is longstanding and common across all editorial corners of the interwebs - helps. Every product or service I share in this space is because I think it's cool, unique, useful and/or an amazing deal.
I've never been asked to, and I'd never agree to. Second, and this is somewhat related, you may have noticed a small addition to the "about the Cheapskate" text at the bottom of each post: "CNET may get a share of revenue from the sale of the products featured on this page."Īllow me to clarify: Here at The Cheapskate, I will never, ever write about a product solely to drive link-clicks or sales.
