TEXTNOW: The App That Keeps Your Wallet Happy

TEXTNOW: The App That Keeps Your Wallet Happy Let’s talk about something we all love—saving money. If you’ve ever looked at your phone bill and thought, “Why am I paying this much just to say hi to people?” then you’re in for a treat. Meet TEXTNOW, the app that gives you free calling and texting. Yes, you read that right—free. Not “free*” with a million terms and conditions, just plain old, no-strings-attached free. What is TEXTNOW? TEXTNOW is a communication app that provides free phone numbers to its users. You can call, text, and even send picture messages without spending a dime (well, as long as you’re connected to Wi-Fi). It’s like your regular phone service, except it doesn’t come with a heart attack-inducing bill at the end of the month. Fun fact: If TEXTNOW had been around earlier, we wouldn’t have had to come up with excuses like “My dog ate my phone bill” to avoid paying it. How Does It Work? Here’s the deal: TEXTNOW operates using Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). That’s a fancy way of saying it uses the internet instead of traditional cell towers to connect your calls and messages. Once you download the app, you get a free phone number—kind of like winning a mini lottery, but without the confetti.
