Maybe you just want data for a month or two at a time? No problem: Pay for the months you want, then revert back to the free plan. As with most smaller carriers, TextNow requires no contract. This free plan is available anywhere on the T-Mobile network. However, data roaming is not included, so your only option for service outside the network would be on Wi-Fi.
TextNow does use "real" SMS and MMS, which is important for things like shortcode messaging five-digit numbers used primarily for business-to-consumer messaging and advertising and two-factor authentication. In both cases I encountered a few setup obstacles, but with some tech-support assistance they were easily ironed out. Your mileage may vary. What's great is that I now have that LG G6 as a functional extra phone that's not costing me a dime to operate. When Wi-Fi is available, TextNow defaults to that.
When it's not, I can still make and take phone calls and send and receive text messages. The service even includes free calls to Canada, conference calling, voicemail and group texting. This article was originally published previously. It has been updated with the latest deal.
