I want a refund
- - I paid for a SIM over a year ago but never received it.
- - A new agent acts like they don’t know my case and my number was replaced; I want a refund.
I paid for a SIM card over a year ago, and I never got it. I've been asking for it and talking to somebody at customer service, going back and forth for a couple of weeks now, and sent them screenshots of my payments more than once.
I gave them my shipping address again to get a replacement more than once, and now all of a sudden, I'm talking to somebody new, and they're acting like they don't know what I'm talking about. Today, I noticed that they took my phone number that I have been paying for on subscription and replaced it with a new number. Now, I am very upset, and I want a refund. I don't care about the SIM card anymore, so I called customer support and went through the chatbot, and I never got anybody.
Then, I called them from his consumer, and I never got a human, and they just hung up. I am very unhappy; I want my money back.

- Good service
Preferred solution: Full refund
That phone number is *** it doesn't help you at all it just tells you to go online and that's exactly what I'm trying to avoid because it's not helping me I need to talk to somebody I got this si
Online services have failed to help me with my SIM card, and I'm super frustrated. It's been going on for like 24 hours, and I just please need help from a human.
- I dont know
- Online support seems to just give me the runaround
Preferred solution: Help getting my SIM card activated properly so it works
User's recommendation: Get ready for frustration
I need to retrieve call logs
Nothing happened. The message merely said to use the app.
The reason I'm trying to reach someone is because there is not enough information via the app. I need to speak to someone else who is in IT, or tell me what to do.
Preferred solution: Information on how to access my call logs beyond what is available on the app

Verified ReviewerWhat did I just pay for!??!
I just paid for a daytime pass and for some reasonits not working? SO, what did I just pay for!?
I am pretty sure that text now just completely ripped me off!! And guess what? Wanna know what happens when you call their customer service line? You are met with an automated response that solves absolutely NOTHING!!
So once againWHAT DID I JUST PAY FOR? WHERE DID MY MONEY GO? HOW DO I CONTACT SOMEONE WHO WORKS THERE? I am extremely pissed off and still dont have a friggin phone!
Complete rip off. Waste of money. Absolute Scam. And I want my damn money back, like now.
I guess Ill keep text chatting with Susan from Pakistan or whatever robot they have scheduled for today.
DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY! YOU WILL STILL NEED A INTERNET CONNECTION WITH OR WITHOUT A PLAN FROM TEXTNOW![]()

Verified ReviewerI got banned on my text now account for spamming emojis to my friend, he didnt report me or anything we were having fun, I got logged out and permanently banned from my textnow account
If feel that this is unjustified because I've never gotten banned, they could of done a day ban instead they banned my account.

Verified ReviewerText now is not letting me make any calls out
It’s telling me I need to verify my email. I have done that.
I don’t know how many times. My email is already connected to my TextNow app, and I can’t make any calls. It was working fine, and all of a sudden it stopped working. I am receiving calls in but can’t make calls out.
I don’t know what the problem is.
It is asking me to verify my email. I need a verification code that’s not being sent to my email, so can someone please resolve this issue as soon as possible?

Verified ReviewerUnable to make calls
Unable to make any calls whatsoever because the phone calling icon disappeared from the homepage. I've done everything possible to retrieve it and nothing works.
It's unfortunate that your AI chat bot is totally useless.
I wouldn't recommend this app to anyone that wants to have reliable service. Why is there no email address on your site to get help?
User's recommendation: Don't waste your time with this app.
