I can't get back in 2 my account n y'all will not help me

I've been trying to get ahold of technical support, and y'all only have a recording, and then it ends the phone call. It will not help me get back into my account. This is BS.

User's recommendation: Would not recommend

Yes, I need somebody to call or service support or customer service like actual somebody to talk to so they can really help me

TextNow - Yes, I need somebody to call or service support or customer service like actual...

And yes, in the situation where I am calling because I utilized a text now on my iCloud, it was done with my new number. This number has now expired and it just keeps stating that if I had text now there, it keeps implying that I have to maintain that number I changed with my iCloud.

Consequently, I can't download or update any of my apps. It's as if I'm locked out of my phone, but I can still access it in a way.

However, it's truly urgent for me. I just need this number to be removed from my phone or a resolution is needed.

Preferred solution: About a expired number

I’ve been logged out, and reset emails are not coming to me via my email address

I clicked on my text now app to make a call, only to find I had been logged out for some reason. I never logged out in the past 10 years.

So I tried to log back in, but cant remember my password. So I used the forgot my password link, and it told me a reset had been sent to my email address dougpperry@***.com Unfortunately no reset email has arrived to my email address yet. Ive tried using this tool for an hour now and nothing shows up. I just used my text service last night with no issues.

My text number for the last 10 years or so, is 650-419-****. Please help

Pros:
  • Great service
Cons:
  • Can not receive reset codes for forgot my password

Preferred solution: Just a reset link that actually arrives to my email like the one for pissed consumer did.

No one answered, I've been cut off from all my contacts. I'm unable to retrieve them.when calling customer support, I am taken to a recorded voicemail, where no one answers..

User's recommendation: Do not save all number in this one app , you may never get them back.

The "support" number only gave an automated speech about how to get help about privacy rights, then hangs up. It would be great if a person would answer the phone and actually offer real support.

TextNow - The support number only gave an automated speech about how to get help about...

I called the customer support number and didn't get connected to anyone. The call just ended after the prompt and privacy rights message.

I'm not calling about privacy rights.

That would be obvious if someone picked up the phone and talked. I'm beginning to understand why there's a 'Pissed Customer' agreement.

Preferred solution: It would be great if the locked in subscription would work, since it was paid for.

My account gets disabled as soon as I make it

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I'm receiving new emails and obtaining new numbers. I texted once and received no response.

Then, upon checking, I discovered my account had been disabled. I believe it's a joke; there is no valid reason. I am not committing any illegal activity, and I should be entitled to have as many numbers as I want since they are linked to different emails. Yet, as I mentioned, I haven't done anything wrong.

They want to block them as soon as I create them, and they don't even have a phone number we can call. What's the point? It's a joke. I'm glad my child didn't get kidnapped or something while I was talking to the suspected kidnapper.

Then, just like that, it disabled on me. I mean, really!

Loss:
$6500
Pros:
  • It is convenient
Cons:
  • Talk to real person

Preferred solution: I do believe I should receive some kind of compensation for lost wages

User's recommendation: Don't rely on your number to be there or your account and don't send anything important cuz they're not going to help you it's a joke
