Mint doesn't allow porting of trail sim
Ting puts fraud alert on the $1 sim and has been pain to get activated.

Port your number to Google Voice or similar, where you can forward the GV# to the actual phone number of the moment easily. Profit from free service. Rinse & repeat.

Textnow is a free burner number

It's an app, not a provider

You still need to provide your own data or WiFi to be able to use it

For $5 one-time charge, you can get a TextNow SIM card to provide cellular data for calls/text via their VoIP app. (Provides data only for the app, not for general use.)

Do you have a link to that news about text now? I can't find any.

This is their last press release: https://about.textnow.com/press-r...er-growth/

Honestly had NO CLUE TextNow had a sim that works for free. Definitely going to pick up one for older phone that is sim free but actually use sometimes with GV. I don't mind ads if they're just in the app and not all over my device.

Who said textnow will stop offering their free service? I can't find any info about that. I am a TextNow user with a sim and never been notified about cancelling their free service. TextNow premise is about being free and they have over 50 million Android users. If they stop free, they will lose tons of users. If they stop their free service, are they going to stop the advertisements?

Do you have a source (website) or did somebody just tell you that?
