Even within the US, if you take out TextNow's SIM card and just use WiFi, your current TextNow services would still work as they do today. Your current TextNow also still works if you sign in to the same TextNow account on other compatible devices connected using WiFi or cellular data.
Outside the US, you will need to either use WiFi or provide cellular data, swapping your international SIM card in for TextNow's if your device only has a single SIM card slot, to continue using TextNow as you've had been.

On Android, you could first use your regular dialer to enter the called number. The textnow app would next take over and make the call. Doing this does not eliminate ads as they are displayed at the end of the call
Texting has to be written, sent and received through the textnow app.
Textnow is VOIP, so it uses cellular data. Calling and texting data is permitted to pass-through. Regular data through the browser or any other app does not work. Only exception is reaching google.com and performing a simple search. Tapping on any result fails as only staying within the search page results of google is permitted.

They shipped me the SIM for free (Tello); it is used just as a normal phone; she has unlimited calls and texts and 0 data (which is exactly what I wanted.)
I bought it off of Stacksocial I believe.

will it work in a GSM iPad with iPhone version of text now installed ?
what if I want to use an email that is none of above ?
GRrrrrrr @ Extracting as much data as they can from customers !!
Did you try editing the APN settings for Textnow?

If that fails, try these settings instead:

With Sprint winding down, all their phones will be worthless for cellular service unless the device is unlocked. AT&T though is implementing a whitelist which limits allowed phones to mostly AT&T-branded devices. T-Mobile is not as strict but still requires VoLTE.
Because Textnow is voip-based, they will probably be the only mainstream option for unlocked LTE (but without VoLTE) Android and Iphone devices that have nowhere else to go for cell service because of the AT&T and T-Mobile restrictions of phones allowed onto their system.
It's $30 for a year with 200 minutes a month
