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.

seems a nice option to park an old number and receive verification codes etc.
Would toss one in the glove compartment for an emergency back up.
Also, if it's free after SIM purchase, why not get like a hundred of them just in case for the future?
Used FreedomPop previously for years.
Not ideal, but managed to have it for free. (Sometimes paid for extra data ahead)
Do not, of course, get it if you are looking for "easy"
I guess I'll just eat this $1 if it is an issue, really great deal for emergency only phone etc. So many people always claiming to buy Red pocket or something else for that purpose which is fine but still.

Obviously not free, but great for a phone the kid can use for calls and texts.
Is there a free/low cost plan that offers native caller/text messaging on an eSIM? Basically I want a service (preferably not on T-Mobile, but definitely not a deal breaker) that lets me park a number, can use the native dialer/messenger (so iMessage will work), and on eSIM (so I can use a Google Fi data sim in the physical sim slot). Basically I'm trying to replicate what I had last year with Google Voice and a pile of Android phones; now we've switched to iPhone and iMessage has become a necessity (teens, blue bubble, etc.).
Then, we use Red Pocket for cheap cell service. You can get cheap cards on eBay that last all year. We get 500Mb a month for $5/month ($60 card good for the whole year).
Cheap, easy... most of the time all of us are using Wifi anyway (work, school).
Lastly, by using Google Voice, you can always keep that Google Voice number and change your cell service to whatever you want... no need to ever change your Google voice phone number.

Edit: didn't realize you were talking about talkatone, not textnow.
