I was able to use the SIM on a locked ATT phone, locked Verizon and locked T-Mobile phone. It worked on all three Android phones even though the website says you need an unlocked phone. Currently using on a locked T-Mobile. If you want to use TextNow on separate phones you have to set up new accounts tied to different emails. You can't just order new SIM cards under the same account and plug them into new phones - it won't work. WiFi calling does not require a SIM though. Unfortunately, I couldn't use my Google Voice phone number with the "free" SIM since "2G like" data speeds were too slow (see below). You'd have to get a plan to make that work.
Chances are slim to none that you can get them unlocked before 180 days to use on ANY other carriers.
Rare exceptions: A few phones will work on TM from Day 1
It presented me with Canada phone numbers for text option....
Interested to see if anyone has ported in an Ontario number....
Why would you mention something if you're not willing to at least point fellow SDers in the right direction?
several will come up. A good amount of them aren't capped on data, they just slow down to 2g speeds

It does however include free international calling, and it's a bonafide mobile line so it works with all 2FA/OTP services: https://slickdeals.net/share/android_app/fp/610145
2GBs data-only is about $8 w/taxes.
1. Redpocket/Verizon for $15 for 5G. (Redpocket/T-mobile network has bad coverage in my area. Have the real phone# just in case some SMS verification issue. And I can ditch this # when good deal shows up).
2. Google voice#: Paid once a $20 porting fee. The old # that friends/familes use which never changes.
3. TextNow#: Free. For business contacts which rarely rings.
#2 and #3's SMS verification sometimes would not work. Then I'll have to use #1 to verify.
Let me know if there is any better deal out there.
Personally being able to select network in Redpocket is a big plus for me.
