Travis did you go back to Android? I just saw you talking on a Samsung in that video.

The one down side is the SIM can only be used in Unlocked Phones, which means people need to buy a unlocked phone or try their luck with unlocking a phone that is locked to a carrier, which depends on the phone brand and carrier brand it's locked to.

Me when there was no demonstration of the app and its services ie loading maps etc, is it like reallg slow map loading etc

I think it’s important to touch basis on the lock in your number and porting in cause porting in your number locks your number in permanently if anyone was wondering

I have been with Mint Mobile for less than three months. I am traumatized. My comments are not based on my opinions, but facts. I called to activate a new sim card. By the time I hung up, I received two notifications from my bank. The first was a transaction from Mint for almost $600(transaction was declined). The second notification was a transaction for $85.00. I notified my bank that both transactions were fraudulentNext, I called Mint and requested to speak to a manager. My request was denied, so I asked the representative to explain why the transactions were made. He deflected and eventually hung up on me. Please be careful. I believe that there are some insider scammers working for the company. If you use the service or plan on using it in the future, please do not keep your card on file with the company. To Mint Mobile: it's time to hire Americans. Those foreign nationals are dishonest and incompetent.

I feel like this would be perfect for a tablet if you wanted a cellular option but didn't want to have another bill (or add to your bill.) Now im kinda mad i didn't opt for a cellular option but hopefully if they offer esim in the future i'll definitely get one.

Their data is expensive, though...or, rather, they don't give you enough data for the money ! I need at least 40 Gb or 60 Gb or 80 Gb or more per month (I'm not even sure now) ! I'm always on my phone, on the internet ! And, I believe, TextNow only gives you like 10 or 20 Gb of data per month (I think it's 10 Gb), which is not enough for someone who's always online !

If it requires a sim...iphones wouldn't be eligible...does it do eSim?

I had it with me in Texas. It worked great in San Antonio and Dallas. Full coverage

i only have esim only sadly

I'm going to tell my daughter about it for the kids, thank you Travis for bringing this company into light. I never heard of it until I watched this video.

Not available in my area or too many attempting to get it. I'll give it a few weeks then try again. Thanks for the info bruh.

Where do you purchase the SIM card?

This is gonna be used for burner phones.

if you get a service or product for free, then you are the product.

Few questions. Who's towers do they use? How much does the actul data cost? Doesnt seem like making money just off just adds is sustainable

GUESS WHO'S BACK BACK AGAIN

I'm glad that it still supports physical sim cards. I used to work for cricket wireless and dealing with e-sims is a pain in the ass due to requiring qr codes to activate e-sims and the qr codes not working properly. The qr codes would say that the qr codes have been used already and activated even when going thru the system on the computer to active the e-sims, the qr codes saying that the qr codes are already used happens multiple times. I even had to contact customer service to try to active the e-sims and they were having the same issues that the qr codes were already activated multiple times. The most annoying part of trying to activate the e-sim is the customer service constantly on the phone would automatically disconnect the customer on the phone when trying to activate the e-sim. The customers phones issues were e-sims that were purchased from another country and cricket wireless can only activate iPhone 10 and newer iPhones thru e-sims because that's what the new system was used to activate e-sims. However, the e-sim issues affected alot of the iPhones that rely on e-sims. The customer would contact service and the customer service told the customer that they need to activate the physical sim card for there e-sim iPhone models but cricket wireless system was automatically updated and changed. I would be stuck on the phone with customer service doing alot of trouble shooting with e-sim trouble shooting steps and it got to the point that the iPhone customers had to use there older iPhones like the 8 or older iPhones to get there sim cards to work because of the physical sim cards working and being more reliable than there e-sim counterparts. These e-sim issues is why I only buy and support physical sim cards and not digital sim cards. The physical sim cards can be locked behind a sim card pass code that comes with the sim card kit that the user is required to know to unlock the passcode of the sim card or contact the customer service to unlock the passcode for the sim card when the sim card is locked. The physical sim cards called puk code which is called the personal unblocking code with consistent of 8 digits. The puk code is attached to the physical sim cards. If someone throws away there sim card kit, they automatically lose access to the puk code and customer service would be the only way to unlock the puk code or purchase a new sim card to bypass the customer service.

So my Question is how much does it cost for data usage?? I know a lot of folks who watch you tube Netflix etc when they’re out and about. In San Francisco Bay Area I see a lot of folks looking down on their folks going mainly to you tube or social media.

I might try this out.

There has to be some catch. For someone like me that doesn’t have Wi-Fi and only on data this wouldn’t work. I loved TextNow back in the day when I had access to Wi-Fi. I will say this is a great first step towards people getting free phone service that cannot afford an expensive phone service or contract. I’ll definitely check it out but I have a feeling with me being on data it wouldn’t be for me.

Thanks for sharing. Blessings on your day.

TextNow Has been very good to Me And Still Is

i have been using it since covid 19 had to get it because i lost everything doing covid and could not afford a telephone service and still using it today still trying to get back on track still using it since the acp program ended it really has had helped me i am very appreciated to TextNow

Great to see you again! Great that this service DOESN'T use eSIM. I hate eSIM, and nearly all my phones are de-activated old rubbish.

There's one HUGE CATCH with this service you have to call or text at least once a week to keep your same number.

It got king's man vibe to it

No eSIM though

I wonder if they monitor your conversations through their app?

This is going to become more popular in the future. I've already seen ESim plans that offer free data and free roaming data for foreign destinations. This is the first time I've seen free calls and texts being offered via WiFi though. Unfortunately this isn't available outside of the US.

Travis and his scrabble sandwich is back ❤️🤗

Nothing is FREE. Everything has a cost.

To bad it doesn’t work with esim since some phones removing SIM card trays entirely

YO TRAVIS!!!

R WE BACK

Whatabout oregon, oregon looked pretty f****d for service unless you live in a specific area

I upgrade after 4 to 5 years just because it becomes slow and has no more security updates. I wish this number becomes 9 to 10 years.
