Access to Essential Apps Plan Details
Effective: January 9, 2023
TextNow is offering a new wireless plan that includes access to data usage for select applications in addition to our standard, unlimited talk & text service. This plan is available for selected users with an active, TextNow SIM Card.
Included highlights:
- Access email, maps, and rideshare apps on-the-go
- Renews monthly for FREE
- Unlimited talk & text over the highest speeds available
To use wireless service off WiFi, whether for essential apps or talk & text, just make sure that you have an active TextNow SIM Card in an eligible, unlocked device, with a properly set APN. To check if your phone is compatible, click here. For instructions on setting the APN, click here.
You can purchase additional, unrestricted data (to access all apps and web browsing) from $8.99/month at any time. To upgrade, go to “My Account” in the main menu of your TextNow mobile app.
Please note, this plan will not allow you to download any of the included essential applications from the App Store or Google Play Store while off WiFi; to use these applications on-the-go, make sure they are already downloaded before you leave WiFi coverage.
