Find another texting app
The first minor annoyance you may encounter is that the app will noisily alert you to log in and use it if you havent done so in about a week and 12 hours. I last used it a week ago at 2p, so this morning at 2a, I woke up to a nag notification ringing in my ear.
However, the most egregious problem is lack of security. After deleting the app, it recycled the phone number it had assigned to my account. Somehow, whoever ended up with my number was able to pull my contact list. My roommate got a text from my old number - long story short, they tried to get $1000 from her by impersonating me and saying i needed money for medical tests.
Add that to the basic functionality TextNow gets wrong - delays of up to 2 hours in receiving messages, messages arriving out of chronological order - and i would not recommend anyone to use this app.
