Use a virtual number to contact friends and family.
TextNow is an app that is easy to use with a virtual number that you come up with or that is automatically assigned. You can send text messages to those who are on your contacts list or others who use the app. A benefit is that you can talk to people from across the world instead of those who are in your country.
After you create an account with TextNow, you will see a list of phone numbers to choose from based on where you live. The app is ideal if you want to text someone and don't live in the same area and have a charge associated with your phone if you try to text or call outside of your calling area. Once the account is set up, you can use the number to text or even call people so that you don't have additional charges with your phone. Keep in mind that you can't call European phone numbers. Aside from sending text messages, you can also send pictures and videos. Start with free minutes, and watch videos to earn more free minutes to use the app.
