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

[@LA-Tech757]

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

[@martymartin7010]

Travis !!! Keep producing !!!

[@jevonsims900]

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

[@jeffhale1189]

Thanks for sharing. Blessings on your day.

[@gemh663]

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.

[@SsShadowbaneSsS]

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

[@TravisMCP]

YET

[@A_Well_Traveled_Man]

Yeah sound like you're an iPhone user lol in the US

[@A_Well_Traveled_Man]

Might try switching to Android.... Like so much of the world is

[@peterparker2068]

Maybe that's the catch. They are just selling us SIMs. We'll see how long this company lasts.

[@jimcabezola3051]

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.

[@chanel808life-mthi]

Yep esim would be nice 👍

[@CloudPixel]

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

[@619WWEFAN]

Travis and his scrabble sandwich is back ❤️🤗

[@philliprhinehardt6268]

I might try this out.

[@Aarzak]

I wonder if they monitor your conversations through their app?

[@jjjacer]

wouldnt use it for anything i need security for, but might be good for a backup phone, or one you need for signing up to places you dont want spam from on your main. im gonna see if this can work on a really old phone of mine as most carriers wont let it connect due to its age.

[@peterparker2068]

Maybe the catch is getting people to buy a $5 sim. We don't know how long this company will last.

[@vladi_g702Insta]

​@@peterparker2068 It's been around for years and I've been using it for probably around 6. And they gave/sent me a free SIM card in the mail ! They run special promotions/deals sometimes.

[@BruhHowDidIGetHere]

@@peterparker2068 TextNow has been around since the dawn of time

[@MrVeeBlog]

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.

[@BubuBORG]

This is gonna be used for burner phones.

[@SonniiTea]

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.

[@TravisMCP]

That's actually a great idea I didn't think about.....

[@stillwaters4097]

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

[@VAKZ23]

YO TRAVIS!!!

[@TheAnthonyLJ]

GUESS WHO'S BACK BACK AGAIN

[@ultra8067]

It got king's man vibe to it

[@sallyj4209]

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.

[@piratesmvp]

I don't consider that a downside with all the financing options available today. There's no reason to be buying phones from the carrier in 2024 aside from short-term free upgrade benefits.

[@damayoclinic]

Where do you purchase the SIM card?

[@TravisMCP]

From the website. Follow the link in the description

[@mardigrasw]

R WE BACK

[@richv1893]

Nothing is FREE. Everything has a cost.

[@bobweiram6321]

They claim they make their money on Ads through the app, but I think it's not the only way they make their money.

[@babyschuerman]

It's only a matter of time then they start to charge you for this service

[@nguyendang3194]

This service is FREE I used it for 4 years and never pay a dime for it but the SIM card

[@05zianne]

@@nguyendang3194 I’ve used it for 4 years also. I even got the sim for free but now I think the sim it’s $4.99

[@vladi_g702Insta]

​@@nguyendang3194I've been using TextNow for about 6 years and have had the same number for probably 3 years and it's great, I like it a lot. And I actually got a free SIM card from them (they sent it to me in the mail a year or so ago) !

[@tomcrown69]

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.

[@TravisMCP]

If you are on WIFI it is free. That's how I suggest using it.

[@tomcrown69]

@@TravisMCP unfortunately that doesn’t work in the San Francisco Bay Area as it’s always out door weather. A lot of folks spend more time outdoor vs indoor with extensive use of their phones. It’s not unusual to see people walking in the street with their head down to the phone and unaware of the danger to them due to traffic.

[@CorbyCave]

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

[@davidempire4874]

No eSIM though

[@MylesTech]

i only have esim only sadly

[@patflores2976]

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

[@Moedrohead]

"There's something called Essential data." Yaaaa 1GB of data lol. Data is essentially the reason why most get people get a phone. Most people don't spend their time all day talking on the phone. 1 GB is only going to last 30 min. Especially with games and video apps. Kinda pointless.

[@TravisMCP]

It's free so it doesn't cost you anything. And like I said in the video, I'm not suggesting this is your primary phone.
