TextNow Surprises

For context the phone I have now is a Nokia 8.3 5G

The following were said previously to work for textnow service even without wifi on their free plan data sim. These are my experiences using the service a little bit more on my primary phone.

You can still send MMS flawlessly. I assume this is very much intended.

Facebook apps don't work

Google Voice can notify you that you received a text or voicemail but you cannot read either of them

You can still ask Google a question but it is slow.

My logic is the newer the phone that comes out the more glitches will be patched up. YMMV

Also free video calling even on their free sim plan, has been discontinued.

Wow! Although I never used TextNow video calling, it's disappointing to hear about a service being downgraded...
