TextNow Question

[jonmark1905]

TextNow keep deleting my accounts saying I violated the service, it only happened after I use it for a few calls and texts.

Granted the number cannot point to a real person in any shape or matter, the protonmail account was created on a VPN, and the TextNow profile, was on VPN, and I had the VPN turned on before downloading and while using and before uninstalling. is that why?

And, of course I cannot call customer support to complain, so I was wondering if anyone had any similar issue and how to go around it, otherwise, I am gonna do a cash bruner, but what worries me is if there are any LE agencies that monitor cash bruners by default for other uses cases.

Which app doesnt delete your number after few days of disuse?

I’ve have Text now for many years.
If I don’t use it for awhile I get a warning that the number will be issued to someone else.
I’ll just call a made up number and send a text.
Starts the clock again.
No other issues.

I actually use it, but I try to login say two days later, after reaching out to a couple of providers/LMPs and I get an error message at login saying I violated their terms of service

Hey, make life simple: BestBuy and get a prepaid phone with text. The apps are not reliable and pain in the ASS.

Comment Clarification: The Apps I reference are on the ones downloaded, not the prepaid cell phone aka “Burner Phone” + u can use it for other deletes.

I use text now and haven’t had that issue. I paid the $5 or whatever to lock in the number for a year. Had to go this route to use this number for WeChat. Chinese love WeChat and it has translator built in
