TextNow, one of the more unique mobile providers in the U.S., announced today its latest offering aimed at reducing consumers’ phone bills. The newly launched Free Essential Data plan offers users complimentary data for essential online services like email, maps, and ridesharing apps, along with unlimited calling and texting on a widespread 5G network.
Addressing Growing Phone Expenses
Statistics point to an alarming trend where the average American consumer spends approximately $2,000 annually on mobile services, yet struggles to manage a $1,000 emergency expense. Unlike traditional mobile providers who periodically increase their rates, TextNow presents a viable solution by eliminating monthly phone bills through an advertiser-supported model, allowing customers to allocate funds to other important areas of their lives.
Flexible Data Options for Added Control
For customers requiring more than the basic data usage, TextNow also offers Flexible Data Passes, which are designed to adapt to varying data needs without the commitment of traditional contracts. These passes are available in hourly, daily, or monthly formats priced at $0.99, $4.99, and $39.99 respectively, providing a pay-as-you-go option directly through the TextNow app.
Getting Started with TextNow
Interested users can begin with TextNow by downloading the app from the Play Store or App Store, creating an account, and ordering a SIM card via the app. Activation of the SIM automatically enrolls them in the Free Essential Data plan, thereby eliminating the complexity and ensuring an easy transition to a more economical mobile experience.
