Radiation is good
Today I found that my TextNow SIM card (T-Mobile network) has been deactivated. I paid $5 to keep the number but my number gone together with SIM card.

That's NOT good. I saw some people reporting the same on Reddit today, and there were no solutions at that time.
I think TextNow chat support is open right now, if you have a chance to ask them what's up.
Just fyi, my Canadian TextNow #, with no SIM card or add-ons, is still working as of now.

Oh, I missed this reply on Reddit. It's worth a try.

Mine stopped working yesterday on an unlocked Sprint Samsung S6 with the latest TextNow T-Mobile network SIM. The connection switched from LTE to 3G and calls would not connect. When a reboot didn't fix it I used the app Network Mode Universal from the app store to set the Preferred Network Mode to LTE Only and the phone immediately connected to LTE and calls started working.

My phone started throwing errors about a week ago about voice service not available. At first it was intermittent. It has been constant for days now. Settings says not connected.Originally Posted by Boz1
I just did a network reset and reentered the TN APN. Still no go.
It does work over Wifi so my number has not been cancelled.
They are going through the process of getting off Sprint. Maybe that has something to do with it even though my SIM is the new T-Mobile one.
I was going to try the SIM in a different phone, but I doubt that will change anything.
How does one contact TN?

If you go to https://help.textnow.com/, a floating chat icon will appear at the lower right of your screen. Tap that, and then tap Get in touch, and then tap the Live chat link that appears.

I just spent an hour with them in chat. They claim that I don't have good enough T-Mo signal. I have another phone that uses T-Mo. The signal isn't great, but it works.
They also tried to blame it on my phone not being unlocked or not compatible. The phone is unlocked and I had been using it with the SIM for months until it stopped working recently. BS.
The symptoms to me look like T-Mo does not recognize it as a valid SIM.

Did you happen to try yeswap's suggestion that I pasted above?

I have not tried that yet. The phone is set to prefer LTE.

Wonder if there’s something bigger going on with them? My WiFi only number was deactivated summarily a couple of weeks ago, and it had seen activity in the previous 14 days. Not a number I was attached to, so I can just pick another but my call and text history, along with contacts and blocked numbers seem to have evaporated as well.

Why yes, that is a bag phone
I had a phone number that I wanted to park somewhere. Using the app for about a year, I thought that might be a good idea to port it over there. Now I'm worried, especially since their support seems to be worse than FreedomPop's was!

I contacted TextNow support. They are not able to re-provision SIM or recover lost phone number.
My screen is bigger than yours

The SIM is now 99 cents.
Get a GV #, and it won't matter if Textnow erases your phone #. I even use a non-local area code. (less spam calls)

From my understanding, the TextNow sim provides unlimited 2G data to use with the TextNow app. Can this slow data be used with other apps like Waze?

No. Data only works for TN calls & texts.

I have read reports that the data can be used for Google search - but only the "first-level" search. Have also read that the data can be used for the Google app.
I myself haven't used TextNow's sim. Have only used their wifi app.
