TextNow Accounts for Calling and Texting Over the Internet

Need a second line for work, a number for a trip or a test number for app development? Compare TextNow offers from independent stores. TextNow is a trademark of its owner, and rStock is an independent marketplace not affiliated with it.

What a TextNow account is used for

TextNow lets an app on a phone or computer place calls and send texts over an internet connection, with a phone number attached to the account. Freelancers and small businesses use it for a separate business line, travelers want a North American number for a trip, and developers and QA testers need a working number to try SMS features in their own products. TextNow is a trademark of its owner, and rStock is an independent marketplace that is not affiliated with it.

Listing details that matter for a number

  • The number or area code attached to the account.
  • Whether the number is currently active and assigned to the account.
  • How the account signs in.
  • The age of the account and how it has been used.
  • The store's sales count, rating, insurance balance and buyer reviews.

Phone services often reclaim numbers after a long period without use, and TextNow has its own rules on this. Read them in the app or in the terms of use, so you know what keeps a number attached to an account. Follow TextNow's terms of use, along with the terms of any service where you enter the number.

Paying, receiving and checking the number

Independent stores list offers on rStock after approval, and every listing is reviewed before it goes live, but the platform does not test the number or the account you receive. You buy one product in the quantity you choose and pay from your rStock balance, which you top up with cryptocurrency through Cryptomus, credited in USDT. A verified email address is required first. The login appears on your order page as a delivery record, and your payment is held rather than released to the store right away.

When the login arrives, sign in and check that the number matches the listing, change the password, update the recovery email, and turn on two-factor authentication if the app offers it.

If the number or login differs from what was listed, open a dispute within the limited dispute window. The store answers first, a moderator can be called if you cannot agree, and a dispute can end in a full refund, a partial refund, release to the store or a split. Refunds go to your rStock balance.
