About TextNow Wireless

TextNow Wireless uses a hybrid model of wi-fi and traditional phone service for placing phone calls and texts.  When wi-fi is available calls and texts get routed over the wi-fi network, when it's unavailable Sprints voice network is used.  Plans begin at $18.99/month for unlimited talk, text and data with the first 500 MB at 4G speeds.  Being a Sprint MVNO, the carrier supports Bring Your Own Sprint Devices (BYOSD), however to take full advantage of their service you do need to purchase a phone directly from them.  A BYOSD phone will only have access to Sprints data network for phone calls, but not its voice network.
