Mobile virtual network operator TextNow Wireless has recently decided to launch a new SIM card -- specifically one that allows mobile users to use their own devices on the Sprint MVNO’s network for a price as low as $14 per month. As a Wi-Fi-centric, cloud based mobile operator, TextNow makes full use of software that enables smooth switching back and forth between Wi-Fi connections and cellular networks. Furthermore, the company is always monitoring Wi-Fi and cellular networks in real time, which puts its in a good position to easily transition between the two when there are inconsistencies in either connectivity options.
This business model also gives the carrier the flexibility to continuously offer wireless services with generously discounted rates. For instance, its latest SIM card offering just costs $5, and is easily made available by way of the TextNow’s official website, plus it offers one whole month of wireless service absolutely free of charge.
As explained by Derek Ting, the chief executive officer of TextNow Wireless via an official statement, the carrier has generated some momentum recently, especially in terms of attracting new customers eager to avail of budget friendly mobile plan options. The new SIM card is a logical solution for those who want to sign up under a TextNow plan, but still prefer to use their current smartphone device.
As far as wireless plans are concerned, TextNow Wireless does offer very friendly rates. Basically, the MVNO offers five voice call plans starting at $14 per month and already come with a hundred megabytes of 3G or 4G data, unlimited 2G data use, and unlimited text messaging and voice calls to the United States and Canada. The carrier’s biggest plan is priced at $60 per month, and offers 6 gigabytes of 3G or 4G data, unlimited 2G data use, and unlimited text messaging and voice calls to the US and Canada.
With regards to continued growth, TextNow Wireless has managed to sign up over 8 million active monthly users to date. Moreover, it claims that its mobile app has already logged over 60 million downloads. Some may remember that a year ago, the MVNO had added international calling options to over 150 countries, as well as a way for its customers to receive bill credits by viewing video ads or selecting promotional deals from advertising and marketing partners, all within the TextNow Wireless mobile app.
To date, the mobile operator offers six options for devices. To explore these options, feel free to browse phones and plans from TextNow Wireless at Wirefly now.
