Tired of paying for a bunch of data you don’t even need? The mobile carrier TextNow recently launched a flexible range of unlimited data passes that could be a fantastic option.
TextNow’s new unlimited data passes include an hourly pass for $0.99, a day pass for $4.99, and a monthly pass for $39.99. Under the new system, all you have to do is pay for an amount of data upfront via the TextNow app and that’s it – you immediately unlock your 5G data allowance.
TextNow is currently one of the most cost-effective mobile providers on the market thanks to its attractive offering of completely free calling and texting across the country. If you’re a frugal, light user, TextNow is a service you can use to your advantage if you know exactly how much data you need and when.
You can sign up for TextNow online or through the app to get started with a completely free WiFi calling setup. Alternatively, you can order a SIM card for just $1.99 to get traditional mobile coverage nationwide. If you’re eyeing the unlimited data plans described above, you’ll need a TextNow SIM card to use that specifically.
Flexible unlimited data options
Is TextNow good value?
Certainly: TextNow is a good overall option for those who really want to limit their monthly subscription costs. Especially if you’re a light user, paying just $0.99 for an hour of data in a fix is a great option if you rely largely on WiFi for your connection.
If you look at the full monthly data bundle, there are currently cheaper prepaid plans available. That said, there is a lot of flexibility in installing TextNow. For example, if you decide you no longer need a full month of data, you can easily switch to one of the shorter-term plans or return to the call-and-text-only service for free.
