TextNow is a mobile virtual network operator that uses T-Mobile’s network to provide you with cellular coverage. If you insert your SIM card into your phone or download an eSIM and find you can’t access the internet you may need to update your APN settings. For the fastest data speeds on TextNow with working hotspot (if your plan supports it), use the settings shown below.
Not sure where to begin? I have a step by step guide on how to setup your APN settings for both Android and iOS devices. You can follow that guide to input the settings found below into your APN profile.
Be sure you copy exactly what you see. If you do not, and have you extra spaces or an extra character that shouldn’t be there the APN won’t work right, might not even save, and you won’t be able to properly connect to TextNow.
