Within the US, TextNow's SIM card -- when used with their Free Nationwide Talk & Text plan -- simply provides limited cellular data to allow TextNow's app to be used (in the US) when you're not within WiFi range.
Even within the US, if you take out TextNow's SIM card and just use WiFi, your current TextNow services would still work as they do today. Your current TextNow also still works if you sign in to the same TextNow account on other compatible devices connected using WiFi or cellular data.
Outside the US, you will need to either use WiFi or provide cellular data, swapping your international SIM card in for TextNow's if your device only has a single SIM card slot, to continue using TextNow as you've had been.

if you are going to use voice/txt over data, then why not Google Voice ?
·
FYI, you don't need this if you have any phone with data. Just download the app for the same thing.

That's the whole point. If you don't have cellular service or wifi., You can get voice and texts for free. Ads have to be dealt w , though

I got this for my kid's iPhone but find it confusing. You have to use the Textnow app to use cell calls (you can't just call from the normal phone app.)

And where are you getting free data to make calls or text from on your phone?

Quote from meranamjoker : i didn't see any data from talkatone website. it requires wifi. just like google voice. Edit: didn't realize you were talking about talkatone, not textnow.
This Sim gives you data that can only be used in the textnow app to make calls or text, which is what separates this from the other options you mentioned, because you don't need to be dependent on wifi.

Quote from energyx : Yes. It includes enough data to their servers for VOIP and text via their app. Loaded with ads, so be prepared.
Obviously not free, but great for a phone the kid can use for calls and texts.
