    Hello Chantelle,

    Thanks for following up with us.

    Your order will generate a UPS tracking number as soon as it processes through the first UPS checkpoint and will be sent to the email we have on file.

    Thanks for your continued patience!

    Recently purchased a new phone from you guys and it shuts itself down for days at a time. I ha e tried to purchase another phone but it keeps saying I just bought a phone and I need to contact customer care but does not provide a way to do so online. I realize it May cost a little more than the sale price and that is fine. I just need a reliable phone. What do I need to do?

    @ Christia:

    ¡Hola!

    Esa es una gran pregunta. Cuando usted pide el dispositivo el teléfono más viejo todavía estará activa hasta que se acceda a su nuevo teléfono. Cuando el nuevo esta conectado el viejo se desactivará .

    Así que si usted quiere ser capaz de utilizar su teléfono antiguo mientras espera a que el nuevo llega usted será capaz de usarlo todavía .

    Déjeme saber si usted tiene más preguntas!

    Hi, Joe:

    Thanks for contacting TextNow support!

    My colleague just sent you an email to get your MEID number from you so we can swap your phone. Just reply to that email with the MEID and the ICID and we will get it switched and send you some activation instructions.

It would be great if a living human being would call me anytime after 9:00 A.M.today. i need a phone for work so i would love to resolve the issue of getting another phone as soon as possible. Thank you, Chuck Y.

    I made this account because I was locked out of another account (phone was stolen, and and believe they changed my info) I use the number for it as my way of getting into all my social media and email. How can I fix this?

    Hey Storm, I'm sorry to hear of your device issues!

    If you'd like to upgrade to a new one, you can simply place the order through the website at the listed online sales price! Otherwise, we can certainly look into some troubleshooting efforts for this, if you could please speak with one of our live chat representatives :)

    Hi San Juanita,

    if there is not physical damage to the device it will be covered under your manufacturer's warranty for 12 months. However, we will need to do some troubleshooting with you to decide if the issue can be resolved without a replacement device. If you would like to do that troubleshooting, you can reach out to one of our chat agents, who can be found in the bottom right corner of this page!
