What is Textnow

Overview

How to cancel Textnow

Cancel subscriptions bought through app stores

• iOS (App Store): Open the App Store app → tap your account icon → Subscriptions → locate TextNow → tap Cancel Subscription.
• Android (Google Play): Open the Google Play Store app → account icon → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → find TextNow → Cancel Subscription.
• Use the store’s subscription page to confirm cancellation and keep any confirmation screenshots or emails for your records.

Cancel direct purchases or TextNow account

• For services bought directly from TextNow (SIM, web purchases), cancel in your TextNow account under My Account or Settings where available.
• If you need a written cancellation, send a signed notice (registered mail recommended) to TextNow’s Canadian address as proof of delivery.
• For guidance on written notice and address details, consult a consumer cancellation guide: Postclic: Cancel TextNow.

What happens when you cancel

Service access and renewal

Cancelling a subscription typically stops future automatic renewals. For store subscriptions, cancellation prevents the next charge but may allow access until the current paid period ends.

Account data and number

Your TextNow account, messages, and number may remain active unless you explicitly close the account or let a number expire. Keep a record of your number and any important messages before cancelling.

Will I get a refund?

In‑app purchases and store refunds

• App Store and Google Play in‑app purchases are subject to Apple/Google refund policies; TextNow cannot override those rules.
• If you want a refund for an in‑app purchase, request it through the App Store or Google Play refund process.

Direct purchases and exceptions

• Refunds for purchases made directly via TextNow (SIMs, web plans) are handled case‑by‑case by TextNow; no automatic 14‑day cooling‑off guarantee is stated.
• Unused days on in‑app subscriptions are generally not refundable.
• For general cancellation and refund guidance for TextNow purchases, see: Unsubby: Cancel TextNow and Postclic: Cancel TextNow.

General rights and expectations

TextNow does not state a standard 14‑day cooling‑off policy for direct purchases; refunds depend on the purchase channel and TextNow’s discretionary policies.

How to escalate in Singapore

• Check your payment provider’s dispute options (bank or card chargeback) if you were billed after cancellation.
• For unresolved consumer disputes in Singapore, contact local consumer advice organisations for next steps and mediation options.
• Keep documentation when escalating: receipts, screenshots, cancellation confirmations, and delivery proofs for registered mail.

Documentation checklist

What to gather before cancelling

• Account email, username, and associated phone number.
• Receipt or proof of purchase (App Store/Google Play/credit card statement).
• Subscription ID or order number, if available.
• Screenshots of subscription status and any confirmation of cancellation.

Proof for written cancellation or disputes

• Signed cancellation letter and proof of postage/registered mail receipt.
• Copies of support tickets, chat transcripts, and any responses from TextNow.
• Bank or card statements showing charges and dates for dispute purposes.

Common mistakes

Not cancelling via the correct channel

Example: Users uninstall the TextNow app but do not cancel the subscription in the App Store or Google Play; payments can continue.

Always cancel through the platform where you purchased the subscription (App Store/Google Play) or via your TextNow account for direct purchases.

Failing to keep proof

Example: Not saving confirmation emails or screenshots leads to weak evidence when disputing post‑cancellation charges.

Keep timestamps, screenshots, and registered mail receipts; these improve chances of dispute resolution.
