Four phone plans. 3GB of data per month on each phone. Unlimited calling. Unlimited texting. For…. less than $100 a month? No way.

At TextNow, we pride ourselves on the amount of control we give our users over their TextNow account. Using your Wireless Account page, or the settings menu in the TextNow app, TextNow users can change the card on their account, up-or-downgrade their plans, port in numbers to TextNow, swap the active device, and more.

But, like every Marvel comic book since 1963 has taught us, with great power comes great responsibility. Some people just aren’t ready for that kind of pressure.

It starts innocently enough: You buy a phone for your friend, or maybe for your kid. It’s charged to your credit card because you’re the one who’s awesome enough to pay for it. And then the person using it decides they don’t want a Tall plan for $19.99/month — they want a Quattro, for $59.99. So they upgrade, perhaps not realizing you’re the one getting charged. And while you might have been good with $19.99, maybe you’re not so good with $59.99.

We know, Wayne! That’s where the TextNow Family Plans come in.

As the owner of the Family Plan, you have complete control over the management of the plans. The people on your plan don’t get to up-or-downgrade their plans, they don’t get to change the credit card on their account, they don’t get to change literally anything that might potentially cost you money. You decide, because you’re in charge.

And just to save you a little bit more money, each additional line you add is offered at a discount:

Plans so cheap, even Garth can afford ‘em!

Remember that example I gave up top of four plans at 3GB per phone per month? That’s four Grande plans: the first one at $27.99, then three more at $20.99, for a total of $90.96! And no contracts, no hidden fees, no taxes.

Even better, you can mix and match these lines any way you like, too. So for example you, as the head of the Family Plan, can be on a Tall for $19.99, and add any of the other plans as additional lines — Grande, Venti, Quattro, or another Tall. It’s completely up to you!

And today, we just unveiled our new data plans, giving you even more data than ever for your hard-earned money.

It’s all part of our overall goal of bringing people together by providing the most affordable service we can. And with the money you’ll save, you’ll have more time for the important things in life…like rocking out to Queen in your AMC Gremlin.

Party on, Wayne!
