How to set up Call Forwarding

TextNow users on both iOS and Android can use Call Forwarding if they are on Ad Free+. (For Nationwide Talk & Text with Ad Free+ and Data Add-Ons this is included as part of your plan.)

You can purchase Ad Free+ by opening your TextNow main menu and tapping on Remove Ads.

Here's how to enable and disable Call Forwarding on your TextNow app:

Note for iOS users: if you're not on Ad Free+ turning on Call Forwarding will prompt you to purchase Ad Free+.
