TextNow supports international calling from the United States and Canada to any other country! To make an international call, you'll need to add money to your account for International Long Distance credits.
The international rates you'll see are how much it will charge per minute. Once the call is connected, we start deducting the minute rate from your TextNow account balance. You can find out the current rates on our International Calling page, or in the app by tapping where it says Canada & US on the dialer page.
How to Get International Credits:
- Open the TextNow app
- Click on the 3 lines in the top left corner to open the menu
- Click Earn Credits & Rewards
- Here you can either Add Money to your account and Buy International Credit or if we have available promotions running you may also see options to Earn Credits by watching ads.
What about calling while I’m in Mexico or Canada?
Data roaming works differently from international calling. If your line is based in the United States, calls you make while you’re roaming in Mexico or Canada are covered by your plan, just like calling from home. Mexico roaming is available on all wireless plans, and Canada roaming is available on the Plus and Unlimited plans only.
