Question about whether this service is what I need

Hello, I am currently based in the UK, but having a US phone number that I could receive calls and texts from the US from would be very useful. Is this app ideal for that use?

Locked-In Number with SIM no longer Locked-In

Woke up to this message in the morning to my surprise. I had ported in my number and activated a SIM card (both the old white and new black ones), and the lock previously showed green meaning it was locked-in permanently.

Is anybody else getting the same message? I'll contact CS during business hours, but this looks like another example of TN randomly fucking things up.

Def need data use info on app (unlimited)

I hate not opening the app and seeing how much data I've used. It would be a very useful addition and I'm shocked it's not already implemented in the app. I know we only get 20g and for $35/mth it's expensive for low data. But id still like to know my usage when I open the app and go to the 5g tab.

Missed Incoming Calls

I have been receiving notifications for missed calls but I never heard my phone rang. I have tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the app and/or clearing cache but this missed calls issue continue to persist. Anyone have any suggestion on resolving this issue?

(I have no issue with outgoing calls or with outgoing/incoming text messages. I am using an Android phone and with the TextNow purple SIM card. I got it almost a year ago. My network indicates "TextNow VoLTE 5G".)

Keep esim active

Does using cellular data keep the esim active? I don't really care if my number gets reassigned but I do want to keep the free data available on the free flex plan ($0).
