App-based mobile phone service TextNow is adding iHeartRadio as an app in its Free Flex Plan. It says its customers now will have “5G data access to stream music and live radio while on the go.”
TextNow describes itself as the largest ad-supported free wireless service in the United States. It delivers wireless service through an app, providing unlimited talk and text, free data for 25 apps and access to the 5G network. Customers can add more wireless data and remove ads with an Unlimited Plan.
“The partnership marks TextNow’s first major content integration and reflects the company’s broader push to build a free content ecosystem into its wireless offering, giving customers a more flexible experience that aligns with how people actually use their phones today,” the company said in its announcement.
“Instead of locking people into rigid monthly plans, TextNow gives people the ability to activate data when they need it, scale it based on their lifestyle and stay connected on a reliable national 5G network.”
The company said itrecently introduced eSIM and flexible data plans, making it easier for people to activate service from the app.
“With iHeartRadio now included in the Free Flex experience, customers can activate a free eSIM and get immediate access to their music and radio catalog,” it said.
TextNow says its larger aim is to make the wireless experience more customizable.
