TextNow Free Data Disclosures

To be eligible to receive a free SIM card and two (2) months of free Month Pass wireless services from TextNow (the “TextNow Incentive”) under this TextNow/Current promotion, you must (i) be a new Current user, who has (ii) successfully signed up for a Current account through the link current.com/free-data-textnow, and (iii) receive an Eligible Payroll Deposit of $200 or more into your new Current account within the first 45 days of opening your Current account. An Eligible Payroll Deposit means recurring deposits of your wages or compensation from sources such as your employer, payroll provider or government payer, including where you are acting as an independent contractor. Certain deposits do not qualify as Eligible Payroll Deposits, including non-direct deposit ACH transfers, inter- or intra-bank peer-to-peer transfers, transfers made to debit cards from digital wallets or P2P services (PayPal, Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, Google Pay, Facebook Pay, or other similar services), mobile check deposits, and cash deposits. Current retains full discretion to determine qualification for an Eligible Payroll Deposit. 

The SIM card will be delivered to the mailing address you use to register for your Current account after you have successfully signed up. Delivery times may vary.

The two months of free Month Pass service will be provided by TextNow and will begin immediately upon your successful activation of the SIM card after you have received the Eligible Payroll Deposit set forth above. These free Month Passes cannot be paused or extended. Upon expiration of the free two-month period, your SIM card will be automatically enrolled into TextNow’s free Essential Data service.

This TextNow/Current promotion is jointly administered by TextNow, Inc. (“TextNow”) and Finco Services, Inc. d/b/a Current (“Current”), and TextNow and Current each retain full discretion to determine qualification for the TextNow Incentive as well as reserve the right to withhold the TextNow Incentive in the event of error, suspected fraud, illegality, or violation of these Terms and Conditions. Other restrictions may apply. The TextNow/Current Promotion is subject to change or withdrawal at any time and without notice, and is not transferable. By receiving the TextNow Incentive, you also acknowledge and agree to be bound by the applicable terms and conditions located at https://www.textnow.com/legal/terms-of-use and https://cdn.current.com/choice_account_agreement.pdf (including the arbitration provisions and class action waivers).

These Terms and Conditions were last updated on and are effective as of 12th May, 2025.
