TextFree wants 4.99/month to lock in the number, remove ads, and unlimited minutes. Bills to Google Play account. Thats cheap because it works on any device, don't need an unlocked phone, although the calls go over WiFi.
How aggressive TextNow is in terminating #s seems to depend on location, and what the demand there is for #s. I have a TextNow free plan SIM, and I was one of the lucky ones that got the 250MB/mo unrestricted data offer.
Okay. I didn't realize TextFree was limited to 60 minutes/mo. Based on the info at that link, of the 5 listed there, only GV and TextNow are options for the OP without "strings" or "hoops". That list is limited. I'm not sure why it didn't include Talkatone that I mentioned above.

@RIMDHoward, sadly, you missed being able to sign up for WhatsApp with a GV # by several months.After resisting getting a WhatsApp account for many years, I finally visited a country where lots of businesses listed WhatsApp as a contact method, so I finally signed up in the 1st week of April, 2024, using my GV #.

I have been using Textfree/Pinger for years as an "other" number when I don't want to give people and places my real cell or GV number, but it only works with Wifi and mobile data. Textnow with free cell service appears to be better - for as long as it lasts. I have been down this road before with Ringplus and Freedompop free cell services.
[Edit] Yes, they know or can find out if the number you give is a true cell number. I use a VOIP service (Textfree) for some things to keep my real cell number from accumulating spam/scam calls. Some places won't take it.
Hey @GPz1100, you said this: That leaves me a bit confused. I'd pulled my Sprint-based FP Volt credentials long ago to use on my PBX, but never did that with any of my SIMs Are you saying that the act of putting a different SIM in a GSM phone makes the previously-retrieved user/pw partially blow up until that SIM is put back in the phone?
I also got TextFree service and number as a loser line. This is the number I give when I have to give one to a non-critical business. It goes straight to voicemail in their app on my cellphone where I can get the message. Not putting your real number out there to be sold on the black market goes a long way towards minimizing the problem.
