Phone verification via TextNow app

To everyone who is about to use TextNow app to open up account with Telegram, or get Google Voice or Google Email verification.

1st attempt:
- Got a blank phone, no sim
- Coffee shop + WiFi
- Registered Gmail
- Downloaded TextNow app
- Got a phone number with a desired area code
- Downloaded Telegram
- Tried to register, phone number is banned

2nd attempt:
- Downloaded Google Voice
- Got a number, but needed to verify that I own a USA line
- TextNow app number received the Google Verification code, but asked to upgrade to see the verification message for $5
- $10 giftcard was send to Google play
- Purchases the 1 year subscription for TextNow app
- Google Voice code was received and entered
- Google Voice asked for a different number
- Google Email sends code the same way and after you put it in asks for a different number

3rd attempt:
- Changed the number in TextNow app from an A list area code to a common one
- Telegram tells the number is banned again
- Same problem with both Google Voice and Email

Conclusion:
Don't waste your time and money for account verification via TextNow app it only works as Call & Text app

Note:
I tried to verify Instagram, it put it under review for 24h, looks like it is going to bounce as well.

Another bump on the way with TextNow app

- The number in the app can be changed every 15 days

That's lot of attempts, well I can recommend bulksims.com for phone number verification. This the website I'm using for over 4yrs on my freelancing business. You can contact them to know more.

Who could you've possibly used it for over 4 years if their domain "bulksims.com" was registered around 2.5 years ago?
Oh-oh

We are looking for russian phone number to get Telegram premiere. Can someone help?

TextNow provides VOIP numbers so they wont work in most services.
You should try a non-voip service like https://simverify.com/
