Hi! I see that you are suddenly unable to make any calls using TextNow. Let’s dig into this together and get it sorted out.

To start, can you tell me a bit more about what happens when you try to call someone? For instance, do the calls fail right away, do you hear an error message, or does it just not connect?

Meanwhile, here are some initial steps we can try to troubleshoot the calling issue on your Android device using TextNow:

1. Check your internet connection:
- Make sure you have a stable Wi-Fi or mobile data connection.
- Ensure Airplane Mode is turned OFF.

2. Update the app:
- Go to the Google Play Store and check if there is an update available for TextNow. If yes, update it.

3. Restart your device:
- Sometimes a simple reboot can clear temporary glitches.

4. Check app permissions:
- On your WebKit browser/Android 10, go to Settings > Apps > TextNow > Permissions.
- Make sure the app has permission to access the microphone and phone.

If you’ve tried these already, please let me know so I can suggest more specific advanced steps. Also, if you are using any battery saver or data saver modes, temporarily disabling those can help.

Are you using Wi-Fi or cellular data when trying to call? Any recent changes like installing new apps or updates?

Looking forward to your reply!
