Download the TextNow app to your device from the Google Play Store, iTunes App store or the Windows Phone Store. If you are trying to use WhatsApp on PC then you need to open your Android emulator and search for TextNow in it.

2. Open the TextNow app & Note down Your Number

Once the TextNow app is downloaded to your device, open it up and complete the setup process. Once the app is setup note down your number.

In case TextNow does not show you your number or you forgot to note down your number you can find out your TextNow number by following the steps below.

Android: Once the app opens on your Android phone click on the 3 line icon located in the top left corner of your Android device and you should see your phone number.
