Hi, lovely viewers, and welcome on the board to this anticipated post. A lot of things have changed over the years. The methods of getting Free USA numbers in the past have changed.
Most of the methods out there trying to charge you some $$$ before you can get a USA phone number for online transactions are outdated. I know some 9ja guys charging some bucks to help people get USA phone numbers.
Good news, now you can get a US phone number via TextNow APK to make free international calls and to receive verification calls/messages to sign-up or verify strict verification process US-based sites like USA PayPal, Google voice, USA Bing ads Account, etc., from Nigeria without spending a dime to anybody, 100% free.
I hope you are ready to board my ship? I’m no one else but Shelaf, taking you on a journey to the United State from Nigeria. There are lots of websites/apps that are offering free USA phone numbers, but TextNow will be our main focus.
What is Textnow App?
TextNow is one of the greatest free text and phone applications available. What makes it unique is that it has a number of incredible features. It provides free SMS, photo messaging, calls, and voicemails as part of its service. There are some advertisements, however, they may be turned off for a nominal price.
It offers free U.S phone numbers. It allows you to send text messages (real SMS) to any phone number in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and 100 countries in the World for FREE.
TextNow can be used to make free calls to US numbers and also receive calls from anywhere in the world for FREE! You can receive calls, make calls, text, and receive messages with it. I used it to verify my foreign Upwork and Fiverr accounts, as well as my foreign PayPal account in Nigeria. Check the screenshot below for the proof.

Get a Free US Phone Number in Nigeria Via TextNow APK
Make sure your VPN is up and running, I normally use premium ExpressVPN though, and ensure to use ONLY USA server address. You can use ip2location.com to confirm your IP location.
- Now, visit https://textnow.com and click on the Sign-Up link. Fill in your detail and click on the Sign-Up button, in the next page, you will be asked to “Enter Your Area Code”.
- Simply log on to http://www.worldatlas.com/na/us/area-codes.html
- Scroll down to choose your preferred Area Code or choose any one from the below screenshot.
- Input your Area code and tap on the “Continue” button, then select your preferred USA phone number and click on the “Continue” button. You should have your own US phone number within seconds without leaving Nigeria.
For more convenience, you need to download the TextNow mobile app. TextNow app is available for the Android OS, which is good for calls and messages push notifications. You can make calls and receive calls with it, you can also send and receive messages with it. I used TextNow for verifications on sites/features that do not support Nigeria.
How to Download TextNow APK
TextNow is available in Google Play Store, but Non-U.S residents can’t download it easily there, even with the VPN, you may not be able to download the app from Play Store. Simply follow the steps below to download TextNow APK Version
- Copy the Play Store link of TextNow.

You must be online to receive calls with TextNow free version. You can view your calls and SMS messages history at the dashboard of your TextNow, once you’re signed in to your account.
