Yesterday, for the second time in three months, I missed out on an opportunity to earn money because I didn\u2019t have a working phone number. I was so incredibly frustrated. I\u2019m sick and tired of having almost no money, staying at the Union Mission. I desire something better for myself .<\/p>\n
I think I found a solution. I found a company called TextNow that gave me a 901 phone number. Unlike Google Voice, I did not have to have an existing number to get the new one.<\/p>\n
I can use the new number to text ONLY WHEN ON WI-FI, because I currently do not have cellular service. That limits me to about 7-10 AM on weekdays, a little longer on weekends – you see, the Union Mission where I stay at night does not have Wi-Fi. Still, having a working phone number a few hours a day is for better than nothing.<\/p>\n
FRIENDS- email me at paul.ryburn@gmail.com if you want the new number.<\/p>\n
