Hey! so i just got this phone from textnow wireless and they use sprint towers i believe.

Q: Will the rooting method still be the same ?
Q: Will rooting and installing a rom make the phone useless or i would just re-download the txtnow app ?

since its powered by textnow app calls and txt msgs go through the textnow app and not by the default txt/call app.

I'll appreciate any help! :)

Sounds the same as FreedomPop, yes the process will be the same and you can install ROMs with no problems

Sounds like you've gotten everything you needed but I feel I should still point out, just for reference to you and anyone else - The phones from Enflick are the exact same as the original models from the carrier, the only thing added is the ad-free TextNow app from Enflick. Enflick even has them pre-rooted before they ship them to you. Or at least all 4 of mine were.

    Yep just make sure you update your Profile and PRL in System Updates and install the app after flashing a ROM.
