can I text on this phone? My children only text.

Yes, from menu go to messages and you can write or view a message. - prev answer is correct in the fact that you have to use number pad for spelling- no true keyboard - this is difficult for some seniors who may have shaky fingers

The instructions say you can, but it is not all that user friendly for this function. For example, there is no typewriter type keyboard, just a phone keyboard. So to type any length of reply would take a lot of patience.

Time and date are on the text messages. Battery good for me but I don't use my cell that much. Really only have it in case I need help so I'm not a good judge of the battery life. For me it lasts a long time without having to be recharged. I text my children and grandchildren but no one else.

The phone is inbox-style texting. If it has conversation grouping... I have not found it!

If you have the correct app, then you can text Android devices, as well. Two apps that I know will allow this are textfree and pinger. Both are free.

No you can't. You can only text from it that's if you activate the service on it. Its only available in the UK. But not in the us because they disabled it. You can try to find an app in the android market.

I've actually heard of ppl doing that. I know that you'll be able to text and make calls but the data won't work unless you manually configure the phone settings. I've never done it so it might be a pain. I'm not exactly the nerd tech type but here's a link that may helphttp://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc

I use skype and it works perfectly. I have internet Wi-fi so I did not hook it up to verizon... so I am not sure about texting like we do it on phone. You can ask in AT&T; If you want. Thanks

Unfortunately, The representative at T-Mobile told my parents that they would have to manually type their contacts by hand from there AT&T phones. Although the phone works well it also has it's limits. Best wishes!

This is not a mobile phone. If you want a mobile phone that can receive text messages, choose a carrier in your area and get one of the phones they offer. And then deal with the battery issue by getting a spare battery for that phone.

GSM ONLY and Microsoft has turned the servers off, so all you will be able to do with it is make calls. Not even sure you can text with it.

With ALL the new androids one text is one minute from the text bucket. If you're a heavy texter(I've seen some people say like hundreds of texts a day is average for them), I don't think these phones are the way to go, unless you use a free over wifi texting app.
