The Net10 phone I have now will not allow "group" texts - they show up as picture messages that I can't open. Does anyone have better luck with this?

Never heard anything about that when I had a my net 10 phone. Sorry, I can not help you out. Good Luck. Oh, sometimes you can use google search and put in net 10 phone with group texts. Maybe that will help you find your answer.

Go to Ting's BYOD page, then look at the Sanyo list. Looks to me as though it's there, but does not support MMS, anymore.

I only use mine with one phone line. The only thing that I've noticed is that this causes the phone to display "L2 No Line" constantly while the LCD display is on the home screen. This isn't a problem, however, since the LCD display has multiple text lines. So I believe all of the other information is able to be displayed even while this message appears.

I used to work with US Sprint and it is impossible to get photo texts if you do not wish to pay for data download. That being said this phone CAN recieve group texts and photos BUT if you do not have a data plan (not mandatory with this phone as it is not a smartphone) it will cost you to download (to send or receive). I do not know if group texts is considered data download as photos are. I would guess not but I might be wrong. regardless, I would say yes though you may have to pay extra. This is based on US networks I am not sure about international.

I just recently got texting on my plan, but I really don't use it. It does work, I have successfully sent and received messages. Kind of a pain in the butt without a QWERTY keyboard.

No. With Net10 it is a normal contract phone. I have Unlimited text and phone with 2.5 gig data.

No. Net 10. I have had Net 10 for almost 10 years and at one time the service was fine. Last couple of years nothing but a pain in the butt. As Mountain Mutt states get a newer phone with a different carrier. I use the phone as a back up in case of emergency.

As far as I know, it is not capable of text messaging. Do not know what would be needed to do so or even if it can be adapted.

if this phone is designated for net10 use then you won't be able to use it with a straight talk plan

Len, Honestly can't remember and just as honestly don't want to. That $*^-#&@ Phone quit making calls about 2 weeks after I bought it! And Net10 customer service ran me around for months with broken promises and 0 fixes. It was a bad phone (probably not an indicator of Motorola's quality or service) but the horrible customer service the Net10-Tracfone-StraightTalk conglomerate provided. I will say they seem to have straightened out that department since my hair pulling experience. You have few choices in this area of providers so I guess you can only hope for the best. Good luck, sorry I wasn't more help.John Len, Honestly can't remember and just as honestly don't want to. That $*^-#&@ Phone quit making calls about 2 weeks after I bought it!

You need to use the Sim card from Net10... It is what connects you to the Net10 network.

Gary, Were you able to find a phone which shows number of messages? We are in the same boat, this is the only reason we have not bought this phone yet. I am looking for a similar Panasonic model with that capability. Thanks, junaid

I tried to use it with Net10, which is part of TracFone and it didnt' work on their network, so probably not.

Talk n text should work - but nothing else as the support servers were turned off by Microsoft some years ago.

As far as I can tell, there shouldn't be a problem. My daughter's have Android phones and there no issues with texts/pics, videos, etc. I don't have a data plan, but I do have the larger text/pic message plan added. Hope this helps...

I would have to assume that it has something to do with the type of communication (for that phone)with cell towers and witch leases they have in the area. You could also go to net10 website and contact them for further information.
