Yes it can. This was the best non-smart phone I ever owned. It does everything well.

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...

Yes. I bought this phone for my brother as a basic phone on my Verizon plan. It's been working great. It's a very nice simple phone with a colorful touch display. You will not need to purchase a data plan.

You can, but the phone is tiny so it's hard to see pics and vids. Especially since the processor isn't fast, so you can only rely on Wi-Fi to watch videos. I had this phone for a year, I couldn't send pics through text messages, that was a downer. But it is a cute phone for someone who has tiny hands and has never had a touch screen phone before.

Most services work. I did find that SMS images would not be received with the standard message app. Nor did it receive any android updates.I rooted mine, set s-off, and installed lollipop and it works like a dream!

A data plan is not needed, phone works great with just text and voice plan.

You should be able to. I sent pics via bluetooth to a phone that had it also. call consumer cellular -most of the time you get someone who knows their stuff.

Yes, my daughter is on a t-mobile prepaid plan. The phone cannot send or receive pic messages.

Even though I do not use this phone for texting, there is a 'write' feature that allows you to send messages. Hope this answers your question.

Yes you can. Personaly I hate the reception on this phone. But you can send and receive messages from email addresses. All you have to do is send a message to an e-mail address instead of a phone number. Say a friend or spouse. It will display to them what you need to use as an e-mail address. Like 123-xxx-xxxx@att.something something. But I was able to send my e-mail a text or picture and reply to the phone.

No data plan is required by Verizon. Verizon is my carrier. I signed up to pay an extra five bucks a month over the cell phone service so I could send up to several hundred texts a month, but no data plan, unless you were going to use this phone to browse the internet or something like that, but I would not advise that.

Yes u can however u can't send pic message without data unless using a message app.

There is no camera on this phone so you wouldn't need to, nor would you use this phone with a data plan so you probably wouldn't be receiving photos sent from others either. It's just a basic phone which is fine for calls and old school for texting, (no qwerty keyboard).

Depends on your carrier, but the phone will work without a data plan. Just remember, the phone has bugs or might be mine had some, so i returned it for a nexus one at that time. This was like 4 years ago.

No, the phone does not require a data plan. I have the phone and do not have a data plan.
