Yes without a dought. I am 70 years old and the Sony Ericsson W518a makes it easy for someonemy age. However I would recommend it for any age category.

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

You can, however, use it to text to a phone... with the phone number and text address of the recipient's carrier's text address.

The phone can do it, but your provider might have specific MMS configuration. So check the setting with your provider.

Yes. You setup a pin when you setup the phone and then you can access messages remotely.

I have the same problem with an ATT phone. I had to download a messaging app in order to send or receive pictures. Very frustrating. Also, my phone won't vibrate when I get a call or text. It's either on loud or silent.

Yes, it has the "voice-to-text" feature built in. When you go to send a text it is left from the spacebar. Just like apple products.

You can text with it only. This phone is to old a phone and does not have the capabilities of the new phones. You can send something to your e-mail but that is it.

Yes, If you have WIFI you can get apps (kik) (text free-you can call on this too!).

Hi, I'm sorry I don't text. But, I went to the User's Manual and under Section 6:Messaging It reads thus: Viewing A Text Message from the Message Inbox 1. From Idle mode, press Menu&gt;Messaging&gt;Message Inbox Sentbox 1. From Idle mode, press Menu&gt;Messaging&gt;Sentbox. There is no mention of Message Threaded in the Manuel. I also call T-Mobile Customer Service and they said Message 'Threading in only on Smart Phones. Thank you, I Hope This Helps

Chris, easiest way may be to use the carriers email to text feature. Most cell phones can receive emails as text messages using these gateways. lookup how to do that at your carrier. AT&T; is found at: http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB63037&cv;=820#fbid=DxYGzkHOYoZ

There is no text messaging on this radio. Some people say they have set up the Wires data mode, but I have never done this. It does not have preprogrammed text messages like some other radios.

Yes. There are two popular ways. If you activate imessage then you can send and receive texts to anyone who has an iphone. Keep in mind you have to have WiFi available for the WiFi only models. If you have Google hangouts then you can text to anyone who has Google hangouts. In fact, If you also have Google voice then you can use Google hangouts to make phone calls and video calls (just like facetime ) to any number within the us. Again you need WiFi for the WiFi only model. I hope this answers your question. Let me know if you need more information.

I have not set text message up. I set it through email instead. I think it can be set through text message. Maybe I should look into it again too. There was some complication when doing that.

Yes, but to my knowledge, sending them is done with sVoice. An on-screen keyboard was rumored, but I have not seen it. It would be tiny on that screen. The device also needs a phone or tablet to send and receive SMS.

Yes, there are two types of alerts. App notifications and email.You may be able to use email to SMS if your carrier provides it. Pictures come through, but the text shows up in HTML.http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/how-to-send-e-mail-to-sms-text/
