Being that the phone runs on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean you do have such feature available as well as others. You may just have to enable it. http://www.greenbot.com/article/2105862/how-to-get-started-with-google-text-to-speech.html

Yes, but the voice recognition is not the best. Works best using the number.

Yes. You hear text sound via device. Read back of message is optional. You turn on or off. Not able to reply via text.

No, and I wouldn't reccomend you get it. I have had problems with not being able to make or receive calls, texts not going through, and the touch keyboard not working, this is the second time I've had this phone and it's had the same problems both times.

I know it has a slider keyboard, great for texting as I do A LOT for my work, answering emails too! I have AT&T; service and had no problems getting it to work with their service. Just be sure to get the service there in Chilie with the right network-GSM!

It depends on whether the phone is offered through the phone carrier. This phone model was problematic. I purchased two Sanyo Innuendo phones and had same problems with both. The phone has a nice keyboard, but the front touch screen would malfunction, suddenly lock, or dial unexpectedly. The phone would lose audio, and drop calls constantly. The text message limits are very short. The battery cover fell off. I read the reviews on this phone, and other people reported the same problems.

Yes, and several different ring tones. It has a display where you can text, but I have never been able to make that work. Mine is for my mom in a nursing home as she does not understand cell phones and this looks and works like a desk phone, yet you can unplug it and move about. Have had it two years and NO PROBLEMS&gt;

Yeah I think you can access the Internet and what not as long as you have an Internet provider. You can use calculator, music, etc. just can't send/receive calls or texts.

I'm sorry, I don't know. It's impossible to understand their written directions and I consider myself fortunate that the phone works for me. I will say the answering machine recording is terrible- There might be other ringtones but I can't find them.

To me this phone was designed for texting, especially since it has a flip screen with different keyboards. If I were you I would look into a basic phone.

I had the same situation and can now text and make and receive calls. It's worth a try, especially with no other alternative...

It depends on your service plan. I use the phone for texting without a problem and don't have a data plan on my phone Contract

My Mother actually had me send the phone back. The British accent took some time to get used to.I believe I had to hit memory then a number to get to a specific person. A person with low visionwill need some assisntance setting up the people/numbers they want.

Yes you can text. The keys are small but there is a stylus included that makes it easy to txt

It might, but, if so, I don't know how to accomplish that. All my texting on this phone is inbox style. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
