Does the phone support SMS and MMS Messaging?

Yes SMS, but not MMS, you'll need a memory expansion, and luck works in the phone.

The phone is compatible with AT&T (I'm currently using it on their plan), but not all of the features have been available to me you need to mess around with the Internet apn to make your data work and (you can find that on forums) the mms apn is unavailable, so multimedia messages dont go through. It should be fine internationally.

No. One of the decent phones left that has dialogue style texts but doesn't have data plan. It can but my daughter only needs to text.

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.

Yes, I'm using the AT&T compatible straight talk SIM card. My mms didn't work for the first week, but after that, everything works great.

Yes it is. So you should be able to use it with any carrier once you get their sim card. You have to change some settings however to enable MMS messaging (sending photos through text)

Yes, but only simple texts... no pictures ... and there is no keyboard... just the number keys. So far this phone has worked out very nicely.

Hi no it supports Global, LTE/CDMA and GSM/UMTS. Under settings to go More...(below Data usage) tap on Network Mode and chose the mode in the Preferred network mode display. Thank you Sam samddsmotorsports@gmail.com

Yes. That is what I use with it. To get the messaging to work (wouldn't receive pics) though I did have to get tech support from consumer cellular.(it only took a few minutes) But after that it has been working fine. It has been a great 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.

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

YES, IT WILL WORK BUT YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT CUTTING IT. I ORDER TO GET DATA + SMS + DATA YOU HAVE TO UPDATE YOUR SETTINGS : LOOK FAMILY MOBILE FAQ https://www.myfamilymobile.com/Support/DeviceSupport/DeviceSupport.aspx?device=a649a78a-bd94-457c-90a3-7c8b7ac7b1f8 UNDER " Internet and Picture Messaging (MMS) settings "

That really sucks. This really looks like a fantastic piece of kit. Not having MMS is putting a serious dent in my desire for this device. =/

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!

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