Yes it does.....my issue with the phone is that I ordered over the internet; there is a light burned out.....in order to get it fixed they want the phone sent back. Can't afford to be without a phone to send it back.

It does everything, all kinds of messages, internet browsing, tried GPS with all other connections turned off and it works... Great phone. I am happy with it

No, it's not a smart phone. You have the capabilities to get on the internet, play games, etc... But I just used it for text and call uses and It's perfect.

Hi, the phone is very good. But it has software issues...like rebooting....wifi not working....camera not opening....no software update possible.... If it works without software bug,, then it's very good phone. Mine has the above mentioned problem.....

Yes, but may NOT be able to utilize all of the phones features. It's hit or miss with "unlocked" phones. I wasn't impressed with it's wed capabilities, but is fine for text and calling. I would not buy it again personally, but let your needs be your compass when choosing a phone.

I've used my s425g several times for texting and it's always the same. One half a minute to send and one half a minute to recieve for roughly a ten average word text. If the text is to big it will send it in two or more parts, each part consuming a half minute. It's a great phone.

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.

Yes, you can send and receive pictures. You can use wifi also but is better if you have in addition data plan because you can use all functions everywhere

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!

not sure. iy works on ATT and any other network that allows GSM phones. check with your provider if they allow GSM out of network phones. will add it's a great phone but i have never been able to use it for txting although some give instructions. i bought it because it's waterproof and it's features(fm radio and music player) and flashlight. battery life is excellent too.

I've been using this phone for about 10 months and I think it was a excellent buy. I haven't had issues with dropped calls and the keyboard makes texting much easier. Only issue I have had is that I can't receive picture texts, but you might be able to have your provider fix that option on phone (ATT/T-Mobile). Overall, I would Recommend this phone.

It really depends on your requirements. it is not the most user friendly phone out there... it does save you on data charges, if don't use the Internet, vs a smart phone. I went from a smart phone to this, and have been tempted to throw it in the ocean more than once. on the positive, it does have the keyboard, which makes texting easier than a flip phone. would I buy it again? no. but it may suit someone elses needs perfectly. it does, after all, make and receive calls and texts! :)

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 it does and fairly decent.... but I suggest you get at least 3g or 4g speed service ... I been using simple mobile for months and at 40 dollars a month for unlimited everything you get what u pay for... and calls and texts usually are recieved without any issues. WiFi usually works fairly well but of course that depends on where you are.

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.
