This model will let you text. Tracfone charges by the minute, maybe .5 for a limited number of characters. Be sure to go to Tracfones website 1st, to see if this model has service in the zip code where you register it. It will be listed, I think, for sale in that zip code. If you click on the model it will show you the details, like all online sale sites.

I have a $25/month plan that provides unlimited texting and 250 minutes, but no data. You can purchase data plans separately, based on MBs.

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.

It does not work with Verizon. They use a different carrier technology. But, you can get an unlimited-texting ATT GoPhone account for $25 a month and it works perfectly.

When you buy the phone get triple minutes, and I buy 60 minutes every three months and that's 180 minutes but it depends on how often you use your phone. Mine is not always in my hands and my minutes last me. You should figure out how much you are going to use your phone and texting uses less minutes. My phone cost me about $80 a year

You can go on line and go to your mail carrier but it eats up your minutes. You are better to have people text you.

Yes, however, you will need to purchase a sim card from your mobile carrier and pay for a minimum amount of service. It essentially has very basic cell phone abilities, including being able to send and receive commands via text. With T-Mobile it only costs me $5/month for my sim card in it.

How I did it, yes but it is well worth it. The lowest tier is $20 (400 minutes, no text messages) followed by $30 for the next tier (1500 minutes, 1500 text messages).

$60 offers data package and may be required for 4G phones. Both offer unlimited text and talk. I would be careful when purchasing from individuals, and suggest you purchase from ATT or retail walk-in stores or businesses.

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.

You can call ATT as I did and ask them as I did and they said no. I only have a phone to make calls and send text and they are unlimited for $45. They will tell you what other things cost. I use my computer for everything else. Bill

I believe they raised the $25 plan to $35 now. I currently own this phone on a pay as you go basis with $10 for 1000 text a month plan. I don't use many talk minutes (at most about $5 a month) because I usually text. So it runs me about $15 a month. I do have the option to change to a $30 a month plan which includes; 1500 text, 1500mins, and 30MB data a month, but I am happy with my current setup. I think this is the last of the phones that works with a grandfathered pay as you go plan. I hope this helps.

Depends on your plan. I chose the 35.00 a month plan, talk/text for the service, plus 2.77 service charge (tax?), if I do not pay, no service.

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.
