Do you have to pay to text on it?

DO NOT BUY. It is almost 5 years old. Updates are no longer released. There is no phone/text sms service. Nobody buys this for texting. Hackers buy it to rip apart and reprogram with Linux. Get an iPod Touch instead.

No, it does not have a talk to text feature. It is also very noisy. I do not like this product.

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

No, this is not considered a smartphone. It is in fact, a "feature phone" that does Not require a data plan, but instead has an optional $10 add-on data plan that allows for unlimited data as long as your plan has unlimited texting. So the real answer is: it can be charged for data, but you don't have to if you don't want to.

I never do text, but it can connet to internet, there are several chat apps for Android, so I think you can text.

Yes although I choose to receive text messages instead. You set that up through the Total Connect website.I use wifi monitoring instead of phone line monitoring.

Yes, you can add a text bundle to the basic plan. I think the text message plans start at around $10.00/month.

Yes it will do both call and text. It works on the GSM cell phone network. That would be ATT, Tmobile and others but not Verizon. You can also get a gsm sim card from other suppliers. I used Ultra mobile and they have a $19 per month plan.

@JCNot as far as I can tell. The unlimited talk plans also come with text; in which case, Google Voice wouldn't necessarily save you money.
