Blair S., The Messaging App should work, and there are also additional chat programs that you can download from the Google Play Store. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

Hi,I'm sorry I don't text.But, I went to the User's Manual and under Section 6:Messaging It reads thus:Viewing A Text Message from the Message Inbox1. From Idle mode, press Menu>Messaging>Message InboxSentbox1. From Idle mode, press Menu>Messaging>Sentbox.There is no mention of Message Threaded in the Manuel.I also call T-Mobile Customer Service and they said Message 'Threading in only on Smart Phones.Thank you, I Hope This Helps

Yes, you would need a service plan (or prepaid plan) with standard SMS text messaging in order to use this.

Yes, very easy to text with but my phone had alot of issues with the touch screen not working well. A bunch of reviews came back with this same problem. I am sure not all of the touches have this problem. Check it first before you purchase.

yes you can talk or text. Biggest problem with texting is the tendency of my fingers to hit one character further from the edge than I want (e.g., 's' i stead of 'a'; 'k' instead of 'l')... the case is a bit bulky.Not related to the question exactly but my case is just about 1 year old and the anchor point for the lanyard broke recently... and the security of being able tlk keep the phone tied down was the reason i bought the case.

I agree, never found it. I only found the texting function useful, actually.

They can text to other ipod users using the installed imessage app. There are also some great free apps (if they are careful) to download. My son used pinger, he can even send images thru it.

I just recently got texting on my plan, but I really don't use it. It does work, I have successfully sent and received messages. Kind of a pain in the butt without a QWERTY keyboard.

I use my iPhone 4, and for swiping & song changing or checking my progress I can fairly easy do that. Texting is bit of a challenge but doable.

You can also use the stock messaging app to text, but it'll deduct from your airtime balance.If you tap the little Messaging icon in your contact list, you can tell your phone to automatically open Voice by default for texting. It's fairly seamless.Also, note that Google Voice texting does not play well with many automated text messages (banking alerts, SMS verification systems, etc). In those cases, you may want to use your phone's text number instead of your Google Voice text number.
