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.

I don't use a smart phone or the text, but I looked this up for you: The Motorola H17txt lets Android smartphone owners listen to their text messages without looking at their phone. Hope this helps.

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.

Certainly- use Samsung kies which will prompt you to upgrade it to jelly bean OS once you connect the phone! Easy and simple!

Yes it will text you to download it. I just updated to 5.1. Note going to 5.0. It pushes things deeper into thecgoogle ecosystem. I found all my emails combined under gmail. Not a huge deal, but a bit surprising. Nexus is not just a pure android experience, but more of a google/android experience

OKAY! Thanks. We're due to receive it on Wednesday so I'll know in a couple days. I just need to get my kid off my phone, wanting to play apps all the time. So, I hope it'll at least be good for that. It would be cheaper than the leappad systems/tablets if so!

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

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.

This is not a mobile phone. If you want a mobile phone that can receive text messages, choose a carrier in your area and get one of the phones they offer. And then deal with the battery issue by getting a spare battery for that phone.

No but their is an app called pinger that I heard of that allows you to text people and make voice calls but the call quality is not so good. My daughter calls me with pinger on the Samsung galaxy tab 4 8 inch model and she sounds like a robot lol

Yes you can. I send all my texts that way, its a lot easier then doing it from your phone it self. and you will find with a lot of use you won't be able to live with out this little keyboard. it is a life saber for me as a blind user.

Hello,they have games and apps for older children (which I haven't tried yet since mine are 5 and 2 years old). Plus the new Innotab 2S is Wifi ready so that would probably be really cool for her.

Hi John,If the Philippines is one of the countries that is listed as having connections to their networks, it will work unless you are in areas with no cell phone coverage. Yes, you will be able to receive her text messages. All incoming text messages will be free. If you have the phone with the onesimcard and you are sending a text message, then there will be a charge, but it's still very economical.

Hello, I checked my manual regarding phone alerts when text messages are received and I didn't find anything on the subject, I only found alerts for voice mail and link-to-cell capabilities. The phone may have text alert though so perhaps another buyer could assist you further. I'm sorry for any inconvenience on my behalf. Karyn

Yes. It has Google play so you can choose from a variety of apps and you'll also receive an email each week letting you know what your child has been playing and for how long. Its a small device but its easier for small hands to use. Only problem I've had is short battery life
