Does this phone allow conversation-style texting (where messages are grouped by recipient), rather than inbox-style (where messages are all separate)?

I don't believe it has this style of texting. You can save the messages after opening them in up to 10 message files you can rename.

It might, but, if so, I don't know how to accomplish that. All my texting on this phone is inbox style. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Yes this phone can text. Either by the old "three tap" method on the keypad or it does have an interperetive text feature that is not perfect but does help make it easier.

No, but there are GREAT features on the phone...I had mine 7 months and feel like a complete idiot. If you are going to send a text down to the left of the space bar there is a microphone icon...press it and wait for a few seconds until it tells you to record and you can talk all of the texts instead of handy typing it out. You just have to check it because sometimes it messes up words or says something slightly different than what you said!

I have never sent a text message. However, the menu has an option for something called sms. Under that option is a selection for new message.

You can use it as talk and text, but it also has optional data features ( never tried the data features though).

Yes - You receive them like MMS messages. You have to have data turned on in the phone settings.

No. I 've had tracfone for many many many years and it used to be that you could use minutes to for texts. Now Data is separate but I believe you can still use minutes for texts.

I have sent group texts to people with i-phones and I have received them from people with i phones

To me this phone was designed for texting, especially since it has a flip screen with different keyboards. If I were you I would look into a basic phone.

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

All incoming messages are captioned, so if someone calls and you are not home the message they leave is captioned.Any welcoming or outgoing messaes are not captioned.I hope this helps.

Yes, I have had this problem. Whenever I get it, I just ask the sender to shorten the message. It isn't often a problem though. I have had two of these phones. The only problem I've had was only with the SECOND phone. The keys made an annoying clicking sound, making a discreet text impossible. I didn't have this problem with the first phone though, which I found odd. Both phones were purchased new. I would make sure the keys are guaranteed not to click before I purchased another one.

Yes, there is a visible alert that there are new messages. As soon as you pick up a phone it tells you to play new message. As you are listening to the messages it tells you from whom and when the call was received. I have to tell you that I have had this phone system in my home for quite a while now and love it. I was so impressed with it that I bought a system for both of my children that live in other states and we have very long, very clear conversations on them. I would recommend these phones to anyone looking for just an easy to use phone that is clear and convenient.

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.

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.

I honestly do not know; I have never bothered with that aspect of the phone. I use it to call specific people and businesses and text occasionally.

Belated answer (correction to below): NO, the phone does not have threaded texting. This is my great annoyance with the phone, which I am otherwise quite happy with.
