yes, I needed to purchase a new sim card from AT&T; for $25.00. My husband loves the phone.

The snapfone is an "unlocked, quad-band, GSM" phone. It's compatible AT&T;, T-Mobile, and most carriers outside the US. It is capable of sending and receiving text messages but has only a standard telephone numeric keypad and not the full keyboard that heavy text users prefer. IMHO, it would be a very nice gift for your mother in law.

Yes Audrey... you can put a SIM card in this phone and it will work with AT&T. We have AT&T mobility service and that is just what we did with three phones in our home. No complaints from my husband and son regarding this phone; I however have a Samsung Flight, no complaints on this phone either.

I'm a at&t; user. The only problem that I encounter is I can't send or receive mms. But I think you can go to your provider then fix those kind of problem.

I do not have an AT&T; phone. I went to AT&T; store and bought a SIM card for $9.99 for 1000 texts. It is text only. or 19.99 for unlimited text. It is working without any problems.

Yes. I have TMobile I used it for a while, but the application are all in AT&T; and youcan't receive picture messages. I would not buy it unless all you are going to do is text. I went back to a TMobile phone.

The phone is not unlocked. Unlocked phones will work on any cell network: Sprint, Verizon, AT&T. It is however contract free meaning if you have a current at&t contract this phone will work with your at&t sim card. If you are downgrading from a smart phone that has a smaller sim you will need to go into the AT&T store to get the standard SIM to fit the phone. Fear not of alerting at&t, this is not an unusual occurrence as sim cards typically wear out over time and most at&ts will replace without charge. Regarding the internet - if your current plan has a data package the phone will be able to connect to the mobile web browser using 3G or the fastest AT&T data connection available in your area. You do however have to pay an additional fee to download apps for GPS, email, advanced voicemail etc in addition you are only able to purchase them through the AT&T app store which has a relativity small selection and in my opinion largely over priced. Hope this answers your questions. All in all a solid AT&T phone in terms of call quality and signal

I've actually heard of ppl doing that. I know that you'll be able to text and make calls but the data won't work unless you manually configure the phone settings. I've never done it so it might be a pain. I'm not exactly the nerd tech type but here's a link that may helphttp://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc

No it's not fully compatible with AT&T.; that's why I had to return it. I only could use it for the basic like calls and text and not internet. That's been over an year ago tho so who knows. Not sure about Tmobile.

This device works for me with T-mobile in the US, however MMS messages are a bit funky. I'm unsure if this is a phone limitation, or T-Mobile. Everything else works great.

The phone I received today is a Verizon phone. I tried to put it on Red Pocket, a prepaid service that runs on the AT&T; network. I am able to send and receive phone calls, but no mms messages. The app that worked on my previous AT&T; HTC 8x will not work on the Verizon phone. I'm not even sure this phone is unlocked.

My parents had AT&T; and we switched the SIM card with no issues. It's lightweight very basic good for my senior parents. They have been happy with it. I called their provider to see if it was compatible before we bought, I had to give them the phone info to check. You could probably call your phone company to verify. Hope that helps :)

My mother-in-law already had service with AT&T;, so she had an old phone with an AT&T; sim card. We simply place the old phones's sim card into the new Emporia Essence Plus phone, turned it on, and it worked on the AT&T; network. Hope this helps.

Yes it will work on Att but do not buy this as it does not have alot internal memory. So if you add a couple of emails the phone will lock up on you. I was very excited because I wanted a android blackberry style but this was a let down.

If AT&T is your provider, just insert you SIM card and all AT&T network functions will immediately work as they should. You won't even have to visit the local AT&T store for activation. The phones that are advertised as "compatible" or "unlocked" will not. They must specifically state that the phone is programmed for the AT&T network as this one does. I bought two phones from this seller in the past year and both are still working fine and have been totally problem free. Even my elderly mother hasn't been able to mess her's up as she did with it's three predecessors (ha! ha!).

I am using it on ST no problem. You will need to download a profile from ST one of thier reps will give you the url to download it. Everything works except multimedia messages--an at&t; feature

Yes as long as it is an AT&T; plan and chip you'll be fine and as long as it's a micro SIM card meaning the smaller chips it will work!

Dear Customer, Thanks for your interest in our items. Yes, this is an unlocked phone compatible with At&t. NOTE: Unlocked phones are not yet programmed for any network. In order to access the internet and use multimedia messages, you will need to program the phone according to your carrier. We have instructions for AT&T and T-Mobile (USA only). We look forward to have you as a customer. Thanks, Gus
