is the Snapfon ezTWO Senior Cell Phone, compatible with most ATT phone plans and will my mother in law be able to send &amp; receive normal text messages?

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.

I got this phone for my mother. We just switched the sim card from her old cell into it and it works great. She has AT&T; contract on our family plan and it did not add any extra time to it

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.

I used to work with US Sprint and it is impossible to get photo texts if you do not wish to pay for data download. That being said this phone CAN recieve group texts and photos BUT if you do not have a data plan (not mandatory with this phone as it is not a smartphone) it will cost you to download (to send or receive). I do not know if group texts is considered data download as photos are. I would guess not but I might be wrong. regardless, I would say yes though you may have to pay extra. This is based on US networks I am not sure about international.

Most AT&T; prepaid (pay as you GO) plans are monthly, yes. You can also do the $2/day plan and you just have service as long as there is money on your account. But there is no contract.As far as the minecraft pocket edition, I don't have an answer for that one, but when I had the phone, it wasn't compatible with snap chat if that tells you anything. Hope this helps. :) happy shopping!

YES. It is a smart phone and one of Nokia's finest business phones. I've used the phone now for well over 3yrs and continue to be delighted at it ease and many functions. I have used it with and without a data plan depending on the carrier. My unlocked E6 is very compatible with AT&T; and T-Mobile. Please purchase through Amazon because they guarantee all their sales/products. I had a serious problem once when I purchased through Ebay. I hope this helps you. Take care & good luck. Joe P.

I have mine activated on Consumer Cellular, but I am having trouble getting texting to work on it. :(

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.

Ideally, the phone works best with AT&T.; The phone I ordered was locked, it wouldn't accept any SIM that I put in it. You should checkout the BLU Life View; that's what I got. It's sold through an American company, too.

We bought this phone for my 99 year old mother in law. The phone works great for her. The quality is very clear.

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.

is it prepaid? AT&T; T-Mobile...is the sim compatible. I have two and both accepted the prepaid sims with no problem. walmart straight talk wont work on an unlocked phone. and then you could have defective phone
