Don't know how it works on the different phones....some are able to use programs...other's not......it your phone doesn't allow the adobe flash to be downloaded to it....then you probably can't chat through your phone.

I definitely know the dead laptop situation.....mine died several years ago. Luckily I had a desk top that needed fixing....but it was still a computer....good enough for me.

I love techno.....but can't afford those fancy android phones that I'm wanting & can't afford the monthly payments for the services that give the phones free......so I sit here with my antique phone that I won't even go on the internet with. It's so old, it's dying.....but until it dies & I HAVE to get a new one.....I bide my time
