I love it but this phone has some real strange quirks.....don't know if the phone of the AT&T go phone service....think it's the phone software though because there are times when it won't ACK a text message & I get like 30 of the same message sent to my phone (that is my software problem in the communications area). It hangs a lot also.....& I managed to break the plug in to charge it so I had to buy an external battery charger. Now I have 3 batteries for the phone & keep them all charged so ready whenever the battery dies. Love it because I can have a smart phone for only $47.70/month where before I was paying over $70 for the dumb phone service.....the go phone set up works just as well with auto pay as going directly the way I was with AT&T before.....There is no other service that works at my farm than AT&T.......so I've been with them even before I moved here.

I don't have TV & I don't have a land line. My internet service is transmitted to my house from the nearest water tower & I use the wifi mostly for my phone so I can go with the cheapest possible service. I have an antenna on my fireplace that picks up the internet signal & then by wire it's taken up to my computer room......interesting life living in the country....but I'm glad they do have techie stuff available or I would have been LOST.
Cricket is only $35/month and it's also now on AT&T towers. Your SMS text problem, could be the app. Try to find it in the Application Manager and clear the cache and data, and see if that helps.
