No ID on incoming text messages

Love it, but haven't figured out how or why no I.D. on incoming text messages until after you 'view' and charge is deducted. Incoming calls have I.D., but why should we have to have a charge first if don't wish to accept incoming message? Is there a feature to set for identifying incoming text messages before accepting?

Hi Sue,

Yeah, this is a general complaint about Tracfone and not limited to the EX124g. One of the previous handsets (the LG 420g I believe) had a hack where you could see the message details on the external screen of the flip phone (the whole message sometimes). On this new touchscreen, however, I haven't found a way to see who has sent the SMS without using the 0.3 minutes of airtime to view it.

No threaded text messaging

I was just wondering if the Motorola EX124g phone is able to get threaded text messaging? Its really hard to keep looking back to see what was the last thing the person said. If there is any way I may be able to change the setting that would be great.

Hi Maura,

I don't think there's threaded texting on this phone. I've tried fiddling with the settings and haven't found anything there.
