The Samsung Alias cellphone has the ability to send and receive text, picture and video messages if you have a messaging plan through your cellphone provider. Some providers allow you to send and receive messages for a per-message fee, even if you do not have a texting plan, so it is important to check with your provider to discuss applicable plans, fees and charges before using your Alias for texting.

Word mode will recognize that "cat" is a common word with that number combination and will offer the word "cat" as an option for your message.
Voice mode allows you to press and hold the speaker key to speak your text message. The phone will automatically transcribe your words to text. Double-check text messages entered in this mode for accuracy.
