Does it take minutes to text?

It depends if you have a plan or not. If you have a plan where you pay a set amount monthly, then, most of the time, comes with unlimited texting. If not, then it costs money. For example, I don't have a plan, and it costs me 10 cents a text. If you plan on texting a lot, then I suggest getting a plan, but if you're like me and don't text a lot, then just paying per text is a much cheaper way to go. Plans can cost anywhere from $10 to $99-the more expensive, the more benefits you're likely to get.
