Why isn't text messaging working on a new phone? ZTE Force 4g LTE

[Caleb Day]

Hi, I've just bought a ZTE Force phone. I sent one text message on the day it arrived. But since then, whenever I try to text, I get the following error message: "Please insert an SD card to use all features of the app." Do I need to buy an SD card just to text? That seems ridiculous and a massive technological regression. Does anyone know how I can get texting to work without buying an SD card? (My phone's hard drive currently has 1.7GB of 2.4GB free space, so I don't think it can be because I've run out of space on the phone).

If anyone has any advice or info, I'd appreciate hearing it.

Thanks,
- Caleb

Welcome to the forums. I would try a different texting app. There are many out there for free, including Textra, and Google's Messenger.

Thanks a lot Golfdriver97. I tried Textra, but I got an error 2120. Googling that error code seems to indicate that Freedom Pop doesn't work with other texting apps. So I guess I'll have to ring them up and ask how to get their texting app to work.

Cheers,
