I am looking for Basic phone with sliding QWERTY keyboard, that will text and send pictures without a data plan.

I am now on disability and can't continue with the high cost of data plans.

I was using my Droid 4 but without Data turned on it will text but will not send pictures.

My daughter is sending me an LG-505c so I am hoping that will work but I would still like to get my calender on the phone also.

anyway I need ideas on what phones will work.

The LG ENV3 will work without a data plan, as will several of the older "multimedia" phones and basic phones.  My husband is still using an LG VX 5400; my mom uses an LG VX 5200 and both send and receive picture messages (though they are small).  Samsung Sway, Alias, LG Voyager, EnvTouch - all of these work without a data plan, and will send and receive texts.

Thank You,  I think I am aiming toward the LG enV Touch VX11000

So far it sounds good.
