How does it not answer your question? It looks to me as if it does.

Are you talking about open chat or just text chat? I believe you can keep text chat after your subscription expires. If you are not an adult then your parents must change the settings and validate their date of birth. Open chat, I believe, goes back to regular text chat after your subscription expires.

Once text chat and open chat are established on an account they stay on it forever. Text change will change to open chat once open is enabled.

For text chat you must be 13+ yrs. For those under 13 yrs, your parents must establish parental controls and buy $10 worth of crowns to be able to get it. I did that for my son when he was not yet 13 yrs.

For open chat, you must be 18+, have a valid credit card on file and purchase crowns, a one month sub, 6 month sub or yearly sub here on wizard101.com. Once you have open chat you keep it. Please see this post from Merle Ambrose for the details. https://www.wizard101.com/posts/list/30290.ftl

Gift cards and gift subs come with text chat. Their use does not effect people who currently have open chat.

That's correct and there's a good reason for that.
Text Chat for players with under age 13 accounts can only be turned on by a parent/guardian over age 18. The parent/guardian must validate his/her age by buying a Membership or Crowns with a valid credit card.

If you want the prize, you have to build the ladder rung by rung. There are no shortcuts.
