Was a $400+ phone in 2014
This phone has very similar specks to the galaxy note 2 or a galaxy mega. Saying that you cant get those phones used for this price. 2 years ago this was the top of the line phone. It is still very usable phone in 2016. The phone is very adequate but exceptional for the price. I have used the phone for 3 days now. Coming from a note 5 that died on me, this phone was much better then expected. For the price this phone cannot be beat. The camera is decent, the screen has some pixilation, but im spoiled and used to 1080p on amoloed screen. If you don't want to spend hundreds of dollars or get stuck in a contract financing a Samsung or apple phone this is really a good deal. Im not sure how well this phone will last since it is my first expierence with alcatel, but best buy does sell a replacement plan for only $15 dollars for 1 year if anything were to happen to your phone. In conclusion this phone cannot be beat at the price point.

Great for Kids using WiFi
Do you really need a phone for kids? This is a great mini computer for my teens. They get wifi everywhere I never even put in the sim cards. The device easily hooked up to wifi and the kids can use any app they like with friends perfectly. Free calls through Facebook, etc. The camera and memory are wonderful for the price this is a deal. If it lasts a year it's worth it. Highly recommend!
