We purchased this phone because our hunting camp in Georgia has limited cell service the only phone that comes in is Verizon . Our AT&T phones will not work. We were looking for an cheap way to stay in contact with family in Florida. A $15 card and the Basic phone you can't get much cheaper. If all you need to do is talk it is a good phone. Voices are clear. The menu is very difficult to work. Takes minutes to text 5 words. It takes terrible pictures. The pictures are so bad you can hardly tell what it's a picture of. No internet for that price. Great cheap phone to talk only.

I bought this for my mother who doesn't like to use a smart phone. She absolutely loves this phone because it's very easy to use.

Got this for my elderly father who after 10 years managed to kill off his old phone. Not wanting to deal with a contract phone at his age or try to explain why to him, as he is 87 years old, I found this phone. He now has unlimited talk--which is what you need for someone his age--and text messaging--not going to try to explain what that is to him--for less than half of what his old contract phone used to cost. Tie it to a debit card and voila; a phone that is easy to use, has the things he needs on it, and can be gotten rid of when...the time comes...

For those out there who are not interested in using a smart phone, or who have absolutely no idea how to use one, this one is for you! This phone offers Sapir your sound quality and basic connectivity for Bluetooth. The camera is not much to brag about, but it gets the job done. I would definitely recommend this phone if you have that person in your life who is not interested in a smart phone or who does not have the capability of using I've.

I bought this phone for my parents as just a simple phone for emergencies and have the Basic Talk plan from Verizon. I have my own out dated smart phone on a No Contract plan which costs me more than twice what I pay for the Verizon Pre-Paid program. I may just switch and purchase my own simple Verizon Pre-Paid Basic plan as this is a great phone as I am of the generation that doesn't need to be "Wired" in all the time.
