We bought this phone for my teenager who found herself in trouble. It works well, was easy for me to set up (just moved the sim card from her fancy iphone into this one), and now it takes hours to write texts (and no apps). She needs to be able to communicate for work and school - but this is helping us in teaching a lesson.

After being out of the flip phone crowd for several years, it was only until recently that we revisited it. The main reason we chose this flip phone was for the affordable price. We were able to activate it and have a month-to-month plan for it for as long as it took me to sell a vehicle. Yep, this is the only reason I bought this phone was to keep Craig's List (and others) creeps away from my personal phone number. Worked fine for calls, voicemails, and text messages. Just one tip: This is an AT&T phone, so those monthly minutes need to be set up with a credit card for as long as you need it, otherwise, you will have to purchase a new SIM card (about $5-$10 each) and have it reactivated. Additionally, you will be reassigned a new phone number each time this happens. Hope this helps.
