Worst phone ever
Do not buy. Even the cheapest LG or Samsung phone is better than this one. Phone lacks of memory and the screen freezes millions of times. Just do yourself a favor and pay $30-$50 more and buy a Samsung.

Good deal
It is a good phone, not very fancy, but for someone that uses the phone on basic stuff is more that enough
This review is from BLU - Grand Max with 8GB Memory Cell Phone (Unlocked) - Rose Gold

Works ok until built-in Malware takes hold
I've had this phone for a little over two years and at first it was decent. I needed a phone for basic communication and emergencies, but nothing heavy. The phone was fine for that although I think its antenna is weak as my wife's ancient flip phone gets much better coverage (we're on different networks but still). The real issue with this phone is after 6 months or so full screen ads would pop up every time the phone was awakened from sleep. This was not a virus I`d picked up but actually built into the firmware. This information can be found on various forums out there. A factory reset stopped the problem but after a while it started again. Lather, rinse, repeat. Then most recently it began to redirect to various websites whenever awakened from sleep, but also whenever any app was activated. Made using the phone super frustrating. So I backed up my data and tried another factory reset. This time it will not cycle through the software update as the zip file is incorrect. It's bricked for all intents and purposes so I've ordered a new phone from a more reputable brand. Unless you enjoy headaches or like figuring out workarounds to these company-added Malware/spyware issues I recommend avoiding this phone/brand.
