Okay if you need a cheap basic phone
It is an okay phone, but even for this price it is very cheaply made. Volume, power and camera buttons fall off or get stuck very soon which makes the phone pretty much unusable. Also Windows operating systems is very bad because barely anybody makes apps for it. Definitely never buying another Windows operating system phone again!
