    This is a replacement phone, I really like the iphone, Androids always require me to shut them off to reset before the work, they get stuck and do not respond. I do not have this issue with the iphone

    The phone was free at Best Buy and I got Verizon customer service to remove half the activation fee. It was such an improvement over my supposedly advanced phone that I'm feeling like I have joined this century. Bus schedules, finding places, emailing, checking on the markets, etc. saves me time since I can do iut while on public transportation. I am just thrilled and got the armour body case and a clear cover so the phone should stay safe for years. Great buy.

    After hanging in with a feature phone for years, a Best Buy special deal finally pushed me into getting an iphone - albeit a 4s - and enter the smartphone world. After watching people walking through life hunched over their phones, I really was putting it off as long as I could. Now that I have it, I I do like it and so far haven't really seen anything wrong with it. Like most Apple products, it's been easy to use. No complaints so far!

    This is my first smart phone and I really like it. It was easy for me to use. Its taking me awhile to learn to use the keyboard. The camera is good pictures and easy to use. The battery life is short and the screen is sensitive-breaks easily.

    I felt like I was out of the loop with my old flip phone, but it got my phone calls through. Got this Iphone 4S at a special price and it had all the features I thought I needed i.e. siri, texting, camera, messaging and the basic phone tools. I'm not an expert at it yet, but Apple sent an email with complete instructions, and I'm learning each feature as I need it. I love it

    Bought two 4S. One each for teenager and preteen. Keeps family in touch and calendars all in sync. Other than no 4g, no complaints. Could not beat the price ($0.00 for both)and easy pick up at Bestbuy. Have not heard any complaints from the kids. They are happy to have a smartphone!

    Overall the phone is great I am actually doing this whole review using it right now. It is a great first time buyer smartphone an whee I am wasn't looking for the newest iPhone this works perfectly and is affordable. The only real trouble I have is with the apple keyboard which is just very inaccurate when it comes to grammar correction.

    Our son's phone was damaged. Insurance deductible was $200, so when we found this replacement for much less we jumped at the chance. The phone works great and the price was even better. Very much recommend this option even with carrying insurance on the phone!

    Purchased replacement phone for wife. She loves it. Uses as primary phone and occasional quick photo. She reads and responds to emails while traveling. Battery lasts the day but no longer. Overall, great purchase. Received good advice from Best Buy staff on most appropriate model to purchase.

    Had to find a good replacement 3G phone for my wife so I didn't need to renew or upgrade our contract and lose my unlimited data. 3G options are slim pickings. Our first apple product, it's an upgrade for her but I'm not a big fan. As long as she's happy with it.

    This was my first smart phone and it amazed me as to its many uses. There were some issues with inputting phone numbers into contacts but I think they have been resolved with the many upgrades that have become available. I wonder how I managed before without it! The size is fine, although it could be slimmer, but I wouldn't want to compromise the screen size. The camera is great and easy to use unless you are in direct sunlight outside. Battery life is ok but I'm still learning how to adjust settings to prolong life. Love the Do Not Disturb feature, you can still get calls from people you add to your favorites. Overall, I am very pleased with this amazing phone/mini-computer.

    I have trouble entering on touch screen or keypad because my hands shake so I have had difficulty texting etc. Being able to use Siri has made my phone experience much more pleasant
