    My last phone had a cracked screen so I needed a phone to get me until I upgraded. Within 1 minute of starting the phone, it would reset itself every 5 minutes. Maybe I purchased a dud, but I returned it immediately. Best Buy was easy to work with and did not charge a restock fee.

    Purchased an unlocked phone for my grandson for Christmas only to transfer his iPhone to the new one and find out that the phone is still attached to AT&T. My grandson is in tears on Christmas because the phone he wanted is useless. Apparently no longer returnable.

    Was looking for a replacement phone for my father-in-law. This looked like a good option, so I purchased it As soon as I opened it up, disaster. It’s like nobody inspected this phone. The power button was stuck and the volume key was sticky.

    The phone did not work as expected. The volume was too low on the earpiece even at the highest volume setting. I had to pay $45 fee to return a defective product.
