This was a substitute for an mp3 player. the fact that you can download apps is a huge bonus. as far as the quality it was ok. not a flagship in any way but it is also a fraction of the cost.

I needed a cheap replacement phone and this phone fit the bill. Runs basic apps like instagram and facebook and won't break your bank.

I bought this phone for my 8 year old nephew and he loves it. It can perform all the tasks that more expensive phones do for a fraction of the price.

This is the phone that myself and all family members have on standby. Even tho it wasn't the absolute best phone on the market, I could always find one for $25 or less.

I paid $10 for this phone during (and again afterwards for a second phone) on BF. I subsequently got it unlocked by AT&T (thumbs up to ATT for making it easy) and could use it on a different GSM network. The phone looks and feels much nicer than a $10 phone. Set up, including changing the SIM, was a breeze. Performance was also good/fast before installing additional apps. Overall, a great value for money.

Great phone for children! Or for anyone looking for a cheap phone. $26 a month for talk and text? That’s great for my bank! Connects to WiFi, so even better.

I bought this At&t Gophone - Alcatel Ideal 4g Lte With 8gb Memory Prepaid Cell Phone - Slate Blue to give as a gift to one of my cousins. She enjoy simplicity and speed with Alcatel's Ideal cell phone for AT&T. It fits neatly in almost any pocket and has a 4.5-inch display for easy one-handed use. Alcatel's Ideal phone from AT&T comes with 4G of memory and uses Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity to keep connections active no matter what. She uses as a regular phone and is been working well for her so far.

The phone is very slow in running apps. But if you use it mostly for calls and text, great buy for such a cheap price.

I purchased online, pickup in store, good phone for the money I paid. Able to unlock it directly from AT&T, so I can use it on Tmobile. The touch screen is a bit unstable, sometimes sensitive, sometimes not. NO LED flash for the camera. very limited storage for the phone, less than 4GB after all other APP come with the phone. I would recommend to friends if the price remain low.

So this isn’t an iPhone. Duh. Just keep that in mind. It’s a good phone and does what you need it to do but don’t expect all the bells and whistles of a regular phone. It’s a prepaid.

Build quality is poor, screen is poor, the speed of the phone is ok. I'd suggest paying $10 more for an LG budget phone. This phone does not offer a flash, the screen has a very rough not glossy feeling. Plastic body feels cheap and overall, I would not pay anything more than $10 for this phone.
