    I brought this on a sale price and no regrets. The phone is worth as a startup smart phone.

    The sale price was excellent. I submitted an unlock request, and AT&T sent me the unlock code! It seems the unlock request does not work anymore for go phones.

    Seems to work well enough for my in-law to operate it without throwing it across the room. She's happy with it and can text and take pictures so she's happy.

    I got this phone for my 8th grade son. he kept dropping and breaking the expensive ones so we tried this one. So far it has held up well. he can still do all the things he needs like texting and calling and he is able to communicate with friends in social media. He also has a few games on it but the memory only allowed him to do a few..... but that's fine for what he needs. it has worked well.

    It's a bare bones smart phone. While it only had 8gig of storage I have to add an ad card to make it functional. The OS takes up over 4gig so an additional sd card is essential. The 5meg camera is fine. Opening email can be slow if it's an ad or something with lot's of pictures. But hey, the phone was 20 bucks. It functions, it was cheap and that's what I wanted.

    The phone works fine. The only problems are the display color is a little washed out; and the camera is only fixed-focus (the spec is wrong by saying "auto-focus"). It is not possible to set the focus by touching screen or any other way. This is a problem if you want to take clear pictures of documents such as checks or receipts. Other pictures are ok.

    We purchased this phone for our 9 year old daughter. We knew it wasn’t a long term item, but it withstood plenty of drops and lots of usage. Quality of graphics and slow processing didn’t meet our expectations but given what we purchased it for, it served its purpose.

    I got this as a back up phone for about $10, I can't complain, everything is working great, the size is good and is comfortable to hold on one hand to text, enough storage for apps and I haven't noticed annoying lags like other cheaper phones would. I love it!
