    For less than $200 you get an iPhone that runs the latest version of iOS and includes the TouchID fingerprint reader. Memory is limited if you plan to install large apps or take a lot of pictures, but using the iCloud Photo Library solves much of that problem. Also note that AT&T provides an easy way to unlock the phone after 6 months of prepaid service.

    At first when I saw AT&T was offering the 5S as a prepaid phone I was afraid they'd be manufacturer refurbished because of the age of the 5S, but I was pleasantly surprised when I checked the serial number with Apple and found it was only two months old! I like small phones and this is ideal when you can't carry a 6" behemoth!

    Really like what they did with this model as opposed to the original iPhone 5. I have a small business that requires multiple lines and these phones have come in very handy to say the least. The price is just right for an iPhone and the overall quality with sound and functionally is what you’d expect from apple.

    This is a really great deal for a brand new IPhone 5S. It comes with $45 worth of airtime with A.T. & T go phone plans. I have since purchased another one for a gift. You won't find a better deal around.

    I always but phones that are a year or two out of date b.c they are cheaper, and still work on the newest network. So I only spent 200$ and can still access 4g, well worth the money.. and I can still use this phone on a month by month pay basis for my bill. I use it as a go phone. And highly recommend it!

    I bought it when it was on sale so I can't beat that (170 including 45 airtime). But if don't care about activating the new service (replacing device with your existing number), order it online, but you need to keep the receipt because At&T will bock service temporary until you show them this receipt.

    I love this phone. This is a pre paid phone go phone for AT&T, which keeps your monthly payment in a budget, and is an iphone with all the functionality of it. More and more there are places with free wifi so in very rare occasions you really need Cell. Perfect for kids.

    I was skeptical on buying an iphone that is more than 2 generations old. However this iphone 5s is upgradable to the latest ios 10.x and has fingerprint feature which was most important to me. You wont be disappointed if you dont mind the 4 inch screen. Phone is fast.

    Was excited about replacing my Android for an iOS and the price was just right to make the switch. The phone is great and I would buy another if needed. Best Buy shipped quickly and I was happy with that, however, they did not scan the phone to show that it was purchased. This caused AT&T to treat the phone as stolen during activation and my account was locked for about 32 hours. It was resolved on my end by scanning/faxing the proof of purchase to AT&T and they then took their time to review. When I called Best Buy to inform them, they stated they would ship out another phone without issue, but it would have taken about two days to receive. Two days without a phone is difficult in this day and age. The mistake on their end causing me to be without a phone for almost two days, by not marking the phone as purchased, wrecked what would have been a perfect transaction.
