Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the Apple iPhone 5s's affordability, ease of use, and camera quality. Many appreciate its size and find the performance to be satisfactory for everyday use. However, some users express concerns regarding the limited memory and battery life. The smaller storage capacity is also a point of contention for some customers.

    Having an AT&T Account and not having a contract for several years. They actually give me a discount for not being on a contract. I wanted another Iphone to replace the trusty 4s. Well Best Buy has the Iphone 5s listed as a Gophone for a very impressive price. So I purchased the new 5s and took it to the local AT&T Lady and she activated it at no cost to me. SO AT&T and BEST BUY make a great Team for Me.

    This is my first smartphone. I have just had it for just a little over a month. So far I am very happy I chose this one. It was very easy to learn how to use. I use it mostly for phone calls and texting and it has been great for that.

    Bought this go phone to add onto my data plan. Sister iphone 5 broke and didn't want to shell out 700 for a new 6 or 7. Bought this one for 200 (i think?) to replace it and it works just as well as her 5.

    Got this on a deal and the phone works great. Snappy and responsive even for a 4 year old phone! Finger print sensor works well, a little slow compared to the phone so today, but accurate nonetheless.

    Got this phone for my parents, its a great phone for them to use. Instead of paying $640+ for iphone 7, this is a great phone for people who doesn't want to pay huge price for a latest iphone.

    My 13yr old been bugging for an iPhone and this one is a great deal. This is his 1st phone ever so if it gets lost or stolen it won't break the bank. This will show me how responsible he is and maybe I'll upgrade him at a much later time.

    Good phone. Easy to unlock for use on other networks due to AT&T's very reasonable unlocking policy.

    Upgraded from android to apple with this gophone for ATT. I did have to call ATT after switching the SIM card to unlock. Other than that, it is a nice phone and it is very easy to use.

    No More Daily Low battery Warning

    Very happy with this phone. 16gb means I can load all the apps I like to use. That was a real issue on my last 8gb pre-paid phone since most apps can't be moved to the microSD card. This phone is responsive and doesn't bog down when several apps are loaded. My favorite part is the battery, it really lasts a long time. After a full charge and two days of my normal use it's still at 40%! Typically with my other phones I always got a low battery warning at some point in my day. Finally, I can just leave my charger at home and carry a phone that lasts. The price is a bargain over the unlocked model and I've always been happy with Verizon's service.

    I bought this phone for my aunt. She isn't so happy with the bigger phone nowadays thus this worked perfect for her. This is a great buy for the price. I would recommend to everyone.

    Didn't intend of buying this phone because I had purchased the 7 plus. After a couple of days I was like meh. Don't need an expensive phone with camera tech that eventually will get better. So I went small and cheap. $194 cheap. Cheaper than the SE too. Easier to hold. Really don't play games or take selfies. And pics well the normal snap shot. So 16 is sufficient. If you update software you'll gain about a gig of space which is nice. Battery is ok. Just keep it on wifi and it should last longer.

    If you don't care if you have the most current version phone this can't be beat! We are not using it as a go phone either, it is part of our regular monthly plan.

    At the price of $270, I think this phone was a steal! The iPhone 5s new on box. - all the feature you will ever need.

    This replaced a damaged 5s and seems to be an identical phone as I would have purchased anywhere else. Inserted our sim card and all worked as expected.
