    AT&T Prepaid - AT&T Prepaid Apple iPhone SE 4G LTE with 32GB Memory Prepaid Cell Phone - Space Gray. I give it 5 Stars. I've used it daily for the past 1 year & 9 months. I very highly recommend the Otter Box that has been on the phone since it was new. I feel like I have dropped my phone a million times even on concrete driveway and the Otter Box has taken a licking and keeps on protecting my iPhone SE 4G LTE. it has never been in a repair shop and I love it for daily use sending text messages and taking and sharing photos. I did not go wrong buying this phone, I will probably keep it until it quits. I use it daily. it has been a great phone for me for the past one year and nine months with no complaints

    The iPhone 6 is $100.00 more, has a 8MP camera, instead of the 12MP this phone has, and has an A8 chip coprocessor, instead of the SE having the A9 chip coprocessor. This phone has almost the exact same options as the iPhone 6s (same camera and chip coprocessor). It's way faster than an iPhone 5, or 5s, by a major difference. Cool thing now is you get 32GB of storage for the price of the 16GB version! Another great point.... If you loved the size of the 5, and the 5s..... You're gonna definitely love this phone even more! The battery even lasts longer! The iPhone 6 isn't enough "bang for the buck", however on a different note: AT&T go phone prepaid service just got better! Rollover data! How can you beat that? Love it!!

    I purchased this iPhone for my 13 year old daughter. She loves the size because it fits into her pocket and I love the price. Do not it’s small size scare you- it is faster than her sisters iPhone 6 and takes better pictures.

    Iphone 5 SE as a Spare!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This phone is the size of choice for my teens, as it slides into jeans' pockets easily. I bought this here at BestBuy for $135, and having had a teen recently land on her phone in her back pocket, (which she paid to repair), I bought this as a future spare. Nearly as cheap as repairing a screen! This is locked to ATT, and we use Cricket, so pop in your old sim, and you're good to go. This is a step above the Iphone 6, processor wise. Great deal!!

    BEST CELLPHONE OF ALL TIME

    This should be the FLAGSHIP of the APPLE PRODUCTS. The overall design is FLAWLESS. Its size should be what a TYPICAL CELLPHONE should have, EASY to fit in your FRONT POCKET, SIDE POCKET, or BACK POCKET. Its usability is mindboggling !!. A 4 G SPEED, HI DEFN CAMERA AND VIDEO . Also the COST is AFFORDEDABLE to EACH and EVERYONE. Surprising that APPLE instead of focussing on having the iPHONE within everyone's reach instead choose to continue selling EXPENSIVE and HIGHLY PRICED iPHONES , that has become unaafordable to the LOWER MIDDLE CLASS and MIDDLE CLASS FAMILIES.

    I purchased this phone for my mother. She had an old flip phone and wanted an upgrade. The size is just perfect and accessories are plenty for this device. I recommend a screen protector and slim case. The service is great on AT&T and the hardware on this phone make it a mini iPhone 6S (Live Photos/ camera quality/ A9 processor)

    I wanted a smaller, more pocketable phone, and the iPhone SE fits the bill! I am a Cricket customer, and since they no longer carry this model, they recommended I buy an AT&T prepaid from Best Buy, since they are affiliated with AT&T, and my SIM would work just fine. Everything did work just fine, and the phone was a bargain at $150.

    I purchased this phone for as a interim phone while I make a decision on which phone to buy next. It has and continues to work great and above my expectations. I forgot how good and secure feeling it is to hold a phone that actually fits in your hands! I may even consider not getting a new phone!

    I bought this to have a smaller iPhone available to use and the performance is great. Sure it's a small phone but that's the point. It has all that you are looking for in a smart phone in a pocket size. I highly recommend it, currently, check my review date. It will probably hold up for at least a few years before any slow down. If you're not into the bulky phones, or just want a smaller back up for a trip, this is a great choice.

    I bought the iPhone SE as a temporary phone after my iPhone 6s died and I wanted to wait for the next iPhone to be released. I have to say that I was very impressed with the iPhone SE, it packed all the hardware from the iPhone 6s in the small form factor of the iPhone 5S. It's a great combination that allowed me to use all the features form the latest iOS in an inexpensive phone. It was a great buy!

    I had an iPhone 6s on its last legs. I've always used iPhones but flirted with going with an Android, trying out the Moto E (4th Gen), which is a good value -- but me and my family are too wrapped up in the Apple ecosystem for that to really work. Then I saw this deal and I'm very happy with the SE. I know the trend is towards bigger screens, but I want something compact. The performance is very snappy. I was previously on T-Mobile prepaid and ported my number to AT&T. The monthly cost is actually less and I get better coverage. I was going to go with an MVNO like H2O, but for now I'd rather stick with AT&T -- the cost is comparable, and I tend to connect to WiFi whenever possible so I don't use a lot of cellular data. If you don't need a big screen, I highly recommend this phone.

    The phones flawless and all I hoped it would be it’s been awhile since I had an I phone and I’ve always felt a little more secure with the apple line of products and have never been able to get comfortable with android products Thanks to the low price Best Buy made a bailable this holiday season I got to get back to a product I know and love ...

    The iPhone SE is a great smartphone and served as an upgrade from an aging iPhone 5s. The device works well and has most of the latest features including an improved camera and Apple Pay. Can't beat the price for an iPhone!

    "Upgraded" from iPhone 7. Needed modern phone that i could use one handed. Was worried that it would be sluggish or buggy but bought with confidence thanks to BB return policy. This thing is smooth and lag free. Best $150 I ever spent on a new phone. ( I am using it with ATT postpaid, no unlock required for ATT).

    My Kids love it I bought 2 iphone’s. They were coming from a regular iPhone 5 they noticed how quick the phone was compared to the 5 big upgrade for them and very affordable for my budget. Iphone 6S internals in a iphone 5 body great price and performance for a apple product.

    Great upgrade from iPhone 6

    I broke the screen on my iPhone 6 less than a year ago and had some guy at the mall replace it for $140. Less than a year later the S, Z, and emoji keys quit working out of the blue. You don't realize how many Ss are in normal conversation until every S turns into DA or AD or just A or just D. My AT&T next plan isn't up until next year so I thought I'd get a go phone to save some money and see if it would work, and I found the this SE is available as a go phone for $200. Easy decision, and one I don't regret. It's faster than my 6 was, and to be honest I like the form factor better. I can reach every corner of the screen with my thumb without having to adjust my grip. The only downside I can see is having to go from 64gb to 32, but after backing up a million photos with the google photo app and deleting them I'm in pretty good shape memory-wise. Long story short, if you're on a post-paid plan and your phone breaks, but you don't want to pay up and start a new next plan, grab a go phone and put your post paid sim card in it. I might not even upgrade when my next plan is up.
