    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

    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.

    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.

    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!!

    Best one handed phone

    "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).

    This phone is a super portable powerhouse. The 2gb of RAM along with great battery life make this phone a perfect tool for staying connected on the go. My buddies laugh at me when I take the phone out because It is dwarfed by their phablets, but they are always amazed that this little guy can do just about anything theirs can. The small screen can cause issues if you enjoy showing others videos on you cell phone, but the all day battery makes up for any regrets. Additionally, apple’s LCD are still good, not great. The camera can shoot 4K and the phone will work for updates to come (2gb RAM + IOS = happy user). The headphone jack is still present and if you really like music, you know that Bluetooth sound cannot touch a 3.5 mm connection. Bottom line: great little pocket rocket that does everything iOS users need.

    iPhone SE

    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've had my iPhone SE for about 2 years and I'm very pleased with it's overall performance -- particularly the basic phone functions. There's none of the echo and fading in and out or chopping off the beginning of words as on most other wireless phones. The mobile data & wifi work great too, connecting instantly and without hanging or freezing. The setup was a breeze; my number was switched over within a few hours and all my contacts and photos survived intact. The build quality impresses, too; the phone feels very solid, yet it's lightweight & easy to use with one hand. I have no problem with the screen size

    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!!

    Probably the best smartphone bang for the buck

    For the average person this probably the best smartphone bang for your buck. It is smaller than other iPhones but the internals are strong and basically make like a 6s. It runs the same. I love technology but I couldn't stomach paying $800 for a phone that basically does the same thing with maybe a slightly better camera. With an iPhone you know what you get and you get it for a great price. with the SE. Very rarely do I wish I had a larger phone. I am happy with it and it works very well. If you are considering this and another iPhone go this route. No reason to pay twice as much for a phone that will only do 2% more.

    I'm used to a large phone and Android. Had an iPhone 4 in the distant past, wasn't wild about it....well phone broke and I needed something fast and cheap. This phone is fast, great camera, and reliable. IPhone almost equal to Android in my opinion (taha not...JK kinda) definitely worth the buy. IDK why I'm even here. I never leave reviews on products. So petty and useless. I'ma go file a formal complaint to some poor guys manager byyyyye

    As much as I tried to ignore the fact that it was time to get my daughter her first phone, I had to give in. My daughter is soon turning 13 and is now more involved in after school programs and now more than ever its become essential for me to keep a tab on her. Anyways, for the price I got this phone (150.00) taxes included; this was perfect, it still has life to it to go through a couple more OS updates and is as powerful as an iPhone 6s. My daughter is 12 so it just feels right in her hands given the size of the phone. GREAT BUY! and you can connect it to your AT&T plan instead of going to prepaid route.

    Bought this new iPhone SE for AT&T and my Cricket SIM works perfectly. I had an iPhone 7 Plus and it was just so huge. I switched to Android for a while and missed iMessage and FaceTime. This phone isn’t top specs, but perfect for me. Plus, $150 for a new iPhone is so great.

    iPhone quality at a lower price

    If you are curious about the iPhone and want to try one without breaking the bank, the SE is a good place to start. This phone replaced a 16GB iPhone 6 and I have been very happy with it. The phone is responsive, the camera takes good pictures, and I have had no problems with phone calls. Bluetooth has been a little squirrely with my Honda CR-V but otherwise works fine so that is likely due to the vehicle. If you can live with the smaller screen, this is a great phone. It also still has a headphone jack, unlike some of the newer models.
