    my boyfriends iPhone stopped working and had to get a temporary phone until his upgrade in the next month. We found this phone and it seemed a reasonable price for just that purpose. The phone is a nice tech phone but does have problems with the screen not working and going out. This happened not even three days into the purchase. The phone has a good quality camera for the price but video watching is not at its best.

    The system is pretty slow that I can't stand it. And the lock-screen function is not good. So I always open some apps when I put it in my bag.

    The phone is fine if you just want a phone or to text but there is basically no memory. And you can't delete the pre installed apps to get any. I don't need 30 google apps. I just want mail, Facebook, and to take a few pictures and maybe a few other apps. But I run out of memory like every 5 days because it updates itself all he time. I bought an SD card for the pictures but that hasn't helped. I keep having to clear everything. Don't buy this phone if you want to take more than 20 pictures or have more than 4 apps. But wait, isn't that what a smart phone is supposed to do. :(

    The worst part of this phone is I hung up on almost everyone. My cheek would not only hang up on people, it deleted apps changed contacts, deleted contacts.. The list goes on and on.

    This is an inexpensive way to get your child a smart phone without paying astronomical prices. Although it's a GO phone I've added it to my existing cell phone plan for a more economical use of it. If you do this, Best Buy's Mobile dept. can set up a number and contact your provider so you leave the store with the phone ready to go!
