Bought this for my 12yr. old daughter as her first phone. Did not want to spend too much. Good way to test her responsibility. Phone does everything kids want. Great value easy to operate.

totally love this phone, I'm using it as an emergency phone, bought it on sale for total of $26.12. Also make daily use of other simple functions (notes for grocery list, calculator, alarm, timer, etc) instead of my Iphone 6s Plus and since it's a secondary phone use only for family members, it's on 24/7 and not worried about being lost, drop, wear & tear....most of all no annual contract, have AT&T plan with 10 cents per minute & 20 cents per text and I hardly use it ...again it's a PERFECT emergency phone

I purchased this phone to replace its predecessor which I accidentally broke. This phone is superior in every way. The old phone would sometimes freeze forcing me to restart it, and it was always really slow loading my email messages and surfing the net. This one does everything lightning fast. Voice clarity is also much better. Highly recommended if you're looking for a great smart phone on the cheap!

I purchased this phone because we were out of town and someone dropped my phone and cracked the screen. After using it a few days, the slide to answer feature got stuck. So started using my earpiece which has a lot of static with this phone. Can't wait to get my phone repaired! My 11 yr old nephew received it as a b-day gift.. Let's see how he likes it!

This phone will not clear the number of messages after you remove them. It also will not end a call when you are through and it dials unexpectedly when you are scrolling through contacts.

It is ok for the purpose it was bought for, they need to sell a case with the phone, there is no reason why you have to buy a case separate.

Always super fast, all touch screen. A lil learning curve to use in the settings of the phone because its a Chinese phone. Only gripe I have towards this phone is the system storage is to low and always need Cache cleaning, limits on downloading personal Apps. Too much bloatware already built into the Phone

My last phone died a quiet death just before the holidays. Because I had Geek Protection I just needed to switch out phones. However, my phone didn't exist anymore. This one was available and was even $20 cheaper than the dying phone. It is also a vast improvement. A better android system, clearer graphics, and more space. I am very happy with my new, better phone.

Instead of signing a new 2yr contract just insert your old sim into the new device. My dad had a flip phone and this was his replacement/upgrade. Really inexpensive and our rate plan stayed the same.
