    I buy this phone for my irresponsible teen who has lost several phones. This phone is inexpensive and has unlimited text and talk. I always keep an extra phone handy just in case she loses or breaks the phone. Only 4 star because it is not very sturdy,

    For safety and peace of mind, we purchased this phone for our 10 year old. She travels around with her friends, but we don't want her tied down to a device because of additional features. Simple to use, easy activation, and reloading minutes is a breeze.

    Purchased this as a temporary phone to use while my primary phone was out of service. Very basic by today's standards, but an economic choice that fulfilled a need at that particular time. I would use it again should a similar situation arise.

    Easy to use. My only complaint is the lack of a contact list for frequently called numbers. Can recommend for users who simply want a cheap portable phone. The cost is not the phone, but the telephone plan to which one must subscribe.

    I have bought other flip phones before and I am far from particular about them but this one is a little frustrating because it seems to need more pressure on the keys to register a push. So, it makes texting more difficult because I tap 3 times, for example, but it only registers two taps. I am constantly going back to fix errors. But, for 20 bucks, its a cheap alternative to a smart phone that you have to take a second mortgage to afford. :p

    I call. I leave VM. And I text. Perfect phone for me. A real bargain, loud and clear, easy to read and operate. Texting is slow due to no 'qwerty' keyboard. But this grandpop likes it!

    My phone carrier was cutting 2G service, so I needed a new flip phone. I'm not an iPhoner, I don't do all that tweetering, texting, blah blah on a phone - the screens are too small, so I use a tablet. I make and receive phone calls. This phone is perfect for that. The price was right, too.

    If you are as hard on phones as I am, this is the phone for you. It takes a beating that would have you crying over your cracked-screen Iphone and keeps right on working. And the good news is that if you do find a way to kill it, you can pop into BB, and replace it for $10 on sale and swap out the sim cards (thank you AT&T for keeping this convenience available). I bought two the last time they were on sale because I'm still not willing to pay extra for the same plan just because I own a smart phone. Can you hack a satellite with it or write your PhD dissertation on it, no. Will it make calls and send texts, yes. If that's all you need and you want a phone that fits in your pocket without feeling like you're carrying around two decks of playing cards, this is the phone for you.

    I bought this for a one-week vacation where only AT&T phones work. The phone worked perfectly - clear voice and certainly loud enough. Basic screen, but good enough to see photos. Well worth what I spent on it ($10, on sale).

    Lots of features, camera, video, alarms, text and you can even use for a phone.... and without a contract you can still place 911 calls, so good for emergences. $10 well spent.

    I bought this for a second (non-smart) phone on my account. The SIM card from the other phone fit so no activation was required. Phone works well and is relatively easy to use. Price was my primary consideration.

    My Moms old Samsung flip phone stopped charging. I brought her 2 different smart phones. She would not touch either one of them. So I brought her this flip phone & unlocked it so she can use it with T-mobile. Now she is a happy camper once again
