    When I purchased this phone I started to have problems with it. It was slow and it has no memory.

    I don't like this phone at all. For one thing the off and on button is on the back. The volume button is on the back. I don't like the message part of it either, it wants to put a period after the every word I type.

    Took it to boost to activate it with same number that we already have n they called headquarters n we were told it wasn't actually a boost phone. So it is still sitting in the box not activated bc we don't know whose phone it is to make the prepaid payment to.

    This phone did not last a week. I bought it for my daughter and error messages kept popping up about internal server errors, etc. Brought it back to exchange for another one and the same thing happened with the replacement. Do not waste your money.

    The phone does have a nice premium feel to it. The design is nice and sleek. The screen is nice and vibrant. The phone is fast and responsive, with little to no lag. There is very little bloatware pre-installed on the phone. Great phone for the price I paid.

    This phone works better than expected. It is easy go use. Call. quality and and ringer is good. Easy to set up. It streams videos well. Battery lasts all day. I cannot find anything about the phone to complain about considering the price I paid for it. It is a typical LG phone functions well, so far dependable.

    Great Boost No Contract Phone by LG

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

    The Tribute 5 has worked flawlessly so far. The processor speed for me is plenty fast and accessing the power/volume button on the back of the phone is nice touch and user friendly. You wont be disappointed unless you just have to have the newest, latest and greatest no contract phone. I just wish that Best Buy sold cases for it, I only found 1 on their website so I looked elsewhere to purchase one.

    I dropped my old phone in the toilet - it was a ZTE speed. That phone was awful - this one, much better. Night and Day comparison here. By better, I mean more responsive/faster. This is my first review of anything - was so pleased with the results (comparatively speaking) that I had to let it be known. I got mine for 19.99 a few weeks ago - I don't think it's worth 50 but somewhere between 25-40 is the sweet spot.

    $20 a smartphone, what you want? i got a few of them as gift to some young kids and senior. they all love with it!! also boost mobile offer unlimited monthly plan as low as $30. but now the price went up again to $50. hope it could get the price back down to $20,, so many people can give it a try without spending that much of money!!

    This is a good phone with all the basic functions included. The big plus with this phone is the 5 inch screen. It is big with bright and sharp colors. Other than this feature, it has all the other basic functions of other phones.
