    It works! Finally upgraded from my old by-the-minute traditional phone after weeks of comparison shopping. The improvement is awesome, and for a lower cost as well. The choice was simplified after choosing a non contract provider, which greatly reduced the available choices. Long battery life and excellent sound quality were two big concerns, which this model has. Furthermore, batteries have a finite life, so a replaceable battery was also important and further narrowed the choices to two, both Samsung. This model was well under $100,making it well worth trying. It works far better than I expected. Want a better camera and more memory with a faster processor, go with the more expensive model for an extra $100. Otherwise this appears to be one of the better phone values today.

    Upgraded from LG Tribute 2. This phone has a lot more memory. So far I like some of it's features; such as: a close all app option and a larger screen size. To my dismay, there is NOT a notification warning light when a call or message is waiting for retrieval
