    This phone is a ridiculously good deal. I bought this for 40 dollars. That's cheap - cheap for any android phone. Don't expect it to be a galaxy S-500 or whatever! It works well. The charging port is plagued with inconsistent connections like the previous ZTE phone I owned two of. I think this is a design weakness with ZTE. It is relatively slow loading the screens and the RAM fills up quick compared to 600 dollar phones of course. It's a 40 dollar phone and seriously awesome for that cheap price. Can't complain. It will do anything you need an android phone to do at a burner price and it has a very good camera. There's nothing to b***ch about with the phone at that price point. Like you get an Audi for Ford price - no.

    This is the second one we bought. The first one stopped working after taking a minor fall, and of course that was the one time we didn't purchase Geek Squad protection, but a few weeks later the phone went on sale and we bought another one to replace it. Overall, it's a good phone for the price.

    I purchased this as a gift for my kids. This phone freezes often and you just have to wait on it to reboot. There is no access to the battery so you can't remove it or reboot the phone. I don't recommend this. You get what you pay for.

    needed a cheap phone to replace the one I broke the night before vacation. This has served the purpose well. It freezes up periodically and texting on it can be a pain but it was cheap and is still working. Will keep it as an emergency backup when I get my new phone.

    Bought this for my teenage daughter it serves it's purpose even though she broke it within 14 days. Best buy was great with giving her a new phone even though she has broken that one already as well. You know kids don't appreciate anything they didn't pay for!

    If you can get this phone when it goes on sale, do so. Otherwise wait and save a bit more to get a better phone. My only complaint is that I lags sometimes, so I ended up swapping this phone for the Huawei Union. I still use the ZTE with the "Alfred" app and it works just fine.

    For the same price, you can get a much better designed phone. It performs worse than other phones that have even lower specs. One example of how badly designed this phone is: on other phones the Menu button gives you some useful settings. On this phone, the Menu button does ONLY 1 thing: blur the background wallpaper.

    AMAZING value for the money

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

    This phone, being a $40 phone at the time I purchased it, far exceeded my expectations, having spent hundreds of dollars on phones for my entire life. It has surprisingly good build quality, and it's fast for what it is. This is good at being a basic smart phone, but I would be very hesitant to install anything but the basic essentials on it. This is both because having much at all running in the background decreases performance drastically, and because having the same things running can quickly erode the limited data you get from boost. It's great for what I need it for; a cheap and basic second phone number.

    Worst Phone Ever

    Even for $40 this phone is a piece of junk, I would have to restart it 4-5 times daily just to get my text messages. Too little memory. Save your money and put it towards a better phone.

    Decent phone, gets the job done

    This isn't the most amazing phone in the world, but I knew that when I bought it. Honestly, I got it for $20 and at that price, I can't complain about it at all. There are times when it slows down, acts up or just doesn't work. When those times happen, I just simply close down apps or restart the phone. In the course of the 3 months that I've had it I've only encountered this about 4 times. Like I said, not the best, but for $20, you can't really beat it.
