    Per the packaging and product details, this phone is equipped with hotspot capabilities. Upon further investigation, even though the packaging lists hotspot as a feature, it isn't capable. I wouldve purchased the item if I was aware that the feature wasn't available. Very disappointed.

    I had never heard of an Alcatel phone. I only bought it because of the size & features for a "Cricket" phone. I am very satisfied with my purchase! Much nicer phone than I expected for $100!

    I have had this phone for about two years now and I have to say that it is a great phone. The speakers are great, camera is dececnt, and screen is nice. I do recommend getting a good case due to size just in case you drop it. only negative is sometimes the bluetooth is choppy so if you turn off the wifi it works better.

    Great Value

    This cell phone was regarded as Alcatel's best cell phone when launched, which may not say a lot. It came to market for $250 and $50 less for pre-orders and is much better value than the new Idol 4 with gimmicky VR glasses. It has a great 1080p screen and is light and comfortable to use. Sure it's sometimes a bit slow with heavy use and the battery life fades over time but for a hundred bucks its hard to find its equal even though I still don't like the left side on/off switch nor the non changeable battery. I bought a second as a spare.

    The best smartphone for one hundred bucks! It's got a Sony camera and two front JBL speakers!! There isn't any other phone in this price range with these features, a must buy!!
