    The phone is good for the price. Pictures are good. SIM- does not come with a sim card because it is unlocked.

      Thank you for sharing your feedback, RedDog. It's good to know that you're satisfied with the phone, especially the picture quality. And yes, it's common for unlocked phones not to come with a SIM card, allowing users the flexibility to choose their own carrier.

    Great phones for the kids - not so much for adults

    I purchased two of these phones, one for each of my two kiddos, 5/8. After a week both love them, they had old iPod touches and although I feel those ran smoother than these at times, I think it’s getting the job done. Eventually we will pass the torches down (iPhones) as time progresses, but each phone works great, games run smoothly, cameras not too bad, and battery life is decent. Very affordable, and with expandable memory, I’d say $200.00 well spent.

    Nice phone. I was told by a salesman from another store that I should get a new sim card though rather than use the one that I got from my Motorola G6. Apparently, the technology does change at the tower level? So I might do that. It all works though and the google IA system is a little better I think. Don't like the primary clock feature though.

    With over 15 years of using a flip phone I made the choice to get a Motorola G phone and have flipped out on what I have missing out on. Easy to navigate and the battery life is outstanding! So many options and the emoji's are over the top. A great decision!
