    It’s an ok phone for call/texting, but doesn’t do well with running most apps. If you are looking to mainly call/text on it I would recommend this phone. Otherwise if you plan to play games/apps on it I would not.

    Worst phone I've ever bought there is so many uninstallable manufacturer apps and so little memory that I cant even use most functions on the phone if I have anything more than Facebook downloaded The stylus I had before was much better but I didn't want to buy the same phone after it broke. Really wish I had.
