The Nokia 225 is a very good basic phone; there is some adjustment necessary when adjusting from a smartphone, The phone works well for basic texting as well. It’s an excellent value as a low cost alternative to a smart phone, is small and easy to carry, and has very good battery life.

If I could give it 0 stars, I would. This phone is not compatible with Boost and there is a $45 restock fee to return to BestBuy. What a waste of money since the phone can’t be used.
