Customer Ratings & Reviews

Gets the job done. Basic phone for calls and texts. Calls are 4G VoLTE and have been fine. Haven't tried the browser....other reviews say it rarely works. I don't use mobile phones for web browsing anyway. Rarely used my smart phones for that. Texting does take longer, like it used to back in the day, but I picked it back up quickly. Camera is basic but it's available if needed. Image quality isn't bad. My smart phone SIM card dropped right in to the Nokia 225, and T-Mobile recognized it and I was back on their network in several minutes. You will need to provide and install up to a 32GB Micro SD card to get full functionality of the phone and its software. After 14 years as smart phone user, I pivoted back to this basic phone. Tired of smart phones for several reasons. Happy I dumped it.

I like this phone because its simple to use, gets a great signal using T-Mobile and dosen't cost a lot of money.

Had to get a GSM phone due to CDMA phase out. This was relatively inexpensive, and does talk and text well (it can also do data, but I didn't need data). Built in Apps can't be deleted, but can be re-arranged. I put the ones I use (talk, text, calendar, etc.) on the home screen, and moved the junk ones (games, Facebook, etc.) to screen three, where I never see them. Date displays in international format (day, month, year) instead of US format (month, day, year), and can't be changed. Time stamp on incoming texts is off by one hour, and my be a carrier issue.

This item has not yet been used. The clerks have often been helpful in answering my questions, but some of the services have changed and my interest is old-fashioned and limited. I need more basic help with all technology...longer appt. times when requested. Just learned that there is a re-stocking fee of $45....on my $49 phone choice which was not on display. That seems ridiculous if I cannot see it before I pay for it, since it was not in stock! Also learned that my Total Tech membership now is separate from Webroot. All seem to be inconsiderate of limited budget of retirees/seniors/and equipment deemed obsolete to us.

so far so good, great vacation from the smart phone! small, light, makes and receives calls and text messages. it's not a full keyboard so you don't get sucked into constant texting.

Good quality basic phone. Has internet based apps which frankly I did not expect on a phone like this. It’s a positive but don’t see myself using internet on this phone. Definitely helps with reducing screen time. Happy with the purchase.

Simple and gets the work done. Battery works for almost 20 days

It is basic, unlocked, and works well. I definitely recommend for traveling or for just keeping a second line that does not require a smartphone.

Simple talk and text. Limited internet. Not a smart phone but it’s cheap and does the job.

It is best to call and text. It does what it supposed to do.

Basic cell phone works well...and games, etc. for entertainment...the price is right & fits in your jean coin pocket for light weight carry!

great lil phone, if you are looking for simplicity and cheap, this is a good choice.

i guess the phone was ok, but sprint said it wouldn't work on their network even thought sprint and t-mobile are the same company now. i should have stayed with at&t

Decent cheap phone for punishment when kids are being disrespectful and ungrateful

Works fine for the price it tens of battery and calling. It doesn’t have Arabic language and not even able to read any Arabic message. Got is as a gift and by the time we knew that we passed the return window. Disappointed.

Its overall a good phone if you jsut want the basics. Beware that if you return it the restocking fee is $45 so you can’t really take it back. Be sure to check if your carrier is supported. At&t is not and makes the phone unusable for me.

This phone is amazing...I have been using this phone since 3 years now and it never let me down in need

This phone is everything it promises to be. A basic cell phone with hardly any gadgets and gizmos. A great option for a starter phone (if you’re wary of giving your kid a smart phone right away).

Was not compatible with current wireless account. Returned

This phone is not compatible with AT&Ts network as advertised. Put in the SIM Card and it showed At&ts network but would not accept calls or texts. After further research this phone will not work on At&t. Also best buy charges a $45 restocking fee for any opened phone returned. I understand this policy for more expensive devices but this one was $48 after tax.
