    Can’t perform text messaging correctly

    Meant to be simple. It does not correctly perform its main duty: texting and calling. Texts messages will come in with random timestamps which means the conversation is in a random order as well. You can have a full conversation with someone where all of your replies are grouped together at the bottom and all the other person’s replies are all grouped at the top because the phone thinks they came in before you sent your messages.

    If you are in need of a really simple dumb phone, in my case, when I had take my kids smart phone away, it's a nice little phone. Build is questionable. Not like a Nokia of the past.

    Worst purchase I've ever made. Phone is complete trash. Dont waste your time. If you return it, which you will because it sucks, you'll be charged a $45 restocking fee, which is almost the cost of this trash.
