This doesn’t work. We live out of town with demanding jobs and we were told it was out of the 14 day period to return. No refund allowed. We will be shopping elsewhere after years and thousands of dollars.

Great little phone for my 87 year old mother. Had to upgrade to a 4g after a 3g and didn't want to spend alot as she doesn't use it unless an emergency in her car. Great price for this.

Remember the 2000s when every phone had physical buttons? If you missed that feeling of pressing down buttons to type, or just want an affordable and reliable phone for phone calls this is the one for you!

Hi, we are sorry to hear about your experience and thank you for taking the time out to write us a review. We take such feedback very seriously. Unfortunately, we cannot comment on Best Buy's customer service experience. About AT&T, HMD mobiles does not have a say in their business practices, however if you're looking for a feature phone, the Nokia 6300 4G is compatible with AT&T.

Open box arrived! When I tried to return it, they asked for a restocking fee!!!
Terrible! After that, I realized that mobile phones will never be bought from the internet.
