    Being able to purchase an affordable unlocked phone without any commitments is appreciated, so I can use the device outside my carrier's coverage area (outside the USA).

    Very bad experience. I bought open box cell phone at the store. While charging at home it turned off every 10-15 minutes and I had to turn it on each time. I went online to try to find an option to exchange but there was only option to buy. I saw that open box sells for $40-60 cheaper. The guy at the store sold me open box for full price. I bought online another phone to pick up at the store and went there to return defective open box phone. A guy at customer service wanted to charge me $45 restocking fees ! For defective opened box phone that they sold me for a full price ! After speaking with the manager, and explaining him the issues, manager treated me like I am a fool and said that the phone screen goes black because it goes to a sleep mode . I explained that I know the difference between phone turning off and the phone that goes in sleepjng mode. After spending 45 minutes and waiting for the phone to turn off while nobody is touching it, i was able to return it without paying restocking fees for defective opened box phone which they sold me for a full price. Very bad experience!

    Good alternative if you’re looking for a cheaper version of the galaxy series. It works just the same. I bought this as a gift for my mom & she doesn’t have any complaints!
