    The Samsung Galaxy S III is a worth purchase from Best Buy. This is one of the best mobile phone in this price range with great features. I am extremely satisfied with the product. Just one thing to mention that Galaxy S III is now considered as an old model, but still a good one to use.

    Great value & quality 4G LTE phone. Beautiful phone at a 1/4 of the price of the latest model of Galaxy S6! Unlocked to allow lots of cell carrier options.

    Good price on the phone. Had a Galaxy S 1 for four years and it was still working but wanted a 4G so I invested in the Galaxy 111 4G. I use it with Net10 and I happy with service.

    Im bought this phone because just got used to its software and didnt want to get used to something newer yet. Only thing i have noticed is its unlocked by third party so the battery life isnt as great as a factory Samsung s3 but it is good and a great price compared to what it came out at.

    I read really good reviews. But unfortunately the one that was shipped has a faulty USB port. So no charging. I bought this for my Niece for Christmas. Very disappointed.

    unlocked phone with ATT apps. I use T mobile and downloaded visual voice mail and one other app and no issues. ATT software is not an issue. I wish that the battery was strong, but waaaay better than my 5 yr old lg phone. Just today having troubles with a mms file. I hope with a stronger signal the picture will eventually download.

    I purchased this unlocked phone in hopes it would work with my existing provider, T-Mobile and provide a quick fix to my broken phone dilemma. After numerous phone calls, totalling 4 hours of support time to my provider, this AT&T phone could not be configured to work properly. Internet & messaging finally worked, multimedia messaging set up was a failed attempt. My Best Buy purchase was a total waste. After one month of failed attempts, I had to purchase a new phone from T Mobile instead.
