I got this to use for Zoom and for games. It's fine for what it is but a bigger screen would be nicer.

I thought that I could make due with this phone for a few weeks and I was wrong.
This phone could not make calls consistently, its touch screen was unresponsive at times, and the pictures it tool were straight outta’ 1996.
Do not buy this phone.

Got this for a teenage child and it is exactly what is needed. It was also on clearance so that made it much better if a purchase. Have had no issues with the phone and am pleased with it.

My daughter lost her phone. This phone was the perfect gap filler, while she waited for the phone she wanted to be in stock. It cost her less than one month on her regular wireless plan (which she cancelled) for both the phone and one month of prepaid service. She got voice, text and data so she didn't miss a beat. I highly recommend.

It's a nice phone. The only downside is that it's smaller than I imagined.

Smallest 5" phone I have seen, fits well in one hand. 16 gigs ROM 2 gigs RAM, $15, setup can be tedious but worth it, basic camera, no sound recorder app, 60+ % RAM used already, decent low-end device
