Can't Be Used on Regular Sprint Network!

Bought on Black Friday sale via online. Though the box clearly says Sprint and uses their normal black and yellow markings with pin drop logo, this phone cannot be activated on the regular Sprint network. It can only be used if you want to subscribe to a separate prepaid service. This may have been clear to others, but when I read "No-Contract Cell Phone" I thought it meant I could buy at the full purchase price and then add to my current contract without adding another 2 year agreement. This is not what it means AT ALL.

Yes the S4 and HTC One has more bells & whistles, but this is a very capable phone.
AMOLED 720p screen (at 306ppi) is incredible sharp. Fast 8MB camera. Dual-core, but fast Krait Snapdragon processor. And 4G. What more do you really need?

This is a really good phone for $200. It has a really good camera, 16GB internal storage plus external SD card slot and it's pretty fast as well.

I like this phone very much. It is easy to use and has a nice screen to look at. A couple of things that bother me is that being a s3 I don't think it's getting the new lollipop update which is dumb because if can still buy it new at the store you should get any new updates. Also the battery drains a little fast when you use it a lot. My older phone battery lasted longer. But over all good phone.

I am very happy with my Samsung Galaxy III phone. Sure, It's not the newest phone on the market, but I get all the power, memory, and 4G LTE data I need. For $35 per month, I feel very satisfied and am glad I'm not on a contract. The only drawback is that the battery life isn't very long. Perhaps it is because I use many apps though.

The phone is used with sprint pre paid. For 35 bucks a month you get unlimited talk and text, and limited data. This is just what we needed. The phone is nice, lots of great features, the camera is pretty good. The weight is nice, no too heavy. We ordered a cover and screen protector on line. Good product for the price.

Bought it for a steal on black friday for my mother. She had an old low end galaxy reverb and new the S3 would be a great "high end" starter for her and I was right! She loves that its larger and brighter and the battery lasts a lot longer than her old phone. Overall this phone even though 3-4 years old still very capable and well appreciated by users with old low end phones.

This Samsung galaxy 3 is a great phone for the money. Plenty of storage for me....16g., which is what I needed. I had an lg9 before but got rid of it due to lack of storage. I can't afford a galaxy 6, so this is perfect pricing for me at 199.00. I'm sold on Samsung galaxys from now on!

Saving money, getting more. No contract plan works great for my needs. Phone offers all I need at this time. Suggest adding a case to avoid dropping this slippery phone. Fits into pocket or purse just fine.
