    I needed a phone that was basic so I could just call and text. This phone has fantastic battery life and does everything I need for a good price.

    I would only buy this item as an emergency or backup phone. I bought this to attempt a run-around of expensive long distance charges to a detention center; however, in the end I stopped using it because I could not get decent reception anywhere in my apartment with this. And this was with good reception on my primary phone -- a Verizon iphone. I bought this item only because it was a deal of the day at $5. Otherwise, I would not have bought this.

    You pay $20 bucks and get a button phone. It's good for the price, what do you want me to say??

    I just wanted a simple feature phone, which my Mom can use and it should not be anything but complex, just numbers and call button. This was priced good and does the job. It can go 3 days without charge. Overall I am happy with my purchase.

    This is an old fashion cell phone, but it works remarkably well. You wouldn't expect for a cell phone that cost only $20.00 and does all the basic things you need to do. Calling, texting, messages... I would recommend this for low budgeted people. This is what you need.

    Simple phone, with no bells or whistles for those who just want to dial a number and talk. The phone has no camera, no bluetooth. It does have super simple web surfing capabilities, but you would not want to rely on them.

    Good phone for someone just wanting to make calls and receive text messages mostly. Have not used it yet. I bought it because this type of bar phone has become obsolete and I like bar phones on this style.
