    Bought this inexpensive phone for my elderly father, who has problems with most technical devices, including his current flip phone. This one is much more intuitive and works well for him.

    I was looking for a cheap phone for my secondary T-Mobile travel phone when I don't carry smartphone etc. This is perfect for the price and functionality I wanted. Should have bought two.

    We needed a cheap phone without a camera and looked everywhere until we came across this one at best buy. The problem was we needed it next day and has to drive All the way to Bastrop to get the phone after ordering the night before. But it has worked out.

    We bought this phone for our three young sons to share when they are at friend's houses or have to stay late at the school. This is a decent phone for the price for those that just need a basic phone.

    If you remember the old Nokia candy bar phones, this is the modern equivalent. If you need to text and make phone calls, this phone will get that much done. It's a great match with the T-Mobile prepaid plan that costs all of $3 a month!

    The sound and voice quality is great on calls. IF you buy this phone to work with a regular T-Mobile account be sure to get voice mail set up properly as there are extra steps. This phone has been working well. Minus a star for the lame attempt at accessing the internet. You just can't do it on this phone. Samsung could make a budget phone that works a lot better for about the same price.
