    it's a simple phone that can replace any flip phone you have that isn't working. comes with an extra sim card that you can activate for other purposes! this was a deal! great deal! it's like going back to the old days of 2000, with the old style phones. it's for gramps!

    This cell phone is very basic. The keyboard and screen are very small. It doesn't have vibration or camera, The battery life is very short even if you don't use the phone. It lacks many options that you find in smart phones. The call quality is good and ring is loud enough. This phone is only $19, so don't expect too much at that price. I'm using it while I'm waiting for better phones to come out.

    light and portable phone for somebody who needs only phone and text options. No camera at all - use your regular camera instead. Not totally user friendly but it comes with the manual

    It's a basic cell phone. I use it for phone calls and texting and not much else, and that's all I want. It doesn't have a camera. The instructional manual could have been a lot clearer, I had to spend a lot of time figuring stuff out on my own. Oh well ... like I said, it's cheap, and I knew what I was getting into, and actually it's pretty reliable. So I have no major complaints.

    great funcational phone and emergency phone. solid build and good signal reception. great for visitors. My only complain is the battery life. Even though it has 3 days standby time, I expect a longer time as this is not a smart phone.

    I bought this phone for my younger brother. If you just need a phone to call and text then this is a good one for you. Very sturdy phone so there is no worry of having to buy a case. You could probably drop it as much as you want.

    A bit of a throwback phone, but a good reliable non-smartphone to use in situations where you don't to bring smartphone along with you or as an emergency backup.

    Not too much to say other than as a basic phone it seems to work well for both calls and texting. Battery life not great, but reception bars better than my previous phone. All in all a good deal for the price!
