    My first little phone like this was a Nokia. I just buy minutes from T-Mobile as needed. It is sturdy, easy to use, and very inexpensive. If you don't want to spend the money for a smartphone and 2-year contract, this is a great way to go.And only $20!

    I bought this phone because it was on sale for $5, theres no contract, and there are incredibly cheap plans. When i travel for work, i have started bringing this phone with me so that if i lose it or it gets broken, i wont be too upset because it was FIVE DOLLARS. it makes phone calls, it has vm, it can text. thats all i need for when im on a plane or in a hotel.

    I bought it as a spare just in case I break my iphone. I opened it up, turned it on, and it seems to work fine. For the price, it's a fantastic "just in case" phone.

    I bought this phone for my daughter as a prepaid phone. It works great and the battery last long than any smart phone. So she can always call Mommy for picking her up even she forget charging phone. The message is harder than smart phone. Otherwise, it will be 5 star.

    Alright phone, cheap and does what it's supposed to do. Terrible battery life when you're talking, though, it sucks electricity like it's going out of style.

    My phone died and I needed a replacement. This was great alternative to a payment plan for 24 months. I still use it, I get great reception and battery life. There are no frills, just a good super basic phone.
