    I bought this for my grandmother because her other phone broke. She spilled tea on it. Just enough for a 90-year old woman.

    I bought the phone for the charger, not for the phone. But it was the cheapest option, so I'm very happy with it.

    Order these for T-Mobile prepaid and prepaid carriers under the T-Mobile network. Great for family members that just need basic service and that are prone to losing their phones. Has a nice loud ringer.

    My Galaxy phone suddenly stopped working so I needed an emergency back up phone. Bought this phone dirt cheap while I receive my new Galaxy over the mail. Used it for about 4-5 days and it worked awsome!!

    The phone is very simple - no bells and whistles as I wanted. It worked ok at first but then it became very difficult to switch off. I have to make several attempts and sometime just give up and let the battery drain. It is a very frustrating phone and I would not recommend it to anyone.

    I lose my phone quite regularly. A new sim card and phone made it easy to replace w/o doing any contract change.

    I needed to replace a lost phone and wanted as basic, stripped down a model as I could get. I was pleased to find a very simple one at Best Buy for only $19.95 plus screen breakage insurance (screens still break too easily) for $4.95. It is a very good value for the money.

    The device was a Godsend. I needed "just" a phone, not particularly one with bells and whistles...this fit the bill. I was also pleasantly surprised at the sound quality. Good device.
