    I bought this phone from Best buy (I mostly shop there) and am happy with the service. The phone has good connection and good sound. I did not want anything fancy, just a phone with a good connection and good sound and this is just the right one. Got this good deal at best buy for $19.99.

    I paid around $7 for this phone when it was on sale. Phone is light weight and bit flimsy but definitely worth the price.

    This is a solid back up phone. My regular phone broke so I used this for a while. It may not have all those fancy features, but at least I can talk and text with no problems. It's nice to relive those times before smart touch phones existed.

    For the price, it does exactly what it design for -make phone call. The 3G voice reception is much better than my old 2g one. Though the key pad is on the too cheap side , got the feeling it may break soon

    I got this phone as a emergency back up incase my phone were to break on me when traveling. Was just what I needed, but I was surprised by some of the features. It does actually have some kind of basic internet (though I don't plan on using it), and it is open to customization. Was able to use my own mp3s and images to customize the phone, which was great because I didn't want to listen to the usual simple ringtones the phone came with.

    We needed a phone for our son and didn't want to make a huge investment just in case he lost it. So far, so good.
