    I purchased a few of these to use a "dedicated" mp3 players for my Bluetooth headphones. Wow! They work perfectly. The sound quality by using the micro sd card in the phone and using Bluetooth to connect to the headphones makes the headphones sound 1000 times better compared to having the micro sd card inserted directly into the headphones. Plus by using the mp3 player on the cell phone I can easily sort through songs, artists, albums, make playlists, etc. There are also multiple eq features and other sound adjustments that can be made through the cell phone. I have used the Wifi when out and about, and this is just an extra bonus. The screen is large and bright and sensitive enough on the touch screen despite not being "perfect." The battery lasts really long with me using it as an mp3 player. I haven't activated any of the Trackphone features as I'm using it strictly as an mp3 player/Wifi internet. Hope this helps. Thanks.

    Picked up the phone for under 10$ and I use it primarily as a device to game on. Touch screen isn't all that great but it works. Battery life is actually really good. Ideally this would be used as an emergency phone, or as a way to keep in contact with your kids or niece(s) and nephew(s). If you're looking for a temp phone to use from time to time or as an emergency phone, and you absolutely HAVE to buy one instead of getting a hand-me-down, AND can pick this up for 5-10$ I would go for it, otherwise spend a bit more money and get something fully functional.

    I bought this phone for my mom who is visiting from out of the country. I actually went through 2 Tracfones before deciding on this one. It is great for the price! I downloaded some apps already that work with Wifi. Camara is not the best but its enough for the time she is here. Very easy to use for her as well.

    I have collected many prepaid phones over the past few years, mainly for use as small tablet substitutes, timers, games, or googling something quick over wi-fi. I picked up this phone to carry around as my actual phone. Previously, I had been using an LG Optimus (Which I liked better - with more features), but with Verizon as the carrier, reception was spotty to non-existent at work. I had gotten 2 of these phones for my kids to use and they seemed to work pretty well for them. So, I thought I would give it a try; and, for a price match of $9.99, I really could not go wrong. The phone does lack certain features, like auto-rotate, but has worked pretty well for me as a phone. Reception has been good (different carrier than the LG, AT&T I believe), the sound is clear, and battery life reasonable as long as you do not have a lot of apps running and the screen is off. Standby time usually only drops me a few percent each day when I am not using it very much. I do wish that android would add in the capability of repeat notifications when you miss a call or text. I had to search to find an app for that which would do what I want without draining the battery or popping up ads.

    My 10 year old daughter was begging for a phone since her friends have one. I wasn't sure if she was old enough for a phone but the low price on this phone will be worth the try. Very inexpensive so if she drops the phone it won't be a huge loss.

    Gift for 5yr old grandson so he stops taking ours to play games on. Works perfectly for him! He loves having his 'own phone' and even pretends to call people! My daughter said no problem getting it up and running. Don't need minutes or any further expense just to play games so it was a perfect gift! The phone was very light weight borderline cheap but perfect for playing his games! Happy grandma here...

    In an age where iPhones and other expensive phones dominate the market, the Alcatel OneTouch Pixi Glitz doesn't even make an attempt to compete as a flagship device. Running Android 4.4 KitKat, the overall responsiveness is decent considering the price point. This is one of those smartphones where you won't break the bank if it gets lost, broken, or stolen. Not a bad device for someone who's completely new to smartphones or if you just want a device that your child can play with and not worry if he/she breaks it.

    The Pixi Glitz is not too glitzy but it is a simple and easy to use android tracfone. It is nice looking and has a good feel to it. Not too heavy and not too light. Overall it is a good starter android phone and has a lot of features for the price.

    It's a decent enough phone

    One of the reasons that I purchased this phone is because it is GSM and uses AT&T and not Verizon. AT&T generally has better service for me. The only downside to this budget Android is when you turn the phone off and then turn it back on, it says that Google Play Services has stopped working. You press OK to dismiss the message and then you can use the phone. As I don't know much about Android, I don't know if this is a bug and it's actually working or if it is truly not working. Nor do I know if this affects the functioning of the phone. It seems to work fine to me. Other than that, it's a decent, budget phone.

    I use this as a secondary phone and it gets the job done. You have to keep in mind that it is not in the same league as your iPhones or Galaxys, but very capable of getting the smartphone job done. Its a great basic smartphone at a great price.

    I received fast delivery and the item was as described on the website. I definitely would not buy this for your main phone but a back up or first phone for your child. I have not tested it much yet so unable to comment on speed and specs

    Good phone, I bought it for its size, its small and still can get on the internet and be seen. It cost $10 and has a decent phone signal but not great. WiFi is better than average. Biggest problem is it's a 2 GB phone and a lot of apps will use up memory. It does take an external micro SD card for songs and photos, but apps can't be stored on the SD card. For the money and limited use it's great.

    I bought this phone for about $10 (sales price). It's a nice little phone at this price. One thing I like is that it runs the KitKat (4.4.x) Android OS.
