    I read the reviews and apparently this worked for some folks but did not for me. I bought it for my mom but when I went to set it up it was a real nightmare and there were all kinds of issues. Spent lots of time on the phone with representatives who in the end did not help.

    Took me some time to figure out which SIM was the right one for my phone. But the reception is not too great for where I am. Its "average"! Hence the review.

    The set up wasn't simple. When purchased in store, although the customer service rep asked me for a number i would like to use and checked to see if it wasn't available. Then i had to wait till the next morning to contact their customer service center as they only worked between 8am - 4 pm. But once it was sorted out it worked well.
