I had purchased a Samsung Galaxy J3 almost a year ago, and had to replace it (electronics and water do not go well together) and had no doubts about buying another J3, which tells you how much I like it. The sales rep at BB just swapped out my sim card and 32 gb memory disc card I installed for my music and pics and I was off and running. For the money, you can't beat it, sure, it doesn't do all the things an S6 or S7 does but you can afford to replace it at a cost of around $100. Great battery life - 2600 mAh, decent camera, granted not a 13 mpix but hey, it's less than $100 clams, phone works great with Verizon. I researched phones before buying the first one. If you plan on downloading a lot of apps, it is limited in that aspect, only 8 gb internal of which almost 7 are preinstalled, but I don't use a lot of apps. You'll need to have a memory disc (micro). Very happy after a year.

This phone gets the job done. The camera is good for the price, the screen is good for the price and its speedy enough for most basic tasks. Especially when put into easy mode like I did for my mother - which is to say its a great phone for a beginner to smartphones! The Verizon service is good as well though perhaps a little high for what you get gigabyte wise.

If you are looking for a good phone without breaking the bank, or getting into a two year contract, this is it! Good performance, nice screen, 4G mobile connection, and expandable memory! I would recommend a durable case, the back plate that covers the battery is rather weak looking.
Bottom line: If you are not needing a top of the line phone, and are on a budget(like most of us), get this phone.

I like this phone a lot. It is a simple smart phone, running the Android operating system, so you have lots of apps you can install! But that brings up the one serious downside of this phone: It has a very limited internal memory (8 GB). This means that since most apps install there, you can't install as many apps as you would like. Some apps give you the option of moving them to an external SD card inside the phone, but most apps do not allow you to do this. Otherwise, I would give this phone 5 stars.

A nice little phone to start a prepaid plan on. You would need a SD card because storage is limited and mostly used by the phone apps.

This phone is great for price but you will run into issues with storage. Can only download a handful of apps. Have to delete others to download a new one. It gets aggravating. If you have a ton of apps, you should really go for a much higher GB phone.

It is a pretty nice cellphone for the price. Dont expect fast performance, or high quality camera, or battery. It will get you through the day with light use. this is something for people who just make phone calls, and use facebook.

If you use Verizon prepaid and don't need a first run or top of the line smartphone, then this phone will work for you. If you can't handle mid or low grade phones, then don't get this device.

It's a simple design, easy to use and understand. It does everything I've asked it to do so far. I'm not real good with all the gadgets, but i really like this phone. And I didn't give it the 5 star just because I haven't figured everything out about it yet. Two thumbs up!
