    You don't expect much from a twenty dollar phone but this one disappointed even when you expect little. Pictures are useless and texting a real chore. Even just dialing a number is a problem because the keyboard is often unresponsive.

    A very basic phone, but at a good price. Great for a back up phone to make calls. No real internet and texting is using the T9 system, so not for much beyond phone calls.

    Works fine for someone who only wants to make voice calls and texts. It is made well, has good battery life and is small.

    Brought for my grandparent who only uses a cell for basic calls. He hates the idea of paying for frills he doesn't use. Good for a person who only uses a few minutes month to month and doesn't text or use data. Phone holds up. Replaced one similar that lasted 3 yrs until it started malfunctioning.

    Okay, so anyone under 30 is going to turn their nose up at this simple phone. I don't need a GPS in my phone and I don't want to text anyone. My phone is for my use only and only for the purpose of making a call when I want to call someone. My needs are basic and this phone is perfect. If you don't like it, too bad, go get a more expensive phone.

    Great Value!...1-Touch dialing needs improvement! Battery life beats any smart phone making it a reliable choice for a back-up phone.

    In my opinion this is the worst cell phone made in this decade. Camera is terrible. Calls drop. Not worth the time or money purchasing it.
