Good phone for overall use.

I purchased this phone as a replacement for my wife's contract phone which had stopped working. Since this phone uses a SIMM card and is setup to work on the ATT wireless network all I had to do was install the SIMM card from her old phone and turn it...

Small size, clear screen, texting keyboard, good battery time

Keys are small for heavy texting, using features can be confusing

Mislead by sales staff

This phone requires you to use an att SIM card, it is not unlockable. We were told that the phone was not locked and did not require an ATT SIM card. Very very unhappy with The customer service from Best Buy. Refused to refund money with a sales receipt.
