Inexpensive Phone for a Cheapskate

 

I don't text or use a data plan. I refuse to pay for those things. I just need a phone for calls. My phone was toast and ATT tried to get me to spend a minimum of $100 to replace it. Along came this phone, put in my old sim card and I was go to go....

Good Emergency Phone

 

This was the perfect gift for my mom who only will need limited access to a cell phone when away from home. Easy to read display and numbers big enough for her finger dexterity. Good budget price.

awesome phone for the money

 

This is not the fastest phone in the world but it gets the job done...and for $20 I can not complain. Took me longer to open the darn plastic than to set up the phone and save my contacts (I only have 8 contacts). Bottom line...I can text and call...

Nice little phone for what you pay

 

I used to have a Samsung Restore through Virgin Mobile, because the plan was cheap and I could text and all that jazz. Anyway, I stopped paying for the service because the call quality suuuucked. I could only get about half of what anyone was saying....
