Good overall phone.
I brought this yesterday, it's easy to set up, is a great price. For me I need just a basic phone so it's ideal. Allows you to use WiFi, so I have internet connection. It's faster than my last phone and easier to use. The display is bigger than my last phone, so it's great, with a clear screen. It's battery life seems better too as it doesn't loose charge as fast as my old phone. Overall a great phone for the money. Would buy again.
