The phone was working perfectly but these scammers and fraud stars are getting clever the phone got a virus but other than that all good
All need to distress, 45 - 54
Inexpensive but still ok
So far I can't knock the product, it's really good value for money. £49 for a brand new phone that for it's money you can't moan. The only thing that isn't great is the camera,but again it does what is says on the tin at a bargain price. #high5argos #tcl501
