Great basic phone for the price.
Before I begin, be aware that I activated this phone on a prepaid plan ($35 for the initial prepaid minutes) and then Immediately transferred it to my monthly plan to replace my 11 year old phone that doesn't support VoLTE based phone calls.
Verizon does this all the time and in my case, gave me a *limited* monthly reduction on my plan as a way to more than offset the prepaid plan $35 cost needed to activate the phone.
That said, here we go...
It does the basics such as phone, text, email, pictures, video, light gaming, and internet (by cell tower or home wifi) just fine. Consider purchasing extra batteries and a battery charger though. The battery life is nothing stellar but having a swappable battery compartment means I can flip out a drained battery and be back up and running with a spare in just tens of seconds. No need to make sure my battery is fully charged before shooting out the door & no concern about wearing out the USB port since I'm recharging the phone on a daily basis.
Downside:
No 5G, low screen resolution, no accessable built in FM radio, and with only a 5" screen, the on screen keys are a bit cramped.
Upside:
I can cast YouTube videos to my home TV, it covers the basics, and if it breaks or is lost, I'm only out about $35.Read full review
