Good, basic smartphone for a good price / Wifi capable / Seller sent fast item & packaged it nicely :-)
I am a SafeLink customer & was trying to find a smartphone to replace the phone that came with my account.
After researching phones on ebay, I found this one & am hoping, from what I've read from other customers, that this phone will be something that I can hook up to my SafeLink account at the beginning of next month once my airtime has been reset.
Also, I purchased this phone based upon the Wifi capability, and I am happy to report that I was able to hook up to Wifi immediately after opening the box & before I have even activated the phone service.
Of course the speed depends on the Wifi service as well, but the phone -- all be it basic but still quite functional -- operates very fast on the Wifi service that I am using, so I am very pleased with that alone at this point.
If you are a Tracfone or SafeLink customer or are just (again) looking for a smartphone that will respond quickly to Wifi, for the price, I definitely recommend this phone.
Again, I haven't used it for phone calls or even texting yet, but I have explored the other features as well as examined both the phone & texting options, and the keypad is adequate enough compared to much more expensive phones (I do miss one I had last year that also had the voice input feature for texting, but just to have a smartphone that I can type the letters into the phone with rather than a basic phone that requires me to hit each number at a time as many times as it takes to enter each letter is a breeze compared to what I've been going through until purchasing this phone).
This phone is also not Bluetooth compatible, but there is a hole for ear buds & headphones, which I already had & was able to use with the person on the other end of the call hearing me clearly with my other phone, so I have no doubt that this phone will work with just as well if not better based upon what I've learned from playing around with it so far.
I'm also not sure about the Triple minute offer with SafeLink, but I do know that I've been able to add them to my account already, so that is probably based more on each person's individual service & whether they again plan to use Tracfone or already have SafeLink (or plan to, which I again already do have on my other phone & will transfer the number to this phone with at the beginning of next month).
Some people might not like this feature, but you can turn it off anyway: this phone (when powered up 1st time) has voice feedback, and that has been helpful for me as I have been learning this phone & setting/customizing it for my use -- I am both an audible & visual learner. :-)
Oh, and the seller sent it "lighting fast."
I ordered it on Saturday & received it today (Monday).
I didn't expect to receive it for at least another day or two considering the "business days" involved & that there was a Sunday in between.
Last point: screen size is adequate enough (I do wear reading glasses myself, but for someone whose eyesight is good, this is probably even easier), and it is very responsive to the touch.
I hope this review is helpful. :-)
I read a few myself before purchasing this phone, which was how I learned that I could activate it on my SafeLink account -- & am thankful to especially one person who gave specific tips on how to get it done effectively & quickly (transfer number, etc.), so I am confident that it will be no problem, and either way, the rates with the Triple minutes for a paying customer alone are competitive.
