I already had one, and bought a second one to use for testing, etc.These are also good to use as a relatively cheap cam to keep an eye out for deliveries, although they don't have night vision, of course.I don't use it as my primary phone, but as a secondary phone and hotspot.Works well for those things, too.Also good for playing music, etc.Good, budget phone.Can use it with red pocket, or other MNVO, for low cost phone and/or data.
Very good phone and cheap reliable services
I bought this not to use as a phone but as an affordable, pocket size, Android tablet.I use it primarily for music either streaming or from my library.I added a 32GB micro SD card for storage.Occasional web surfing.So far it is performing as expected.I removed and or disabled the majority of the pre-installed and useless apps and installed only what I need and want.The device is going through a number of updates to the OS which is expected.
