1.0 out of 5 stars two cans and string, November 6, 2010

I have few regrets in life, but a major one has been trying boost mobil.



1. Unethical business staff
2. Zero, that's zero customer support
3. Note: If you loved AOL, then boost is for you. Plus, like AOL, once you give them your info to bill you monthly, it is akin to coming down with an incurable std. Good luck getting them to stop billing you.
4. On a positive note, most people who tried to contact me through a reputable cell carrier received no such subscriber or service unavailable.

My three phones were all motorolas, and that is three the first week. Each had to be sent to the "factory."

2.0 out of 5 stars Heavily dissapointed, January 20, 2011

Not only did it take more days for this to come in late, but I discover that it's visually an already used phone. I don't mean to smear the rating of the seller, but this just isn't what I expected by paying $30... totally not worth it at all. I even discovered some technical difficulties with the thing. I really can't be sure if I can be fully satisfied with this phone and if there's a real option of returning it and getting either my money's worth or getting it back. For now, I'm just managing it and seeing what will happen next.

i bough this phone and canceled verizon to go with boost because of the amazing $50.00 everything plan + my sister other family members have walkie talkie so i wanted to walkie talkie with them overal the phones are expensive and so cute but i really like this phone i meam its a phone it does not have camera but gets the internet ass any other phone as well ass the text walkie talkie is great a lil hard to get used to it but once u get the hang of it ull love it the best thing would probably be the speakerphone it is very loud and clear and u could set the phone and do laundry and the person on the other end of the line will have no problems hearing you! it is great phone overall very basic so if u are expecting nice features like other phones well this is not for you it does not have a camera but u could receive pic's does not have many other features either but it does what it sais it does unlimited talk unlimited text unlimited data and unlimited walkie talkie that's what it adverstises and thats what it does. i like the simple phone could be better but im happy
