I got this as my first cell phone and at first i was pleased that i could get a phone so cheap and have unlimited texting through virgin for only $20 a month.

Long story short a month after having it hear are my impressions

Positive
-Its only $30
-You can throw it at people and it will not break

Negative
-Even after only a month of texting i can easily out-text this phone which is very very annoying
-Very poor reception, then move over ten steps and you have great reception, only you can be outside and do that and still same thing it has a horrible time picking up a signal
-Sometimes takes half an hour to receive a message which as you can imagine gets very old very fast
-Marks messages as sent when they arnt at all sent, this happens very frequently
-Randomly out of the blue freezes, ALOT which is also stupid having to pull the battery sometimes 4 to 5 times a day
-You can add words to your word list for texting but when you have to pull the battery because the dang thing froze it loses some words and never quit works right

Thats all
My ompinion is that unless your desperate for the very cheapest plan with the very cheapest service DO NOT EVER THINK ABOUT BUYING THIS PHONE!!!

Awsome Phone 4 20 dollars Sleek Black nice And the Setup was easy I GIVE IT A 4 stars And NO SIM CARD WITH VIRGIN SO IF U HAVE A assurance free Plan JUST CALL AND SWITCH Virgin does it over phone No cost!

This phone is compatible with the Plantronics Bluetooth I purchased. The only thing I did not like about it was that in the process of programming the phone, I was unable to change the clock settings as it told me I could. I am a novice at programming phones, but I did it myself.

Works great and is very cheap to own. Plans are what you want with no hassles. You can buy topups at target.
