  • "Two major flaws: low battery life and no camera flash"
    2.5 stars
    on by VAbirdwoman

    Pros: Lively, easy interface, good screen illumination, good call quality. Case feels good in hand. Wi-Fi was easy to set up. Good user manual. The charger cord is also a USB cord for easy photo downloads to my PC. 5MP camera with zoom seems OK so far.

    Cons: Really hate the low battery life (must recharge this every night). The lack of camera flash really limits photo opps. WARNING: you will not be able to return or exchange this phone once you open the box, if you decide you don't like it.

    Summary: Overall, not a bad prepaid GoPhone but I'm glad I'm not locked into a contract with it. I didn't discover the lack of flash until I opened the box, so I am stuck with this phone. OTOH, the phone alerts me to my $2/day usage and it's easy to replenish $$. Good AT&T customer service support.

    Really, VAbirdwoman? I've had this phone for months so far and the battery is good. Do you surf the web or text a lot? That right there really drains batteries on ANY phone. If you really wanted to see horrible battery life, you'd got the short-lived AT&T Fusion that they pulled off the shelves quickly because of that problem and replaced it with this. I had that one too and returned it. If you can't return a phone, there's a problem on YOUR end. Either you messed up the phone, tried to return too many items in a certain time frame which sends up red flags, or tried returning another one with the wrong serial number that match the box and receipt. Getting the extended plan is a joke. You don't need it. If it doesn't mess up in the first 14 days, which is a requirement for the return time, it's not going to mess up. No flash? Did you even read the specs on the box before buying it? I did. This is a low-end starter phone. It's not going to have it.

    I bought mine from Walmart, they said I have 30days to bring it back to them and afterwards I can send it to ATT, but I think that is probably if you purchase the $29 insurance. I was told that if there were any scratches on the screen...you are stuck with it.
