Is this a good phone if you are using it ONLY for texting and occasional phone calls?

That's the main reason I bought the phone as I'm not a big Internet user. It's okay for limited use or for an emergency phone.

Yes, I think so. We bought it for an extra phone to be used only occasionally for a few events a year and for the voicemail. The previous phone we had for this organization was so old it didn't work at the location we had for the events. This phone is a good current phone and appears to work very well for texting and phone calls. I believe it would work for other functions and even internet, etc. if you want it to.

The phone has other capabilities, but it works just fine for texting and calls. That is what the one I ordered is used for.

This is a decent phone for rough use. Screen size is ok.. (don't compare with Smart phones). This is very good for people who want to use it for calls, small games. Music.. I would suggest if you are are looking for only these requirements. I got the phone but it was not Unlocked.

It is the ideal phone for someone who just wants a phone to be a phone. I use my computer for the internet. It does have texting capability.

It's a great phone for clarity, but I've found it to be not very user friendly for texting. For an inexpensive phone, I'd recommend it though.

I bought this phone several months ago through Amazon. My wife uses the phone. From her experience, the duration of a single charge depends on how often and how long you use the phone. According to her, she charges it once every week. She is not a super user though; mostly to make and receive calls of short durations, and to send a receive text messages. It is a good cheap phone, but your experience may be different if you use other features like facebook, twitter, music, and the likes often.

It's very good, but keep in mind it depends mostly on your phone and provider.

It is but I would not suggest this phone. It is VERY light and cheap. I don't even think it works properly. I would say spend a few more dollars and try to get something better.

It's a decent phone. I loved everything about it except for two major things: 1. The keyboard. Sometimes when you're typing, you had to press really hard on the virtual keyboard to get it to register your touch. 2. Sometimes, when people would text me, I would get their message twice, or not at all. It drove me nuts. Other than that, I loved this phone. It took great pictures to suit my needs, calls came in clearly & the display was clear. I don't know if these issues were to my phone specifically or if its something that happened on other's, too. But good luck. If you can, I recommend the iPhone 4, honestly! I got it for free from Verizon & it works flawlessly. It was brand new, too, & I bought it in July. Good luck! :)

It's not a wonderful phone that is needed for anything else than making phone calls. It is slow and not very reliable

It really depends on your requirements. it is not the most user friendly phone out there... it does save you on data charges, if don't use the Internet, vs a smart phone. I went from a smart phone to this, and have been tempted to throw it in the ocean more than once. on the positive, it does have the keyboard, which makes texting easier than a flip phone. would I buy it again? no. but it may suit someone elses needs perfectly. it does, after all, make and receive calls and texts! :)

I don't know I have this phone because I really don't like smart phones, and I'm too cheap to spend all that money each month. I like this phone because mostly it is just a phone. I use a few other features like the calculator, calendar, ect..., but mostly just the phone.

It is not a bad phone. Does the job for basic caller ID and what not. This particular model is just the handset. You would still need to get the base for the phone. Hope this helps.

no, it's very limited in what it can do. It is a phone to call and text from and that's it.

Yes, but may NOT be able to utilize all of the phones features. It's hit or miss with "unlocked" phones. I wasn't impressed with it's wed capabilities, but is fine for text and calling. I would not buy it again personally, but let your needs be your compass when choosing a phone.

I think this phone is best if you don't need a smartphone. Just a decent feature phone.
