An excellent phone for the money

DO NOT buy this phone. ****Terrible****

"This is a regular ordinary phone. What makes it so terrible is the sound quality. People have a hard time hearing you. It also breaks up sometimes. I'd rather talk on my cell. My cellphone has better reception and better sound quality... it should be the opposite. The more i use it, the more i hate it. Put your money towards better use...." Read Full Review »
