I bought this phone because it was a cheap flip phone. The battery does not last long at all and the quality of my calls are poor. I constantly drop calls and sometimes I don't receive my calls. Also it is difficult to hear from the earpiece even when on high. It's annoying when the envelope doesn't dissapear after you have checked your voicemail messages! It is also very flimsy. I like T-mobile, but I don't care much for the phones that are offered.
