    What is an unlocked phone?

    An unlocked phone is a device that is not bound to any carrier or plan. It allows you to choose your phone first and your carrier second. Upon selecting a plan, simply insert the carrier's SIM card into the phone and you're ready to go. If you decide you want to change carriers down the road or want to take an international trip, it's as simple as replacing your existing SIM card with a new SIM and activating your new plan.

    What are the benefits of an unlocked phone?

    Freedom: Choose the carrier with the best service or price. If you find a better deal later, you have the ability to change to a different carrier.

    Travel: Take your phone internationally and use the carrier of your choice. It's as easy as inserting an active SIM card.

    Selection: Choose the phone with the features you want, whether or not your carrier sells it, and get more service options without a contract.

    How do I set up my unlocked phone?

    The first thing you’ll need is a SIM card for your desired carrier. When activated, the SIM card will let your phone connect to your carrier’s network. If you decide to upgrade to a newer unlocked phone in the future, you can easily remove the SIM card from your old phone and put it in your new phone—just make sure you get the right size of SIM card (nano, micro, or standard) for your phone. If you want to use your phone while traveling internationally, you can easily buy a SIM card for a carrier that operates where you’re traveling. As long as it’s activated, you can just swap SIM cards when you arrive at your destination.

    Verizon no longer supports this phone.
    DON'T BOTHER. This phone is no longer supported by Verizon due to "network upgrades". Having to return it - hopefully that goes well.

    This has been a fantastic phone so far. Its solid, and for someone like me who only needs to really text/call and use the camera occasional it works like a dream. The phone was also brand new with even what looks to be the original battery as well. Coupled with a 3.5mm headphone jack, it makes a nice mp3 player for me as well.

    I wasn’t happy with this flip phone because it has a internal lock on the phone and I couldn’t go into my settings and unlock it, change some of the settings without that passcode and I am unable to change the passcode and put my own passcode on it..... it’s a nice looking working phone besides the passcode problem, from previous owner.

    The phone wouldn't power on, I was afraid I was doing something wrong but could not figure it out. I had scheduled my return when I decided to look inside at the battery and found it the seller had put plastic between the battery and phone. So I updated my review from one to 5 stars ~ it was my fault for not ooking further before rating.
    So far, I'm only on day 2 of phone, but its working great.
    Will update if that changes.

    4.0 out of 5 stars It works but has some issues.
    Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    I got it for my dad who is hard of hearing. It's louder than most phones but still not loud enough. It's durable but also has unneeded features like the buttons on the front and the PTT button on the side. You can't disable them. My dad is constantly pressing them by accident pulling the phone out of his pocket. Also, the headset isn't very loud either during a call. And the charge port is micro-usb so it's brittle by default and it's not an easily accessible port due to it being recessed to make room for the "flap" that covers it. Also, for some reason, it's bat life isn't the best either. Flip phones used to last at least a week but this one barely lasts a full day of normal use. I'm tech savvy and have looked at all the features and turned off any that my dad will never use and it's still bad bat life.
    If you need a cell phone with a fog-horn going off when it rings like I do, this isn't it. If you want a semi-loud phone vs most and you need something durable, give this a shot.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Good tough phone
    Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2017

    A good tough phone that has done well through some pretty rough handling. I believe this is the 3rd time we've bought this phone. My husband is very hard on phones and these have always taken a good beating and mostly survived. A dive into a bucket of kerosene killed one (although it sort of functioned for awhile). A 2-story drop onto rock killed another. One survived an excavator driving over it (not sure how). The other plus is that you can make the fonts really big which is what older folks out in the field really like. No fumbling for glasses just to see what time it is or who is calling.

    I paid for Prime Membership in order to receive my orders within 2 days. However, this phone was delivered on the third day. This is the second time Amazon Prime shipped my orders late.

    I bought this phone two months ago because I was tired of having to google things for other people, the feeling of terror after dropping my fancy phone on the ground, having to charge my phone every day yet still having it die, and overall wasting my life reading useless snapchat articles and stalking others on instagram feeds. I love this phone sooooo much and it works wonders providing you have an expanding micro sd card (it supports my16 gig micro sd card very well). I have gone around 5 days without charging my phone before it dying and it plays music amazingly! They are so fun to flip open and closed and vital for pretending to text someone to avoid another. -Account owner's child

    I purchased two of these phones because we had these phones and they are great When I went to activate them I couldn't. Verizon told me they quit activating 3g phones in December 2020. The ad said if you already had an account with Verizon they would activate it. WRONG! I bought Two phones and two battery's. Lucky me I can't use either.
