Downloads takes up too much space on the phone and will save on SD card. With the space taken up on the phone, there is no room for updates. Overall it is a good phone if you are on a strict budget but one I get a job, I will be on contract.
Bought this phone for my daughters birthday and she loved this phone. She is 22 and in college her prior phone was a flip phone so to upgrade to this phone was big for her. With the cost of college she couldn't afford a hi tec phone. The cost of this one that came with a $45.00 phone card was a great gift for her, thinking about getting one for myself.
We purchased additional memory card for the phone, which cost an additional $20. The phone doesn't have enough memory to hold contacts and run apps. Thank goodness our son is very tech savvy, and is helping us with the phone. We still have not been able to use it after 2 weeks. Would I recommend it? No way.
I purchased this phone for my eleven year old to take with her on vacation. It's very user friendly, it's very speedy and seemed to be working very well. She was thrilled. It's been less than one week and I received a call from her today, stating that it is no longer charging. I will have to wait until she returns to inspect it myself.
Strait talk may be good in certain areas, but in my area it is not. Half of the time i cant get a srong signal or cant get online at all.
We purchased the Straight Talk package and Galaxy phone as it seemed like a great deal. Sometimes paying a little extra is worth it. The phone has no coverage and drops reception in the middle of a call. We downloaded a Facebook app and it took up so much memory on the phone that after three voicemails, we were unable to access the calls. And no further texts could be received or sent until the app was uninstalled. On group text messages, the texts come through individually, so you cannot follow the thread of messages, making it very hard to know what the conversation is about. And the phone has no bells and whistles (not that they are expected on such a cheap phone). You would be better off paying a little extra to get the high quality coverage and phone from Verizon, which we will be switching back to ASAP. We have had the phone for a week and a half and have had nothing but issues since we received it. Save your money on this item and get a better service plan.
I originally intended to buy a 45.00 straight talk wireless phone card to activate a BYOP phone but I saw this ""deal"" of a phone and the 45.00 card together for only 49.95 WOW get a card and a back up phone for like 5.00 extra, what a deal. I was so stupid anyway, I discovered that even though straight talk's web site claimed my own phone (Samsung galaxy indulge sch-r910) was approved for use in the BYOP promotion, it wouldn't work so I was disappointed but I had the backup Samsung precedent I'd have to be happy with that. after much hair pulling I finally managed to get my newly activated service transferred to the Samsung precedent and though I was all good. what followed was one disappointment after another using wifi I installed the facebook app and eBay app (storage space is low) WHAT, I only installed 2 small apps. then ping, ping, ping several incoming text messages were rejected. it said because low storage space but the settings said the 2gb SD card was empty. turns out the phone comes with so little memory (much of which is taken up by preinstalled apps that can't be removed) that you can't install any apps of your own. if you do it will max out your tiny memory and sms/mms won't work. I even tried the app app2sd but most apps can't be moved to SD and even the ones that can have to install on the phone first. now I ask you, what good is an android smart phone if you can't install apps and you can't hold more then a few text messages? but wait it gets better, when I tried to talk to a friend by phone the signal was so weak and static filled that I couldn't understand them and finally lost the signal completely (this in the area code the phone was activated to work in) and when I turned off wifi and tried to use the WAP data internet it was so slow it took 2 minutes for Google's mobile formatted home page to load TWO MINUTES! this isn't 3G it's not even 2G the internet on this thing is PARCEL POST! so: PRO: it only cost me $5.00 for the phone CON the phone (talk) doesn't work, text doesn't work, internet doesn't work, you can't install apps, you can't import contacts, you can't save your text messages, you can't ANYTHING!!! basically anything you might want an android phone for, forget doing it with this phone. this is the absolute worst phone I've ever used (and I'd been a cricket customer since 2005) oh, and if you want customer service from straight talk? don't bother, they don't want to help you, they don't know how to help you and they just give you the runaround until you give up and go away. I would not suggest this phone to my worst enemy, let alone anyone I liked. if it was free, I'd still want my money back. as soon as this 30 day plan card runs out I'm switching back to cricket, straight talk is Trash. p.s. the attached picture was taken less then an hour after activation of the Samsung precedent and only 2 apps installed and just under 300 contacts (name and number only no pix or other data) imported via Bluetooth from a Motorola hint
I guess you get what you pay for. I spent 2 hours on the phone just trying to get the phone to activate then the contacts didnt work. It still has barely any signal and constantly thinks its charging then not over and over again so it vibrates every time. It has gotten so back that i have to turn the phone off while im at work. i need a phone so im not returning it because its the cheapest smart phone ever but unless you really need a smart phone dont buy it. its not worth it!
We received a phone that was faulty, and were told by the Straight Talk rep to send it in for a new one. We sent the phone back, and have not received the new one, and I got an email reply saying they can't even find the information.
the phone does not work properly. The screen freezes up and will not allow me to scroll. I will be returning this item.
