I wish it had 4g LTE. It works good until you put it next to a LTE phone. I have had this phone longer than any other, 16 months. I carry only one device to do it all. Wishing there was an upgrade but there are no other 8" phones coming. Six months from now I may fall back to Nexus 6 & 9. I took my ATT sim out of Note 3 and plugged it in and was making calls. Works great, awesome device.

Fast enough for gaming and other stuff... Should be fast for the "YT"... I don't know what it is by the way... If it is YouTube then yes it is quite good for that.

I was most interested in bluetooth.... SO I purchased the 285 W/WT, what is the cost of the MSN Direct. How do buyers like the traffic information? Don't you think another provider will step in when MSN Direct stops???

I have used it on simple mobile here in Los Angeles since the model was introduced few years ago. It works really well for me. SMS, mms, Internet and calls are all good, camera takes very nice pics, and pandora streams all day long...

Skype is great on this device, If you have Comcast, you can use their Xfinity Connect w\Voice - that works great as well. Vtok (free google voice+ free #, the app is not that great) works ok but has some noticeable latency but none more than any of my other android devices with it really. Overall good extension to use as an ext phone.

I actually went into a TMo store today before going to the gym, to switch from ATT and check out the $10 internet plan (with the 500 talk for $29/mo). I purposely left my phone in the car, so when they asked for it I said I didn't have it with me, that it was an old Nokia, which later made them scan another cell box for activation. I got so excited - how easy it was, that I didnt even go to the gym but drove back home to config the internet - and WOW! I have a super cheap unlimited 3-f__ken-G!!!!!!!!!!!! I went for a workout right after and now I can listen to internet radio stream, instead of the stupid crap they play at the gym. That sonovab!+ch KELLY - THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!

If you intend to watch videos on your device, you will eat all your data in no time and pay a fortune. I bought 4 gigs and used my device on a 30-day trip for lesser data-consuming tasks like music, email and facebook (no vids) and used about half that, mainly by taking advantage of any wireless services we had available (hotels, restaurants) along the way. It all depends on your usage; it's no substitute for a wireless modem, tho.

Just had live chat with a VerizonWireless rep. My old flip phone bit the dust. I said I was being given a Samsung Convoy and where to activate. (I want a flip phone, don't need all the bells & whistles.) Had no hassles about my decision & got info I needed. Just add to existing contract no prob, supposedly.

I've had this phone for less than a month but so far, I've had no issues.I opted to buy from Amazon instead of Virgin Mobile because it was $50 cheaper.I have not regretted that decision. Shipping was swift and Virgin Mobile had no issues activating the phone.Keep in mind; you will need to purchase a micro SD card for memory if you plan to store music, apps, and/or lots of photos and videos. I recommend getting this at the same time as your phone. Short answer: totally satisfied with this phone.

It is absolutely very easy to use, and yes, you can post instantly to facebook or email. Very easy to use mobillink as well, which is my preference. Enjoy!!

Yes, it work with T-Mobile and it's pretty fast. https://twitter.com/jlinnation/status/530986477350432768However, don't expect to do any major uploading / downloading with it. T-mobile restricts you and will cut your connection on purpose if you try to download or upload a certain amounts of MB. I was cut off at about 50mb.

I'm on the same $25 a month plan. Have been since 2012. I just bought this phone to replace my old one, and I was able to keep the same $25 plan (300 anytime minutes, unlimited text & web/data). Best phone & plan around if you don't require a lot of fancy apps or memory storage like me. Works great for texting, browsing google, and streaming youtube. Camera could be a little better, but you get what you pay for.

It works great on the T-Mobile network. My son is using extensively for talking, texting and facetiming with his girlfriend.

It's working greatly to me. I'm a small business owner. This phone has some great technology features such as Bluetooth etc. I'm highly recommending.CheersAlbert

Personally, I don't use Tap N Tap's main screen, I use the base Android widget grid, and the current release works fine. A 3rd party ROM might be faster, but I don't have any complaints about speed at this point.I loaded up Amazon Appstore instead of a hacked Google Market, and have been able to find apps there very successfully, though the selection isn't as broad as Google's yet.

I am currently using T Mobiles service here in Oregon USA on my I9305 and works just like any other phone when placing or receiving calls or texting. Although when using data, all I have been getting is Edge speeds only. I can still manage to surf the Web or even use maps for directions when driving. My brother has the Samsung s3 from Verizon which does not have the latest updates that mine has. My I9305 seems to have updates that are yet not available on my brothers phone. Hope this helps.

The options are limitless. You're only using it mobily? Is that your priority? Give as many details as possible of your use preferences so I can try to help you out. Good luck
