Is there anything at all wrong with this phone? I'm trying to get a good phone so I'll have one & does it work with VM's $35 a month plan?

I have had this phone almost a year and have no problems, I have expirenced the phone locking up or freezing but it resets quickly. This was my first smartphone and I really like it. Lots of features and virgin preloads some useful apps, I have no issues with the internet. I am on facebook and check my email daily, the phone connects to wifi easily so you wont go over you data plan, I have the 45 dollar plan with virgin and am happy with their service I left sprint to save some money and get a better plan. Also the keyboard works great no issues with it at all. I bought a case, screen protection, and a car charger all inexpensive from amazon.

It works with VM's $35 plan. Sometimes it just turns off and on, that is kind of annoying. It seems to be lacking in memory so it restarts a bit sometimes, and it has short battery life, other than that I like it. It's my first smartphone.

When first got it was ok but within 4 months time it fell apart. Would keep looking or find a different type

It's a great phone, and works fine on VM's $35 pre-paid plan. The only complaints I might have are, one, it doesn't work to deposit checks with B of A's mobile banking app, and, two, no rear facing cam. I don't Skype or take selfies, so the second is really not a problem for me.

I bought this phone for my daughter and it was alright for a while. She is heavy on social networking, downloading apps, streaming video and music storage, though, so she did eventually need something with more memory. Even with an added SD card it eventually did not keep up with her usage. It is just fine for someone like me who uses another device for music and just checks email, texts, and surfs the web or uses GPS ocassionally. You do need to tighten the tiny screws for the slider now and then or it becomes wobbly. They can be found under the battery.

This is an awesome phone...but I don't think you can get a data plan for it. It does use some data if you want to search for ringtones/ringback tones on it. But you would have to manual go into that function. It's not something that just happens. If you have any problems w/ that, Verizon is great in helping you on what pricing would be if you did wanted that.

I went with AT&T; and I pay monthly, but you can also do a contract. There are other companies out there that use AT&T; networking that you can also use if you're looking for a no contract deal. This phone is small in size and does not com with a sim card, but AT&T; gave me one free when I signed up with them, plus they downloaded all my info. Oh and I should mention this is a AT&T; phone, so u will have to use them, but I'm still very happy with this phone!! Hope this helps!! I would also like to add that this phone does have a back lit keyboard.....I finally figured it out!! LOL

If you are in the US, Cricket (a new AT&T; subsidiary, recently merged with AIO, also an AT&T; subsidiary) or Straight Talk (an AT&T;/T-mobile MVNO sold through Wal-Mart) both offer competitive pre-paid plans with data in the $35 to $45/month range -- and cheaper options, as well. This phone should also work with AT&T; Go-Phone pre-paid service. All T-mobile service is also now no-contract -- both pre-paid and post-paid -- and this phone will work with T-mobile, but the US version will likely be better in most areas. Search Wikipedia for "US MVNOs" -- any that use AT&T; or T-mobile will likely work with this phone.

I canceled my order from amazon a week ago and placed it with mobilecityonline and after a little glitch where my shipping address wasnt on file with my credit card company. but i got the phone, its awesome a bit bigger than i thought it would be but so far does pretty much everything i expected it to be. the edge on it appears to be faster than that of the w810, whats great is i can actually do video conferencing (ichat one way) using my phone as a dial up modem. and its actually clear, not choppy. so its pretty good. also i bought a 1gb micro card from sony's web store, it was the cheapest i could find em. it was only 59$over all a great phone I canceled my order from amazon a week ago and placed it with mobilecityonline and after a little glitch where my shipping address wasnt on file with my credit card company. but i got the phone, its awesome a bit bigger than i thought it would be but so far does pretty much everything i expected it to be. the edge on it appears to be faster than that of the w810, whats great is i can actually do video conferencing (ichat one way) using my phone as a dial up modem. and its actually clear, not choppy. so its pretty good. also i bought a 1gb micro card from sony's web... » Read More I canceled my order from amazon a week ago and placed it with mobilecityonline and after a little glitch where my shipping address wasnt on file with my credit card company. but i got the phone, its awesome a bit bigger than i thought it would be but so far does pretty much everything i expected it to be. the edge on it appears to be faster than that of the w810, whats great is i can actually do video conferencing (ichat one way) using my phone as a dial up modem. and its actually clear, not choppy. so its pretty good. also i bought a 1gb micro card from sony's web store, it was the cheapest i could find em. it was only 59$over all a great phone « Show Less

I can't say for 100% the phone is goin to be good. You should check the rates before buying it.

The phone is fine for calls. No minutes came with my phone. I only use this phone for emergencies. I buy a plan that you can buy in many places including Walmart. I get the 60 day 300 minute plan for a little over $30. My minutes seem to roll over if you don't use them all. If you want to anything besides get and recieve calls something else might be better. I do get a fair number of "wrong number" calls. I assime that someone else had this number not too long ago.

The phone is compatible with AT&T (I'm currently using it on their plan), but not all of the features have been available to me you need to mess around with the Internet apn to make your data work and (you can find that on forums) the mms apn is unavailable, so multimedia messages dont go through. It should be fine internationally.

We have this phone in Virginia USA. It is currently active as a Verizon phone. We have had no problems with the phone or the service. It is used by an elderly person in our family who likes it because of its' simplicity. As to whether or not you can have it connected to a local carrier, we can not give you any solid information that.

Yes. This is the phone I am using and I am on the Virgin Mobile $25 plan. The phone is great for calls and texting, but not much beyond that. (Pictures and Internet access aren't the best.)

I ended up returning it b/c verizon wanted to charge me for the family plan when this isn't a full phone.too expensive & yes I believe it only works with verizon.

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.

I've used it with both the $15 and $35 cards. All that happens with this phone is that the value of the card you choose goes into an account. Your minutes are deducted from that account. If you're asking about the cards for use with data plans, honestly I'd skip this phone and choose a "smarter", faster phone like the Moto G. Good Luck

I use this phone with a net 10 prepay plan and it does all I could ask it to do as a phone , but this is not a smart phone and a long ways from one, I PREPAY THIS PHONE BY THE YEAR, and by doing that it cost me 18.00 per month average but I do all my computing, email, photos, facebook, etc. on my laptop and not my phone, I hope this answers your question.

They sell you more data, it seems to go in $10 increments. The data rates are listed at freedompop.com.They push "premium" accounts with monthly charges and more data, but they don't push too hard.I use it only occasionally, when I travel. Every few months, I get a $10 charge, so very much cheaper than $59 every month I used to pay to Verizon.It seems like it works many places I try it - I don't think any cell data plans work everywhere.I am very pleased with it.

Some people have managed to get it to work... others have not. To be honest, do not buy it. Mine crapped the bed after a month and half. It never worked for me. I just got the Galaxy s4 and not a moments regret. I think it is worth paying double to get it. The V3 was a $200 waste.... or whatever I paid for it.
