I actually like this phone. While it is true that the volume adjustment does need to be turned up all the way, I’ve never had a problem with hearing. All the buttons seem to work fine. The screen does appear to be a little dark or hard to see in the direct sunlight, but setting the adjustments for that seems to have solved the problem. Overall, I think the phone is very functional.

I have this phone currently and I am in process of getting another kind because I cannot see thru the dark cover on the face hardly at all. Also I have it turned up as loud as it goes and I can barely hear it. I do appreciate the speaker phone as that is what I put it on, and still hold it to my ear to hear!!! Do not purchase this phone! I was given mine free and now I know why.

I got this phone for use with my T-Mobile pre-paid plan. It is so hard to hear that you have to have the thing burrowed practically halfway into your ear in order to hear what is being said; if there is any ambient noise at all you pretty much have to put the thing on speakerphone.
The buttons are iffy too, they do not always “take” when you press them. When I answer a call, it’s like rolling a dice: sometimes it goes to the “call in progress” screen, sometimes to my contact list, sometimes to the “save new contact” screen etc etc. If you are calling anything that requires touchpad input (phone menus and so forth), whatever numbers you push remain on the screen after the call is over, you have to push the hang up button a second time to clear them out.
The one good thing about this phone (which cost me $30 without a contract, btw — not sure where amazon got the $199 figure it’s currently showing, there’s no way this thing would ever cost that much) is that it can go for almost a week on a single charge.
This phone works for me (barely) because I just don’t rely heavily on cell phones in general, even for work. If I did I would throw this thing away in a skinny minute.
