The phone is useless I can't have a long enough conversation without the other person cutting out or even my voice not getting clearly enough to the other person I am a paying member as I locked in the number for the year. The only thing I can use this for is texting I can't even use it in an emergency but I have no other options because I'm disabled and poor so I have to have the most cheapest phone plan possible and all the other big companies cost too much so I guess it just is what it is.
