Review: Cell phone - It’s hard to use because of my weak knowledge of using it.
Review: First Impression, Great and Prudent - In checking for a phone for my older sister recently admitted to a nursing home, I noticed the unbelievable price of a hone which included a year's service. I was drawn to the features of large buttons; relatively large screen; fast charge and the cradle for holding it--plus no contract. My reluctance at this bargain was reduced by the efficient, patient and courteous assistance offered by an Associate named Ray who answered the questions to me and my sister on the phone I called in on. Set-up was fairly simple--even for me. Admittedly, only a short time has passed. I looked over other Reviews. A couple left something to be desired when a problem arose with the phone; however, most were positive--and these phones appear to meet expectations. For now I am very favorably impressed. If otherwise, watch this space.

### ⭐ Everything Except the "Mobile" Part
*by J***L on March 4, 2024*

Now I know why these gadgets are returned half the time. The phone worked fine, the plan was affordable, but the network didn't cover my area. I don't live in the Yukon wilds or anything, I live in East County San Diego but that was too far out for these guys. The phone worked if I hooked it up to my wifi, then it quit ten feet from the house, making it worthless as an emergency, road-side mobile phone, my #1 concern. They tried to sell me on the idea that a wifi restriction was just fine. like that does me a lot of good when the car blows up on Highway 94. No sale, back it went. One more legitimate complaint. This phone is supposed to be for seniors? Why is the teeny-tiny book of instructions printed in micro-font? I needed a 4x magnifier to read it, and at that, just barely. Good customer service, fast and polite but you know, the phone has to work for that to mean anything. Better the CS was lousy but the phone worked. JDA
