Great basic phone.  I have had it now for about two weeks and it works as advertised.  Tough no nonsense phone, that will stand up to some abouse.  I am hard on phones and have made this my primary phone.  Found out about this phone from a CNN article on "Zombie Phones" or rather emergency phones.  My old phone had trouble getting a signal and service was ok, this phone always has at least 2-3 bars of service when my other phone had no signal.  Battery life is decent right now it is 5-6 days but I think I can increase that by training the battery by letting run all the way down and then recharging it.  This phone does what was promised.  No bells and whistles, very limited texting ability, but good for making and recieveing calls.  For the price I recommend this to anyone.
