This phone is terrible. I've only had the phone for a
month and already the battery is dying. The phone
only lasts for about 5 hours before it needs to be
plugged in and the charger takes forever. I called
customer service and had to wait on hold for over an
hour. Then the representative was rude and
unhelpful. Today, the screen stopped working. This
phone has been a huge hassle and a waste of money.
