GOOD PHONE.

ONE OF THE BEST THINGS ABOUT THE GUSTO 3 IS THAT IT HAS MORE SIGNAL BARS FOR A STRONGER SIGNAL THAN THE PNONES BEFORE THIS ONE, IT IS NOT A SMART PHONE, HOWEVER, FOR WHAT IT DOES DO, IT IS A GOOD PHONE, HOWEVER, HAS BEEN KNOWN FOR LONG TERM PROBLES, BUT ONLY SOMETIMES HAVE THESE SET BACKS, MOST OF THE TIMES THE PHONE PERFORMS VERY WELL.

Great phone for the buck!!!!

I live in a very remote area, an the only cell service I can get is Verizon. So, I did some research. this phone is offered on the verizon web site for $ 5o, so getting it here for this low price is great. I got mine super fast, turned it on, and the phone itself walked me through the registration process. It was super easy. the phone itself is great too. I charge it like once every two weeks if I don't use it. I only use mine very rarely, so its nice that the battery does not constantly die.

Good phone for using as a delivery driver

Good phone for using as a delivery driver. There are many times I have to call the person accepting the delivery..so not having to use my personal phone works out for me..its only for verizon but for 15 bucks a month prepaid Im getting unlimited calls

Perfect little pre-pay phone.

If you are looking for a simple phone, this is it. This is a pre-pay phone only. But, Verizon was able to put it on a auto-pay. Check with Verizon. There may be a better model to get for auto-pay. It's not the same as pre-pay. I like it because it is so nice and small. I don't like carrying around a TV set...LOL

If you currently have a prepay plan you can transfer it but not online...

When you try to activate it online it, tells you that you HAVE to get a expensive monthly prepaid plan. I contacted the person in the message box and they were able to set up pay as you go and transfer my balance to the current phone. This is the second of these phones I had. The first one survived an soaking in the sink, finally the charge port stopped working. Had it for almost 3 years.....

Great basic phone. No frills

This is a very basic phone, works very well as just a phone. Great voice quality. Best bars for connection on verizon. But..it just a phone.

I purchased this product from ProxWireless, and I initially ...

I purchased this product from ProxWireless, and I initially received a defective phone. However, all I had to do was mention this to ProxWireless and within 2 days I had a new functioning phone, free of charge or hassle.

Return to the simple cell phone

I got this phone to replace my "thinks it's so smart" phone. It does everything I want: 250 + contacts with speed dial. Much better voice quality than my smart phone had. Voice text. turn by turn driving directions. Camera (I could care less). Small enough to fit in my pocket. Charge lasts for two plus weeks

I like this phone better than either of its predecessors

This is my 3rd phone for use on Verizon. Previous were the LG flip phone used with a Verizon family and then the LG Cosmos 2, used on the pay as you go plan I now use. I like this phone better than either of its predecessors. The LG flip phone had smaller keyboard buttons, while the functionality of both of the Cosmos 2's keyboards failed. Like the previous reviewer here, I have dropped this phone once about 3 feet onto a wooden floor and it suffered no ill effects. Not a lot of bells and whistles, but it works flawlessly as a basic phone. Has a nice quick access to emergency call numbers that both of the other phones lacked. A side note: the Verizon pay as you go plan is a suitable cheap plan if you very rarely make calls - if you call a lot it it can easily run up to more than regular plans. Second side note: a full users manual is on line here: http://cache.vzw.com/multimedia/mim/samsung-gusto-3/basic-samsung-gusto-3-ug.pdf If you know the correct name of the feature you want to explore, you can search for it using the control/f keyboard shortcut.

Easy renewed phone

Phone appeared to,be brand new, in original packaging. A Verizon Basic Phone, to replace a lost phone, and it was installed and running on the original account in 10 minutes using Verizon's robot installer!! I am so grateful that it didn't take the hours of agony that I was expecting. Sound is excellent, much clearer than the old phone. And, finally, the buttons are all new and legible, as expected (ha-ha).
