If you love Samsung phones but can't afford the latest this works just as well. It's like the Samsung Galaxy S6 just not with the price tag! Love my new phone and it didn't cost me an arm and a leg. Will definitely buy from this seller again:)

The SIM card that it came with cannot be activated, I had to buy a card from the cricket website to use the service. The phone itself is decent enough.

This phone met all of my expectations. It was compatible with my fit bit zip; which was a plus! The picture quality is also better than my old cell phone.

We bought one. Didn’t work. Bad SIM card Sent it back. Ordered same again. SIM card was also defective. Went cricket store and they confirmed defective SIM card. Replaced it and phone now works. Not a happy camper right now. Rev Dr Paul Boger

I posted a negative review on the wrong post, this arrived and we love it. The case we ordered did not.

Long story short, not recommended until the phone gets root; save your $50 - $100 and buy a different phone worth the money. As per usual, these phone companies (in this case, Cricket and Samsung) advertise 8GB of space, but you will get no where near that. Since we're not naive enough to believe that we'd get access to all 8GB of the advertised amount, we should be able to assume that we'd have access to a decent portion of that space for, at the very least, apps. However, upon first boot, you'll unfortunately find that the OS and bloatware that comes from both Cricket and Samsung takes up around 6.5GB of that advertised 8GB. A few of the bloatware apps can be uninstalled, but a large portion of the apps can only be "turned off" but never removed. This may, if you're lucky, open up about half of a gigabyte. However, that said, I had already maxed out all the available space with two days of owning the phone with nothing more than just apps that I find necessary--not even talking about fun or superfluous apps here. You might say to yourself, "It's no problem, this phone can take a whopping 128GB memory card!". And you'd be right; it can take a 128GB memory card (which frankly, is why I even bought it), which would make this phone perfect as is, if only Cricket/Samsung left in the ability to use the memory card as extended internal space--but they didn't, and so you can't! Since you can't, this makes the phone's ability to handle a memory card of that size all but useless. You can put a lot of photos and videos and whatever other files you like to keep on your phone on the capably large memory card, but that's about the extent of it. If you're not yet convinced, you might be thinking that you can just move the apps manually, one at a time, to the memory card. You'll find yourself heartbroken yet again, as you realize that (obviously) the bloatware you can't remove cannot be moved over to the memory card and, for some absolutely unknown yet undoubtedly stupid reason, most app developers don't allow or bother including the feature that allows you to move their apps to the memory card--apps that have no clear reasoning for needing to be on the internal memory at all! This phone would actually be fantastic if it was "rootable": the phone has a beautiful and bright AMOLED screen; it's blazing fast with little to no lag; the battery life on it is amazing (I was able to actually use it constantly for two whole days before needing to charge it). But since the phone is so new, no root has been found for it and probably won't in time for this phone to be worth your time. And since you can't fix Cricket and Samsung's intentionally disabled phone, you'll be stuck with it, filled with regret that you didn't just buy something better. This phone is simply not recommended at all. It's a great piece of hardware as a great price, but Cricket and Samsung have gone our of their way to disable the phone, rendering this seemingly great phone into a piece of garbage. It would be good for old folks and as a temporary back-up phone after you get stuck with it because you were too lazy to take the phone back before your 15 day return period was up. Take my advice: look elsewhere.

It was great!
Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2019 by Ianavenus
(I modified this on 8/19/2016 from 5 stars to 3 stars ... see bottom of the review why) ... First, I wanted to say that E.S. Stewart posted a great review here: https://www.amazon.com/review/R2K3NYMWLCMA3Q/ref=cm_cr_dp_title?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B01F48EWRO&channel=detail-glance&nodeID=2335752011&store=wireless He was spot on. Unless you wanted to use this as a burner phone, or you won't download more than a few apps, it probably wasn't going to satisfy you. But, things have changed since his review. Or really, I'm not sure if he caught the news that people complained about the Samsung Galaxy S7 having it's adoptable storage turned off (by Samsung), but people figured out a way to turn this on without rooting the phone. Well, this same fix for the S7 is also possible for the Samsung Galaxy Sol. All you have to do is follow these instructions: [...] I didn't want to try and figure out how to root the phone, which would be a much more time-intensive endeavor (and that's if it's even possible right now). The solution I speak of, all it requires is the download of Android's ADB utility (think of it like the Windows Command Prompt, but instead a Command Prompt to manipulate the computer on your phone). I had an old Windows 7 laptop, and the easiest thing for me was to follow the advice of this article here: [...] From that article you download ADB and install it on your computer. Also, you must turn on USB debugging from your phone by turning on the developer options (this is really easy to do - a simple google will tell you how to turn on the developer options - it's fairly simple). The one issue I had was that ADB did not recognize the Samsung Galaxy Sol because of driver issues. The first command they want you to run from the ADB "command prompt" is "adb shell" (no quotes). And it wouldn't even start as I would get an error describing that it couldn't find the device or emulator. If you look in your Windows Device Manager, if the drivers are correct, the Sol will show up as an Android Composite ADB Interface under the topic "Android Phone". I think the default driver Windows originally installed was some generic driver under the topic "Portable Device". This link was tremendous help for me: [...] The solution for me (and I think this is also an option I could change under the newly turned on developer options for my phone) was to set the transfer mode to Camera (PTP). Next thing you know, Windows took over, went through Windows Update, and found the Samsung Galaxy Sol driver. Once I could actually communicate with the phone by typing in adb shell (as I mentioned previously), it is super simple. You list the disks on the device, and then you partition the device using that device ID (it is a series of two commands). Done! Now my internal memory includes my SD Card (I purchased a 32 GB card - they need to be class 10 UHS-1, I got a really nice Samsung PRO on clearance). So when I look at my Storage on my phone, I now see 32 GB used of 64 GB. And it lists both the Internal Memory (6.5 GB used of 8 GB) and my SD Card (a few MB of 32 GB). Even though it lists both separately, neither is portable storage, as evident by the "32 GB used of 64GB" headline. I downloaded a bunch of apps to test it all out and they all just go to the SD Card. So think about this. I have an 8 year old and a 10 year old, and I just bought them, effectively, 40 GB "Ipods", for about $55 each. I don't use the SIM card that Cricket gives you, I just use the phone. I paid $40 for each phone (they were on-sale at Best Buy for $49.99, and when changing around something with my order, I got them somehow for $40 even) and $13 for each 32 GB Samsung PRO micro SD card (I wanted really fast reads/writes). My kids can listen to music, play tons of apps including Pokemon GO, watch youtube, and over the wi-fi they can text me or call me or "face time" me using Facebook Messenger. I also set up a Google Voice Phone Number and downloaded the Google Voice app. If the other person doesn't have Facebook Messenger, that's OK, through Google Voice you can SMS (text) any phone. The other person don't have to download anything. This is great! Again, it took a little effort, but a couple of quick commands (and my links should be of great help), and I've got a $55 40 GB "Android iPod". .... Modification on 8/19/2016 begins here (I modified to 3 stars): From monitoring my daughters usage for a while, I think this adoptable storage is working, but there is still an issue ... if the app you download won't allow it to be installed to the SD Card, it will go to Internal Storage (just as that great review mentioned, though I was hoping the adoptable storage would just allow us to force it). So what I see on my 7 year old's phone (and she downloads stuff willy-nilly, there must be like 50+ apps on there now), is that if the app allows it, it will go to the SD Card first, if it doesn't allow it, it goes to internal memory. Most apps allow you to go to SD card, but there are a lot that don't (but luckily most of those were these crummy "cake pop", and "calls with santa", and other crap she downloads). I've been careful about deleting most of these, but allowing her to keep a couple (like youtube for kids, and musical.ly - both won't give the option for SD Card and have to go to internal memory). So we are basically at around 6.3 GB of internal memory used so far. The SD Card now has about 5 GB on it. I figure if I can keep the internal memory under 7GB used, we will be good (though I'm sure you could get up to 7.5GB before issues). It was at 7.8GB last night when I tried to install just the update to musical.ly, and it wouldn't even allow that! Not enough space to download first, I guess. After deleting some apps, that's how I got it back down to 6.3GB. Both of my girls phones are in the 6.3-6.5GB range still (internal) - and as I mentioned, they sure love downloading anything from the play store. You just have to be cautious about the apps that won't go to SD Card. In any event, both my girls are still excited over these phones, love them, and they don't notice what I do, and haven't missed the apps they allowed me to delete. Did I mention that they love these phones!? :) Also, another instruction I forgot to mention earlier was this: After adopting the SD Card as storage, you want to go to "Storage" under settings ... there you will see that all the memory is treated as one (SD Card is no longer classified as portable storage), but they are still separate line-items under Storage. So if you select the SD Card, once you do that, you want to "migrate the data" over from the Internal Memory. Do that before downloading anything.... I think that sort of kicks off the auto-feature of adoptable storage where it will try to always go to SD Card first. Regardless, this is what helps keep me in the 6.5GB "used" range.
