I HAVE HAD THE PHONE FOR 6 MONTHS,AND I USE IT FOR LONG CONVERSATIONS SO I DO PUT SOME STRESS ON IT.I AM OVER ALL SATISFIED WITH THIS PHONE.I HAVE HAD 4 PREVIOUSLY,AND THIS ONE HAS SHOWN IT CAN STAND UP TO MY ABUSE.
PROS:YOU CAN CHOOSE FROM MANY PLANS AND SERVICES,AND INCLUDE INTERNET FOR VERY LITTLE.
CONS:BATTERY LIFE ON CHARGE IS SHORT,CANNOT TALK DURING CHARGING(PHONE WILL STILL DIE),& CAN DELAY IN ARRIVAL OF VOICE MAILS.
THE PHONE IS A GREAT STARTER FOR A YOUNG ADULT!GREAT FOR COLLEGE KIDS BECAUSE IT HAS MONTHLY,AND MINUTE PLANS SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO SIGH A CONTRACT.
The virgin mobile oystr, is not the fanciest phone on the market, but it works great for standard uses. Ringtones sound excellents, and I have never had a dropped call. You can even check how much money you have in your account from your phone, in addition to that, you can download new ringtones, or just browse the web. Text messaging is the easy way to go with the amazing back lit display. - The virgin mobile oystr is a good phone if you want to use it for the average talker.
