(More customer reviews)This is previously a T-Mobile phone. It will work on AT&T when you put a SIM card in.
This phone is good if you have an unlimited text and data plan on it.
If you don't, DO NOT buy this phone.
Here's the problem(s) with it.
I wanted to give it to my daughter to use as a phone and as a text keyboard with no internet access plans on her SIM card.
As soon as you power the phone up, it will launch a software update screen that you cannot delete, bypass, or exit from.
It will access T-Mobile's web site via AT&T internet data plan and commence the update in the background.
The AT&T text package we have comes with "use as you go" data plan which you use when you send pictures only. Usually very negligible data is used monthly for few pictures. However, the Motorola LX launched the software update package in the background and used up 50 Megabytes of data to update itself at $2 per megabytes before I realized what was happening and shut it off then removed the AT&T SIM card.
It does that every time it needs to update itself and you cannot stop it. T-Mobile data and update information is embedded into the phone. This happens regardless of what network you use.
Unlike my Nokia, this phone does not allow you to access your home Wifi so it can be used for the data/software update.
I returned it yesterday.
