Has a Major Design Flaw but Is Durable and Reliable as All Get Out
So this phone has literally lasted me for a year and a half now. Even though I have dropped it at least once a day and the screen is totally cracked majorly. It still works! It is a very durable phone, easy to use and is relatively fast for a lower end phone. My phone does pretty much everything an I phone will do or any of the higher end androids. The only complaint I have about the phone, and it is a very annoying complaint, is that whenever you put the phone to your ear to talk, it hits several buttons in the background. My phone dials voicemail randomly in the middle of calls, pulls up camera, internet, texting , it will get set to airplane mode.... all with my ear. Super annoying. Super inconvenient. I set a pattern lock on my home screen and now cannot get it off. It tells me I must be an administrator. Well I think I am..... but at any rate..... I find paying 50.00 for a phone that does pretty much everything I need it to. holds plenty of apps. great with google maps, uber, fast internet, is just a pleasure. One i am happy to repeat with my next phone which will be another Alcatel phone. I give 3 stars because of the ear dialing issue. I hope they have fixed this on their newer models. Will find out!

Amazing phone for the price! Excellent, like new condition.
Love this phone and it's worth every penny. Amazing styling, great feel and great looks. A lot of phone for a great price and I actually would expect this phone to cost a lot more. This isn't going to be the best phone out on the market, and as you may know, there are a lot of better phones out there, but you're going to be spending a lot more money, too. Substantial storage amount with 16G phone storage and I've added a 32G card with no issues - plenty of room for pics, music and more. Out of the box, the phone looked exactly as pictured. Even though the item was refurbished, it looked brand new. No marks, scuffs, or any signs of wear - absolutely beautiful. Shipping was super fast and received the phone a lot sooner than expected. The phone operates flawlessly and there are no functional issues. Plugged in my sim card (Tracfone), and powered it right up and was using the phone within minutes. Super easy to register with Tracfone, and guessing if you're planning on using another service provider, no issues as well - the phone seems relatively universal. Once powered on, Android did a system update to 5.1.1 and many of the aps updated, too. The operation is extremely smooth and the display is fabulous. Again, more phone than what you're paying; and the speakers/sound is great, too. I was actually surprised on the quality. The phone was previously a Metro PCS phone, but once I plugged in my sim card, it instantly changed to the new service. There are a few pre-loaded Metro PCS aps, but if you don't need/want, you're able to disable into the background with no issues. Overall, a great buy and for $70, it's a steal. Comparable phones are easily twice as much.

Slow Network Speed? Problem Solved!
I love this phone! It has solved all of the problems I was having with network compatibility I was experiencing with the Nokia 640 XL. My Nokia had suddenly slowed down to modem access speed. The only thing I was missing was the noise. I now have speedy LTE access at all times. I can stream video and music, access the internet and, most importantly, use navigation (I am a Wazer) applications without problems. With the Nokia, I was experiencing slow-downs, dropped calls and network disconnections on both cellular and wifi networks - even at home! The most dangerous problems were with navigation. I would get directions so slowly that I would miss turns - if I got any directions at all.The Alcatel One Touch Fierce XL will unfortunately likely be my last Windows phone, considering Microsoft's decision to ever so gradually withdraw its support of the platform. For starters, they have ceased manufacturing hardware. However, as long as the system is supported, I will continue using Windows phones, and I can see Alcatel being the brand of choice for me.So what do I like in addition to my network speeds? I like the quality of sound. I seldom use the camera, because I am a photographer and would rather carry my Panasonic Lumix GX-8 than rely on my phone. However, the quality of the images created with the phone are acceptable. I have used it as a hotspot and it is reliable for that function.If you love the Windows OS and want to continue using the phone platform despite its deficit of applications, you will love using this phone.
