AT&T PREPAID Alcatel idealXCITE 8GB Prepaid Smartphone, Black

I also got it for the $15 Black Friday deal. I have great JVC Marshmallow Headphones and using PI music app. Sounds wonderful because the 128GB card lets me hold uncompressed Flac files. Its much slower than a high end phone, but hey, i saved $685. I think I can live with it. Still faster than low end phone. Better than the Alcatel Ideal, which has a better chipset? Go figure. the only real problems i have with the phone are bloatware I cant uninstall and will never used. But even more so than AT&T's choices are that google is relentless in trying to shove new apps and updates on you that slam the megear 16GB installed ram. Constantly of of room. Other than that I'm pretty happy. Find a quality "app to SD" app and move what apps you can to SD card to keep it running smooth.

Bought while on sale for $15. It's being used only as a wifi tablet for kids so can't comment about the call quality/signal strength or AT&T services. It's cheaper than an official tablet. Kids love it! :D

I think it's great. Then again I haven't had an iphone. but then again I haven't paid for an iphone either. I found a case on ebay. Although I did get one from Amazon and have to send it back because it does not fit. Try Ebay. You don't have to have a data plan on AT&T to use this phone. I only use WiFi for the internet and the phone signal for texting and whatever. My old flip phone was obsolete and the typing was a real chore. This makes it much easier.

i love the display! my spouse says this is an android iphone. when i switched my stuff from my huawei phablet, i downloaded an at&t app then used the scanner to collect the information. this has a vpn on it, too. there are all types of apps,and there's room for sd card. the only think i HATE is the battery. my phablet has me spoiled with the battery that never dies. the alcatel needs charging every day! i'm going back to my huawei and super battery.

I had lost my California Lifeline phone and my service provider (Airvoice,) told me I had to get an AT&T Go Phone because their SIM cards are only compatible with the Go Phone. So I found one on Walmart's online shopping thing, and ordered it. It arrive in a decent amount of time (as scheduled.) However; after activating the phone with the Airvoice SIM card I couldn't access my data. After contacting Airvoice I learned that Walmart had not provided a "Point of Sale Acknowledgement, and that the AT&T thing had been suspended. Other than that the phone phone works well, and meets my needs. My suggestion is to not buy this or any other phone through the online process.

The phone itself is pretty good. A lot different from my last phone. I bought it because it was inexpensive, had the newest Android system, and it was a little bugger than my old phone. The thing I don't like about it, is you cannot find a case for it. The Alcatel website doesn't even have this model on their site. None of the cases available for any Alcatel will fit it. I also cannot figure out how to get the caps to lock. But for the price it does what I need it to do.

This is a great phone for calls. Texting, still pretty good. It's very slow, so I find myself getting frustrated while it catches up with me. Very little memory. Even adding an SD card will NOT allow you to download very many apps - I'm talking more than 2. This is very frustrating. But I got it when my phone was stolen and I no longer had insurance, so...it's a phone. Call quality is very good.

For $14.98 for Black Friday prices I can't be upset at its features but there are more cons than pros to this phone. Pros- I currently use this as an mp3 player and its great for extended memory up to 128 GB, it is bluetooth compatible, Battery life is optimal since I don't use it for daily use & thats about it so far. Cons- This does not come with boosted sound or Dolby features so sound quality is horrible unless you download a separate app and equalize it, even though my wifi is connected and strong I can't watch youtube, Every time I open my lock screen these annoying ads open from google play and can potentially hinder battery life, internal memory is actually about 4-5 GB due to al the AT&T bloatware that you can only disable and not all my songs can be identified even if they are all formatted the same, screen quality is 480p

Has horrible storage!!! I have 2 pictures on my phone, and it always says its full. You also cannot see the screen when you are outside, even with the brightness all the way up. I am only giving it an extra star because it gets the job done. Would recommend to get for a in between phone, but not for anything permanent. I am definitely switching this week.

The phone is slow to load videos and games, even on an excellent WIFI connection. I can count to 4 before the display auto rotates. The touch screen is not as receptive as my previous phone. I still have not found a case for it. I cannot figure out how to adjust the contrast on the phone only the brightness, but videos are not always clear regardless of the brightness level. This could also be attributed to the excessive buffering. You can not beat the price though, and for an in-between phone it does the job.
