A great little phone for people with simple needs, like me.
First of all, I wish to point out that the Pantech Pocket is an old phone, released around 2012 or so. Hence, thetechnology will be outdated. Be aware of this before purchasing the phone. I was very fortunate to find a third-partyseller on Amazon who sold me this phone very cheaply yet in very good condition in early 2017, and for my purposes, it isa good phone.As a phone, it still works just fine. Furthermore, unlike most old phones of its age, the Pantech Pocket connects via3g/4g technology, so if you wish to use it as a feature phone, it is basically future-proof for years. You just need amini-Sim; most phones now have a nano-SIM, so you may need to use an adaptor.The Pantech Pocket connects to internet through data or Wi-Fi as well, and the browser works very well and is quite fast.I had no trouble at all visiting my regular websites. Just make sure your time on the phone is accurate for your timezone to avoid "expired certificate" messages due to incorrect clock time.Media works fine. You can listen to music and watch videos, although bigger videos may not play due to the phone'slimited memory. There's a 3.5mm headphone jack, too. I had no problems watching any youtube videos, either. Just keep in mind resolution is standard for 5 years ago, NOT for today's expectations.The battery life is good. The battery is removable as well! My phone easily lasts a day at work with plenty to spare.Stand-by should last a week if not more. I use the Pantech Pocket mostly for e-reading 1-2 hours daily, in which case thephone lasts over 3 days before needing a charge.The phone uses Android (2.3.4), also known as Gingerbread. I do not believe you can load the amazon marketplace app onit. Nor, for that matter, does the current Kindle app support this phone. Furthermore, the Google Playstore (known asthe Android Market on this phone), will not work either, as Google no longer supports Gingerbread. So, if modern apps areimportant to you, don't get this phone.If you DO get the Pantech Pocket anyway, there are still available apps, albeit outdated ones. You won't be able to getthem from Amazon or Google, but there are other market websites which offer the older APK files for download. Find one ortwo that you trust, and you're set. The trick is to find an APK that works on Gingerbread. There are available e-readers, cache cleaners, launchers, etc.My Pantech Pocket is a great epub reader. The volume buttons can be used to flip pages. Outdoors reading is okay inshade, but you might have trouble in direct sunlight.Oddly enough, this phone was considered too big back in the day. Compared to modern smartphones, it is much smaller,easily one-hand usable, and very sturdy. The back cover curves over the front of the phone, thereby protecting the screenshould you drop the phone by accident face-down. In fact, you don't need any extra cover for this phone; feel confidentto use it without any extra protection.So...if you want a phone that will work for years to come as a feature phone, won't break or crack with a simple drop, easy to grip, does well with very simple apps, can still access internet just fine, is very inexpensive, and is a great e-reader, the Pantech Pocket is a good choice.If you want games and apps and Android Nougat or a superb ecosystem, this is not the phone for you.

I’m wondering why these were even for sale
I bought these phone so I use them instead of my iPhone 12. My phone is being hacked and I had one of these old phone and I was able to take the battery and SIM card out and put it away until I needed it. Now AT&T will not provide service to theses 4g and 3 g phones. It was a waste of my money and time. At &t are getting rid of their 3 g towers. I don’t know why Amazon is allowing these to be sold when they are discontinuing all 3 g phones

i have had cellphones that will accept 7 or 8 bluetooth devices. this one only accepts a measly 3 and not very easily either. takes some time to actually add a new bluetooth device. otherwise a reasonably good phone.

Great little phone
Great little phone, purchased for my almost 70 year old mother. The size of the screen and ability to increase the size of the font made this a no brainer. Also has an easy mode!! win-win. Only problem now is............she can text me constantly!!!

Good Phone!
