I bought the phone for its price and color. I am pleased with those things. As far as acutally using the phone goes it leave a bit to be desired. The phone has tons of static in the background which often makes hearing people difficult. turning the volume up simply turns the static up, leaving the other persons voice at nearly the same volume which doesnt really help hearing... if you buy this phone, get used to yelling and saying "what? i cant hear you! what? you want dinner with Charo? what??"
