So far good phone delivery is a major issue

Lora · 1 month ago

So far the phone is good. My issue was more with its delivery. I paid extra to have it delivered in 24 hours by FedEx. It turned up three days later. Also I spent over an hour on the phone with a very helpful person at Verizon address of delivery changed and it ultimately arrived at the original address even though I had been assured that it would go to the new address

Can't review what was never received, but the two before this were good

M March · 3 months ago

Never received as it got stuck in the system and almost 15 hrs of waiting to get the order cancelled

Great price and works great for what I need

Butch · 4 months ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

My previous phone 8 no longer was receiving security updates so I had to upgrade. The se 3 is basically the same phone with upgraded processor and camera. To make it better I took advantage of a promotion and only paid the change fee and taxes for the phone. The phone is like new, 100% battery health and no scratches or dents.

Can't get the phone

Justin · 5 months ago

This phone has still not shipped to me 12 days after you billed it to my account. Very frustrating.

Finger print doesn’t read.

Gjmr · 5 months ago

The phone transferred information well. The problem I have is the touch button doesn’t pick up my finger print and I have to manually sign in on my apps.
