Review: Great buy - It's $40, you can't really complain. Yes it is small, yes it is slow, no it won't run a lot of apps but do you want to know what it will do? It will call and text, it has an okay camera, it will run social media apps and play YouTube videos. As expected and does what it's supposed to for dirt cheap.
Review: Pure garbage - I know this is an inexpensive phone, but there's no excuse for being this slow. And I don't mean for streaming or anything intensive, either. It's just s-l-o-w. Click and wait. Wait. Wait. Even on the most basic features you wait and wait and wait. I often miss calls because the button to accept the call sometimes takes 8+ rings to show up. So frustrating. This might be the fault of my network provider, but it drops calls all the time ("network busy" or "network unavailable"). I still can't figure out how to hang up on voicemail. There's no button. Sometimes it just keeps yacking and yacking until I reboot. Every time I access voicemail, it says it's not set up, but the option to set it up doesn't do anything. Holding it against your face like a normal phone results in all sorts of weird button presses. Sound quality is poor. It works better on speaker held farther away. Ridiculous. Did the developers even try to use this thing? Overall a lousy phone. I'm keeping it because it's simple and marginally useful, but pay a little extra for something that actually works. That said, it's hard to find 4" phones these days, which is my optimal size. --- Update: I downgraded this to one star. This piece of junk doesn't qualify as a phone. I miss a lot of calls because the option to accept them doesn't even appear until 8+ rings in. When it does show up in time, it doesn't work half the time. I press accept over and over while it's ringing, and the button blinks showing I pressed it, but no accept. Pure garbage. Spend a few dollars more and get a real phone.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What size of sim card can it take does it have standard sim slot**
A: Standard sim slot.  While good for the price, this phone is very cheaply made and even feels cheaper.  If you can, spend more for 1-2 models up ($70-$80) and get a by far better phone.

**Q: Are any of these phones 4 g or 5 G ?**
A: This phone 3G not working with Att sim card

**Q: does this support blue tooth**
A: Useless phone

**Q: Will this work with Truconnect wireless?**
A: I am using it on T-Mobile net now.
Is Truconnect use the T-Mobile network?
If so, maybe the phone will work.

Another phone with similar specification (same radio frequencies) has been disallowed access by T-Mobile.  It worked a while after the T-Mobile changeover and then just wouldn't connect.  I mention this because I don't think this Blu model is a 5G phone and I have wondered if it will be orphaned like my other phone.        but so far so good for almost a year now.

That said, I don't use this phone for data.  I turn off the 'data' connection in settings and use it for phone calls and simple texts only.  Both work fine on T-Mobile now.  

The phone is very slow.  I don't think you will use it for tick-tock or the wall.  
Several seconds pass following the click to call up the text 'app'.  etc.

But, if it suits a need, it works.  I just don't want a large phone and this is one of the few small phones available.  Because small phones aren't a big seller, they haven't put much sparkle into this phone.  It isn't as competent as my 2017 phone for email or maps or etc.  This Blu is best for phone calls and simple, no-picture texts.  I suppose it will perform other function, of course, but they will be very very slow.

Even being so slow, the battery life is pretty bad.
You might get a day of it in standby to receive calls with no data connection.  The battery seems to deplete at the same rate whether the phone is sitting on the table waiting for a call or you are actually talking on it.  Not necessary, but I found batteries with this name fit : C813443130L and they had the same fairly short life as the battery that came with the phone so no solution there.
