If you just need a phone for calling or texting I would recommend but if you want a phone for different thing it belongs in the trash

I realise you get what you pay for but I wouldn't have paid for all the stress and frustration had I known what I was in for when I purchased this heap of rubbish.

I've owned this phone for a month now, and sometimes the battery drains within 1 hour! The camera is honestly worse than a 2010 phone, it's slow. Not worth it.

In Oz, was on special for $19 at Target many months ago. Got one simply for a backup phone for calls and a select few important apps. WOW!! At $19 it is still $18 more than you should pay. This phone should only be used for calls/sms. Use it for anything else and expect anger levels to rise. This phone is garbage, and it retails still for $99. Crap.

An awful phone, don't buy it! especially from the 3 UK network. This already dire offering was made worse by 3 removing the native FM radio function and installing their unwanted Three App Cloud bloatware, as if being stuck with the non-renovable Alcatel apps weren't bad enough! The U5 manages its limited memory badly, and will only allow SD card storage if the card is formatted specifically for the device.
After eleven months of constant frustration the phone went into a death spiral, losing its battery charge even as I looked at it on a number of occasions. Enraged by its refusal not to allow any attempt to use it as it recharged I smashed it against a wall and put an end to this farce once and for all. If this is an example of what Alcatel priduces, this company is certain to go out of business - the sooner the better!

Anonymous, 06 Sep 2018So I've seen this phone in catalogues and stuff and i'm jus... moreYes I recommend buying it if you are just looking for a phone to make and receive calls but other than that the Alcatel U5 is more on the slow side. So if your looking to do other things on this phone I don't recommend buying this phone.

What a waste of money! In training & it won't hook up to wi-fi-am told it's because phone is too slow. Cheap yes but if I just wanted something to simply make & accept calls I could have gotten much cheaper. Total fizzer in my books,

I am sorry to say that I regret owning one. Screen freezes every now and then, phone becomes warm. I will advice you get a better phone. Very poor technology

Djinaculous, 14 Jan 2019I so don't recommend! Awful phone!! Don't buy this. It suck... moreI wouldn't give this phone to my dog this has to be the worst phone I have ever owned in my life . first of all it hardly has any memory for you to download any apps so you have spend more money on SD card . which eventually as to be Convented into internal memory which is hard because find yourself having to delete lot of the apps for this to happen. the basic function of the phone is very slow and continues crash especially when using apps battery life is OK but does run out quickly. DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE £35 pound down the drain

I so don't recommend! Awful phone!! Don't buy this. It sucks. It has no storage for anything, the camera is awful and who would have a 5 megapixel camera IN 2019? LIKE WHO? The screen has those black lines on edges, lags & bugs a lot. The battery is horrible, you can only use up to 50% of the battery, when you reach 50%/40%, you will be able to see your battery going 1% off every 5 seconds!! Not handy, made out of cheap plastic, you can break it really easily. The back and home button stopped working after 3 months of usage, and I have to exit with the square button, and I can't do half of the things because of that! Awful, awwwwwwwwful!! Don't buy it, you will be dissapointed!!

I would recommend this for work. For photography & gaming, it can't do much. Even if you download a HD camera app, it only enhances the image by 5%. Most apps these days run with lag, or don't run at all. My thing is, it has a good battery, but when the battery gets to 30%, it dies almost instantly. It's been happening since I got the phone, which it was brand new. I would recommend this phone if its not for everyday use. If you want a phone for everyday use, I wouldn't recommend this sadly.

Anonymous, 06 Sep 2018So I've seen this phone in catalogues and stuff and i'm jus... moreHi, I would recomend the phone. I used it for everyday and I love it, it's good for the price and $60 is a good deal. I paid $80. Wouldn't pay more for it than that. I play pokemon go and use all the social media apps without any issues.
