I switched two lines last September and got two phones. Initially we we're quite happy with them. We can't afford top of the line phones, but didn't want bottom of the barrel. We ended up taking advantage of the promotion to add 2 more lines and get phones for my daughters for Christmas. Within 3 months my daughter's phone just shut off and wouldn't charge. Before I filed an insurance claim I took it to the store. The woman didn't seem surprised at all, and since it was under warranty I could get a new one for $15. Two weeks after receiving the replacement phone same thing happened with the new phone. Different woman said that my daughter had damaged it, and I would have to claim it on my insurance to have it replaced. Thinking my daughter was irresponsible, I decided she should earn the money to replace it. One day I plugged it in and it vibrates. So I hold the power button and volume button and well it starts charging. Worked for awhile. Did it again. Waited a day and "fixed" it again. Again, I am assuming my daughter had damaged it before, and this is why it happened. Then it happened to mine. And then my other daughter's phone. Luckily I knew how to "fix it". Well it has happened 3 times this week to my daughter's phone that she got about 3 months ago. The battery overheats when charging. As far as other issues that I see people having, I personally run off my WiFi most of the time, and I feel it is adequate for the price of the phone. When I am running off data it is allot slower, but that is more of a carrier issue. You get what you pay for. Lol. Now I have to "upgrade" because the insurance company will just send me another one of these defective phones!

            I have had this phone since Feb, it’s been ok until now. I have to tap to speak to open it but it won’t let me so I’m totally stuffed. Really really pissed of.

              I have had my ZTE Blade less than a year from Cricket Wireless. I have the same issues as JP. When my phone rings my screen stayed dark and I can't pick up the call. When I try to open the screen it hangs up the call. The phone has given me nothing but grief. I took it to 2 different Cricket stores, but they couldn't fix it. They said my only option was to send it for a factory reset, which will cause me to loose a lit of the stuff on my phone. Do not get this phone!

                Zte sucks at making a reliable phone. The junkyards in America are filled with these things im sure. Stop making phones zte you suck at it. Do not buy this phone all the negative reviews are true. All the people saying it's a good phone are NOT true. You've been warned

The problems you were having were not because of the phone, but because of Cricket and how their chip works within. I had the same issues and when I switched carriers, they magically went away.

                            I bought this phone from some woman about a year ago, this phone has been a problem child ever since, ( I'm pretty sure that's why she was so eager to sell it.) The phone freezes constantly when the phone rings the phone screen doesn't always display on top. the speaker is bad especially when driving, you'll need good earbuds. Finally, when I was in the hospital and really needed my phone it wouldn't load past the Cricket screen, which is why I find myself at this site, reviewing other phones before I make a purchase. I will never buy a ZTE phone again.

                                I hate this phone. I have had it for 1month and it's been one problem after another. It keeps freezing, take forever to turn on, takes forever to open an app. Some times it takes so long to open an app that I have to go to my setting and stop the app most of the time that doesn't work so I have to turn restart the phone. Downloading.....I can't even find anything I download I have to do to the notification bar to see what I downloaded and of course once you use the notification bar that's it . So I have to go to file manager and move whater it is I downloaded to a different location. The call waiting doesn't stay on and I can go on and one on. I've have taken it back to have it fixed 4 times already and each time they say they have fixed it and yet it still acts the same. I had the zmax pro and I loved that phone. I wish I had never purchased this phone.

                                      I hate this phone. Ever since I bought it, all it has done is lag and randomly close apps. Now, I did own the ZTE Z Max Pro before and thought it was a wonderful phone for the price. After the fingerprint scanner and cameras went out (it had been two years at that point), I enjoyed the phone enough that I figured that I'd upgrade to the newer ZTE device. Now I can say without a doubt that this phone is the worst device I have ever owned. It closes and restarts apps randomly, lags on videos (how do you even mess up playing videos!?), and, on top of that, its microphone for regular calls and video stopped working entirely. If I want to make a call, I have to either use speaker phone or a headset. Only a month after I purchased the phone too!

                                      To be fair, I do put a lot of strain on devices. Gaming, listening to music... Its an almost constant use. At the same time though, the *previous*(possibly incorrect) phone, the Zmax pro, fit all my needs and it seems really strange that the newer model is worse?

                                      I plan on putting a couple of .22 acorn rounds into it. Can't use it as a phone, may as well be a target. My next purchase I plan on is the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4.

                                      PS. I payed about $120 for the phone, where as the ZMax pro was $100. The Redmi Note 4 is about $150 unlocked on Amazon. I really should have done my research on the device before paying that much for it. Hope this helpz someone make a responsible decision on their phone. Cheers!
