Avoid this phone and company at all cost. Phone is locked down with so much junk that 2 apps allows no more storage and they have disabled using a sim card as internal storage with MM. A company that does this doesn't want your business, they want your money for another upgrade.

I don't know if you'd be able to remove bloadware that way, but you're free to try it out.

I loved this phone. My only problem was not enough RAM for the apps I use, and there aren't that many.

I see a lot of bad comments about this phone. I have to admit, I was not expecting much since I only paid about $30 for it. Yet after using it for just a couple of days, I already like much better than the LG Phoenix (which cost me about $100) much better. For one, the battery life is much better (even better than my old iPhone 5). The LG's battery would only last about 3 hours or so, whereas the Maven stays charged all day long. Call quality is ok, not great, but again, for the price I am pretty pleased with what I have. Finally, I like the phone, it is easy to use, and gets the job done. I like the browser that comes with it, it is better than any other other mobile browser that I have ever used, including Safari, FireFox, and Chrome.

i owned this phone for at least 1 year, great phone, cheap , good signal, awesome audio Dolby Audio does miracles, the only downside of this phone, is unable to get root so you can't delete useless apps from the operator.

I've had it a week and I'm not that happy with it. I installed a SD card and I can't find any way to access it. I can't figure out how to move things from internal memory to the SD card. And the device app that came installed on the phone is absolutely no help.

It isn't enough to just mark the one spot for default memory each app must be set separately.

This phone was a nightmare before I removed all the AT&T bloatware that came preinstalled.
It would constantly freeze up, shut down, randomly start up apps etc etc After uninstalling the bloatware the phone ran a whole lot better.

I have 2 of these ZTE Maven 2 cell phones and I did set it to save on sd card and neither one of them would automatically save anything to the sd card, Not only that but it seem that the only thing you can do with the sd card is copy and past it over to the sd card, so then you have 2 copies of everything. It is treating the sd card as if we were using it like a thumb drive or a disk we would burn things we want to save in case our computer ever crashed. I called ATT tech support even they couldn't help even after being on the phone for about 40 mins. I would not buy this phone.

This phone is horrible. I am totally disabled and housebound, and MUST have a phone for emergencies. There are so many things wrong with it that tech support can not fix. Please do yourself a favor and DON'T BUY A ZTE MAVEN 2!!!
