I got this phone a year ago for the cost of 2 months (maybe 3?) on Straight Talk. It is infuriatingly slow. I just use it for work and it's so annoying to use that I almost never use it.

You have to opt for the $75 plan but not pay. After you get the phone, call/chat with Verizon to cancel the service .. only get charged pro rated for a day of service not full $75

It shows $75 plan + $40 activation fees for me? Any way to avoid the activation fee?

I also have this phone and do not find it slow at all for basic tasks. May be you're doing some heavy stuff for work ?

Don't waste your money on any A series. My A35 is my biggest regret. Go with a Moto stylus 2025 instead

OK... we should no longer be calling SLICKDEALS... SLICKDEALS, the new name should be SLICKTORTURE because it will be torture to use a 4GB phone in a year from now... and for some people it will be now.

Not only did you buy this bad phone, you just locked yourself in for what two years?

And this phone's CPU is basically as fast as a G99 or SD695 which has been the slowest tablet to buy (WITH 8GB OF RAM) for the last three years.

So here is my advice.
1. SWITCH to mint mobile or Visible
2. Get a phone with 8GB of RAM and if you can not afford this then get a uSED phone with 8GB of RAM.
