First of all I want to thank U.S. Cellular Resolution Dept. for checking into my inquire.

My son purchased this phone and a few months after he had it, It was displaying the same issues that have been posted.Like it flashes off and on at night and so on.I got our bill last month and noticed he had made
5000 min overage on calls and 3000 on text. WOW!!!!! I knew something was wrong,Then his screens went blank, the teck rep gave him a new one
and I asked if it was possible for his phone to make calls on its own,the teck said it was.to shorten this, PLEASE watch your bill very close,if you see this happening get it in right away!!!!!!!!!! this phone was still under warranty.

This phone STINKS.

Okay, I had this phone for about 7 months. I gotta tell you, in the long run it's not worth it. It'll act fine and be kind of cool for a few weeks maybe even months, but later on you'll realize what a true piece of poo it is. Almost everyone I know who's had this phone wil tell you, DO NOT get it. It always freezes up, the internet FAILS, the displays tend to go like blind after a while, and it will turn off whenever it feels like it. If you're looking to waste your money, go ahead and enjoy it while it lasts. You're gonna have to end up getting a new phone, or getting the same one over and over until they finally discontinue it.
