Great phone, for a awesome price !
My wife picked this phone out for me, she wanted me to have a better phone, than the flip phone I had, I'm super happy she did ! It gets service, while I'm in the store and I can talk and hear without any problems ! I highly recommend it, and it won't break you, lol, very good price, for a great phone !

Nightmare
The transfer process was a total nightmare. I spent hours on it and they cheated me out of 425 minutes. The new phone doesn't work as well as my old flip phone which they made me replace.

    Samsung A01-YES
    Some people complained about this phone but I must say I think that it's great. It does everything the other expensive phones do and without a contract. I generally charge it about every 3-4 days but I'm not a person on the phone day and night like some. It does seem a little large coming from an old android but you just have to get used to it. All in all I think it's a good buy.

    Kid friendly
    I purchased this phone for my soon to be 5 yo niece for her birthday. I was able to find a pop it unicorn phone case for it and set it up with ease. Google allowed me to set up a child email and have her mom control it. So she can't download anything w/o my sister in laws approval. I think this will be perfect for someone her age. She like other toddlers/kids will ignore calls on others phones if she is using it and now we don't have to worry about that.

    I Already Knew it Was a Good Phone1
    I bought this phone for my service with Safelink. I was with another company, but they kept sending me bad and off brand phones. I already had a Samsung Galaxy A01 smartphone with Tracfone as my backup phone, so when I discovered that I could purchase the same phone with Safelink, I jumped on board! This Galaxy phone is sturdy and reliable.

    Nice Upgrade
    Phone is nice. A little bigger than my previous, but still doable. It has a few changes, but nothing that I can't learn to change my thinking, so to speak. Over all I like it, my only disappointment is that the ringtone are almost the same, and hard to separate one from the other. My other phone had a good variety and very different. I give certain people a special ringtone so I know who is contacting me. I know I can download ringtones, but the one time I tried it didn't work, but haven't had time to try again.

    Does the job for a lot less money
    We think this phone is great for the price paid. It has everything we need. We are very senior citizens and had no trouble transferring information from our old phone to the new as well as keeping our old phone number. We are very happy with TracPhone service also. The phone is light and size is great. It fit into my old cover just fine.

    New Phone
    At first, we were not sure about getting this Samsung Galaxy A01, because we are 80 + years old, and are used to our phones making calls and receiving them. Nothing more. So the thought of having to learn about this new fangled gaget, we were anxious, wondering if we were biting off more than we could chew. But it seems Catherine got used to it rather quickly. AND now she likes it very much.

    It's great
    I am enjoying it. It's a little smaller than I expected but it's a good phone.

    Great upgrade for an older Android phone
    I'm upgrading from a Samsung J3 Luna Pro, Android 6.0.1. The new phone is only a little bit longer than my old phone, but generally the same shape. Android 10 is quick, it connects with my car much faster than my old phone for Android Auto. Some of my apps run a bit faster, too. Set-up was easy, as was transferring my Tracfone minutes to the new phone and transferring my old phone's data and apps to the new phone. 16GB internal is kind of small, but there's a slot for a micro SD card. The phone does have preinstalled apps, but many of them can be removed to free up space. Phone gets a cellphone signal better than my old phone, too. Sound is clear and crisp. There is a visual voicemail with the phone, it asked me to set it up the first time I received a voicemail message. Phone comes with charger block and USB-C cable, and charges up quicker than my old phone. Phone also comes with a little tool to open the microSD card slot but no instructions - you have to push the pin into the hole quite firmly to eject the tray. I'm happy with my purchase.

    Great phone, super easy to use.
    I got this phone for my grandma, she's 85 years old. She loved it, it's fast, great camera, and the price is perfect! The device feels expensive, even though its back is plastic. The screen is excellent. Rapid response to touch too. Grandmas a first timer and feels very at ease with the phone. It's a great deal!

    Better than good for the cost.
    A good solid phone for folks who want the majority of the high end features without the associated cost. I do no vids, games etc. so that type of feature is of no interest to me but overall speeds even with YouTube are fast with plenty of memory with optional card. I've begun using the "swipe" feature for texting and the phone's intuitiveness is simply amazing. This is my third A01 (dropped other two and cracked the screens) - and I kept going back to same model which says something. I also switched to tracphone service and am very pleased with that as well. Seems like the best cost/benefit ratio out there for my needs.

    great starter phone for new users.
    I have had this phone for about 2 weeks. I have learned that it is more than a phone. But For many that are first time users this is a great beginners phone. Most of the Apps on this phone are simple and easy to understand. Some are more complex. I am still learning. The phone options are very friendly, I can block many robo calls, and wrong number calls very easily. The phone listing is easy to operate. Texting, and sending pics and video's easy. Like the Facebook connection, easy access to regularly shopped websites and if you like games there are many options to add. I really love the facial recognition option.

    Love My New Samsung A01
    I have had a Samsung Galaxy III for many years, but when I switched to Tracphone it was time for an upgrade. I opted for the Samsung A01. It is a great phone but is taking me a while to access and understand all the features. I would recommend going to settings and shutting down a lot of the features that are linked to google and constantly sending messages about everything under the sun. My first few days, messages and hints, were coming in fast and furious. Once I got the feel of the phone and read through the on-line users guide, I was more confident in turning on the features that appealed to me and my needs. One minor flaw is that the vibrate feature is very soft and I often do not notice when the phone rings, even in my breast pocket. But, no big deal.
