I have tried to contact metro about my phone that I ordered before Christmas, to tell them the battery lasts 1/2 the day with no use and it shuts off and back on by itself. When I finally talk to a person, she told me to go to a store. I went to a store and I am on a waiting list for a "refurbished" phone, that I would receive sometime after the 100 people that were on the list received theirs. I actually bought two of these phones, one for my son and his works fine. I think this is bull, I'd rather have my old phone back. Service sucks!!!!!

Phone keep rebooting for no reason, at times I can't even hold a call, I'm on my second phone. So beware with this phone as they haven't sent out the update to stop the rebooting and are not sure the update will work.
