Most of the time this phone drops calls, and you don't get very many GBs of data, so I have been utilizing a prepaid phone for most calls, except that their purchased data is burned through much faster than even Assurance. I have to carry around two phones now, in case I wish to browse Internet and make calls. The Assurance Schok phone loses battery power quickly, sometimes not making it through the day without letting it first go completely dead. After a few months it would sometimes run dead within hours just on Standby. Plus, these Schok phones don't have a removable battery if you want to perform a hard reset, and removing it would break the warranty.
