I started using cell phones from when I was in my 12th class. my first phone is gifted me by my mother when I got seventy percentage in 12th class believe me at that time I dont think about brand or company but now it is necessary to purchase a trusted brand or company cell phone so that you can pay for the real worth. I purchase this cell phone 5 months before from that time I did not come across any blocking, hanging etc. so I think it gives real worth for your value.
