" ...  You will get persistent and frequent junk splash ads on this phone covering and blocking the whole page. ... This is a locked Tracfone so you are stuck with these ads. ... So if you want a Smartphone which you can't use for email or Web browsing without getting spammed by junk ads, this is the phone for you. ... Also if you try to use the function to limit online data usage, it will automatically reset to a higher number.  ...  "
