Good for an entry level Windows phone/Be Conscious of Seller
Nokia Lumia 635 is an okay to good phone for an entry level Windows/Smartphone. This had Windows 8.1 on it and functions well. Allows for basic needs of calling, texting, email, internet, and apps. Only issue is to beware of the seller in the marketplace even if it is fulfilled by Amazon. The listing here mentions "Unlocked GSM 4G LTE" but some sellers just send AT&T GoPhone which are locked to the AT&T network. If the seller sends a genuine UNLOCKED mobile/cellphone then it will work on the 4G LTE networks in the USA. The 4G LTE network in the USA usually is the 1900 band which this phone is capable.
Pros on the phone
A. Fast boot up
B. Apps are fairly nice
C. Feels sturdy in the hands
D. Not a gigantic feel like some phones
Cons of the Phone
A. Cortana keeps popping up even if you don't want to use it (This depends on your preference)
B. Transfer Data from old Nokia phones requires an app, simple bluetooth transfer/sync didn't work with our older Nokia phones.
Overall, mostly satisfied for a basic Windows Nokia phone. The main point is beware and conscious of the seller in the marketplace, even if it is "Fulfilled by Amazon". The seller that was fulfilled by Amazon was "Reliable Communication" and it was an AT&T GoPhone not completely unlocked.
EDIT: As I continue to monitor feedback on my reviews and the comments I left on seller, I noticed my seller review was deleted. So this confirms my advice about being cautious on who you choose. "Reliable Communication" seller I would steer clear from completely. Very shady seller. Choose a seller who has had good feedback and a long positive history even if "Fulfilled By Amazon" is there. Phone still works good as a basic entry level Windows phone. Nothing more.
