This is a fantastic little phone that works great and is easy to use.  It's clamshell design prevents it from dialing by accident. It includes a large full color display with cool free screensavers, fun ringtones and fun games. Even allows for full music ringtones. Has nice big buttons so you never...

My husband used this phone for a year, and was pleased with it's performance. He got it because it was $20, and he wanted a flip phone.

We replaced it once early on because the battery failed, we had replaced the battery, but the phone wouldn't hold a charge. No idea why, as Radio Shack was pretty un-helpful...

This is a phone for someone who does not make a lot of calls and only wants to avoid having to search for payphones. The keypad is reasonably sized, even for those who have large fingers and the font on the screens is large enough to be used by those with less than perfect vision. The voice quality is decent for an inexpensive device.

Some negatives about the phone especially for those who are budget conscious:
  • The built-in ring tones are very annoying and to get different ones you need to pay for them.
  • The icons are small and hard to distinguish.
  • You will get voice and text messages and only way...

This was a Kroycera Oyster Phone, it was under the Virgin Moblie Network, it was of clamshell design colored pearled. The phone working for a couple of months between six and ten months however it stopped working all of a sudden. I just had it in my pocket and was painting a poster on the floor like I had done many times before. And the screen didn't want to display, the numbers would turn on. Charged it to make sure it wasn't the battery however it never work, had to buy new phone. Before it stopped working it was a great phone for first time users. It had voice calling, texting, internet access,...

I am reviewing the virgin mobile phone. the white flip phone. Each of my children had until recently i let them deactivate and bought them verizon phones. they always had terrible reception and half the time i could never get a hold of them. i think those phones are fine for younger kids but other than that they work like shit.

The Oyster was a good phone. It was a little slow but that was ok if you didn't call people that often. It had a fun game already on it. I loved playing it (Race 21). I would continue to use it but I needed a plan with more minutes at a lower price. Pre paid can get expense.

I have bought many expensive phones over the years and by far the Oyster is the best. Clear and picks up signals where Verizon can't.

I had the Oystr cell phone from Virgin Mobile until it dies on me. While I generally liked the size and features on it, I felt that the battery died pretty quick on it. I had to recharge it every 3 or 4 days, and it was even turned off from 9-5. The phone also stopped working after I'd had it about 2.5 years. It was a cheap phone (and is even cheaper now), so I would still recommend it from that aspect, though the newer ones I feel have a longer battery life.

The phone itself is great to look at and seems pretty durable.  The size is handy and the ringtones are okay.  But the  pre pay plan itself, where it is charged by money instead of minutes and it is very expensive and the time goes by very quickly. It is hard to judge how much time you have left. I would definetly not recommend this phone to anyone.
