![Alcatel A30 PLUS Unlocked Smartphone (AT&T/T-Mobile/Verizon) - 5.5" HD Screen, 16 GB, 5MP Camera with Front-facing Flash, and Android 7.0 Nougat [Black]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61cBqS7hkdL.__AC_SX300_SY300_QL70_ML2_.jpg)
I use this phone with Verizon (CDMA); I can't speak to GSM. It receives a signal as well as any phone I have owned. If the camera is a really, really, big deal to you, this phone might disappoint you - - just a warning.
If you have it for work: It works with my car's bluetooth, flawlessly; it works with all the Android apps that my employer puts out there for us to use while on the move.
For personal use: I connect to various fitness apps. It doesn't have ANT+ capability for an HRM, but that isn't a deal killer to me.

This is a GSM phone. And CDMA?
There's some quality control issues at the company that makes these phones, it seems. There are some very nice things about this phone. Screen and camera are pretty good for a budget phone, and I found it to be fast enough for basic tasks. The screen looks fairly bright and sharp when you look at it straight on, though not surprisingly its not as vibrant as a iPhone or high end Samsung, for example. I have not had the battery issue some have complained about. It does take longer to charge than my more expensive Sony phone, but it lasts long enough to get through a day, even with some gaming or movie watching.However, my phone had major problems staying connected to my cell phone network, however. This got much worse after the latest software update, to the point that the phone is almost unusable, at least for for making calls.Another drawback - the phone's backing feels a bit flimsy, and changing a SIM card or SD card requires removing it. I always feel like I might be in danger of cracking the backing. It does have a sort of bumpy texture that makes it easy to grip the phone securely.I'm a little confused about whether the phone is both GSM and CDMA, or is it GSM yet also compatible with the Verizon network but not other CDMA phones? Or was their a mistake on the box? The Amazon listing mentions that in the summer Verizon compatibility is coming, but they don't specify whether they mean a Verizon compatible version of the phone is coming or that the phone will be able to do both. The box states that its GSM but also works with Verizon. And the sticker on top of the box says GSM and CDMA. Being compatible with so many networks would be a nice feature for a budget phone. You'd think they'd make this clearer and really be making a point of letting people know that in the listing.Edit: Connectivity has improved quite a bit after some troubleshooting, but there are still occasional issues. The phone is usable, however, occasionally I'll have to wait for the connection to improve before a text or call will go through.
