Is it a touch screen?** A: Wifi capable as in bluetooth? Yesand yes its touch screen **Q: do you have to have a data plan with this phone?** A: NO! You do not have to have a data plan. And you can get a $10 data plan for basic email, unavailable on smart phones. THIS IS NOT A SMART PHONE. You cannot install apps. It comes with a basic browser. Great in-between product for those who don't want to spend money on a smart phone data plan that starts at $30/month. **Q: Is this a 4g phone?** A: You can get it with a limited data plan if that is what you mean by 4G. My son manages a Verizon store. I told him what I wanted and what I could afford. He recommended this phone and put a block on the data so I would only pay the 29.95 on my senior plan. However if you want to travel out of the US to Mexico or Canada this phone does not support that. I had to rent a smart phone for $150. per week. In addition if you buy it, beware that in the near future these phones will be obsolete. So i you need a phone that supports 4G or 5G just do it now. Don't waste your money. **Q: We're is the sim card hole in the phone?** A: must take the back off the phone. It is in there where the battery is ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Phone, all its old problems are gone. *by J***N on June 10, 2013* I read a lot of negative reviews about this phone was it first came out last year, but it seems either all the problems were unfounded, or they were all fixed via software updates.All the negative reviews I read were either from 40-60 year old people trying to use their first touch screen feature phone and had lots of button press or unlock issues, or they were about issues with glitches in the first or second versions of the proprietary (and unique) operating system this phone uses. What I can say is all the personal access issues are simply incorrect and the result of either ignorance, bad touch screen technique, or big fingers, because this phone is snappy and almost flawless. There are many options in the menus for increasing phone lock steps to keep the thing locked in your purse or pocket.On the software side of things, I can not comment on the problems with earlier iterations of the phone, but Samsung seemed to have worked out any and all bugs in the OS. I have not had a single issue with any aspect of the phone: the T9 is perfect (albeit useless with the keyboard), the phone screen correctly responds to the proximity detector and shuts off while on calls, there are no issues with the charging icon, and the phone never restarts itself.So in other words, don't put much stock in negative reviews about this phone from May-November 2012, the issues have been corrected and this is a great little feature phone for those who don't want a data plan. ### ⭐ DO NOT FALL FOR THIS *by V***T on December 10, 2013* I rec'd this yesterday, charged it up, activated it, and transferred all my contacts. BUT I CAN'T USE IT because it's a piece of XXX. Two problems right off the bat - no need to bore anyone with details and i'm sick of talking about it. I just spent a couple of hours online with Samsung help chat - VERY NICE person on the other end - very patient and helpful - led me by the hand through all kinds of suggestions and even led me through resetting the whole thing to see if the problems had anything to do with the software - but no, it's a hardware issue and I am supposed to package it up and ship it off to Samsung for examination and, if possible, repair. So that means that I will be without a usable cell phone, as my perfectly good old one was deactivated to get this one to function. This is not right - but then what did I expect for a penny anyway - where'd these things come from - they're garbage. OH, and not only that, but now I am locked back into another 2-year contract. Well, we'll see about that ... ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very responsive, lock screen issues though *by D***E on November 17, 2013* I purchased this phone for my mother who wanted it for the longest time. I did not want to get her the phone because I saw some bad reviews here, however it is nothing of the sort! The screen is very responsive and it not laggy. The only thing is that it often pocket dials people. I tried to change the settings to lock the screen sooner, but this option does not seem to exist on the software that is present on the device. If I find a way to get rid of this issue, I will update my review. Also, the on/off button is easy to press but is small and would not be suitable for someone with a large finger.This phone is a great option for someone who wants a touch screen phone with no data plan required; as why I got it for my mom. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/76800372-samsung-brightside-sapphire-blue-verizon-wireless](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/76800372-samsung-brightside-sapphire-blue-verizon-wireless) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
