  • QuestionI know this phone is forVerizon but does this phone works with GSM cardiers,?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer I have been looking to find this out myself, as Bestbuy only carries the Verizon version for some reason... It looks like Verizon has faded out their CDMA service lines as of 2020 and their phones do support GSM cards now. However, with it being a Verizon phone they do unfortunately lock their phones for 60 days before allowing you to gain access to another carrier.

  • QuestionDo you have a protective case that fits this phone?

    Asked by Lori.

    • Answer Yes I do have a protective case for my A51. I have had several wallet covers for my older cell phones which tended to block the camera lenses when fully opened. I found the Samsung S View Wallet Cover for my A51 to be the perfect solution to counter that camera lense access inconvenience. The Samsung wallet has a window which when the wallet is closed to protect the entire phone there is a clear window over the main screen showing time, date and battery. When the wallet is fully open - i.e. wrapped around back of phone - all of the camera lenses are uncovered and you're ready to take a picture. I also purchased a ZAGG Invisible Shield Glass + "Extreme Impact and Scratch Cover" for the Samsung Galaxy A51 for the front of my phone as an added precaution to prevent damage to the main screen. ZAGG provides a plastic fixture to fit around the main screen to insure exact placement. The Plastic fixture is removed after the Glass+ shield has been applied.

  • QuestionWhere are the speakers located and how is their quality?

    Asked by LeftEye.

    • Answer The sound is not bad and the speaker is on the bottom of the phone. I am sure you can plug in a Bluetooth speaker, and that will give you an awesome sound. I believe the phone also, has a feature so, if you are hard of hearing you can set that up on the A51.

  • QuestionCan you port a number from a different carrier on these prepaid phones?

    Asked by vikes.

    • Answer Yes your # is for no uncertain terms basically your property and the Carrier cannot hold it. Doesn't matter if it's a pre or post pay almost all carriers allow ports. Of course they want your money so seems like they pretty much have too!

  • QuestionI want to get this phone for my husband for Christmas. Can I get it at Best Buy and have it activated after Christmas?

    Asked by QuiltLady.

    • Answer Yes. I did not have some of the info they needed when I purchased the phone, so I bought the phone at Best Buy and then had it activated a few days later. FYI: If they have problems activating the phone, make sure they check the sim card. My phone would not activate until they switched the sim card. The online tech people told me to go to a Verizon store and have them check the sim card. They said that it happens sometimes.
