They for sure send out a lot better phones now. It makes sense because the moto g pure sells for $59.99. It's a cheap phone for assurance and T-Mobile to send out. Everyone wins. They save money and everyone gets a good phone.
@@CapoGamingYT I had SafeLink about a decade ago. They sent a dumb phone that just called and text. I think the government started to realize that internet is important in modern society.
I was using the Stylo 6 for a few years and then it just got real slow on me but I'm using the Motorola g myself at the moment and haven't had any problems besides storage other than that phone runs pretty great
I seen that WIKO phone they give out... The screen gave me a headache after 2 minutes. Got lots of calls from Shanghai and Taiwan too... That phone got the devil in it chile, lasts for like 3 days and turns location on and off on its own...
I've had all those. Absolutely atrocious phones. Used to think I'd die of old age before I could get it to load. I got this one coming in a few days to replace the Wiko
I just ordered a replacement phone...I still had the cheap ugly small UMX phone with no storage capacity and continues to freeze up, I'd love this phone as I have the Moto 5g Stylus on metro and is nice even coming from a iPhone 12 anyway I'll be happy with anything better than this 2008 model phone lol
It would suck if they're giving the moto g to new customers. I've had the wiko for a while and it slow as hell. I called for a new phone and got the schok. That phone sucks. So went back to the wiko
I never tried the other company but I hate Assurance Wireless. The service is great. But they phone they sent me is trash. They won't let me buy a decent phone. And they won't even let me buy a phone from them. What I can do is give them $45 and they will send me a random phone. I don't get to pick. I swear I am not making that up. Like I need a second shitty phone. So all it is good for is a home internet hotspot. Like I said, the service is really good but I am probably going to have to drop them. I need a phone that isn't complete garbage. And they refuse to be reasonable
@ David D Assurance wireless Crappy phones. All rep's & so called supervisors LIE, & call them back a few times, in the same day... You're SURE to get (at least one of the same "agent"s) who will not only change the story, denying that they promised to definitely, finally resolve the issues at hand, & she or he, will go on & on about how you are SUCH A VALUED CUSTOMER, &&& they now are going to personally oversee & fix the issue. Today. They will then promise... That you, or I, or (whoever) can now Sit Back... Relax... KNOWING THAT THE PROBLEM is being handled. Yeah, right. Should we so much as politely dare, to let that rep. Know that we're on to them & the line of milky crap they're funnel fkng us w/o sedation you WILL be hung up on. I don't mean to go on rant here, but the BS, I've dealt with ( just over the past three days) ... ~All who are reading this-- either think I'm making this shtttt UP- or have already personally dealt w it. Sooo much more BS going on w/ them that I can share with U all, but no, I'm done, finished w them. Good Luck one & all, just drop them & move on. In NY, there are a few options, just ask me I'm more than willing to help.
I feel you guys the 3 rd one I got was a wiko life 3 I had a umx and a moxie they both blew up and I was hurt now I have medical bills too I’m currently discussing my case with a lawyer I hate assurance wireless
I don’t think people getting shit for free should be doing much complaining. Tax payers sure wouldn’t think so. They’re meant for people to be able to mainly call and text. People never cease to amaze me with these attitudes like they’re owed something or should be privileged to something just because. If you don’t like free then go purchase one.
I hope I get the same phone cuz I am a new customer with them the problem was someone hacked into my old account I had to reapply and waiting 3 months for a phone pushing on the floor
I would like to get this too I have had hardship so I think I qualify... This phone is actually good, I had it last year , and it will take about 1 hour to fully upgrade to android 11 or whatever. It takes a while. But once you fix it it's fine
@@davidvitebsky9088 I'm still waiting for the March 2022 update. Your probably going to like the Moto g pure. It doesn't act like a low end budget phone.
Hold up hold up they sent you this phone??? Dude that's actually a pretty good phone to get for free... Govt is real desperate for all our data lol I may sign up if that's the free phone their giving. We all in struggle nation these days
@@CapoGamingYT I heard they ran out of the pure and giving out junk phones again. My sister got the junk shock phone. It really is a peice of junk and slow and crashes often.
Got an email saying was approved for Assurance Wireless even though I already have a phone with them already. Is it supposed be a new phone and they were just emailing to let me know? I hope it's not just another Wiko since I already have that one.
Honestly assurance probably has better Internet speeds, Cintex it works to an extent, like Spotify works, TH-cam works but if you want to download apps it could take a while, the main thing I like about Cintex is you can choose between a selection of phones that they have in stock.
@@CapoGamingYT sorry I'm so late but you should try airtalk because they're giving out iPhones right now and shipping them for free slower data speed not unlimited but that is because of the phone you should try it
What year is this phone? I got the same phone and trying to buy a case for it but I need know the correct year it was manufactured before I purchase it
Nice phone. I got a crap phone that crackles, doesn’t text or function, can’t hear people, wonky response on the touch screen, etc etc. A SCHOK generic brand. I’m searching other ways to upgrade or get another phone.
Seems everyone gets a shot at a nicer phone. SafeLink was in the street the other day, they have the moto g play right now. Just gotta keep your head up till you see one, then jump companies
Just order the new phone with a new number and just put your SIM in it or order it and transfer your number, in sure you can use it if you already have a number with them.
@@CapoGamingYT shoot i just signed up with them 2 months ago got a wiko cant see it or hear it had to jump thru hoops to get another they sent a volt sv55 does the same thing cant complain cause its free but why do they keep sending junk phones that dont work
@@CapoGamingYT Wait.. The WIKO JERRY was BETTER than anything else I got. And they left tethering intact in the code settings that they can only change.
At one point all of these places sent out cheaper no name junk phones. Now you get a decent name brand phone that's updated to current software and they are not slow! I ordered this one myself and using it now as my current phone so I know it's true.
Sending out piece of s*it phones is Business as usual for Assurance Wireless. They are bad about sending people WIKO phones...which is the worst phone on the market. If you Google "WIKO phone reviews" ...you will see that EVERY SINGLE review has 1 star , and every review of this brand is a horrible review. The other person not being able to hear you on the other end is a common occurrence. The cameras are of horrible qualify, apps take forever to open. Messenger takes 46 seconds to load on my WIKO phone.. you might as well go do something else while waiting for an app to open. I understand that it was free as a government lifeline.... But don't give us junk! Some people have actually bought this brand of phone... And they are pi$$ed off , and are demanding a refund. Personally I think that this brand needs to cease production of a piece of $hit phone that serves absolutely no purpose for the average consumer. Eventually someone will have an emergency and the 911 operator won't be able to hear them... That could cost someone their or another person's life... Then it will be time to SUE WIKO phones. Some slanted eyed idiot will be held accountable.
I'm not sure if I've said it on this video or another one, but I am well aware of these companies sending out Chinese knock off phones that really serve no purpose in what you do like calling texting and Internet, all of them are either slow or just crash and don't work because the crap phones they sent out couldn't even handle making a phone call, and it was like that for years. I had a QLink phone and was trying to get home using the GPS, in a trip that should have taken me 45 minutes took me 4 hours because the phone kept crashing. BUT I have been testing and ordering from these companies lately and I have received relatively good working phones, all working fine such as Motorola, Samsung, iPhone, LG. I'm not sure why you are talking about WIKO phones because they do not send them out any longer, if you received one recently then maybe they was out of stock of the good phones. if you watched my video I have received a Motorola G Play, and my brother just ordered one a couple weeks ago and got a better one than mine.
@@CapoGamingYT uhhh..yeah they do still send out WIKO phones. Me and a friend of mine both received the WIKO life 3 . So yes they still send out WIKO phones. 10/31/2022 is when we received our second WIKO phones, because we had assurance wireless send us a replacement. It must just be the small town I live in, because everyone here is receiving either WIKO or MOXEE phones... So please don't try to act like a know it all and correct me.
@@shanemcguire9980 they were paid to post this video and reply to comments such as yours. it seems crazy asf, I know, but it's true. they're paid by assurance wireless to post this video, and they're paid to respond to claims that the company sends horrible WIKO phones with denial.

Better than my current phone in everyway lol.

Just ordered mine lol. Was surprised by the specs of the Moto compared to my 3 year old Samsung A10e. Due for an upgrade and free service is a plus.
I was using the Stylo 6 for a few years and then it just got real slow on me but I'm using the Motorola g myself at the moment and haven't had any problems besides storage other than that phone runs pretty great
