I've read reviews about certain carriers in the US that do not allow the DOOGEE V Max Plus to work on their systems. I know that when I tried to add the phone to my Verizon account, the phone was not compatible. According to Verizon. But I did manage to get a sim card from T-Mobile, and it works great. Excellent coverage. The phone does not have all the additional "Bells and Whistles" that come preloaded with Samsung devices. Which is actually great because I really do not use those extras anyway. The phone does come preloaded with what I believe to be the complete set of Google preloaded apps. And additional apps to make a "Blue Collar" worker's job easier. I'm still testing the phone out. So far I haven't checked things like quality of pictures taken and such, Yet. As of right now the phone and the apps I have used so far work well.
