Alright, so my big questions on this phone are:

Is the call quality good? Do you lose calls often, or is it reliable for talking on the phone?

Is the text messaging good? I previously owned one of the GzOnes (IDR which one) and it's texting was crap, I couldn't hardly send a text message, couldn't send a picture message, and was hard to receive messages from other people, from owners/previous owners, was there any problems with texting on the Brigade?

@TheMattXWire Unfortunately, the guy who made this video hasn't been at Wirefly for more than a year, and I have no experience with the Brigade. Perhaps someone will come along who has some experience and can answer your questions.

@wirefly Thank you, I have read several reviews and not saw any issues with the texting.

But I did stumble upon a problem that you or another employee may be able to answer about it randomly shutting off (it wouldn't be that big of deal for me as long as it wasn't more than 3 times a day probably)

Is there any way to fix the "reboot problem" I've been reading about?

[wirefly]

@TheMattXWire I have no experience with the Brigade and don't know anyone here who has one. You might be better off by finding an online forum that focuses on Casio phones -- they will have experience with your phone.

The reboot problem you're having sounds ominous. If you've done all the firmware and OS updates, then there's a really good chance that is a hardware problem that can't be fixed. Again, a Casio forum is a good place to start.

My buddy had the old G'zOne flip phone. Upon the middle of a hard day at work in 100degree temps his wife continuously called him over and over again, he finally had enough and tossed it in the 8' deep inground swimming pool. It stayed for over a hour, funny thing is we could see the screen light up when she called. He had 13 missed calls after retreaval, he called her back. Twas awesome!

@usabaseball8 if you read the fineprint it states that the phone is not waterproof, but water resistant. its not meant to be submerged. just if you spill water on it or something like, it wont hurt it.

How do i change my signature? My internal screen broke and i cant change the sig from the front of the phone. but can still use the internal keyboard. My sig is my ex girlfriends name. Can somebody please tell me how to do it "Blindly" from the inside of my phone. Or send me a link to a video. I tried verizon support but it does not go into enough detail. Thank you to anybody who helps me delete my sig.

not waterproof after like a few feet... then it acts weird...and now for some reason the screen looks weird but the buttons work :/ dont put it in water!!1

@TeeJayDubs4 You dont have to I know because im looking into getting a new phone and i asked a verizon person the same question and they said you can get it but its optional only the smartphones are required to have a data package like droids iphones etc. hope this helped ya
