For a pay as you go (no data) phone, it works very well. Phone is basic but calls can be made and received easily. Texts the same. Battery life is good, and I get 14 days on standby, no wifi or any other apps running of course. Camera is very basic these days. As soon as you compare it to an iPho...
I am worried about the fingerprint scanner, because redmi 3 doesn´t have it.
Looks like you will have to cut the case at the back to make the fingerprint scanner visible. Anyway, check out this case specifically for Xiaomi Redmi 3 Pro which I found on Amazon: click here Hope that helps!
In Depth
A sleek case design and low price are attractive factors for this budget smartphone. CNet calls the phone “an inexpensive foray into Android.” Running Android 2.3 Gingerbread, a 3.5-inch display and 2GB storage, it is easy to see how Huawei kept the price on the phone low. While it is certainly underpowered compared to many of the newest phones on the market, it is exceptionally affordable on contract or as a pay-as-you-go option.
The camera lacks a flash and data is limited to 3G speeds, however, the phone functions well and the design of the phone provides a comfortable, durable feel. Another perk to the low specs of the device is battery life. CNet found the battery to be good for nearly 10 hours of talk time on a single charge with standby lasting for over day with light usage. They summed up the phone well when they said, “If you’re looking for an inexpensive smartphone and you aren’t particular about speed or high-end specs, the Huawei Ascend Y’s inexpensive price tag will get you in the door.”
The Good: Attractive case design, decent battery life and low price.
The Bad: Outdated hardware and software, slow data connectivity and sub-par camera.

Thanks for the info Carl. That's encouraging.I assume I would be able to call normal land lines and cell phones as well if I paid for that service from Skype or one of the others you list.My real hope is to identify a cell phone that integrates wifi voice services as seamlessly as wifi data services are now handeled. So, based on my preference settings, my phone would automatically use an available wifi network to voip my call rather than use pay-as-you-go minutes. Anyone know if such is available?
