The phone is great, I have no real complaints. The issue is with Net10, their customer service is a joke! All outsourced tech support that can hardly speak english, be prepared to spend 20min on the phone fixing simple problems and over an hour trying to troubleshoot harder ones. I've had this model phone for 6 yrs, it's survived all manner of abuse, from the toilet to the dryer, finally died when I ran over it in the car. Replaced it with the exact same model because it's the best deal for a pre-pay phone hands down. The only feature that I don't like is you can't see who is sending a text unless you open it first. Another is the battery cover does not secure well, often slides off by itself. All the features are basic compared to smart phones but what it lacks in glitter it makes up for w/$. On a pre-pay plan I can get down to @ $10 a month or less... Thats if you can live without browsing, web access on this phone is a waste of time!Read full review
Pros: Phone is very durable. I have had this exact phone for 5 years now and am only ordering it again because the charger/headphone port wore out from use. I have dropped it countless times and it always survived unscathed. The phone is an excellent basic all around phone and the keyboard is excellent for texting. Battery life is good. Works pretty well as a music player although you do not have the option of fast forward or rewind. Cons: Net10's internet option is HORRIBLE. Even loading the most basic sites like time & date takes FOREVER. Sometimes 10 minutes to check sports scores on Yahoo. Don't even try loading any multimedia. This is NOT an internet phone. Also the 411 is INFURIATING. It is all computerized voice recognition prompts and it never understands what you are trying to find. I have tried it about 5 times and every time ended in failure. This is not a phone for people looking to do anything but the absolute most basic things on the net.... and you are losing minute after minute while the phone slowly loads basic webpages. Video capture is terrible.... pictures are small and of low/moderate quality.Read full review
If you are looking for a smart phone, do not buy this one. Pros: Cool keyboard for texting or surfing the internet! Reliable at making phone calls. Surfs the net - News, reading, email check. Price is terrific. Can play MP3s. Cons: No Adobe Reader, or any other application can be downloaded on this phone. NET10 blocks JAVA on the internet. Very tiny "brain" (RAM). Not a phone for professionals on the go. I'll say that if your expectations for a phone are to make phone calls, text, look at news and articles, and listen to MP3s once in a while, then the phone may fit you. It works for me!
This is one of the best deals out there. I went from paying $65+ a month for AT&T's overpriced service to about $30 every TWO months with Net10. This phone has not only saved me tons of money, but has a surprising amount of features for its low price. A web browser, MP3 Player (+ speaker), text messaging, slide-out keyboard, and lots more are loaded on this phone. Battery life is usually about a week between charges, probably less if you talk a lot but I typically text. This puppy also survived more than a few drops and is still going strong. Can't recommend this model enough, buy it already!
This is my first Samsung phone, and I am delighted with it. The battery life is great, and it is much easier to see the display (larger size) than my previous cell. It wouldn't interface with the Plantronics Blue Tooth I have, but I have already ordered a handsfree set, and so it didn't matter to me. The camera lense doesn't have a cover, so I'll have to be careful not to scratch it. However,I do like the feel of it and the way the qwerty slides out. Nothing "cheap" about this phone! Very easy intuitively.
