This is a difficult review to write because I can't be fair to the phone for reasons that have little to do with the phone itself. Since Sprint turned off the Nextel network, the phones no longer work. I found out that these hybrid phones have some rather peculiar properties. First is the SIM card. I got a new phone that had never been activated. Turned out to be useless because the phone must be activated on the Nextel network before it will do anything. Direct Talk is even out of the question. I also got a used phone that didn't have a SIM card. I found that you can't put another SIM in them. When they are activated, the SIM that is in the phone at that time becomes the only one the phone can use. I also found that you can't activate one on the Sprint network even though the phone sees the Sprint tower. I tried. So, if you can find one that has been activated and has the original SIM card in it, you can use it for Direct Talk. Otherwise, it makes a fairly good paperweight.Read full review
Very solid phone. Mid level hybrid phone (Sprint CDMA/Nextel iden)...uses the Nextel network for PTT (push to talk) "walkie-talkie" feature and the Sprint network for just about everything else. Not alot of features otherwise, except it is ruggedized...you can drop this phone 100 times and it won't miss a beat. To summarize, if your looking for a no nonsense Nextel with great reliability and enhanced call quality/texting and data capabilities look no further.
My boyfriend had this phone for years, does NOT want to change. He really likes it. After all these years he still cant find another phone that is capable of doing as much in such a simple, easy way. He broke and lost the back of his phone (after years of HARD use). This phone is still for sale. It just retails at a crazy price. I found this one on ebay, a very reasonable price. They even helped and explained to us how to get the new one working on his number. It works perfect. The phone is like brand new. It does every thing the newer phones can do, but still in a very simple way. He loves it !~ We are very happy.
the phone is fantastic! not many features but i didnt buy it for that, i just wanted a phone with good voice tone and two way and thats just what i got!! very easy to use,battery life is great and best of all you cant beat the price.
Awesome product in good shape..however I thought i could activate it thru my carrier Sprint but i couldnt so sad.........
