I have reviewed several phones. Of all the Phones I reviewed the Samsung SGH-T139 is without being partial to other phones is the least favorite of all. Not a phone for globetrotting. It does have a simple low-res camera and medievel web browser but for people who would consider this phone would most likely be looking for a solid voice communications device. This is not it. As mentioned in my review of the Motorola V195 there is no comparison. Even in solid Tmobile signal areas the T-139 has dropped call volumes. Even Tmobile Engineers atribute this phone for service cancelations. (I know because I am one of them). The rural banding on this phone (850mhz) is not tuned to the internal attenua thus reducing range to about 3 miles line of sight from any given tower. The 1900mhz range is better about 6.2 miles before call is dropped from tower. By Comparison, the Motorola v190 and v195 will hang onto a rural network about 18.5 miles and the 1900mhz band about 15.8 miles. I verify these numbers as a licensed Engineer in Arizona. My final opinion is that there is much better choices on ebay like the Motorola Vseries 170,190,195 & 197 which all of those use the same operating boards. On the interstate the Samsung would drop service between towers while the Motorola would switch flawlessly between them and I had these phones side by side during my travels. Voice quality on the Samsung T-139 is poor at best with no Noise canceling processor like the Motorola V195 people allways complained that I was "Breathing heavy into the phone" or that I "had the phone in my throat". The price is nice for such a new phone but I highly recommend a different phone.Read full review
I purchased the Samsung SGH T139 and it is working great. Even though the packaging was for T-Mobile prepaid service, I just put my mom-in law's SIM card in and it works perfectly with her T-Mobile monthly service. We bought the SGH T139 because the price was very economical and my mother in-law does not need a smartphone with many features, just a simple camera phone, which the T139 has. It replaced another Samsung (SGH-E105) that was several years old and sound quality was fading. It had been passed around as a back-up phone whenever needed and run it's course. Luckily, we found a great deal on the SGH T139 and we're very happy with the awesome voice clarity in both directions. No more callers saying "What'd you say?". The ease of setup and ease of use makes this phone feel like a no hassle device. The SGH T139 also supports T-Mobile's Mobile Backup so that our contacts are saved on T-Mobile servers, this was a convenient surprise. Overall the SGH T139 has been a simple, functional device with nice clear keys and screen. Highly recommended if a no-frills device is what your looking for.Read full review
I've had this phone for 6 months now. It is a nice phone. Nothing too high tech if that's what you are looking for but it does it's job and does it well. I get good reception. The camera is easy to use and takes pretty good pics. Reading the other review, there is a way to turn the "camera sound" off. The battery life is better than my business phone (Motorola V360). Ususally will go all day and night without charging and I use it pretty frequently. It's a pretty sturdy phone also, I have dropped it several times and it still works great. And unlike phones I have owned in the past, it doesn't seem to freeze up or act goofy when you use the interface too much. No bluetooth technology or MP3 or any of the fancy stuff but I personally don't need all of that on my phone. All together a pretty good phone.Read full review
Got this phone free from T-Mobile for renewing my contract for 2 more years. (It replaced my Motorola V180.) I will be returning it within the 14 day grace period. It is a good looking phone, nice design, compact and easy to use. But there are too many 'cons'. It only comes with approximately 10 ringtones which are all horribly cheap sounding. There is no way to connect to PC.(usb or otherwise) You can't change the wording or fonts on the main lcd screen. External lcd is too dark to read unless you open then close phone so it lights up.(annoying!) I personally dislike the internal antenna, I get a much weaker signal compared to the V180. I believe T-mobile is trying to promote its 'T-Zone' pay services. Its displayed as a menu item permanently on the main screen.(they want you to download their ringtones!) Also, the battery life is below average. The camera is easy to use and takes a decent picture but there is no way to turn off the loud shutter clicking noise it makes. The speakerphone works ok but I do wish it had voice dialing. To sum things up, it wasnt bad for the price but for a 'newer' phone, its a step backwardsRead full review
I have been using Cells phones for many many years now. I first started out with GTE Cellular back in the 80's. Thats when the Telephones where big and bulky. I have used many different brands, but must say that this little Samsung Phone is amongst my favorites. It offers alot of very nice features that are simple and very easy to use. A big plus for me on this particular Phone is that its a Tri-mode Band phone. It can operate just about anyplace in the World. Anyone looking for a good quality Phone should look at this. Its worth the money and its a very well made and good quality Phone...
