Product ReviewsSamsung Gusto 2 - 64 MB - Gray (Verizon) (Single SIM)

Right size for calls and texts. Excellent buy.

Not touch screen. I have hand tremors and for some reason I make touch screens go haywire. I also drop things a lot and the screen is not easy to break. very little prior use. Like new. ecstatic with purchase.Read full review...

Good, cheap phone.

I have dexterity problems and cannot effectively use smartphones unless they have a really large screen so I tend to keep it simple. I am on call 24/7 so have to have a phone. I visited the Verizon store one day to look at "Feature Phones" (their term for "Dumbphones) and because I was looking at their small selection of Feature Phones, I got no help from the sales staff. So I went online and began researching for myself. This phone is well featured and quite inexpensive so I took a chance. All in all, it's a very good phone. It has everything I need and then some. The buttons are raised which helps me with my "problem". The voice quality seems as good as other phones I've had and the Nuance voice control works well. My only gripe with this (and other Samsung flip phones) is the external key lock function. I carry my phone in my pocket so it's prone to external button presses. The settings allows you to lock the external keys but the problem is, if you hit the right button combination on the external keys, you can unlock them. I had a Samsung Convoy 2 which had this same issue. The problem with the Convoy is that it has front external buttons which allow access to texting and other features without opening the phone. I am not sure who the genius is that thinks being able to unlock the phone without opening it is a good idea but I'd really like to meet him/her. It's the dumbest "feature" I've ever found on a cell phone and even though it is annoying on this Gusto 2, the worse thing it does is make beeping sounds or take pictures inside my pocket. I sent several random text messages with the Convoy 2 and it is now in a landfill somewhere. Samsung has some odd design engineers.Read full review...

Even though charger does not always work, great value for the money!

I bought this for my 94 year young mother to replace a samsung phone that she had for 22 years. This phone was similar to use so I thought it would be perfect. We took the phone to Verizon, they activated it and it works perfect. The charger, however, never did work. The cord that plugs in the phone seems to have a break inside and if not sitting just right, won't charge the phone. It is a pain, but for the money I paid for the phone, I can't complain too much. If you want a very simple, no frills phone, buy this one. It is a good phone for a parent to use for emergencies. It gives us peace of mind to know that mom has it.Read full review...

Good for folks that just want a phone.

It is a good phone for people who want a very basic, easy to use phone without any frills. It is easy to use and the screen is easy to read with large texts. Drawback: I've had a couple of these and the caller ID doesn't work right. The number comes up but some inputted names don't. This is inconvenient for people who want to avoid certain calls by name but can't necessarily remember the number. Other than that it's a good little phone for the money.Read full review...

Works fine but I wish description contained prepaid phone in ebay placement

I only gave this phone a average rating and average ease of use because:
1. It is a prepaid phone from verizon and I did not see that
mentioned anywhere on the description.
2. Because it was a prepaid phone, I could not at home nor over the phone have my verizon phone number "pushed" onto this phone. I had to go to a verizon wireless center and have a tech there perform that function. It took him 45 minutes to get it done.

Other than that issue the phone is great. Looks brand new. Battery lasts like, all week. It works better than fine as our house phone....Read full review...

Desirable Samsung Gusto

Samsung Gusto (SCH-365) has desirable feature of letting owner send text messages in text, picture or voice, unlike Verizon Alcatel Go Flip V, which I bought.

Alcatel is tougher than Gusto but has far fewer features.Read full review...

GOOD DEAL FOR ME! 6 MOS REVIEW: IF A NEW ONE CAME, I'D SEND IT BACK!!!!

Didn't really want a smart phone. Just a "Plain Jane" phone. I saw an ad on the 'net. Unlimited Talk, Web, Text. Didn't need the web. I have a smoker at home. I don't play games. I do text. I really like the "Voice!" So, I got the Pre-Pay. I used the Auto-Pay. The phone is good. The reception area is great! Auto redial, vibrate to very loud Tone.Time, Date, loads of contacts, has a back facing camera, texting is slow because of the "ABC" type texting, good battery life. For the price & what I need, this phone has preformed very well!
PROS: I can hear very well & get great reception area.
CONS: Slow Texting keys. *** 6 MONTHS REVIEW: THE VOLUME GOT SO WEAK, I COULDN'T HEAR!!! BATTERY-LIFE 5 MONTHS!!! TRIED TO GET IT REPAIRED??? HAVE YOU EVER TRIED TO PULL HEN'S TEETH??? THEY WERE TRYING TO GET ME TO JUMP THROUGH ALL KINDS OF HOOPS.THREW IT IN A DRAWER & WENT TO STRAIGHTALK.PICKED UP AN LG ANDROID & IT WORKS GREAT BUT THEY DO THROTTLE YOUR DATA, BUT FOR THE PRICE I CAN LIVE WITH THAT! ***Read full review...

Discontinued? Hard to Find Samsung Battery SCH-U365

I have had this phone for several years with no problems, however, I now need a battery for it and have found that you can not find a battery. Samsung has apparently discontinued the battery for this phone and the only one available is an off brand from China and reviews on the battery are very poor saying that those batteries only stay charged for 2 hours.Read full review...

Great phone for 85 year old mother

I got this as a replacement for my mother who had broken her previous phone and wanted something similar. This is a great flip phone for the money and does exactly what she needs it to do - place and received cell phone calls. I am sure it has a great camera as well, but that is not even used. What she does like is that it is nice and compact and fits in her purse easily.Read full review...
