Product ReviewsSamsung SGH A237 - Red (AT&T) Cellular Phone

Love this phone!

This phone is small and durable, comfortable to hold. I have dropped it 3 times on a tile floor and have sprayed it with a hose. Though I don't recommend those things, it still works fine. They don't make enough of these decent basic flip phones anymore. It is a quad band phone with bluetooth, basic camera, speakerphone. The menus are easy to navigate and you can get to features in multiple ways. Contacts are readily accessible as is the ability to do a new text message. One negative is that you can easily accidentally block a number when viewing a text. Two of us have done that. That's only something to be aware of. My whole family has this phone and I can hear them and they can hear me 4000 miles apart. Signal reception is reasonable. Standby time lasts for days, but if I have an hour long conversation, the battery drops to half and I generally need to charge it. But it doesn't take long to do so. A car charger might be a nice thing to have. I just need a way to find my son's phone when he drives off with it on top of his car and loses it--GPS? That might be the only thing missing.Read full review...

inadvertently. Requires extra attention / care ~:|
camera feature is about what you'd expect(or perhaps a bit less ~:/Read full review...

Samsung SGH A237

You just want a good mobile phone that can make some calls. right? Okay, maybe you want a phone that can also handle some messaging. And some emails. And if it had a camera that would be nice, too. You just want a good phone that does messaging and has a camera and that's all. But with fast downloads and worldwide support and a dozen other cool, useful things. In other words, you want the Samsung SGH A237.Read full review...

I do NOT recommend this phone to anyone

My Nokia flip phone went out after 7 good years of excellent service. I had this phone on hand for a spare and had to change over to it. It has been so hard to use, the keys are
so tiny that you can easily hit the wrong one and reception
is very poor.

This phone is better than NO phone but it certainly is NOT a
very good phone to use full time. I am looking for me one that
I can enjoy like the one I had for the 7 years. I plan to update to a smart phone so I can use the internet when I need to.

The color of the RED phone is a very pretty burgundy which I was able to decorate with ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE screen saver.
I was unable to have the "Yeah ALABAMA" theme song for my
ring tone. Another negative about the phone, you can't put
your ringtones on there easily. But nevertheless, Roll Tide!

I rate this phone 2/5 or 3/10.Read full review...

Dummy phones are just that...not for replacement parts

I bought this dummy phone hoping that I could slide the battery cover off the back to use as a replacement for the one I'd lost on my new phone. Unfortunately, the dummy phone parts aren't real and they don't slide. They're snapped into place, so if you want to use it for replacement parts, it won't work. However, it IS a very cool phone for the little kids in your life that would like to feel like they have the real thing (just remove the little plastic pieces on the side so there's no risk of them being swallowed)!Read full review...

Best phone for the technology challenged over 55 and elderly!

This is the best phone for older/elderly individuals. I purchased this phone for my grandmother in her 70's. The flip design ensures that the phone is not left on and running, wasting minutes. The phones features are basic, also great not to confuse people. The numbers are clear and visible.Read full review...

Put the chip in the telephone and I was back on the airwaves. What can be more important? But this box of review says I have to type 100 charecters.
The weight and size of the phone is perfect for this older person. The outside volume is great for my hearing loss. As a matter of fact I bought two of these just in case they quit making ths model. Will keep coming back for this phone instead of the newer type with more gagets and smaller keys.Read full review...

Samsung SGH A237

I actually bought this phone for my friend and he loves it. He says its easy to use (and for an older man that is a good thing) and its light and portable. All he had to do was put his sim card and start using. He is able to access the different functions of the phone easily due to its user friendly make. I would say that he would rate this phone a 10 out of 10.Read full review...

Cell Phone With Little Features

I bought this cell phone because of the price and color. It is very pretty and stylish, but lacks many features I would have like to have on my phone. When it stated that my phone had Bluetooth, it should have stated headset Bluetooth, and that is it. Unless you plug the phone into your computer with a cord, you cannot send things like ring tones to it. I have a tendency to push the volume button on the side when answering it, which tells me the phone, is a little bit small. Also the phone does not have many features like smiley faces for texting, which I miss having. Overall, the phone has been a good little phone to have when in a pinch, but not a good phone for texters. I would rate this a 3 or 4 out of 10, just because it is a basic phone with little thrills.Read full review...
