I've had a V171 for 6 years now and it's worked without a hitch. It's a good basic phone and being a camshell protects the screen from damage and the buttons getting pressed by car keys etc while in my pocket.

This phone is simple to use and is affordable! It has the basics and what else do you need! NET10 really does provide the greatest PrePaid deals. This phone is perfect if you are looking at getting your first phone!

I have this phone with Net10. It's a good phone and since it's free(the phone is $29.99 and comes with 300 min.), you can't complain. I just need a basic phone so this phone fits the bill.

I like this phone. I have the v171 since july 2008 (in Argentina v172). it had the flex broken so I have to "bend" it to see the screen. then it fell from 5-6 meters high and broke the screen. it looked like there was a bat hanging from the screen. then I fixed it until it broke again and I had to buy another one. (I bought another v171). however i like it because it is a simple phone and its low price makes easy purchase. plus it's small and lightweight. I dont mind the small screen or the crapy ringtones. i just use it as a phone and text message
i hope my opinion was helpful to you

why make this phone? who would buy it? oh, well my parents got them and (glad I didnt get one) the only reason they got the was because they were cheap. my parents really are cheap too. They won't even let me get a phone. I told them at least get razors, they have more to them, but NO! I'm a sad person rite now.....

this phone, well, let's just say it's not the best phone I've ever seen. i mean, there is no camera, the screen is tiny, and you cant even get it in any other color than silver! the antenna sticking up makes it look out-of-style, i would much rather have any other phone in the world than this one. Or, i would rather not even have a phone at all!

The problem with 'Searching, please wait' appears like 5 minutes after you opened it, not necesarily when it's charging. After 5 minutes it's all ok...

This phone sucks. I had it for 2 years cuz I couldn't afford buying sth else. And it looks far better in the pictures than it really is. Although I didn't hae any problems with it, it doesn't switch on and off or sth like this, it's a torture writing sms, the vibrator and the ringtones aren't working after an year and when you must lock it, it keeps unlocked and your battery will be probably over after a few hours. Good luck!

> In reply to kudakwashe @ 2008-01-14 13:07 from fuMt - click to readIf you can't send sms, you can power off the phone, do a master reset (menu-settings-other settings-initial setup-security code (000000))and check center number under messages. Also, you can contact your carrier for this.

Check message centre number.
Also turn the phone off and wipe the SIM card
