Hi, i bought this phone about 3 months ago and so far it reset itself 2 times on it´s own... everytime i call the phone company they say i must done something wrong and reset the features but i´ve been using mobiles about 6 years ago and i know exactly what to press or not, what´s more i don´t even use the phone! i want to know if anyone else experienced this? It just resets itself and all the ringtones and screen savers i got are reset too, the text msg all is gone! please tell me i´m not the only one! Thank you!

The funny thing that I have discovered in this simple phone is that it looks morden with good colour, But it doesn't give derivery alert when you send text messege.
This makes me bored with the phone as some of my friends keeps on blaming me when I promise to send them text sms.
It doesn't show whether the msg has gone or not, and no derivery note.
Is there anyone know about this.

I went to look on my TracFone users group and some people said to take it out and put it back in a few times. Make sure it's in correctly. Someone said try turning the phone on and off a few times. I don't know why it tells you that, I put mine in and had no problems, make sure it's pushed in all the way and you hear it click. Hope this helps :).

i bought this phone the other day.and i have got to say that it is an excellent phone.for the price and all,you cannot beat the signal strength on it.you crazy ppl never did say nothing about the signal.that's the most important thing on a cell phone.no signal,no blabbering.i was with sprintpcs and had this phone that i bought from walmart.and the durn thing did not give good signal over where i live.i live out in the valley and didnt get good signal with the sprint phone.so if i wanted to talk on the sprint phone i would either have to go outside,or sit right next to a window.and sit there and not move.and that got very aggervating if you know what i mean.and i thought that sprint was being unfair and so i dropped sprint and went to cingular on the go account.and with much phones that i have had over here i can go all through my home with this little booger.it is cute and like that one fellow said it is durable,that is wild buddy,dropping it from 20 ft.?dang,thats cool.i havent had that kind of problem yet,though but pretty dang sure i will someday.but,i really love this phone.and if you want all that fancy ringtones,wallpapers,and all that jazz,than you need to look for another phone.this phone is the bomb!think about it folks,these cell phones are made for calling,not piddling around with.sheesh.a phone is suppose to call your loved ones,friends,etc.if you wanna play little baby games,get you a freaking gameboy and put a sock in it!!!!but moto,thanks for an awsome phone.you will have my blessings with this little phone of yours.keep up the good work,moto!!!!!

Just tried the Crostel.com site that someone recommended for ringtones and it worked for me. I have a Motorola C139 used through TracFone. The ringtone came as a text message so be aware that you will lose minutes by opening it. But it was pretty simple to save it to my phone.

Just wondering does the screen on your C139's go black after about 20 seconds, and then light up when you push a button? Just want to make sure this is normal. Thanks.

what do you expect from a basic phone? if you want all that other stuff get a different phone. this little guy is great for what you pay for. if you're a simple person who just needs it for the phone and texting, then it's a great phone. quit complaining about what it doesn't have. you bought it you knew what you were getting, live with it.

I bought 2 of these phones w/ Net10 service. One for me, and one for my wife. Within 1 month, they have **both** reset themselves back to factory defaults, losing all airtime. It took a few days to get my replacement the 1st time, and I'm going through the same thing again. I think I'm finding out the Nokia is a better choice. If my replacements crap out on me, I'll just have to find new phones.

I like this phone, not all the bells and whistles. Who needs all that stuff, remember it is only a phone. lol
pros: 1 free with current subscriber
cons: 1 it will not remote start my car
2 it wont open my garage doors
3 it wont change the station on my satellite receiver
4 it wont store 2 hours of video...

all kidding aside great little phone with no flip to break.

This is just a basic phone and it doesn't have any special features. My original cingular phone broke and didn't want to pay a lot for another phone. It was purchased as a go phone but I inserted my own sim card and works very well. Good phone and at a very good price.

I Found Only One Ringtone Site For This Phone crostel.com Some Are Ok And Some Are Not So Good If Anyone Finds Any More You Should Email Them To Me.

I live in Thailand and just purchased one of these as part of the Cingular pre-paid service. To answer your question, no it will not work with any other SIM card. On powering up the phone, it will ask you for "Subsidy Password", which of course Cingular does not tell you.

Also, the frequencies on the North American version of this phone are not very useful in Asia or Europe. As for me, I only needed the SIM card and the C139 is a fairly primitive phone. I am just going to pitch the C139 and use my spare Sony-Ericsson T630 when I am using the Cingular SIM card in the USA.
