I got this phone yesterday for my b-day and
I think it's a wonderful phone! I mean it
doesn't have a camera but it does have polyphonic ringtones that you can download,from the cingular website,it has an
alarm clock. I don't like that it only has two wallpapers though.I have dropped it a couple of times but it still works perfect.
I recommend this phone to someone who doesn't want all that fancy stuff but wants a simple reliable phone.

This phone comes mainly as pre-paid in the US. Has anyone thrown a postpaid SIM in this phone and used it without any problems?? Does the minute bank software from the pre-paid get carried over??? Anyone who can answer, I would appreciate it. I would like it as a spare phone.

I just need a basic phone, but I'd like to know if you can download wallpapers for this one since so many people are complaining about them. Also, can you buy covers to put on it? You can email me the answers, or I have yahoo messenger xoxchelaxox08@yahoo.com

I heard that this phone was compliable with windows messenger. Is this true because that is what I need? If anyone has the answer please email me.

Well thank goodness for a color phone I only want to answer. When you have choices, that's the difference.

Despite many of the previous comments you really can’t beat this phone for the money. The battery life on this thing is without a doubt reason enough to have it. The high priced phones have a lot of new toys yes, but they can’t compare to the rugged construction and long batter life of this phone. I’m a man. I need a dependable phone that can survive a few drops (mine survived a drop form more than 20 feet....try that with a high price RAZOR or any other flip phone), go 2 or 3 days without charging and, always work when I need it to. AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT THIS PHONE DOES FOR ME. Leave the fancy ringtons and wallpapers to the ladies and children. And let the lazy folks who are too out of shape to hold the phone to their ear keep their bluetooth.

After all isn’t the real purpose of a phone to send and receive calls? Why do you need all the silly little ringtones, wallpapers, and bluetooth do that one function? This little $30 phone does that just as well as any $300 RAZOR and will give you more talk time and more standby time because it doesn’t have to give up power to all the little un-necessary and ultimately useless functions of the high priced phones. If you need to mindlessly stroke your ego buy a high priced toy....if you want a smartly priced highly dependable phone.....buy this one.

I bought this phone cuz I was told it was poliphonic (what a lie). it doesn't have anything!! not even a crappy alarm clock!! it looks nice... just in the outside. The contacts book supports like 100 contacts or less, it doesn't even have a crappy NOTES option... when you dial a number it just looks huge... it's hard to use... I don't know... it's just awful.
I sold it to an old lady like 2 weeks after I bought it and got myself a nice Alcatel ot-552a

I too bought this phone as a prepay just to toss the prepaid sim and put my regular sim in. My old phone crapped out on me and i just needed a cheap phone to last until i can get an upgrade without costing me an arm and a leg. Not too hot on the graphics or ringtones but over all seems to be a great phone.

I too thought this was a nice phone for the price. Until I woke up this morning and found the damn thing had reset itself back to the factory defaults. Since I bought this for use on a prepaid network, all my airtime was lost. I am currently waiting for a replacement that should be here within 3-5 working days. According to the customer service rep, this is a recurring problem with the phone.

I had this phone for a few weeks now and so far its really reliable and a good buy for its cheap price. One complaint is that it is small and the buttons feel wierd when you press them but still a very good first phone I think a good buy. Well done Motorola

I bought this a a cingular go phone. My razr v3 was stolen. Instead of paying full price for another razr {350.00$ or something) I bought this and activated with my old number with a new SIM.

I've had this phone for months now! It's great, beautiful on the eye, and it works great too! It's got an outstanding battery life, and a stunning colour screen. I don't know why people say how much they hate this phone, especially because it can't download ringtones; it's not advertised that it can't download ringtones!
All in all, the Motorola c139 is a loovely phone, I'd reccomend it to anyone that doesn't want all the bells and whistles :]
