Got one of these for in-laws' emergency phone, but I'd hate for them to face an actual emergency -- only about 1/3 of conversation is audible, even with 3 or more bars of signal. Granted, it has big visible numbers onscreen when dialing, but other than that, only useful for talking to telemarketers -- "I'd...if...try...can't...house...gerbils."

This is a great phone. My co-worker thought it was neat that I can program in whatever ringtone I like. In fact, he plans on replacing his more expensive phone with a C139 and having me do some programming for him. The monophonic tone could be better but it's the only phone I know of with a feature for playing a ringtone you created yourself.

it took less than a week to get the new phone and they send you a prepaid envelope inside with your new phone to return the phone your having problems with. any otehr company would make you buy another phone and buy another plan. they exchange it for free and for spending 12 bucks on a phone thats a really good deal. i've seen this alot, people spending hundred of dollars on phones with a camera and plans to not to be able to afford to send pictures when we spen 12 for the phone, get double the minutes spend what 20 bucks on a 60 min card that gives you 120. who cares about ring tones. i personally dont like it when im somewhere and i hear bubba sparx or beyonce yelling from someones pocket in public. it really makes you look cheesy. ev1 now days has a cell phone and if this 12 dollar phone has the vibrate function im sure your 200 dollar camera one does to.

to the person that bought the phone in foreign country. i would call the 800# 1-800-867-7183
I had one not even 2 weeks and the screen went out on me. they sent me a new phone in the mail and i told them the minutes i had remaining. they reissued me my minutes and even on the new phone game me the previous # to the old phone. i would try getting them to tell you over the phone step by step how to do it and if not purchase enough is proof to get a new phone if your not happy with it they should issue you a new one for free. although im not a motorolla dealer or anything but you think they would if you bought it and your not happy with it. as long as you got the existing phones serial # and sim # i would not think there would be a problem.

Can someone please help? I lost my phone whilst travelling so bought a C139 in Bangkok. Unfortunately, it reverts to Thai language every time I change the sim card. I think I tried to change the language and ended up with one that is totally unrecognisable to me... Can someone please help by guiding me into the Settings section by telling me how to go into the language section and changing to English. I think the best way would be to count the steps, eg. I know the the Settings for starters because of the icon.. but from then on it is basically 'Warp lingo' as far as I am concerned.

Counting steps would be helpful I think, eg. Settings, count two down, press selection which will be 'other settings' and then count three down.. etc etc..

Anyone's help will be hugely appreciated.

Many many thanks and look forward to a way out and back to using the phone like it should be used :-), cheers

i bought the c139 for a very low price with the double minute feature which is a really great deal. if you have to patience to read the instructions youd be amazed at how you can set the alarm and turn the volume up when in a call. this si a very good phone. i a agree cameras should be used for taking pictures and phones for taking and making calls. good job motorola for keeping it affordable and simple. stop being lazy and read the manual...

I got this phone on Christmas in 2006. I don't really like it all that much, because there is no camera, no way to download new ringtones, it's not a flip phone, and it's way too small. Plus, the battery life was never up to par with what Motorola said it was. It lasts maybe 6 or 7 days instead of the said 18. But yeah, if you like it, go for it.

Redial, dialing received calls and previously placed calls require too many steps. I had a Nokia that made this simple. I find myself pressing buttons all over the phone. The screen is too dark to read with out the back light. The volume during a call is too low.

best simplest phone ever! Battery life is excellent, plus the games on it (football, pong, and maze) are actually very entertaining. GET THIS PHONE!!!

The motorola c139 was the first phone i ever had. i like it because its not one of those phones that have so much stuff in them, but then u cant find the clock. it has just enough accessories on it. A great first time phone for anybody..
