My friend has this phone, and I've seen it. The screen is super tiny, but it's quite cute and basic for the beginners.

This phone does exactly what it supposed to do - the basics! I only use call/text and the phone has served me well for 2 years. The only reason I am upgrading is now I want an MP3 phone. The V171 is a great basic phone, never had any problems with it.

The V171 is an excellent phone that functions well. If you buy a remanufactured V171 from Net10 and have trouble with the headset volume being to low, call customer service and they will send you another one and they'll pay shipping both ways. That's excellent customer support. The V171 is a reliable phone for an excellent price.

Oh my gosh, ok, i just got this phone a few days ago- everything seemed really cool at first, besides the small screen and no display in the front, but then i turned it off to charge overnight and when i turned it on it says "Searching...Please Wait". Well I Been Waiting For 3 Days now- i can't do Nothing! tried everything possible i think-tryin to keep myself from tweakin it to peices -paid $30 for 300 min. still have 286 min. left - This phone is rediculous along with the customer service. Is this phone able to Forward at all? its in the Menu but when i try n select it nothing happens.

Sure it has its shortcomings (many) but on advantage over some other phones with gprs functionality...it is able to capture(save) images right off any site visited even ones that charge for downloads....freeeeeeee images screensavers etc. freeeeeeeeeeeeeeee is always a plus for.....meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Worst voice quality I have ever heard. Garbled and muffled. Poorest performance in vehicles. Big delay after turning it on to use the phone book or make a call--"searching-try later".
Old Nokia 1220 from TracFone 10X better.

I would not recommend this phone to anyone. I have problems with my eyes so I absolutely hated the fact the screen was so small. There were no features on it. The phone was so old that there were no more house chargers for it. Fortunately, I did find a car charger for it, although I hated having to go outside to charge my phone in the car. After about a month, the phone would not charge at all.

dear Selena...
if i were you i'd be glad if someone will stole this pfone from me. i have it for 1 year and what can i say? it sucked! i don't have to say another word about the screen - everybody knows - but let's take the games : if u ever take out the sim out f the pfone you will loose all the results. and ...if u really like those gams u must be a child. and oh yeah.. after one yeah imagine my little screen all black -or blue- with some horizontal white -or red- lines. i was really desapointed by that and imagine that i have a nokia phone since 2003 wich is more than ok. please forget about motorola v171!!!

Decent phone, got mine thru NET 10, customer service thru NET 10 really stinks though unless you can understand someone with a very heavy Indian accent. That's one thing that really irks me is when customer service is overseas or all customer service reps are hard to understand.

this is a phone to make and get calls.
if you're looking for something to also take pictures, watch a movie on, heat up your lunch, jump your car's dead battery or give someone CPR with, you're expecting too much.
anyone with common sense will be happy with this phone, it does what it's suppose to do.

I've had this phone for a year now. It is possible to get new ringtones for it. Find a magazine that has lists of ringtones and details on how to get them. It works, trust me.

It's a good phone. Explore the broswer, you might find some great information and pictures for your background.
