This is a great phone. Most of the complaints I read pertain to features that really aren't necessary. The basics you need for communication are there and everything works just as intended. Yes, I've had to talk to Net 10 phone reps a few times but anybody that says these people lack courtesy and knowledge either works for another company or lack brains of their own. The Net 10 people have ALWAYS been helpful and knowledgeable. Bravo to both Motorola and Net 10.

Pretty good phone. I have used cingular and had a motorola v120 it had static all of the time, but I think it was cingular service. I used us cellular too and my contract just ran out. I had to pay $80.00 a month for the main phone and a $9.99 add a line turned out to be more. I dont to have to have a contract. This net 10 phone is great for no contract. You are in charge. I wish it had better ringers (real music) but this is for an emergency if needed. I like the phone.

Hey I just got this phone 6-16-06 for my birthday. It's the best prepaid phone you can get! I agree about the only thing is the small screen and inability to get ringtones directly from the phone. Other than that its great!

Net10 service is good if you do not need tech support. They are polite, but unreliable and incompetent.

I just got this phone. The screen is really tiny and the games are pathetic. The only good thing about it is it's really cheap.

Hi, i just got this phone, and I think it is quite good. I have nothing against it, except from the tiny, tiny screen! Sorry, but it is soo small! Luv Babe.

This is my second cell phone. I have only had pre paid phones because I am just to stubborn to have a contract, plus this is cheaper for me since I don't use it as my main phone. My only issue is that the volume is not loud enough for me sometimes. I have trouble hearing people on the phone. A friend of mine has a nicer phone (with a more expensive plan) and I can hear on his fine. So I assume it's not my hearing.

I NEVER wanted to be tied to a cell phone. It's so rude to hold conversations in public, like everyone cares to hear!!! But, I relented when I was faced with an emergency. I got this as my first cell phone (I'm 59) when I was evacuated from New Orleans for Hurricane Katrina and I was in Tennessee for a while. Let me say the service has been great! And the price, fantastic. Driving home from TN when we could get back home I continued to have good service (except where cells were down and NO ONE had service). Can't complain about the cost either. Look during the day my children, husband and friends can get me at the office. In the evening I'm at home or taking dance lessons, playing tennis or shopping. I can be reached on my reliable V171 w/Net 10 service. Who has to play games or listen to music or take pics from a phone. Come on, I'm a baby-boomer and like nice things, but I don't like throwing my $$$ away. My friends with expensive plans are always having trouble with their phones. So far, so good!

This is a great phone, i dropped the bugger so many times and even my dog got ahold of it and it was still going strong! it was my first phone, and although it doesnt have all the features its great for someone that just wants to be able to call like an emergancy phone :P

You guys really need to stop bitching about the ringtones...it's a cheap phone with a cheap plan, so obviously it won't have a wap browser, or a camera. Plus, go to NET10 to buy ringtones...sure they may not be MP3 Ringtones, but if you want to listen to music go buy a creative zen micro MP3 player (IPODs suck!) and if you want to take pics than use a digital camera! It's a phone, not a supercomputer.
