I continue to build up minutes, which ends up giving all the phone service I need for only fifteen bucks a month. I recently ordered a V176 from them, and with the included 600 minute airtime card and the 300 minutes upon activiation they ended up paying me thirty bucks to take it.
The vehemence with which some embrace their ignorance is indeed amazing.

The V176 Motorola works great. 10-cents per minutes ends up cheaper than any other phone unless you talk for long periods. Get something like MagicJack for longer calls.

Yes, Net10 is a scam, it's all an elaborate ruse to trick you, specifically, out of your money. No glitches or mistakes ever occur, it's simply unadulterated malice mixed with a healthy dose of duplicitous greed.

Been with net 10 for two years no problems.If you go to net10 website you can get a excellent deal on the v176.For prepaid net10 in my opinion is the best.Best rate for minutes and the best part plenty of time to use those minutes.

Update on getting SIM card. It came special delivery 2 days. I was impressed. Once again, called Net10 and immediately got a tech and we got the phone activated. I actually have better coverage at my home than my daughters expensive, fancy sprint phone. It may be fun to have the fancy stuff, but this price is right for my needs. I am pleased with customer service and the phone so far.

I just got this phone this weekend. It is quite simple and easy to operate. If you want bells and whistles, pay more for a different phone, but it looks like a good sturdy basic phone. I am having trouble activating the phone, but I wanted to say that Net 10 answers the tech line immediately. No wait. I am impressed so far with their help. They are sending me a new SIM card. So I haven't been able to try out this phone yet. I have read bad things about the company, so far, I have had good tech support.

I've had this phone for about a year now (Net10), and it's the best I've found yet for the prepaid market. It feels heavier and sturdier, and it does withstand a few drops now and then. The only thing I would have liked to see was maybe an external screen, but no biggie. It's a PHONE. It's not an iPod or a camera, and it won't do your laundry, but it talks clean and clear and it's durable.

It is a verry good phone, with nice display, nice keyboard lightning, but I don't understand one thing: whre is java midp 2.0, because I've tried to download and install opera mini, and I couldn't because it says: your phone is not java compatible.
Is that true?

SOmeone please explain how you can hook this phone up to USB. I see two ports, one for a charger and one for headphones! What am I missing? I would like to be able to download my phonebook without typing it all in.

I wanted a good and dependable Tracfone for occasional use and that's exactly what I got. Don't need to take pictures or listen to music through a phone. Lot's of features to select from and the voice quality is excellent. Fits extremely well in an after market ($19) swiveling belt holder. Battery life is exceptional. A very good, not too basic, dependable cell phone. Highly recommended.

Good phone, but Net10 wouldn't let me re-up access!!! I tried online, got error message after credit card transfer of $100 for 1000 minutes. They wouldn't give time -- then wouldn't refund money, then the refunded money shows up in my account, much later, BUT dated for BEFORE my access time elapsed.
WTF? Spent SEVEN HOURS+ on phone with them trying to rectify problem, before asking for refund, several days AFTER access period elapsed. (how did the money show up dated as refunded to my account, BEFORE I asked for the money back-when I was still trying to extend tyhe service contract? I think now, that it was a deliberate scam on their part!) I think they sell the things on purpose just to rip people off! I had great hopes for Net10, but they are impossible! Avoid buying the v176 from them. Try instead buying an unlocked phone from somewhere else that might accept a TracPhone/Net10 sim card. As it is, I spent 70$ for a phone that I used 200 minutes on, in a two month period, without being able (through no fault of my own) to extend service. Avoid these people like the plague! They are not the answer!

I bought this phone for two reasons.
One, to let my son contact me or his mother in the event of an emergency. So far it works well as a simple phone.
Two, so my son and I could develop software for cell phones. The phone is advertised to have a USB connection to connect with my PC. As far as I can tell, there is no USB connection -- mini, micro, or otherwise. Maybe it was there originally but was removed when then phone was "refurbished". I don't know. But it's not there now. And I needed the USB connection.
So the phone is only half useful to me. Had I only wanted a phone, I would have bought an even cheaper one. It's disappointing, but I do have to say the phone does work well.

scooby, what r u talking about, i have tracfone and they allow me to download rigtones and pictures... just go to www.tracfone.com and go to services and support go click on ringtones and more. Enter your serial number (IMEI number) and your phone number and press continue. Then download away on your ringtones, you choose them and when you find the one you want click buy and then choose your payment-- airtime units deducted or $1.99 on your credit card but you would need to make a account to do it that way.

Really like this phone, have had it for a few months now, and I can't complain. I have downloaded ringtones and images to it and have had no problems. It's a very nice phone, and it's really easy to use. Speakerphone feature is nice. I wish it had a power on/off feature like other Motos, but I'll live. Overall, I love this phone, glad I bought it.
