Hi everyone,
I bought this phone so when I am out thrift shopping I could access ebay to see if something is worth buying. Anyway I must be simple minded cause I can't figure this thing out for anything. I use net 10 as my carrier and I don't want to use all 200 minutes figuring this out. I type in ebay, get to their site. So I type in what I want for search and then what do I press to actually get it to search. Also I want to use facebook is there a way to input my user name and password so I don't have to use alot of time putting that in
thanks
Rachel

About the ringing problem where it gets louder, try going to Settings,and if it says anything about "ring styles or ring settings" try clicking that and look around for something....it should be able to change. if not, i'd stick with vibrate!

When taking a picture I was surprised that it turned the picture sideways for my phone- so i took it sideways then it was right side up. Qwerky little issue but other wise find it a great value for the money. I LOVE the QWERTY keyboard-a great time saver when adding the old contacts to my new phone.

I just purchased this phone- it seems fine and i like the options. It has 4-5 bars at my house. No problem with set up once I turned the phone off and then on again. it took a few minutes for my phone number to appear. I used a new number because I had no connections to the old one and the literature said transferring a number might take 2 days. One caution is to read the instructions FIRST. Apparently if you enter a number into some code entry on the phone you could ruin your phones ability to work. So just do not enter codes randomly and READ first. I wondered why they left such a critical entry area available to impulsive people who do not read first-I ALMOST entered the code there thinking that is how to activate then thought I should read first. Glad I did.

Staright talk free refurbished phone that is new in every part of it I can touch. skeptical I purchased less than unlimited monthly card with it. I will go unlimited next month. sure it isn't the fastest on the internet but the sound is great and service is verizon towers i guess. a slider qwerty phone that they obviously replace the keyboard on so its new. easy set-up easy use I am very pleased and I will buy another if needed. For free it wouldn't even be worth a hassle of trying to learn a new language for warranty anyway. Can't believe what a deal this is so far I recommend this phone highly. p.s. a friend bought a new one at walmart and there is NO difference at all. Go to straighttalk.com and see what samsung or refurbished phones they have its a deal I wouldn't believe unless I was holding it in my hands. check the return policy out in full though and for free be prepared to write it off is what I say despite the deal it is...good luck

I have loaded mp3 files onto the music player and created a list but the phone insists on playing the tracks in reverse order? These are teaching mp3's and the order in which they play is important. I feel the manual that came with the phone is very inadequate and assumes a person knows more than they do. How can I get the player to play the tracks from the first to the final track instead of reverse order???? This is my first phone with online capacity and just learned about texting and a little about facebook. I include this info hopefully to show my knowledge level with the phone.

Not a bad phone for the money. It's a little slow on the internet, and the keyboard takes some getting used to.
