        Ahh this was my first cellphone, thing was pretty durable and dependable.
        Had it for years until I sold it to a guy who needed it pretty badly.
        Pretty basic but got the job done.

                    I've had a V171 for 6 years now and it's worked without a hitch. It's a good basic phone and being a camshell protects the screen from damage and the buttons getting pressed by car keys etc while in my pocket.

                        This phone is simple to use and is affordable! It has the basics and what else do you need! NET10 really does provide the greatest PrePaid deals. This phone is perfect if you are looking at getting your first phone!

                          I have this phone with Net10. It's a good phone and since it's free(the phone is $29.99 and comes with 300 min.), you can't complain. I just need a basic phone so this phone fits the bill.

                                  I like this phone. I have the v171 since july 2008 (in Argentina v172). it had the flex broken so I have to "bend" it to see the screen. then it fell from 5-6 meters high and broke the screen. it looked like there was a bat hanging from the screen. then I fixed it until it broke again and I had to buy another one. (I bought another v171). however i like it because it is a simple phone and its low price makes easy purchase. plus it's small and lightweight. I dont mind the small screen or the crapy ringtones. i just use it as a phone and text message
                                  i hope my opinion was helpful to you
                                  saludos

                                    why make this phone? who would buy it? oh, well my parents got them and (glad I didnt get one) the only reason they got the was because they were cheap. my parents really are cheap too. They won't even let me get a phone. I told them at least get razors, they have more to them, but NO! I'm a sad person rite now.....

                                      this phone, well, let's just say it's not the best phone I've ever seen. i mean, there is no camera, the screen is tiny, and you cant even get it in any other color than silver! the antenna sticking up makes it look out-of-style, i would much rather have any other phone in the world than this one. Or, i would rather not even have a phone at all!
