I have owned my phone for almost a year and a half now and have had absolutly no problems with it and believe me I am not gentle with it either!! besides my daughter using it as a teether and me droping it constantly it has done more than I could have expected. The battery life is GREAT...I use it everyday yet still only have to charge it every 3-4! For the most part I get great service, I was very surprised to find we even had servce at our house seeing the only verizon has ever offered service way out here but i really could not ask for more!
This is a great value. I switched after 15 years with US Cellular. 1000 minutes,1000 text, 30 Mb of data for $34.00 tax included with Nation wide calling ( free long distance ) per 30 days. I would recommend having a credit card to auto pay every 30 days to prevent phone from shutting off, you have to call customer service to do this but its worth the extra time. Verizon's network has a few dead spots like Urbana , Iowa ( check the map ) but for half the price of US Cellular , it saves me $480 per year. Wal-mart has limited phone selections but again for the price who cares- it send and receives calls and text messages fine. NO more over charge fee's. If you talk more than 16 hour per month get the unlimited text , talk and data plan for $48 tax included. If you don't have money to waste get this phone service!! You have to buy a straight talk phone $29 to $129 to use this plan- Also, Have Wal-mart set the phone up for you, they do all the work and it take about 15 minutes .
I have had my new Samsung phone about a week and a half, with Straight Talk unlimited calls, texting and internet access for email, etc. The quality of the photos is horrible, unless it's an up close shot, and the calls breakup, unless you get just the right angle for the signal to transmit & receive. I have yet been able to access anything online, as just about every time I try, it times out. Still, if I only use it for the unlimited calls and texting, it's still a relative bargain compared to my old Verizon cell server. I only got 450 minutes, and unlimited texting for $45 per month, which is what I now pay for unlimited minutes and texting. It takes a while to get used to the keyboard working differently than my LG phone, as well.
There are two different Samsung qwerty keyboard phones for $99.99 from straight talk..THIS one uses GSM service. The other uses CDMA service. That said, this is a nice little qwerty slider and Straight Talk is an excellent bang for your buck!
I like this phone but some of the features don't work well or at all. First of all my speakerphone doesn't work. I always have to hold the phone to my ear. In addition, I can't save my phone messages or numbers to my SD card. Consequently, I have to constantly delete text messages. Also, the phone will occasionally turn itself off while charging. These are not deal-breakers but it can be annoying at times. Oh, and one more thing, sometimes text and phone messages are delayed. Nevertheless, this phone has a lot of very nice features and the reception is excellent. I haven't had any dropped calls.
this phone uses at&t towers so if at&t don't work in your area don't get it i didn't know that before i purshassed this phone so it dosn't work that great i can recive text messages but no phone calls unless i stand in the middle of the road not good for the area i live in
First of all, I've had this phone for 4 months now. It has a good battery span. That's the only good thing i can say about it. Now the con's, About a week ago my phone started turning off by itself when i make a call or try to use the keyboard to text. I have to constantly take the battery out and restart the phone. Sometimes picture and txt messages have delays. Also, i called customer service about my phone they tried to reset it and of course it does nothing. Now i have to get a new one because now its getting worse. I can't hold a phone conversation without it turning completely off. What a waste of money. PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!!!!
I am very pleased with Straight Talk's service. I previously used T-Mobile's prepaid program, which was running almost $100/month. I currently use Straight Talk's $45/month unlimited plan, so it's saving me a considerable amount of money. That being said, I loved this phone at first. It fit comfortably in my hand and made texting easy. However, after about a month the back cover would not stay on. Even being in a pocket in my purse I would find it had fallen apart. Not a dealbreaker, but definitely a major annoyance. I just purchased a different model and will hopefully have better luck with it.
I had the Samsung R450 messager and i bought this new T40 for the video camera. Bad decision, not only did i lose my old number, but the difference in the service on the 2 phones was TERRIBLE! I had to use my boyfriend's R450 to call straight talk to have my stuff switched back to my old phone because i could not get service on the T40 for the life of me! However i did love that you could get online without opening the slide, and i LOVE LOVE LOVE the video camera. But i am not keeping the phone because i can lay it right beside my R450 which will have 3 bars to full service and the T40 will have no service to only one bar. I got a picture of the difference. The phones are right beside each other on my bed. My R450 is on the right, yes i realize it doesn't have the best service right there, but there is still a 2 bar difference. I Know the second is a little bright, but there you can see 1 bar on the T40 and 3 on my R450.
We recently found out that all the Straight Talk phones with SIM cards come preloaded with the ability to work off of either AT&T or T-Mobile towers, and you won't know until you either activate it or call them with the serial number. This was a bit frustrating as we just cancelled our T-mobile because of lack of reception, and the Straight Talk phone we got came preloaded with T-mobile. *grrrrrrr* After talking with the Straight Talk reps, we discovered that the only phones that run on Verizon towers are the ones without SIM cards. We have returned the Samsung 401C, and are in the process of waiting for our Samsung R451C to be delivered. Bottom line: if you want a phone that uses Verizon, then you'll need to make sure it doesn't have a SIM card. This can be done by calling their customer service and asking for a list of phones with a SIM.
