If you need a simple, no-frills phone that keeps you in touch, the Motorola C139 deserves a serious look. Sacrificing neither function nor style to meet your everyday communication needs, the compact, easy-to-use design is pocket friendly. The C139 also features up to 8 hours of talk time, text messaging, 20 preloaded ringtones, and a vivid color TFT display for easy viewing. It's the perfect complement to Tracfone prepaid wireless service.

Tracfone provides nationwide prepaid wireless service using the nation's leading cellular providers to create a national footprint covering 99 percent of the U.S. population. This gives you service everywhere cellular service is available. You can buy bundles of minutes (which must be used within a set time limit of 90 to 365 days) from the Tracfone web site on your home PC or directly from your phone's web browser. This phone ships with a number of handy Tracfone services, including free voice mail, free caller ID, and free call waiting. And perhaps most importantly, the integrated TracFone Airtime Balance Display shows you how much airtime you've used and how much is left, so you can control your costs. Phone Features
The basic black Motorola C139 has a cool, aerodynamic candybar design with rounded corners at the top and bottom and rubberized sidings for a good grip. Its small shape fits comfortably in your hand and the backlit keypad is designed for easy dialing. The 1.25-inch screen has a 96 x 65-pixel resolution and support for 65K colors. The C139 supports storage of up to 100 phone numbers and contacts within the phone's memory as well as 250 contacts stored on the SIM card.

 Nice prepaid service July 27, 2006

I have been using tracfone for seven months and I am satisfied with it. I have light cell phone usage and it costs me less than 15 dollars a month. The signal is good, no matter in the city of Boston or in the countryside of PA. I have not dealt with their custom service though. Tracfone has a promotion of 120 free minutes if you get an invitation from other users before you activate it. Let me know if you need one. I will send you an invitation instantly. And I can help you even if you have already activated it recently.
 Pick another TracFone reciever August 23, 2006

This review is for the phone unit itself - Not the TracFone service.
Folks, stay away from this phone. I liked it a lot for the first 60 days, then it 'died' and lost my call information, my minutes and everything else. TracFone says that they are having big problems with the C139. They're sending me another one, but that doesn't make me comfortable. What happens when it dies?
Meanwhile, I'm without a phone for over a week now.
Save yourself some headaches. Pick another phone.
 Good basic phone August 9, 2006

The C139 is the cheapest model in Tracfone's lineup. It's a very good basic phone that gives you good voice clarity and easy text messaging. Because Tracfone doesn't have a lot of services to offer (which isn't a bad thing for people who only want basic cellular service), this phone doesn't give you music downloads or live TV (which on other carriers are mostly misleading hype anyway). The color screen is small but good-quality. The only thing I don't like is Tracfone's 60-day refill polic: you must refill every 60 days to keep your account active; otherwise you forfeit your number and balance. Other prepaid providers like Speak Out Wireless (from 7-Eleven) give you one full year of usage.

My tracfone has worked out good so far. Customer service is fine and the free voicemail was easy to set up and use. If you decide to get a tracfone, please email me for a quick referral before activating it- we each will get 120 free minutes from the 'refer a friend' program. I'll also send you the simple instructions to follow. I've used Tracfone for quite a while, so i should be able to answer any questions you might have.
ps even if you have activated in the last few weeks i should be able to get us the free minutes.
 Buy a Nokia phone - They have free incoming text messages August 13, 2006

This phone may look cool, but I'd recommend the Nokia 1100 or one of the other Nokia phones instead. Sure, the Motorola C139 looks cool, but you'll be charged 0.3 units per outgoing & INCOMING text message. You're only charged for outgoing messages with the Nokia Tracfones. The Tracfone user guide says that all incoming messages are free. I called their technical support and they told me that this is incorrect. They confirmed that incoming messages are chargeable for this handset and some other Motorola's. That's probably why the price was reduced to $18.88 in Walmart. I already have a Nokia 1100 and can confirm that I've never been billed for incoming messages. I got the C139 to replace my 1100 since I've had it a while and it's starting to look a bit scruffy. I used the Tracfone "refer a friend" to get 140 minutes free (worth approx. $50). Once I've used this credit, I'm going to throw my C139 away and get another Nokia Tracfone.
