 This phone can be annoying January 24, 2008

I bought this phone to replace an old "pay as you go" phone that had broken. This is a decent phone, it does all the necessary functions like calling and text messaging and all that stuff you may need to use. There's a couple of things that annoy me about this phone though. The first thing I noticed was that it doesn't show a clock on the main screen. I'm one of those people that uses their phone as a clock since I don't have a wristwatch. It is possible to set up the screen saver to show the time, however, so it's not too bad. The second thing that really gets to me is that it randomly lights up, even when I don't touch any buttons. If I'm near any speakers when it lights up (within 15 feet) the speakers emit an obnoxious feedback. This is really bad at night, when I'm sleeping and it lights up and my stereo goes nuts.
Otherwise, it's a decent phone, it's a little big but I don't mind that much. There's definitely better phones you could get in the same price range.

My parents have this phone with another pay as you go provider, and both my brother and I have spent hours searching for the volume control, to no avail. This phone is a piece of junk. My parents are hard of hearing, and have trouble with this phone. I am not, and I can barely hear anyone on the other end. I goggled the manual, and it appears, there is NO volume control. Order another phone with your service.
Good phone, but a few inconveniences June 5, 2008

This is an inexpensive phone, I paid $19.99 for it on sale, and it came with $30 worth of minutes with Net10. Couldn't beat the deal, and I had read fairly good reviews about the call clarity and battery life which were my main concerns, so I bought it. I am not UNhappy with it, but will probably upgrade when I see a good deal on a better phone.
PRO:
- Great reception
- Great call clarity
- GREAT battery life
- Easy to use
CON:
- Keys are small
- Keys are so sensitive I inadvertenly dial a call just by putting the phone in my purse. Must make it a habit to lock keys EVERY time I'm done, which is a pain.
- Ear piece is actually at the top of the phone, so you have to hold it slightly below your ear to hear. Works OK, just a little awkward to get used to.
I do like Net10 service. I am not a heavy phone user, perhaps 30 min/week, I do not want to 'surf' from my phone, or take pics. So the Nokia 1600 with Net10 is perfect and cheap for a basic user like me.
Their customer service leaves something to be desired, but only because it takes time to clearly understand each other and get the issue resolved. They put you on hold to talk to their 'manager', repeat things, etc. But they are courteous and DO get the job done ... just allow a little extra time and only call when you are feeling calm and patient.
HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE February 16, 2008

Did not even get to activate the phone (Nokia phone seemed to work fine).
Tried to activate on the NET10 website...Serial Number Error.
Called the 1-866 number to activate, was hung up on 4 times after entering information such as serial number etc..."A customer agent will assist you" then nothing. Called "tech support" complete JOKE! First line agent inept. Kept repeating back to me whatever I said then would just tell me that the phone was inactive...hello that is why we are on the phone here...to "activate" the phone. Trish the supervisor it took 3 attempts to reach, told me to fax all of my information including the phone papers and my receipt from purchase...U have got to be kidding! 24-48 hours for a response and I haven't even activated a phone? Not a chance. Lucky for me Wal Mart graciously gave all my money back. I will stick with Verizon, they have spoiled me with their AWESOME customer service.
Technical Service Horrible July 21, 2008
R. E. Brown (Orange Park, Fl United States)
I purchased 1000 minutes for my phone on July 11. I have called them 10 times exactly, each time it was escalated and repeated to me the phone would be active within 24 to 48 minutes. Each time they said they would call me. No call. Issue still not resolved and today is July 21, 2008. 2 people called me after I told them repeatedly I would be in on weekend to call on Monday. I called the center back and was told they have no report that anyone called me. It will be *resolved* within 24 to 48 hours. Have filed FCC and BBB complaints. Avoid this phone and telephone service. Avoid it all costs!
