1 No Roaming Available
Horrible plan for PrePaid Cell phone. As I went through my state of Wisconsin, I had no signal 95% of the time. On the T-Mobile PrePaid phones, they do not have roaming!! Not a good investment!! Stay away from T-Mobile - Very Deceiving!
2 Much Better than Verizon
I couldn't be happier with this lightweight and thoroughly useful device. I wanted a simply pre-paid phone with good coverage and reception. It delivers this in spades.
The features, such as instant access to the lates news and sports is wonderful. The keys and menus are logically laid out and very easy to learn.
I first tried a phone from Verizon Wireless that was an unmitigated disaster. The differences between the two plans and the phones couldn't be more stark.
I heartily recommend this phone and T-Mobile's pre-paid plan.
3 " CUTE " N NOTHING ELSE !
THIS IS A VERY ATTRACTIVE LOOKING PHONE , AND THAT'S ABOUT IT FOLKS !.
YOU CAN SEND A TEXT BUT NO INSTANT MESSENGER , RING TONES SOUND FAKE ! IF THIS IS A PRE-PAID ACCOUNT ? WATCH OUT " YOU WILL SOON RUN OUT OF MINS .... TRYING TO USE AIM ( AOL'S INSTANT MESSENGER ) THE PICTURES ....WALLPAPER & SCREEN SAVER IS IN CARTOONISH ....GOOD FOR TEENS NOT ADULTS ! OKAY ENOUGH SAID ........
4 My baby!
I adore this phone! I got it for Christmas and used it everyday! It had no bad reception, and great lighting. The only thing I can really argue about the phone is the fact that I cannot receive pictures autmatically because of the pay-as-you-go plan.
I love the features that this phone offers, the great lighting, the colors are absolutely beautiful. I can have perfect reception any time, any where. I love it!
Sadly, this phone was STOLEN from me during my track practice! Grr, I wish I would have taken good care of it...I totally regret having not taken better care of it. This phone is like my baby! I actually cried when I found out I couldn't get it back!
5 AWSOME PHONE
This phone has all you need, games, color screen, flip, and the coolest part about it is the base lights up in different patterns for different things like opening, closing, turning on, turning off the phone, calls etc. Even thought it doesnt have a camera built in you can buy an attachment but if you want pictures get a real camera! The phone also has speakerphone which helps in loud places or so everyone can hear the reception is very good, it is better than any other T-Mobile phone ive had. The unique antenna serves as a very good handle. Although it has its pros some of the cons include it takes a while to load games and some other things. The ringtones are ok, but i bought new ones and same with the pictures but t-mobile has good ringtones / pictures to download.
If you can't afford / dont want a contract the prepaid phone is awsome or even if you do want a contract its availible for both.
If you are a previous T-Mobile customer you can remove the sim card from your old phone and put it in the new one and keep your number and phone book
6 Good plan for occasional use
The in-laws came in from out of country, and by the third day, we decided that they needed a cell phone. After researching for a day or so, I found the T-Mobile plan. For us, it was perfect, since we would only be using it occasionally, but I would not reccomend it for those who plan on using their phones a lot- you have to spend over $250 on minutes to get their best rates, and even then you have to buy $100 dollar cards. However, the major perk is that after 90 days, they will unlock your phone for free, so you can use another company's service (i.e. Cingular or AT&T, or local companies abroad). The phone itself is wonderful, very easy to use- my father-in-law, who has trouble with e-mail, can use it. I recommend this phone and plan for anyone who needs a phone every now and then.
7 Good prepaid plan and phone
After researching many wireless prepaid including virgin mobile, t-mobile, verizon freeup etc... I have found that T-Mobile is by far the best...I bought this prepaid phone a few days ago and I already love it...The coverage is great and the prepaid cards are easy to find and use...Activation was simple and easy...The phone is great the only downfalls being somewhat of a small screen and a bit pricy but I feel it was worth the money...T-mobile also has the Gold Rewards program which is great because after you spend $250 on your account you recieve the Gold Reward Minutes whenever you buy another prepaid card...With this program you recieve more minutes that you usually would...I highly reccommend this prepaid plan and phone to anyone interested in a prepaid wireless plan.
8 Best for the money
I checked several pre-paid plans and T-Mobile's seems to be the best. The Siemens phone has all the extras that you would want and is very easy to use and set up. For those who live in south Orange County California, the T-Mobile calling area has been a pleasant surprise with no dead areas noted so far. Sprint's service in this area was TERRIBLE with numerous dead spots. The pay as you go phone plan is wonderful if you are a light user of your cell phone. If you are one of those people who seem to live and breath on their cell phone, a regular calling plan is better.
9 This cellphone is OK
