I’ve had a a couple of different prepaid cell phones, and I find Net10 is the best. This phone is full of features, yet super easy to set up and use. Customer service for Net10 is very helpful, unlike other phone companies. And at 10 cents a minute you can’t top the value. Unlike other carries, you don’t have to buy a huge amount of minutes to get a lower price. No matter how many minutes you buy with net10 it is always 10 cents a minute. -

My dad bought a Net 10 phone- and is the best reception in our South East Alaska location. The set-up instructions are very easy. This model is my first Net 10 phone and DOES NOT work for someone who bought a cell phone in a different country. Even though the country prefix is listed in the booklet somehow I am not allowed to connect. However, due to the great NATIONWIDE service it is definitely worth it to purchase this phone and save a lot of money.Ditching the corporate contract soon and Net 10 assigns you a local cell phone number wherever you are.

I bought a refurbished version of this phone from Net 10′s website. True, the value of net10 is great. I paid $21 for the phone, 300 automatic minutes for 2 months – plus they threw in a 200 minute card for free. An amazing deal. The back of the phone/battery lid is very cheap and thin. When I dial a number I feel movement behind the phone that makes it feel cheap. The set up of the Samsung T201g is very basic, nice ringtones- but this is my biggest complaint. The contrast and light is EXTREMELY bright to the point where I’m having problems with eyes. I have the contrast set correctly and everything is as low as it goes. Still- my eyes strain looking at it, and I’m pretty young still. lol. Anyway. The battery life is “ok” seems to go kind of fast, but it’s down 2 bars in two days after a full charge- have not used it much- just stand by. Other than the battery lid and brightness of the phone, I like it. This phone blocks unwanted callers, which is awesome. I don’t love it, but I don’t hate it. My eyes are telling me to go with another model. I have not had much success with Samsung products in the past, so this will be the last I will buy from them. -

Wonderful phone! Couldn’t be more pleased with this purchase. I heard about it through a few friends and did some research and found this was the phone for my mom
It is perfect for her. I just wanted to share some information I came across recently about a prepaid plan called StraightTalk. I know that it is available at Walmart and when compared to a montly contract, you save over $500 a year just being on prepaid. Its just such a great deal I thought I would pass the helpful info along to anyone who is looking to save some money. Anyways, my mom loves this phone and I give it a high rating! -

I bought this phone for my 70+ year old mother who has up til now refused to use a cell phone. She was going on vacation and I wanted to make sure that she would be able to stay in contact in case of an emergency. She has always resisted getting a phone because of the confusing contracts and the expense. Also, she is content to be out of contact and not have her children “checking up on her” all the time.
I was skeptical about whether she would use it but surprise surprise… she loves it. She is happy to be able to buy minutes as needed and be able to stay in contact when she wants. This phone was the best choice because it is a flip phone so she does not have to worry about it turning on in her purse or whether she has ended her call. The buttons are suitable for her fingers and the numbers show up large on the screen so it is easy to see what you dialed. Also, it is so small and light, it fits in her purse or her pocket very nicely- even with the case I got. I love knowing that she has a way to call for help if she is out and about or to call for a taxi if needed because payphones are getting rare and cell phones are a necessity in my opinion. In addition, the phone seems to hold a charge well and the service areas were plentiful and great sound. The few times I noticed reduced coverage, I just moved a few feet and I was back to multiple bars and my mother had no problems making her calls.
Phone is also easy to use. Clearly shows the caller on the display even with the phone closed. And, if it rings, press green to answer and red to end the call. That’s all you really need to know.
Anyway, there were a few minor cons to this phone: the navigation buttons (arrows) were a little sensitive and you had to be careful when using these and often while I was programming me and my siblings into my mom’s contact list, I had to go back and redo. No big deal but this might be frustrating to my mother if one of us is not around to program the phone for her (not a problem). Also, the menu is not the easiest thing for an older person who has resisted technology to navigate. I was able to show mom the basics like how to get her messages and how to check the minutes left and how to find contacts (sort of) but changing the ring tones and finding the calculator will not be happening. And, the construction felt a little lesser quality. When I dropped the phone, the back cover popped off but is did go back on easily and it did not just come off when handling. I really had to press on it to get it off when I actually tried so I guess it is sturdy enough for an older person who will leave it in her purse. I would not recommend it for an active teenager who would be putting it in a pocket repeatedly and being alot rougher with the handling.
All in all this is a great phone and service for someone who may be an occasional user and who wants to lowest rate with no contract hassles. Very easy to navigate the basic features of making and answering calls. True, this phone is no frills but not everyone cares about a camera and email on their phone. You cannot beat 10 cents a minute with no daily fees. And if you purchase additional minutes on the net 10 website, there were a few offers that made the minutes even cheaper (slightly). And, unlike some phones and services that are geared toward older people, this service does not charge your credit card each month and you have the freedom to use as many minutes as you need to whenever you want since more minutes are just a purchase away adn you are not charged a higher rate per minute for using more than the plan allows.
And… mom called me from the airport where she changed planes to let me know her plane had a delay; she called to tell me when she landed; when she went out, she called the taxi service that she preferred to use instead of being forced to use the only one (less desirable to her) that was present; on vacation, she called my sister to tell her that she was talking to her from the beach; she called her own sister to tell her that she finally had a cell phone; and when we went shopping at an outdoor outlet mall, she went to one store while I went to another and she called me to let me know that she was not waiting for me and was going to go to check out another store and told me to call her when I was finished in line. Success!!
