Broken right out of the box. Too bad I took it overseas without testing it first. Junky little phone, a total waste of my time.

I bought two of these phones. They worked perfectly for the few weeks I was biking in France and Germany. Nice small pocket size. They held a good charge. I was able to call a local hotel and the US no sweat. This is a throw-away phone: don't expect a Blackberry. The SIM card worked loose once, I just pushed it back into place and was good to go. I'd recommend buying one for simple, basic service.

This is possibly THE worst cell phone I have ever seen, used, or heard of. Under no circumstances should you buy this phone. You would be better off getting anything. Have had this phone for less than two months and it is already broken. What a piece of junk. The phone is very small, the screen is unreadable, and it is very fragile. DO NOT BUY.

This phone seemed to work fine at first but has shown a tendency to drop calls. There appears to be a glitch that stops it from properly recognizing the sim card at times. The problem happens from time to time and is more than inconvenient when you are trying to make an important call.

What You Should Know

What is Bluetooth?
Bluetooth wireless technology is a short-range communications technology intended to replace the cables connecting portable and/or fixed devices while maintaining high levels of security. The key features of Bluetooth technology are robustness, low power, and low cost.

It’s more than seeing. It’s believing.
Before wires, everything was wireless. Nature found ways to connect it all—often on a very mysterious frequency. Bluetooth wireless technology takes its prompt from nature: harmonious, intuitive, seamless. Products with Bluetooth wireless technology communicate with a sense of purpose and elegant efficiency. Today, Bluetooth wireless technology can eliminate wires. In the future, it may make the word “wireless” entirely obsolete.  By then, Bluetooth freedom will be second nature.

Designed to make connectivity invisible and reliable. A perfect convergence of extraordinary technology and elegant simplicity. Hundreds of companies are on board. Thousands of engineers have contributed. Standards have been set. Specifications have been approved. More than one billion devices are in use. And people are experiencing just how far they can go. 

It’s integrating every dimension of productivity.
Where do we work? Desk. Sofa. Car. Hotel. Kitchen. Plane. Yard. It’s not one location; it’s everywhere. It’s not one application; it’s many. With Bluetooth wireless technology, our options are endless. It’s where we’d most expect it and where we’d least expect it—and everywhere in between. It adapts to how we work and how we live, transforming everyday tasks into everyday solutions. Surprising, nimble, ubiquitous. Seeking new applications and finding new opportunities—everywhere we turn.

Technically, Bluetooth is a specification for the use of low-power radio communications to wirelessly link phones, computers and other network devices over short distances. The name "Bluetooth" is borrowed from Harald Bluetooth, who was a king in Denmark more than 1,000 years ago (Computer people choose the strangest names!). Bluetooth technology was designed primarily to support simple wireless networking of personal consumer devices and peripherals, including cell phones, PDAs, and wireless headsets.

Note About Cell Phone
Expansion Memory!

Many cellular phones come with a slot for expansion memory, such as: Mini or MicroSD, MemoryStick Micro, or others.  Expansion memory is a great way to safeguard photos, contact lists, and other files.  On our product pages, we may show photos or diagrams of how this memory is inserted and used with the phone for informational purposes, since we try to be as comprehensive in our explanation of each phone's features and functions as possible.   However, additional expansion memory cards are NOT included with the phone (unless explicitly stated). 

Remember, regardless of the brand of your phone, use only compatible micro/mini SD, or memory stick cards, approved by your phone's manufacturer for use with your device. This is because not all expansion memory is designed for the same specifications (such as read/write speeds and capacity).  Incompatible cards may damage the card and the device and corrupt data stored on the card.

Also, when inserting a memory card into your phone, your phone may prompt to format the memory card.  When a memory card is reformatted, all data on the card is permanently lost. Some memory cards are supplied preformatted and others require formatting. Consult your memory card's user guide to find out if you must format the memory card before you can use it.  If you are using a memory card in your phone that was used on another device, such as a digital camera, or a PC, exercise caution as viruses can be transferred in this way.  Never insert a memory card into a computer that does not have up-to-date antivirus software.  Only open files on the memory card that are known safe.  When in doubt, insert the card in a compatible computer and run a antivirus scan.
