WHERE IS PART TWO!!!!! I really enjoyed your review. It was wonderfull and very helpful. I am very greatful for this review especially the one pic about the back of the phone in open position showing the camera. That is not my real email

Keith Tyndall

I have been in contact with Robert, and he is still working on part 2. He's had some other things going on and hasn't been able to work on the review much lately, but he hopes to have it finished soon.

ilike this website and i usually depend on a good review to KNOW IF I SHOULD GET THE PHONE!!!!! right now i am but i need part 2 to realy know for sure. what happens if i get this and it isnt good? PLEASE HURRY

Vanessa

My phone doesn't automatically lock when I slide it closed. I need to wait about 30 seconds for it to automatically lock. That's plenty of time to throw it in my purse and accidentally hit the browswer button without realizing it, deducting a lot of minutes. Is the phone supposed to automatically lock when it's closed? Is there a way to make it lock when closed? Thanks.

Keith Tyndall

Vanessa - My T301G locks in about 5 or 6 seconds after sliding it closed.

Go to Menu->Settings->Set Phone->Slide Settings and make sure that the Down setting is Stop Operation.

I wish it would lock immediately when it closes, but 5 seconds is better than 30!

I LOVE my Tracfone!

I dumped my AT&T phone and got out of my cellphone contract when the company changed its terms. (Did you know that if they do that, it voids the contract? They don't tell you that, but I saw it on the Consumerist site and it worked! No termination fee too. Haha.)

Anyway, I got a prepaid Tracfone and I haven't ever had a problem with it. I wouldn't know about the customer service because I never had a reason to call them.

But the best thing about this is that there aren't any bills and I know what my costs are because I pay upfront for my calls. It's great!

Chris

I am not able to download any songs from another phone, which has bluetooth. WHY NOT??????

Keith Tyndall

Chris - For some reason known only to TracFone, they limit the bluetooth capabilities on their phones. I don't know why they do this, because it definitely leads to unhappy customers.

I have had TracFone for 4 years and I still have the first phone I ever purchased with them it's the Nokia 1100b and it still works fine but I wanted a new phone. I just purchased the Samsung T301G from the TracFone website. I have not yet activated it so I can't tell you how the features are but the first thing I look for in a phone is if I can get a case for it, thats the reason my old phone lasted so long. TracFone said I would get a TracPac case with my new phone which I did. It's a case that you have to take the phone out to use it. The other thing I was not to happy with is that the case is PINK now some people might be happy with this but i'm not a pink person. Other than that I like this phone so far!!!!Hopefully they don't send out PINK cases to men because I know my boyfriend would not be too happy!!!

Richard Sheasley

I have not found a case that works for carrying this in the pocket at all. Basically a skin that would protect the screen and still allow it to slide open for use. I have found a pouch case with a belt clip that the phone will slide down into but has to be removed to be used. It is from a company called fonegear.

Roger C. Fitchorn

In your opinion which is the BEST trac fone for reception? My area code is 61701 and I have had trouble with all yje tracfones I have owned. I have a LG401G which you said in your report was missing some kind of card. Since I can`t bring the report back up, can you tell me what kind of card and its function?? Thank you for your time and trouble. Iam glad i found your reports, they are very interesting.

Keith Tyndall

Roger - It's hard to say with TracFone has the BEST reception in a given area because it depends so much on tower locations, terrain, etc. If you've had consistent reception problems in your area, you might try going to a local retailer and see if they will let buy a phone and test the reception, and then return it for exchange or refund the reception is unacceptable.
