Motorola V195 Quadband GSM Cell Phone (Unlocked)

This phone has great reviews by CNET & individual owners, so I trust that it has good battery life & is a good value overall. You should note that the retailer "DBROTH" selling this phone as unlocked is actually selling locked phones which will require a subsidy code. Any phone sold as unlocked should not require a subsidy code, which indicates that the phone can only be used under contract from a cell service provider. Generally there are additional costs 4 unlocking cell phones & in some cases it is not possible 2 unlock a phone. Be aware that phones from DBROTH & potentially other vendors are not necessarily the bargain that they appear 2 be & indeed may be unusable.

I am very satisfied with this phone. I have had it 4 over two years & the battery still lasts almost two full days when I do a lot of talking. It is very simple, but it is very good quality. If you are looking 4 a durable phone with an excellent battery life & good signal strength then this is the phone 4 you. If you need all of the extra features that phones come with now a days, then do not buy this phone. All in all, I would highly recommend this 2 anyone who asked!

This phone doesn't have a camera or a fussy appearance but comes with all the essential features: color screen, good sound & signal strength, text messaging, & long-lasting battery. Depending on your plan you get internet access & dowloadable wallpapers, ringtones, mP3s. The phone works well & unlike my old virgin mobile phone I have had no problems with it so far & I love the T-mobile service. My only pet peeves are that it is a bit tricky 2 slide off the battery compartment cover, & the date isn't displayed on the screen.

Calling Features For added convenience, the V195 includes a number of handy productivity tools such as an alarm clock, a calculator, & a calendar. Equipped with PC Sync, the phone can make a cable connection with a computer 2 synchronize calendar & contact information between both units. And because the V195 is data-capable, you can use it as a modem 2 connect 2 the internet.
