Nokia 1600 Prepaid Phone with 300 Minutes Included
My parents have this phone with another pay as you go provider, and both my brother and I have spent hours searching for the volume control, to no avail. This phone is a piece of junk. My parents are hard of hearing, and have trouble with this phone. I am not, and I can barely hear anyone on the other end. I goggled the manual, and it appears, there is NO volume control. Order another phone with your service.
My Net10 Nokia 1600 was unable to receive text messages from a Sprint Palm Centro. I contacted Net10 tech support, who insisted that the problem was on Sprint’s end. Net10 tech support couldn’t understand that a one-way conversation via text messaging isn’t very useful, whether it’s Sprint’s problem or not. (I have never had any problems sending messages from the Centro to any other phone.) I was hoping Net10 would at least try to figure out what was wrong. Maybe it was the admittedly old 1600; maybe it was network incompatibility; maybe it was Sprint’s fault. I’ll never know because tech support simply refused to help me, saying that my messaging was “working properly.”
I absolutely love this phone!! Especially Net10 has been great to me. There is this thing called the Net10 unlimited where without a contract you literally have unlimited texting, minutes, and web browsing. Plus I love the phone! The Net 10 bundles are great because they can be used for international calling and Purchase of Data calling.
It works well for the price. Consider it for just basic phone use. Forget about customer service. It stinks!. However, calls and gets calls for a modest price. That is it.
I purchased 1000 minutes for my phone on July 11. I have called them 10 times exactly, each time it was escalated and repeated to me the phone would be active within 24 to 48 minutes. Each time they said they would call me. No call. Issue still not resolved and today is July 21, 2008. 2 people called me after I told them repeatedly I would be in on weekend to call on Monday. I called the center back and was told they have no report that anyone called me. It will be *resolved* within 24 to 48 hours. Have filed FCC and BBB complaints. Avoid this phone and telephone service. Avoid it all costs!
