and the screen and battery are still perfectly functional.Great battery life as well. It is also very inexpensive.Also, I attest to the main review that this phone is a "TERMINATOR" phone, meaning it is EXTREMELY resistant to almost all forms of physical harm. EVER. Note that it is a "goPhone" but you can use any monthly ATT service with it just by putting your SIM card in. The only complaint I would make is that entering new contacts into the address book is somewhat difficult and counter-intuitive until you learn how to do it.You won't regret buying this phone. I have never tried soaking it in water, but I have dropped it, thrown it, scraped it, kicked it etc.
And I am super-negligent when it comes to charging it.Of course, the phone really only has normal calling and basic texting. I have had the C168i for two years as a replacement for a different phone I broke. My friends make fun of me for my boring looking phone, but they have since gone through 4-5 $150-200 phones while my $20 "crap" phone is still going and going.This phone is perfect for someone who doesn't need a camera, videos, bell and whistles stuff, but wants a sturdy reliable phone with a long battery life. My battery has NEVER run out on me.
It is really lightweight and very cheap. I got this phone just as secondary cell phone. The receiption is good.But most of the time a windy noise is heard when somebody is calling to this cell phone.
this is a good little inexpensive phone - basic, but that's what I wanted. Just a phone for my pay as you go plan.
The only negative is that it doesn't have speaker phone capability. The graphics on the web are really very good, although accessing the web is rather slow. As for the person whose wife's phone was dead, it probably was jostled in her purse and was inadvertently turned on. It's small, light, and the keypad and screen really light up.you can actually see the screen in very bright sunlight. It's a simple matter of pushing two keys to turn on the lock or to shut it off, and sure saves a lot of battery life. The keypad IS quite small, and this could be a problem for most men, but it's perfect for me.
I prefer bar phones to any other kind (not sure why), and one of the first things I learned was to lock the keypad whenever I put it in my purse, in my pocket, or any other place where it would be possible for the phone to be accidentally turned on. I've been using this phone for about three weeks, now, and it truly is a nice little phone. It does everything I want a phone to do. The battery life is, as the others have said, amazing.
With our last phone we were always irritated that the battery seemed to be dead every time we tried to use it. Battery life is great.
It will be there, charged and ready when you need it. My husband forgot it was in his shirt pocket.
And the phone really does handle abuse very well. I'm not sure how it would work as an everyday phone, but for those who only need it occasionally I would highly recommend.
We never use cell phones, but thought we needed one for a long road trip. Based on reviews, we chose this phone.
The phone went through the washer and dryer and still works as well as ever.
