 Frustrated and I don't even have service yet. June 15, 2007
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I spent weeks to find what I thought was the best plan for the money, sent away for the V171 (it was only 30 bucks through Net10) and waited. The first problem I encountered was them sending it Fedex with the signature required option. I work late and it took me a week to finally get to the Fedex warehouse to pick up the phone.
My next challenge was to have my old number transferred. That was 10 days ago and nothing yet. I checked the website which said if the problem hadn't been resolved within 24-48 hours to call customer service. Since I live on the West coast, by the time I got home, they were closed. I finally got through to them today and all they would say was "it will be 24-48 hours" with absolutely no information on where the transfer process stood.
As if the bad Net10 customer service isn't frustrating enough, the phone looses it's charge within 3 days when it's turned off and only lasts about a day when it's on. My old Virgin phone would last a week on one charge.
Once they get my number transferred I get to find out how long it takes to actually activate the thing. Oh well, I guess you get what you pay for.

I have been sent two of these phones and none of them worked without some kind of defect. I am now in the process of purchasing another phone, but not this one!
 THE BEST PREPAID CELL PHONE April 9, 2007

I HAVE HAD THIS MOTOROLA V171 FOR A YEAR NOW AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. THE FEATURES ARE SO EASY TO UNDERSTAND. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPS FOR NET 10 WIRELESS ARE VERY HARD TO UNDERSTAND. THIS PHONE IS A NET 10 WIRELESS PHONE. NET 10 WIRELESS IS A SUBSIDIARY OF TRACFONE. I WOULD THIS PHONE TO ANYBODY LOOKING FOR A PREPAID CELL PHONE PLAN. I LOVE IT BECAUSE ONLY FOR A LIMITED TIME YOU GET 300 MINUTES FREE UPON ACTIVATION OF YOUR PHONE. I WOULD ALSO STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT IF ANYBODY PURCHASES THIS MOTOROLA ACTIVATE IT ON [...] ITS A WHOLE LOT EASIER THAN CALLING.
Not worth the price March 9, 2007

My Motorola C139 with Net10 crashed on me. I called Net10 and they promptly sent me out a new phone, except they sent me this flip phone (V171). I liked my candy bar phone and didn't want this flip piece of junk. I was happy with Net10 service up to the point of my old phone failing, and then things quickly went downhill. Net10 would not transfer my number to the replacement phone, even though I had minutes available on the old phone.
I gave my wife the V171 to use and took back from her our Cingular phone, which works awesome with no problems. She had problems all the time with the V171. She had to always type in the area codes for all numbers dialed, even the local numbers. She also had problems trying to dial a number and the phone would not dial after pressing all the numbers in the phone and hitting send. In my opinion, the V171 is completely worthless.
Overall, I am a very dissatisfied customer. My recommendation is to stay away from this phone and this service. Go shop Cingular for all the great deals they have!
 Pretty happy February 7, 2007

I've had this phone (V171) for almost a year now. I've had no complaints at all. The battery has excellent life on it. My kids have thrown this phone, I've dropped it, it sits in my purse - yet the phone doesn't have a single scratch, crack, smudge on it and it has never quit working. I get great reception even in my house, where my old Nokia phone failed. The ringtones are okay but for a prepaid it's good. The only complaint that I have is the inability to add a wallpaper to it. It has empty spaces for it yet I have yet to find out how. Overall, I am very happy though. Net10 prices are awesome!!
