Poor 3

The Worst Phone I Have Ever Owned (Out of 6)

giraffevslion has owned it for less than year before publishing this review

Every text I send ends with either "..." or "..." and arrows? It's not my signature, I have no idea why it happens/how to make it stop. The phone cuts off other people's texts. The T9 function sometimes gets stuck on a word and deletes the entire message after freezing.
VM put a cap on storage so it can only save 75 texts at a time.

About 4 months ago the display started to become finicky. When I open the phone the display goes white and I have to take the battery out and restart the phone in order to do ANYTHING. Now it sometimes go blank even if I do not open the display. I never know it will decide to work or not.
The quality of the calls has also diminished. When I make/receive calls the sound fades in and out. Even when the volume is turned all the way up I can barely hear.
The camera is crap.
When the battery begins to die, the display gets dark and you can't send/receive text messages but can sometimes make/receive calls.

I do not use my phone other than texting and infrequent phone calls. I do not abuse my phone-- I haven't dropped this phone more than a couple times (not more than 4 feet), I certainly haven't dropped it in the toilet or anything of that nature. I didn't even use this phone from June to September since Virgin Mobile doesn't cover the majority of Maine.

There are more issues I could bring up, but these are the most irksome. And I paid $50 for this! On sale! What a rip off/huge regret. Do NOT purchase this phone.

Its just a cheap and poorly made phone...sorry

Slash Text Issues

How do i get rid of the "re:" feature at the beginning of every text message reply i send?  even though i delete it, it still appears on my friends phone.  also, i don't like how if my phone has been off, and someone has sent me a text message, it will not give me the "real" time it was sent, but the time it is currently so i have no idea when the text message was really sent.  anyone know how to fix these two problems?
