Samsung a157 Prepaid GoPhone AT
I bought this phone to be a simple, easy to use phone to replace a slider with a menu that was difficult to navigate. You don't have to use the SIM card for the prepaid plan that comes in the package. I just took the old SIM card out of the old cell phone and put it into this new phone, and that was all it took to switch the service for the old cell phone number to this phone.
Something awesome that discovered is that is phone changes on a standard microUSB cable, so if you already have a Kindle charger, it will work for this phone also!
It was very easy to add items to the "Go To" menu for quick access to make it silent and to check voicemail.
The only thing I don't like about this phone is that it doesn't have a screen on the outside. When a call comes in, you have to open the phone to see who is calling. Not much of an issue for me. It does have a default setting that when you open the phone during an incoming call, you can choose to answer or decline the call. It does not automatically answer when you open it.
Nice compact phone that slides easily into pocket or purse! I have been very happy with it!

This phone is totally awesome. It is excellent for text based internet, like Facebook. I totally love the T9Eab function, such that I find it more useful and quicker to use once (once you get used to it). So for, cell phones that have a keyboard, generally I feel that once you get used to T9Eab, you will never want to go back. Additionally, as a bonus with this function, you can add words to the T9Eab vocabulary.
BalasHapusIt does have a small screen. That can either be a bonus or a bane. For me, personally, it's a bonus.
The A157 is also perfect for checking one's email. I use Gmail, and here and there during most days, I use this phone to read my email.
Be warned though, there are some features of websites that this phone can't handle, such as buying at amazon.com. If you use Amazon, then I recommend connecting with a computer with a larger screen. Thus, though this phone can't buy via Amazon.com, it would probably not be good enough as a computer to use Amazon's functions anyway, and that is neither plus nor negative. The reason being, size. If you want a small phone, that is well constructed, and has some internet function capabilities, go for this phone!
I personally use my phone as an emergency phone, usually paying just $15. I spend $5 for internet, and roughly $9 in emergency calls. That is unbeatable!
The one thing I feel that is actually lacking with respect to the A157, is that it can't interface with say a laptop or a desktop to be a source of internet capability. Yet, for $20, I still feel that you really can't beat the price of this phone for the functionality of it.
Long story short, my iPhone 4S got smashed, and my iPhone 5 order hasn't shipped yet. I needed a quick, cheap phone to get me through the next week or two. This was the cheapest phone I could find; popped my SIM card into it (it requires the larger SIM, but you can still position the tiny sim and it works) and voila, working phone. Obviously it's basic; no camera, no internet, not even any games, but it makes calls and texts.
BalasHapusThis is a bare bones "calls and texts" phone, but I have to say it has fantastic reception and works for what I need it for. If you are in a bind and need a phone for temporary or basic purposes, I would highly recommend this particular one.
worked out well for us, it was complete when it arrived and it is just what we were looking for. We do not use cell phones except in and emergencies and we use little if any data. This phone replaced a phone that is at least 12-15 years old.
BalasHapusI just needed a simple phone for my son. I didn't want him to go to web and incrue a big bill and if he happenes to push the web button inadvertently,this phone shows a warning message. Many other phones usually just let you go to web and charge you later. So I like that a lot about this phone. It is also very simple to control the volume. I can hear him very well,too, and the batteries last very very long.It has many good ringtones. over all this is a great phone for calls and text messages.
BalasHapusThis phone is crazy cheap and just works. The T9 input system isn't as good as with Sony Ericsson (my previous phone), but again, it's crazy cheap! Good battery life, good sound and reception. If you factor in the price you can upgrade everything to "great".

I got this phone for my mom who lives abroad, but needs a phone when she visits me. Prepaid phone is so convenient, this phone is so slim, and easy to use. If you are looking for the basic function of calling and texting, this is perfect.
BalasHapusThis was the perfect gift for my mom who only will need limited access to a cell phone when away from home. Easy to read display and numbers big enough for her finger dexterity. Good budget price.
BalasHapusGreat cheap phone. We were looking to get rid of our land line and decided to get this cheapie cell phone to serve as the house emergency phone since our kids dont have cells. Super price, delivered quick and includes wall charger and ATT gophone SIM card. Will purchase a $100 card (which is my understanding will keep the phone active for a year). Sure beats a monthly phone bill!
