Samsung U340 Cell Phone (Verizon)

I inherited a Blackberry curve from my sisters ex's cousin, I'm with verizon, I couldn't afford that xtra $30 data plan which I only used 75 mb's a month anyway, so I bought this inexpensive, I think it was like $14.95, so I reported my blackberry as lost or stolen, and switched that phone number to this phone, a little advice if you have a data plan smartphone you can no longer afford, cut spending! Switch and go back to the basics, just a plain phone! So if you're in a data plan and don't think you can find a way out do xactly as I did,call your provider, "verizon, sprint, t-mobile" Whatever..... Report the phone with the data plan you can no longer afford "Lost or Stolen" and this is what gets me........ Ya know, I for the life of me can't understand why someone would need or want a 2 inched "HAVE TO HOLD IN THE AIR 2 HOURS IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE OVERPRICED PHONE TO WATCH A DAMN NETFLIX MOVIE" The damn people in the movie are the friggin' size of my finger nail for gosh sakes!!! The technology they have today is xactly what that commercial says "PEOPLE USE "SMARTPHONES" TO DO "DUMB" THINGS". Ridiculous......... As for how the samsung u340 works, absolutely "NO" trouble, no dropped calls.~Stoney420

If you are a frequent 'texter' this phone is NOT for youSometimes the phone has poor reception and sometimes it receives texts on a time delay (I got 40 texts one morning that spanned from 7 previous days of not receiving the texts).The phone has trouble dealing with texts from smart phones - such as group texts or picture textssometimes I had voicemails but no missed callsThis is my american phone since i live elsewhere and its good for the basics, after a while i told me to call instead of texting me and the phone was much happier. Its just an old phone.

The phone is for my mother who is in a nursing home. I was looking for something with large numbers and easy to use. She keeps shutting the sound off (which isn't helpful) because it is on the side right where someone would hold the phone.The charger is such a strange fit, that I even had to take it to the Verizon store to see if I could get a new one and they don't carry that style anymore. He did get it in and adjusted the opening with a nail file to help the fit.Not what I wanted or expected.

Know the phone is not state of the art and thats okay. But received the phone with no instruction book and a used charger (that does work). Not sure about the phone. The keypad seems to be spastic occasionally, but overall; it'll do. Not likely i would get this same phone again, but would still opt for a flip phone. Don't need all the bells and whistles. It's meant to be a phone and used as such.

This was supposed to be an upgrade from my original pre-pay phone (has a camera which I wanted), but it sucks. There are fewer options and the camera takes pics you can't use, because of the low quality. I think Verizon would love to get rid of it's pre-pay program and hence the crappy products and options. They are going to lose me as a customer and many others. If you offer a service, make it quality; otherwise you're just wasting time and frustrating customers. I'll switch brands when I get a new phone. This one is the WORST cell phone I've ever owned unless all you want is calls...and even then, the rates are crazy (all pre-pay services I've found are way high).

There was half an hour or more getting this on my line because wear and tear removed the numbers. The battery wouldn't charge. I FINALLY got it connected with the patience and expertise of the Verizon clerk and I bought a new battery. With the new battery it works better. It would be nice if sellers of older phones would spend the $5 to get a new battery before they sell the old phone. They might even get a few dollars more for the phone if they added "brand new battery" to the ad because we would know we didn't have to buy one.

It took a while of using it for the battery to hold up, but other than that it has been fine. It is the same model as I had before (for about 10 yrs.) so I knew what to expect. I don't need or want anything other than a simple flip phone.

The phone is great but the battery does not hold a charge for very long. I have to charge it up every day now or it gets down to one bar. It was sent very quickly in the mail and no other problems otherwise.
