Nokia 1661 Prepaid Phone, Black (T-Mobile)

Works as a great phone for grounded teenagers. There was an issue with the charger and they quickly sent a new one.

This phone is one of my best phones, from Nokia. I had a phone like this before, it had good volume level, which made me look for another one like it when I needed another cell phone. This purchased phone had a low volume in its hearing, ringing and audio settings. I could barely hear the callers, especially in public places. I think it has something to do with either the phone's battery or a hardware than a software in the phone, relating to these 2 features. But I'm not completely sure as I haven't carried it to a phone place to check it out, partly because I am wondering if what they will charge me to check it out might be more than what I bought the phone for. I will recommend this kind of phone to persons who don't need or want the Internet or Touch Screens that newer phone models are now being made from the phone manufacturing companies. I think it's a good basic phone for calls and receiving text messages, although some people may not have the kind of patience required with the 'texting' feature of this older phone.

It's usually very low in price and very convenient. With the headset that is included I am able to pick up fm radio stations. The headset also allows me to receive telephone calls. It's perfect.

I never was able to get the stupid thing to work, partly because I called in and I live in an area that the unit does not cover. It was certainly inexpensive, but if it doesn't work for you, it is a waste. Just make sure where you live is in their service area.

This phone is cheap but after being without for so long I love it and I don't care to do too much talking (but the sound was clear when I did talk was told I sound close by, I received it a week before it was due, I was able to activate it and get a new phone number, I need to buy more time it only gave me 2hrs. to talk, but I wasn't expecting that much. can't send pictures nor go on the web, but the radio is only fm and you get limited channels (depend on your location) and the ear phone may look cheap but it is very clear when someone calls or you call someone, charger works within an hour it was charged and ready to use. did not have a car charger, but that's fine sure I can get one cheap. As for when someone texts me there is a beep that gets loud. as for ringing one tone. it has a the same tone for text messages and keypad lock.

This phone will make and receive calls but that is really all. The texting keyboard tries to guess what you are typing and is horribly wrong all the time so I completely gave up trying to send 'Hello World' to a friend after 5 minutes of typing. Of course no camera and its an old school cellphone, but I think the price could likely be even lower with the extremely low end tech included. It will get us by and works on T-Mobile with no issues.

Say what you will, I truly Love this little Dumb(?) phone. I am on my 3rd one now, (Other 2 just wore out) using T-Mobile pay as you go plan. No bells or whistles like your smarter phones; but I'm not really tracked(?) either. Plus this simple little phone even has an alarm, that you can use with the phone on or off! I'll continue to use this device, until maybe changing my phone plan in the future!

The cell phone was fine, but how am i supposed to use it without a charger? The description promised a charger, sim card, and headset with it, but there was only the cellphone.
