 Only good to be used at home and they are STEALING YOUR IDENTITY June 12, 2008
2 out of 12 found this review helpful
The connection is good only at home. 20 miles away from home, you get connection only by LUCK. Do NOT depend on it.
To add airtime from Tracfone is extremely painful:
If add it from their website (most of time it ends up ERROR and ask you to call the service representative), the webpage asks a lot of unnecessary information, then sends hundreds digits you have to key in to your cell phone.
If add it thru calling their service representative, the representative will try to STEAL YOUR IDENTITY by ask you all unrelated information. Besides credit card and your cell phone ID, they ask:
* Name
* Address
* Other cell phone numbers
* Social Security Number!!!!!!!!!!!!!
* Birthday?????????????????
If you refuse to answer the question, they will argue that 'Our System Requires It'. Who cares about their system? I do care about my own IDENTITY SAFETY.
However, if you still want to jump into the trap, there is a way to beat their stealing:
***** Besides credit number and you cell phone ID, give them all FAKE information. ****
I tried the strategy, and it works
 Great Pre-paid Cell Phone May 26, 2008
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I love this Tracfone. I just wanted a phone in case of emergenices, and this fits the bill. I did't need all the frills of the expensive phones (texting, camera, web access) and didn't want to pay over $40 per month for a phone like most people do, so this phone was perfect. I got the double minutes for life card and that is definately worth it. So it only costs 10 cents per minute. I don't have a problem adding time to it, I can buy time over the internet easily. The reception is pretty good, sometimes I get some static, but mostly not. I love the sleek look of this phone - it doesn't look like a "pre-paid" phone. The only thing I wish it had was a display on the outside - you have to open it up to see who's calling. But otherwise, great phone for a great price.

The phone is nice, but the USB data connectivity port is disabled. The double minutes for life is a very nice feature.
 W370 Issues...? April 5, 2008
4 out of 14 found this review helpful
I currently use a V176 cell phone that was "hot" in 2005. And I too had a
lot of "issues" with the "internet" I believe its a marketing issue that
pre-paid cell phone don't truly offer "internet" access but intra-net to
the main site for its ringtones, and services. That's the "nutshell" from
pre-paid, and contract agreement. You get what you pay for!
Sadly, most of the phones don't have much "room" on pre-paid unless you
are a professional hacker who can "upgrade" the phone's memory to handle
the internet. I wouldn't want internet anyway, I'd rather download the
ringtone I want to my pc, and use a mini-usb / usb connector adaptor to
"load" to the phone direct with the right software. I'd get with some
corporate executives or technical engineers to send me a CD or a web
link to download the phone connection software so I can connect my pc
to my phone, download the ringtone I want, and load it to the phone
directly. If I can't do that, then better get enough lawyers who are
versed in cell phone laws to convince otherwise. If you happen to know
of the Motorola Technical Engineers or Upper Crust management to make
this happen, let all of us "peons" know! :) It would be great if the
Motorola Corporation would get out of the clouds and be able to fix any
issues that need fixing. :)
I'd buy this phone from NET-10 simply because of the flexibility of
the network, and being pre-paid you get what you pay for. Much like a
Motel-6 commercial.. Clean, comfortable room, leaves the light on for
you, and basic cable package. Get what you pay for. If you want frills
and thrills, then go to Holiday Inn, or Ramada, or Best Western. :)
At any rate, if I wanted internet service, I'd make sure the phone
can handle today's webpages. I'd suggest to the marketing reps for any
cell phone company. Don't promise what you won't deliver. Don't say one
thing, and not provide reasonable service or guarantee.
Great Reception- Some features crippled though :( March 24, 2008

First of all, I bought my w370 at Wal-Mart because it included Double minutes for life for just 49.99. It's a great value for a prepaid phone, it like getting the phone for free.
Speaker phone is good (my primary reason for upgrading from v170)
Here are some of my disappointments with the phone.
1. USB port has been crippled by Tracfone, can be used for charging only, with special driver (not included).
2. You can only use the web browser on Tracfones web site, forget about downloading ring tones etc. from any other website.
3. Distinctive ring feature seems to revert back to default ring at some point, even when you have it set in phone book profile, seems like more of a software bug than anything.(Edit: I was able to get the distinctive ring working by removing and reinstalling the battery after all of the ring tones were assigned, I haven't had a problem since)
I have been able to email background pictures to the phone and use them successfully, but I haven't been able to successfully use any .wav sounds as ring tones as of yet.
Overall the phone looks good and is a great value for the money, especially if you don't mind disabled features
