Summary: BEST FONE EVA!
Review: This was my 1st cell phone i have ever purchased, and i think it's great! It has games, text messaging, ringtones, wallpapers, screen savers, and a bunch more. I like the Virgin Mobile plan, too. You only have to pay $20 every 90 days and thats on $80 a year! If you talk on your phone a lot, this is not the best plan for you. If you do talk a lot, you're better off paying $30 or so a month. But, in my opinion, this phone is excellent and you should definately consider buying it.

Summary: Virgin Mobile Kyocera Slider
Review: Right now, the Slider is the best Virgin Mobile phone on the market. For my birthday, earlier this month, I received the Slider as a replacement of my Audiovox 8500(which i don't recommend). The Slider has so much more than the Audiovox 8500; a color screen, screen savers, wallpapers, games, etc. Some major pluses of the Slider include its small size, an amazing color screen, and easy access to the menu and contacts. There isnt anything really bad about the Slider accept for the fact that the buttons are a tad bit to small but after a while you get used to them. I will definitely be keeping my Slider for a long time because it fits a teenagers needs perfectly.

Summary: Absolutely cool
Review: The slider phone from Kyocra is absolutely cool. The color screen is wonderful, but the phone is so tiny when closed! It's just totally impressive. BTW this is also available for Verizon Wireless, but Verizon's network sucks: it has good coverage nationwide but voice quality stinks. The phone sounds better on Sprint's network, which Virgin Mobile utilizes.

Summary: Not the best
Review: I recently purchased the slider and before I bought it I looked at these reviews. It looked like a good phone, so I bought it. But no one mentioned the internet only gets mtv and vigin extras content. I tried to get on sum sites but there is nothing I can go on. Also it doesnt get IM forwarding(mobile aim). This phone is good if u want to use it 4 calls and text, but it is not 4 u if u want to use it to download games, receive sports scores, news etc... Dont be confused with the verizon wireless slider, because that one gets internet. im not going to waste my time writing the good parts, so read other reviews if u want to know good things. Just remember NO IM FOWARDING OR INTERNET!!!

Summary: Poor service, and support
Review: This phone is horrible. Do not buy this phone. For me it broke in the first two weeks (LCD broke, no physical damage on the outside/outer part of the phone). I went to the place I orginally bought it from (best buy), they said I could NOT take it back due to physical abuse. Again, there were no signs of abuse, of the oudside, so how did it break on the inside?

So, I called virgin mobile, they said just take it back to the store from which we bought it, AND that they would exchange the phone. So we went to a different best buy, but the orginal place the purchase, they said the same.

We told them to call virgin, they did, and said it violated their return policy (which buy the way say returns of 30 days, nothing about crappy products). So the clerk hung up, and said she knew what to do, and for us to go get an exchangement phone.

They she started arguing with the manager, and ended up telling us we could NOT return the phone there. So we called virgin AGAIN.

They said they would check the phone for abuse (which was already comfirmed, but not inflicted my any human cause), then he puts his manager on the phone, tells us that if the store did not return it they wouldn't even check. End of story, don't but this phone. Get a phone with a family plan, this phone costs too much to break so easily. After all this, my phone still calls, but I can no longer check anything that would have come up on the screen. Very disappointing.

Summary: Nice functional phone ... great service from VM
Review: I really like this cell phone and the prepaid service. I have been using it for over 4 months. Like another reviewer said, I too use my home / work phone primarily and this phone incl. service fits nicely in between when you want to be reached or make a call without contract and so on. Plus the free incoming text messaging is a nice touch. The MTV stuff doesn't bother me at all.

The coverage in the metropolitan area of mine (Chicago/Milwaukee) through the frequencies of CDMA 800 / 1900 seems to be no problem at all. I don't chat a lot on the phone and the required $ 20.00 top-ups every 3 months go a long way for me when you consider $ 0.25 per minute for the first 10 minutes every day and $ 0.10 thereafter for any calls on that same day. Hence no call a day = no charge ... unlike contracts.

In addition there are no hidden service fees or any of that. You pay when you use your phone and that is it. The screen, the buttons and the menu might take some time to get used to since it is a tiny phone. I shopped around before I purchased this phone in late November 2003 and this was the best pre-paid phone and service (Virgin Mobile) I could find for my needs.

Summary: Great for teens
Review: I bought my 13 year old son this for Christmas. It is a great looking phone with all the features he wanted without a contract. I bought the phone and he buys his minutes, so he's learning about budgeting and enjoying a cool cell phone at the same time. We get great reception in our area and when traveling on major highways it has been good as well.
