Summary: Simple. Flexable. COOL!
Review: I have owned this phone for about 4 months. It has proven to be very durable. I have also enjoyed not having to buy minuites so much. There is no roaming charges, unlike most contract and other prepaid phones. This phone is also VERY COOL!Pros:
Small, lightweight, durable. It is a phone you can count on. My parents both have phones, One through Alltel, and one through tracfone. Both like my phone ALOT better. They also use my phone then theirs when we go on trips because mine does not roam unlike BOTH of theres, Yes, my fathers PREPAID phone does roam. Cons:
Sometimes, i wish i could roam, since at times coverage is not avaliable. Although on trips, etc. coverage is always basicly there. Sound Quality is not as good as some phones. I had the Kyocera K7 Rave and i liked it a LOT better. It had better ringtones, sound quality and at times better reception. Coverge is spotty I can get 0-2 bars at my house MAX. But if i get out on the highway i get 5 bars! Full Coverage. Also, when i drop it, (which happens pretty often) it gets scratched a little, so i bought a case. They dont have a case that its usable out of. So i got a drop in case instead. Overall:
I do recomend it. it is cool, neat, and durable. GET IT! (...)

Summary: a perfect starter phone
Review: This phone is a Virgin Mobile pre-pay phone, and I owned it for three months before decided to write this review. How this phone works is simple: you purchase the phone from a store (Amazon, Best Buy, Target, etc) and call Virgin Mobile to activate the phone. Customer Service will take your information and activate the phone in your name and give you a phone number for your new cell phone. You will then have 10 dollars worth of time on your phone. You will want to then purchase a top-up card to put more money on the phone. At least twenty dollars must be topped-up every three months or your number will not be active anymore. Another way to top up is to have your credit card charged instead. One note about this: Virgin Mobile does not accept Discover Card, so if you have Discover, you will have to purchase a top-up card (as I had to). Once you have your phone and it is activated and charged up, it works like any other cell phone. Because this is a pre-pay phone, this phone is likely best suited for those who do not intend on using it very often as well as it being the first phone for a teenager. Virgin Mobile charges twenty five cents a minute for the first ten minutes of use every day and I believe it is ten cents a minute after that. While twenty five cents is a lot per minute, if you are not using the phone very often it can be a good value because there is no monthly fee. The one thing to note about the charges for the phone is that the rate is the first ten minutes you are using the phone every day. This means that if you only use the phone for 4 minute on Monday you are charged twenty five cents a minute, and if you then use the phone for 9 minutes on Tuesday you are still charged twenty five cents for each of those minutes. Obviously there is a greater value the more minutes you use in a day, but if you are going to use the phone that much then you might want to consider a regular cell phone plan. Text messages are ten cents per message you send. Receiving the text messages is free. Overall, this was an excellent phone for my initial needs. I had it for three months and it served me well. It was only inside a building (such as a mall or a department store) that my reception failed. Otherwise I had no problems with the signal within the Twin Cities area. Obviously I cannot speak for other regions of the country. My needs for a cell phone changed and I purchased a different model with an actual service plan rather than a prepay phone, but this was the perfect phone for my first cell phone. It helped me realize what my needs would be and what sort of value I would get out of a particular cell phone.

Summary: Virgin Mobile Audiovox Cell Phone Review
Review: This phone is very good for a child's first cell phone. I shoud know, it is mine. The phone has absolutely all the bells and whistles! The only things it lacks are a color screen, a camera, and games. Ideal because Virgin Mobile is extremely friendly and affordable...a $20/90 day minimum (a pay-per-call plan). Perfect for those who need a few quick calls once in a while...typical of "Mom, I need you to pick me up" or "We're running late at the movies...be there in ten minutes" senarios. Not recommended for people who need the phone daily for long lengths of time.

Summary: Perfect basic occasional use phone
Review: After trying out my daughter's Party Animal phone (which got better reception than my ECall Plus/AT&T network phone), I bought the Audiovox 8500. No signal problems using it in (so far) Los Angeles, Chicago, Baltimore, or Phoenix; on several occasions, even though no signal bars were showing, I still had service. The phone's tiny size is a tremendous advantage. I'm a small woman, and I can comfortably carry it in the pocket of my jeans, or fit it in a small purse with my wallet and Palm Pilot, something I've been unable to do with any other phone. The pay-as-you go aspect is great for someone like me who only uses the phone when away from home or office. This is not a plan for people who use the phone frequently. Downsides: Additional ringtones are pricy, and there are no non-musical rings; I prefer a short "beep" to a 4-second music clip. Though the customer service quality is outstanding, the teeny bopper voice on the Virgin voicemail system is annoying. Virgin might think that middle aged people aren't their target audience, but I've seen quite a number of 8500's in the hands of older folk :-)

Summary: Great for my needs.
Review: Phones are mighty annoying. To me, a phone is to call OUT, not to allow others to disturb me by calling IN. I needed a very small phone to put in my fanny pack when I bike, or my pocket when leave the house via car or on foot, and stay there, switched off, until I need to make an emergency or urgent outgoing call. This phone fill the bill perfectly. I've had it for almost a year, and made only about a dozen calls. Their service covers everywhere I go, and reception is just fine.

Summary: Good Product
Review: This is a very good phone. This phone is great to give to someone for their first cellphone. This phone includes things like Virgin Extras such as Ringtones, *MTV, Daily Doce, Voice Greetings and more. This phone has Voice Mail, a numeric pager, SMS, and tools like a Calculator, a World Clock and a StopWatch. The only thing that I don't like about this phone is that the extra Ringtones cost 2.00 each, which I think is a waste of money. I also don't like the fact that the vibration is kind of weak like another person said in a review. And no, the phone doesn't have games that are free. The other games cost money, the same amount as sending a text message, thats 10 cents. And almost everything extra costs money. This phone isnt a color phone but it does have Backlighting with the colors Green, Yellow, Blue, Deep Green, Purple and White. I do recommend this phone to give to someone as their first phone. This phone is also good for young teens like me. I give this phone 5 stars.

Review: This phone is cheaply made. I have problems with it all the time. The company is even worse, if that is possible. Someone should inform them of the definition of two simple words- CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! This is the company you should give your business and money to if you are 12 years old or under, because if you have any kind of service problems with them they treat you like you are that age. I am throwing this phone out my car window. It services me just as well as two cups with a string...
