| msTwilson's Full Review: Samsung SCH 3500 CDMA / AMPS Cellular Phone |
I first went into the store to purchase a pager for those little emergencies that often arise. I ended up with this phone and a pager.
I was happy that I did. Although this phone set me back 149.00 I was lucky that I went in when I did. I got $100.00 rebate.And only paid $49.00 for the phone itself. ( although I did add a few things for the phone like a leather case). which is extra
I love the fact the main feature which is voice recognition dialing. The only downside to this is that it only works for the person who programmed it.
I love the look of the phone. I bought a leather case for it as well which will save on the dings and dangs of everyday use especially when my 2 year old daughter drops it once in a while. (like it's her phone)
I love the fact that my grandma can email me on it when I am not home and she knows it.
I went with the lowest paid minutes plan there was at that time which was $29.99 for 500 minutes, which in turn breaks down to 250 daytime (7am-7pm) minutes and 250 weekend and evening minutes.And no extra charge for long distance calls.I no longer have long distance on my regular phone.
I had my phone a month and still have around 300 minutes I didn't even use yet I have 2 days to use them up,, no rollover minutes here ( that sucks).
I like that different phone rings you can choose from. The type of ring each call gets like with caller ID or without can each have a separate ring so you can tell my the ring whether or not to bother picking the phone up.For me if you don't display your number I won't answer.
I like the other feature that enables you to choose whether or not a password has to be used to actually use the phone. So say if I am with my little sister who is 12 and LOVES to talk on the phone, I can turn on the security feature which there would have to be a password entered before she could use it,,,I LOVE THAT!!
I have never had any problems with the phone as far as clarity and sound. And I travel alot on the road and the phone is Dual band ( analog and digital) which is great. Most places I do travel with, my OLD Ameritech Mobile phone would not have worked, this one works anywhere.(With the exception of hospitals) It don't work in them because with most hospitals you are not allowed.
Its so easy to program. The phone sells itself.The fact that you can store up 99 numbers on this model is great (not that I know that many people. But if you are a business person with a lot of contacts and need that many this is a great feature.
Also what I thought was nice was that you can record a memo on the phone, so you can replay it back.
There also is a greeting that you can enter to have the certain greeting for you everytime you use the phone. I recently bought my husband this same phone I got me and put the greeting to tell Him that I love him, he liked that. :)
All and all a great phone, great idea, great service from Sprint as always I wouldn't expect any less from such an outstanding company or product like Samsung!!
