Motorola C139 - User Reviews

  • It's a cute bar phone.

  • My very first phone overall. It was silver and I got it from tracfone......and guess what? I still have it and it still works. There is no service though and it has about 13 mins left but I keep it for sentimental value.

  • No, you can't run android or android games on this phone. There will never be a firmware upgrade either.

  • Can i play Real Racing 3 and GTA San Andreas on it?

  • i have android 4.4 working on this phone it took me a year but i have ported it

  • I want software update for that phone.

  • never hangs and lots of juice in the battery. best phone for voice chats.

  • I have had this phone for five years now. Let me tell you,its very durable but man i hate it! Texting takes for ever in less you use predictive text. This isnt the phone i usually use. Its more of a back up phone. I keep it charged and in my purse at all times in case my phone dies when im in a risky situation. I text constantly and this phone is terrible for texting. I started off having this phone as my first,then after awhile i went to a different phone. It got wet and broke so i had to put my sim card back into this phone. Then i got a new one (blackjack II) and then it broke. hahahaha. Once agian im stuck with this phone! I've been using it for three months now. Its durable,the battery life is good. But its so hard to text and the phone call quality isnt good. It freezes sometimes but i guess its good for people who dont text! Full keyboards are more my thing. :)

  • this phone is rubbish man

  • I have had a c139 go phone for four years and It serves us well I bought an emergency self charging radio/light/cell phone charger. It has a USB port for charging the phone. Where can I find a cord with a USB connection on one end and the plug for my phone on the other? I contacted your company by phone but I speak only english so I do not believe I was able to convey my needs. HELP! 812-401-7673

  • Hey people, I have had this phone for 4 years. It has dropped more than 5 times and now I need to change it. I was thinking of going with a Sony Ericsson W902 or W960 anyone can help? By the way I disagree with people who posted up that this Motorola C139 phone is hard to navigate with. I know it outside out.Pleas email me at [email protected]

  • antena

  • I pretty certain that is for an external antenna, if perhaps, you're in your car & have one available.

  • We have acquired the phone with no instructions on how to use this. Found in my fathers house when he passed away can any one help please

  • On the backside of this phone there is a whitish structure just by the side of M logo.what is that.

  • wee.. i simply love this unit.. hehehe..

  • tahnx

  • was given this phone as a replacement phone by my dad. I put in my sim card but dont know how to access the sim card info. For ex. my address book. Please someone help. Thanks

  • this info is wrong, i used this web address to help with translation. and used the c139 manual at this address instructions to change language on page 46 and on page 5 and 6 is where everything is in menu and submenu. use translation to find russian for 'language' and 'english'

  • Most of the prople want to know the language setting of this phone and it is very difficult when it turn into chinese .. follow these simple rules Go to Setting (which is 9th menu) then got to 5th option then got to 2nd Option then got to 7th option (language) then select 2nd option English i think u will find this helpful...

  • I have 2 similar phones. Are great. Basic phones but I have for 1 year maybe 2 and are working fine !!

  • have tracfone dropped a few times audio Quality bad suggest ?

  • hey...well i've had this phone for quite some time now abt 3 years. honestly it doesnt have all the features of an expensive phone but it has every basic thing. I've never had a problem with it and the sound quality of calls are superb! This phone has fallen down approximately 30 times with me and still works! Its a simple phone for the humble people.

  • how are you supposed to download your ringtones?

  • I'm glad to see that I am not the only one that can't stand this phone. I wanted a basic, no frills phone. This one is difficult to navigate and for the life of me, today I cannot find my address book. Also, in trying to delete numbers I no longer need, it just won't do it. I am going to get a now phone and the 65 minutes I have will be lost. Cute, yes, good battery, logical? NO

  • i think this phone is quite good although it hasn't got all the other features. iv had it for 4 years without any problems....

  • press the menu button and then stsr button

  • hi guys, would anyone know how to lock the keypad on this phone? thanks..

  • I have a Motorola - c139 which my kid played with it and subsidy password comes up but can't open the cell to original display.

  • I also had same problem but somehow I found it while playing with it. anyways step by step guide for anyone else who ends up with an unknown menu language is SETTINGS (Icon is Paner Signs, 7th in main menu) > OTHER SETTINGS (5th in the list) > INITIAL SETUP (2nd in the list) > LANGUAGE (7th in the list)

  • HEy Arun, did u get to know how to change its menu language. Pls help me I am also stucked in same issue:(

  • Dude, did u get to know how to change language back to english from chinese. I am trapped in same issue, pls help.

  • I'm buying this phone next year so I can use it on my trip to Orlando. It's on Oxygen Wireless/O2 Wireless, and considering I'm going for 3 weeks it's a little trooper for $39.99 (That's just �20 where I live!) My current provider T-Mobile charges 40 pence to send a text in the USA (That's a whopping 80 cents in the US!) and I don't think I could stick the overwhelming charges! So yeah, for that price, it's ideal for yearly 2-3 week trips to America.

  • cmon we need more opinions here i need the entertainment.

  • i used this hp only for 2 months b4 trading it in for nokia.main reason:- 1.hard uncomfortable keypad 2.too many steps involves just to sms 3.display too small 4.too few sms can be stored battery lifes is ok but not much else..

  • i agree dont get this phone no matter how LESS it costs because i have had some bad experiences with it as you all may have today. it turns itself on everyday "magically". MINE is not DEFECTIVE either it is just bad and im not saying that because it has hardly any features in which i dont need a phone with all that mess thrown on it anyway. SERIOUSLY even a simple phone like this doesnt even work as well as you may think!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This phone sucks. I bought one from my local rite aid, and i wouldn't hold a charge. Tracfone sent me a replacement phone, but this one needs to be plugged in and out to get it to charge properly. Now 2 years later, I purchased another one, thinking I had a lemon, but the same thing. It won't allow itself to be charged. DON'T BUY THIS PHONE.

  • it's a good little phone, definantly not fit for today's stuff as in memory and capabilities, i'm still trying to find a cord for this into the computer

  • please can someone post their OPINIONS i look onto this site ALL the time looking for a new opinion.

  • This fone has so many bugs (like all Motorola) that using a Nokia 5110 is better. And this for a basic fone is a major NO, NO. It can only hold less than 20 messages even less if you have in your outbox and navigation is not user friendly.

  • i prefer flip phones$$$

  • no i like this cellphone but i also like phones with a few more features. this is a good cellphone though okay!

  • everything you said, whatever. c139 is the best phone on the world!!!

  • the keypad is kinda hard. it hurts my fingers just to go threw the menu and that happens within 2 minutes. so it takes me a while to go threw my phone also there is not much personalization with this phone either.

  • IT SUCKS GRASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DONT GET THIS PEECE OF CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just cuz you iz broke you aint gotta stoop this low!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!@@@@@@@@@@@@@zzz

  • for this being a cheap phone it can also become very stressful to use. it may not be as reliable as many of you may think it is and these places that sell it are cheating you all out of your money.

  • dont get this phone because it is a ghost phone. it turns itself on and off by itself and that is nutty so if i were you i would sell it for a different , also cheap but better than this horrible phone. and please take this into consideration. thankyou.

  • moon! moon! moon! dont buy this terrible phone. i dont know why you think it is a good phone but anyway it has pong, maze, and football which these games arent very entertaining either.

  • that is so wierd cuz the same thing happened with my phone some of the items in the menu just DISAPPEARED and that is strange but this phone does have an ALARM clock

  • im not to sure about the ringtones but you can not get picture messages because there is no CAMERA on it.

  • to capitolize the letters when texting you put the letter you want then push the up arrow key. very EASY.

  • i like this cellphone because it does what it needs to do but it is not for me because i like having all the extra stuff that comes in a cellphone. my friend has one and i do to but only for emergency use and now i have 2 cellphones and i love them!

  • How to change my mobile china language into english plz any buddy send me thru step by step button method

  • Can someone please help? I lost my phone whilst travelling so bought a C139 in Bangkok. Unfortunately, it reverts to Thai language every time I change the sim card. I think I tried to change the language and ended up with one that is totally unrecognisable to me... Can someone please help by guiding me into the Settings section by telling me how to go into the language section and changing to English. I think the best way would be to count the steps, eg. I know the the Settings for starters because of the icon.. but from then on it is basically 'Warp lingo' as far as I am concerned. Counting steps would be helpful I think, eg. Settings, count two down, press selection which will be 'other settings' and then count three down.. etc etc.. Anyone's help will be hugely appreciated. Many many thanks and look forward to a way out and back to using the phone like it should be used :-), cheers M.

  • BEST PREPAID PHONE EVER!!! Battery life is amazing, I charge mine every 12 days while my wife charges her razr every 2 days lol!

  • this is the best prepaid phone ever had i have had 4 different phone this one picks up the best

  • Got one of these for in-laws' emergency phone, but I'd hate for them to face an actual emergency -- only about 1/3 of conversation is audible, even with 3 or more bars of signal. Granted, it has big visible numbers onscreen when dialing, but other than that, only useful for talking to telemarketers -- "I'd...if...try...can't...house...gerbils."

  • THE battery life is very goooood the voice reciver is very clear I THINK MOTOLORA IS THE BEST

  • since ipurchase this type,i've 3 times change the battery.What going on with the recharging system? I owning this pruduct at begining of last january this year....

  • This is a great phone. My co-worker thought it was neat that I can program in whatever ringtone I like. In fact, he plans on replacing his more expensive phone with a C139 and having me do some programming for him. The monophonic tone could be better but it's the only phone I know of with a feature for playing a ringtone you created yourself.

  • Actually i love this fone. i have 2, blue & silver. but the blue one has a little problem. when some1 call, it doesnt ring and the screen doesnt show an incoming call. but when i check the call log, it show a missed call. i have to restart it to make the ring work again. after a few days i get the same problem again. any1 have the same problem?

  • i recomend that's its a good phone for beginners but then its starts to get boring because i got this phone on 2006 now its 2008 and between those years i've been trying to get new latest ringtones. i still have'nt figuired it out yet. plus it does'nt have camera in it. the company i have is tuyo mobile DO NOT GET IT. TRUST ME!!!!

  • it took less than a week to get the new phone and they send you a prepaid envelope inside with your new phone to return the phone your having problems with. any otehr company would make you buy another phone and buy another plan. they exchange it for free and for spending 12 bucks on a phone thats a really good deal. i've seen this alot, people spending hundred of dollars on phones with a camera and plans to not to be able to afford to send pictures when we spen 12 for the phone, get double the minutes spend what 20 bucks on a 60 min card that gives you 120. who cares about ring tones. i personally dont like it when im somewhere and i hear bubba sparx or beyonce yelling from someones pocket in public. it really makes you look cheesy. ev1 now days has a cell phone and if this 12 dollar phone has the vibrate function im sure your 200 dollar camera one does to.

  • to the person that bought the phone in foreign country. i would call the 800# 1-800-867-7183 I had one not even 2 weeks and the screen went out on me. they sent me a new phone in the mail and i told them the minutes i had remaining. they reissued me my minutes and even on the new phone game me the previous # to the old phone. i would try getting them to tell you over the phone step by step how to do it and if not purchase enough is proof to get a new phone if your not happy with it they should issue you a new one for free. although im not a motorolla dealer or anything but you think they would if you bought it and your not happy with it. as long as you got the existing phones serial # and sim # i would not think there would be a problem.

  • This fone keeps on resetting itself for no reason at all. How do I stop it from resetting, please help me...

  • Can someone please help? I lost my phone whilst travelling so bought a C139 in Bangkok. Unfortunately, it reverts to Thai language every time I change the sim card.

  • i bought the c139 for a very low price with the double minute feature which is a really great deal. if you have to patience to read the instructions youd be amazed at how you can set the alarm and turn the volume up when in a call. this si a very good phone. i a agree cameras should be used for taking pictures and phones for taking and making calls. good job motorola for keeping it affordable and simple. stop being lazy and read the manual...

  • i have a question for people who have had a phone like this for a while??? Can you get ringtones on it and can people send u pictures on it???

  • I got this phone for my son and he wanted since he was 12 so on 13th bday I got him this phone he said he would work hard to pay for it and he has any mother who doesn't want a child on theyre plan to take up all the mins get this phone! GREAT FOR TEENs and young adults.

  • I got this phone on Christmas in 2006. I don't really like it all that much, because there is no camera, no way to download new ringtones, it's not a flip phone, and it's way too small. Plus, the battery life was never up to par with what Motorola said it was. It lasts maybe 6 or 7 days instead of the said 18. But yeah, if you like it, go for it.

  • Redial, dialing received calls and previously placed calls require too many steps. I had a Nokia that made this simple. I find myself pressing buttons all over the phone. The screen is too dark to read with out the back light. The volume during a call is too low.

  • best simplest phone ever! Battery life is excellent, plus the games on it (football, pong, and maze) are actually very entertaining. GET THIS PHONE!!!

  • im just gonna say this flat out...buy this phone

  • The motorola c139 was the first phone i ever had. i like it because its not one of those phones that have so much stuff in them, but then u cant find the clock. it has just enough accessories on it. A great first time phone for anybody..

  • it,s a very ecellent cell phone

  • Battery life is excellent, Well done motorala. Nokia one step behind?

  • it's cool phone for ever, battery life amazing i love it. thanking you moto...

  • o my gooodness! this pkone rox i got it 4 10 bucks at family dollar and its worth way more than that! this christmas im gettin my friend it for her first phone! bt the way u r supposed to press up for upper case(at least thats what i do). lov it!

  • Can anyone tell me how to stop this phone from returning to factory default... I really hate to setup my settings 2-3 times a month!!! Thank you.

  • mine doesnt vibrate when it is suppose to and i cant get the auto answer to work.

  • Very good phone =) Previous poster doesn't know what he's talking about. Good phone, does what is wanted. Has an alarm clock !! I use it every day =) PS: [to Duval] press the "up" arrow to capitalize current letter PPS: I used to have a Motorola v330, and this phone is much better: 1. the price coparison ! it's a PHONE for a price of a MEAL !! no other phone beats that. 2. has only the features that a phone needs and that a phone of this size CAN do. Believe me, unless you are getting an iPhone, you won't be able to browse the web or check email comfortably on your phone (320x240, which most phones offer, isn't enough) (Yes, I used T-Mobile Web on v330 and I tried iPhone... in case of non-iPhone phones, you get less than what you pay for.. not to say that I'll EVER buy an iPhone or that I like Apple =) As for the camera - the thought of using the camera in the phones for taking pictures is horrifying, especially in the phones in sub-$100 range. It's fun to take a shot and send it in an SMS... for the first time you try it, most people won't ever use it (not even need it). Cameras are for taking pictures, and good quality/zoom often means bigger lens, which cell phones cannot offer. Think of that. PPPS: read "Smarter than the res"' comment... it's true =)

  • Bad phone. ugly and boring user interface. doesn't have an alarm.

  • I think the phone is awesome because it just does what I need it to do.

  • Just one question: how do you CAPITALIZE the letters like when entering a text message or entering a contact in the phone book?

  • nice phone with all the basic stuff you need.I payed 30� and is defenetly worth it! Long battery time and nice talk quality. Motorola has done a good job!Bravo

  • great phone, the best battery life i've ever seen of any phone. If your the kind of person that wants a high tech phone with a camera mp3 player ect this is not for you. But if you just need well a phone, then the motorola c139 is for you, plus it only costs $15 at walmart!

  • This phone is REALLY good for the price I paid!!! PROS: Excellent sound quality, price, lantern, color (mine is pink), durable, rubber sides, fun games, its a MOTOROLA, the compliments CONS: Charging time takes a while, hard left and right soft keys, blacklight I have had my Motorola c139 for two days now and I must say it is WONDERFUL! This phone is the BEST phone I have ever had! (I've had the Pantech PN-215, Motorola 120, LG 3280, and a Nokia) No phone can stand up to this phone in my opinion! I loved the price as well. ($14.99 @ Walmart.com) But I must say that the charging takes a while and the left and right soft keys make my thumbs sore after a while, but hey I'll get used to it. Anyways, I have tracfone and the service is great. The only other thing I do not like is the blacklight, but oh well. :) THANK YOU MOTOROLA! Brilliance!

  • I am getting this phone soon, and I think its cute. All I want in a phone is to call and text. I will write again after I get it. :) That was me! Still haaven't got the phone, walmart.com is slow at shipping. By the way, phones are not miracle workers.

  • Yes, I can see that having a more interesting GAME on your $10 phone would be more important than having a LANTERN in the event of an EMERGENCY. Good battery life, good sound, easy to hold, works great for us. Too bad it doesn't have a web browser...geez. What do you want for $20 or so? THIS IS A PHONE, PEOPLE!

  • I like that..."RUN AWAY THIS PHONE"...what does THAT mean? Mine always stays right where I put it, has never run away on ME. I like this phone, but it's not an iphone, folks. It's small, so the keys are small...but it sounds good and has always worked when I needed it. A good buy.

  • The PHONE is "retarted"? What is that? Do you mean "retarded"? And WHY did you BUY this phone, and then complain that it has no CAMERA???? You couldn't SEE that? This is a CHEAP PHONE, people....NO FRILLS, that's why it's only $10 or so! What do you EXPECT?!? This phone works GREAT for ME, and when I want to take a picture, I get out my CAMERA PHONE, or, dare I say, a CAMERA! A SOLID PHONE that WORKS and DOES WHAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO DO!

  • Oh, my! Because you forgot to refill your minutes the PHONE is worthless?! If you can't refill your phone or pay your bill, perhaps you should still be pulling the old Fisher-Price along the floor! Don't blame the PHONE if YOU can't keep track of your minutes! The phone does what it's supposed to do, it's cheap, it works, but it won't automatically refill itself! DUH!

  • I love my phone. I have it through tracfone. The only problem that i had was that my sim card got fried after on three days of having it. otherwise this phone rocks. if anybody has any questions or comments about it you can e-mail me at [email protected]

  • this phone is soooo NOT worth buying! if you don't refil the minutes int time YOU HAVE TO BUY A WHOLE NEW GO PHONE!!! It's retarted! BOOO All GO PHONES!!!

  • I am getting this phone soon, and I think its cute. All I want in a phone is to call and text. I will write again after I get it. :)

  • this is damm damm bad phone. Never never never buy it.sound bad...infact it has NO FEATURES........

  • Run away this phone..........

  • This is really a good phone. Battery time is good.

  • Its message memory is too limited battery is excellent we can even thro this phone from any height its that much strong

  • Does this phone have poly ringtones?

  • I bougth one for my girl and me, and it really works very good, if you only need to make a call and send messanges It�s ok and enought. best regards

  • I love this phone. Its perfect if you just want to talk and you don't need extra features. If you want custom ring tones, games, etc. then don't bother with this phone. This is just a simple, reliable phone that works. You can buy it for under $30 in most places which is a great deal for the quality

  • I love this phone! It's small and simple. Im going to get a colored faceplate though, because I don't like the plain color of the phone.

  • i bought this today.becuz of these thingsBattery Standard battery, Li-Ion 920 mAh Stand-by: Up to 450 h Talk time: Up to 11 h 40 min................ this is a lovely mobile i ever see.me want only talk nothing else.so its good for long talk........................... Dimensions 100.6 x 45.6 x 21.8 mm, 77 cc Weight 85 g Display TFT, 65K colors 96 x 64 pixels Ringtones Monophonic Messaging SMS Camera No Features - iTap - Calendar - Currency converter - Calculator - Stopwatch

  • I had this phone but it broke. um very basic phone, no features, it just gets the job done and thats it. Tracfone is a good service though, but i am currently rollin with sprint.

  • ALARM CLOCK??!!! can anybody tell me where has the alarm clock of my c139 disappeared? It has been a week ago that i bought it, and i dont remember setting alarms because i was having vacations. but now the college has started and when i looked for the alarm clock i cannot find it... Pls help somebody. (reply me on my email...thanks)

  • I have this phone from Tracfone, and I dont really like it all that much the buttons are very small, which i dont like the games are boring, you have a Breakout Game, a Football type game and a maze game. the phone is filled with useless features like the Lantern. Which only holds a white screen for as long as you let it. it also has an exchange rate calculator, which is very hard to understand there are only 2 or 3 backgrounds to choose from and there are only mono ringtones that can be very annoying and sharp to the ear i have good service withit, though. the battery life isnt as good as I think it should be, mine only stays charged for about 3 days without use, and maybe 2 days with use.

  • I had Brought a motorola c139 and It suck becuase can't download ringtones. I am going Virgin Mobile if i can't downlod my owen Ringtones.

  • I think it's a great phone for basic needs, but mine has been resetting itself recently: first two times in the rain (it didn't get wet, but exposed to quite high humidity, yes) but recently just under normal conditions. Has anyone experienced this? Any way to fix this, or should I just buy anohter one (seeing as how it was so cheap)?

  • john pls tell me how many games in c139 and which type of games?

  • I bought the phone 10 months ago because it was cheap. Aside from being small enough to fit on a key ring, the phone get used/abused daily without any problems. I did buy a case (not a pouch) to give it some size. Overall, I give the phone thumbs up.

  • I was checking out this phone today, needed as my 2nd phone, a spare for my K800i. It looks okay, but very small screen and the keys are too small for my relatively larger fingers. It also doesnt have polyphonic which does sound aukward indeed. Instead i bough a Sagem My210x, it has similar features, but bigger and comfortable keypads, larger screen and polyphonic. And it costs lower than this!! EUR 15 with vodafone call-ya! C139 is EUR 17 with Vodafone Call-ya..

  • long talk time. very inexpensive.very good for the elderly, like me. i hope to own mine for many years. Have a good one. robert

  • im getting this phone soon and i no how to download ringtones, wallpapers and games! if u want to no please e-mail me at barbieprincess_123@yahoo

  • this phone help me to experience something for d first time it was good,it worked good 3 cheers for d m v139

  • useless phone do not even as a camera.

  • To MFH: Isn�t true, the c139 doesn�t restart itself its factory settings every month, I use one in my job and never had that problem. And about the monophonic tones it�s true, not polyphonics. very basic phone

  • ************************************** I want to know whether its true that it does reset itself to factory settings every month automatically?? and Is it true it only has MONOPHONIC ringtones? or issit a lousy 4 polyphony Polyphonic Ringtone?

  • All I wanted was a basic phone with VERY GOOD battery life - Nokias just couldn't cut it. I bought the C139 after much googling and am very happy. There was a learning curve with the keypad menus etc after so many years with Nokia but it eventually became 2nd nature. Excellent no frills phone with good reception & sound quality and AWESOME battery life.

  • I can't hear my ringtones on my phone! are there none downloaded when you first get it?

  • This is the most ridiculous phone i've ever seen. I hardly receive calls or send messages by it. still it gets dead every month and has got to be replaced from the manufacturer time and again. Disastrous and Sick Phone.It should be thrown to HELL. It has no place on this earth. Cheap Motorola People.... Manufacturing So Cheap Phones like this!

  • Im in search of a cheap phone, i dont care about screen, camera nor games but i really do care about SMS, Phonebook capacity, Battery life and voice clarity. I am going off on a eurotrip and i dont want to feel guilty if i lose a phone coz ive lost 2 phones before, well 1 lost and other stolen. So i want to know if it has the features i want, well does it?? -easy fast SMS, no lagging -Clear voice over calls -Decent (atleast 100) memory for Phonebook -Long Battery Life/Talk time. thankyou

  • I Don't have this phone yet, but I'm Getting it. And by the way, What's a sim card

  • ha ha. post below made me laugh. as this phone is nice it is no comparison to iphone or N95. )))

  • this is the best phone!! better than apple iphone or nokia N95!! plus its small and cute..lol

  • I just bought a motorola c139 and I think it's realy cute and practical it has the main tools we need every day. I was surprised with the cost because it really isn't much, the only thing I don't like is that it does not have a variaty of cool ringtones and you can't download things, but I think is a good choise. -pliz if you know something about the nokia smart messages can you write. thanks

  • How to change my mobile china language into english plz any buddy send me thru step by step button method

  • would u recomind the motorola c139 over the nokia 1600

  • Incredibly durable phone. I've dropped it two stories onto concrete, into water, you name it, this phone has been through it all and it still works. A lot of my friends are on their 2nd and 3rd razor phones. Yes, razors are cool looking with lots of nice features, but I'm not going to shell out $200 every time it breaks to buy a new one. Even if mine ever breaks I'll just go to Walmart and pay the $18.88 for a new one and put my SIM card in it.

  • I have the motorola c139 as a back up and it proves to be an excellent phone. It's inexpensive and sounds very clear. I would definately recommend this phone...

  • I also have this phone as a back-up. A real little gem. Strong, sturdy and well put together with very good battery life. No creaking after numerous drops. I like it even more coz it's motorola. They remain the undisputed kings of low-cost handsets.

  • Got this as a temporary broken phone replacement for 20 dollars. I put in my Cingular SIM from the old phone and it works perfectly. Calls are clear and the battery life is excellent. No fancy ring tones or features to be found here but this phone is a great basic performer.

  • I like my Motorola C139. Simple, small, inexpensive (IOW Cheap)... My biggest problem with it is that every month it resets itself to the factory settings. The worst thing is that everytime it resets itself I loose all the newly inputed contacts and their numbers and info. My alarm sets gone. My tone sets gone. I know I'm not the only one with this problem. Can somebody help me Please!! Thanx.

  • I'm a big fan of high-end phones...the last phone I had was Sony Ericsson p990 and I lost it. Disappointed I went out in desprate need of a phone and bought this little sucker. 20 dollars well spent...awsome little thig takes beaten. I'd recommend this Phone to Anyone.

  • This phone alright. It's color screen is cool.

  • Well, this phone is alright. Coming from me, a 15 yr. old, its okay but no ringtones or wallpapers suck big ... lol.

  • I have a C139 that is the locked version, even so I find that the phone is absolutely outsanding, it is simple to operate and th battery life in the specifications is 100% correct. I highly recommend this phone to anyone interested in this model.

  • This phone is highly recommendable because of its phenomenal battery-life, size, and ease of use. It works like a charm with whichever carrier you pop a SIM card in from.

  • It's also $30-35 so what do you expect. If you want ringtones buy a better phone. You get what you pay for in life.. As long as it rings and sounds fine that is OK (For the Price) It's a basic phone.

  • This phone totally sucks..It would not suck if it could have ringtones...But you can only have the ringtones on there.I spent about 10 dollars on trying to download ringtones and it does not work...YOU CAN NOT DOWNLOAD RINGTONES ON THIS PHONE!!! IF YOU ARE SMART DONT GET THIS PHONE...

  • I've been using C139 for nearly a year now & it's great.It's lightweight,cute and durable.My C139 fell on many occasion I haven't had any problems with it as yet.

  • Does this phone have speakerphone? I've looked on every site almost and it doesn't say anything about it. THanks!

  • this phone is really cute. i've been enjoying the long talk time but recently having problems dialling out. can't reach out to my friends right this moment and it isn't a network problem.

  • Este dia compre este telefono a solo $29.38 en digicel de El Salvador y hasta me regalaron una mochila, ya lo travesie y me parecio un telefono bastante BASICO que a fin de cuentas solo lo necesito para hablar y no para apantallar, aunque el dise�o del telefono es bastante coqueto. En nuestro pais con semejante delicuencia que hay es mejor llevar un telefono como este porque si te lo roban no te doler� mucho y facilmente compras otro modelo con las mismas prestaciones sin afectar de forma critica tu presupuesto. Saludos.

  • This is good basic phone. I'm using c139 for six months. 1. Good color TFT display. 2. Good design. 3. Good battery life. cons: 1. Limited SMS storgage capacity Inbox 20, Outbox 10 to 15 messages. 2. Battery charging takes 2 to 2.5 hours. What is the memory of this phone? How can I edit the sms in outbox or transfer it to Inbox. How can I delete game and download new once. thankyou.

  • I bought my Moto C139 today and hey guys, this phone is cute.I mean for anyone concerned about buying a phone which does what its meant for-ie making and receiving calls + texting of cause. Good attributes to this phone as of my three hours with it are : -clear sound on the receiver, -sexy design, -very-very comfortable key pad, -Oooh! that it as of now I will bring more as I continue exploring this lovely phone.

  • the 11 hours and 40 min talking time is true or it is only droped there for no reason ?

  • A phone should be---- JUST THAT: a phone. If I want to download, I use a computer. Send or receive TEXT meassages, an email program or IM--- again, on a computer. Take pictures: a digital camera. No wonder so many are having accidents (some fatal) while operating a motor vehicle. The Motorola C139 IS an excellent value--- if you comprehend the definition of 'phone'.

  • No chance for getting anything on this lil phone

  • I know for a fact with all the sience of natural human strenth in my brain that there is a way to upgrade this phones ("APPLICATIONS") We need someone with electronic technologically advanced system intelligence. To find a way that people can modify the C139 Cingular Wireless Motarola cell phones. I want to find out how it was programmed and how I can edit the information to add more funtions. There must be a way to add more ringtones and the only real way to find this out is finding out each and every electronic microchip to modify. Changing the chips or additions for the chips if need be. There should be updates by motarola or cingular and it should install faster easyer system data for there customers who need customization. There are many laws and regulations about music copywrite details but most inportantly the money that it would cost to design a product such as a ("Universal Cell Phone Customizer") With an invention like this I think there would be a lot of happy customers for years to come. Having the power to have your own cell phone company in your own cell phone. Free by the power of your intelegence you would be smart enough to edit your cell phone in your own personal prefrence with out buying minutes cause you wont need to pay your self. The real issue of this matter must be because this phone is a cheap phone and it's used for fast easy straight to the point communication. Don't Mind Me I Come Off Like A Nerd But I'm Really Trying To Evolutionize The World One Step At A Time!

  • i have had this fone 4 about a year and 3 months and i get so sick of it. All my mates have cool flip, camera phones and i'm stuck with this, it doesn't even have a voice recorder. I really need a new one because all the keys are starting to break but my parents think its still fine, huh! Think again.

  • i like this little phone..mine holds a charge for 6 days..and its more or less an emergency cell phone..takes a couple hours to charge..but.i NEED more ring tones..i can input 3 of my own..any one know where to find some?

  • mine didn't even come with the lousy cheap ringtones they come with, not ONE! my mom got the same phone a few months ago, hers had the usual stupid ringtones they usually come with, mine did not. and i don't know how to compose music on this stupid thing. i've had it one day and it sucks.

  • i have had this phone for 5 months now and i thnk its a good phone for people that are technology challenged, but if you want a sufisticated phone this is not the one, i hate it. it holds no battery, money goes out guickly, and its hard to see the screen(its dark. The ringtones stink, and it doesnt hold alot of information.

  • The phone is easy to use and lightweight, but i cant find any ringtones or wallpapers! If anyone knows anything on how to get wallpapers or ringtones for the Motorola c139, please tell me!!!!!!

  • how can I set the time on my phone !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I have the C139 and i think it is the worse phone I have ever had. Found my money goes fast and I use it only 3-4 times a week spent 100 bux the first month and only used roughly 12 times and the longest call was only 5 minutes

  • Why doesn't my phone get ringtones?

  • Very cheap phone, call quality is decent, rubbish wallpapers and ringtones but hey, I got it for 10 quid so no complaints :) Only thing is (and does anyone else find this?) whenever I switch it on I seem to get a slight headache(?!?!?!?) and this never happened with any of my other phones (K500 and 6630). Maybe I'm imagining things...

  • I take it free .. this phone is .... ya u know the word ;)

  • Nice phone, perfect for my Husband who needed it for wrok related reasons. He knows how to dial and that all he needs it for.

  • This phone is nice. i got it for 10$ palasades mall in radio shack

  • I bought this phone for my 8 year old son for Christmas. This is a low cost phone and you should not expect much as far as features. I got it for $39, no contract.

  • well I'll going to be getting this phone soon hope it works well :)

  • I am only borrowing this phoen as my sony ericson K750i in in repairs the phone looks quite nice but it has a tiny screen no features and the colour isnt that good i carnt wait 2 get my k750i back because it is a great phone!!!

  • GREAT MOBILE! Serves me well, easy to use features and very reliable:)

  • I like this phone ... but how much intern memory it has ... i wanna know ... my C380 has 1.8mb ... this one i don't know.

  • Beware if you buy the C139 with Net10 or TracFone. I liked the phone, it was working fine for 6 months. I had no idea about problems some others have reported about the phone resetting itself. Well, it happened to me last week. About 2500 minutes ($250) and 1 year of service just vanished from the phone after it reset itself back to factory defaults. Net10 acknowledged that some of the C139s have a defect causing this to happen. They sent me a Moto V171 as a replacement and restored my minutes.

  • Same as l2 phone for europe from motorola. I am from russia, so i have bought one in Los Angeles 1 mounth ago then I goes back to Russia and here I bring it to service and they made this phone for 900/1800 euro network free of charge as motorole waranty service!! so note that

  • this phone is a waste of time... don't even think to buy it... it's no good... so if u have such a phone please dump it... and fast... the worst phone ever... beside the fact that the batery lasts long, it's a waste of money so... please throw it away...NOOOOW

  • The best choice for all those people who want a cell phone just to talk, not to fooling around with photos and mp3!

  • cool lil thang but the tones suck !! the wallpapers are limited im waiting for c139i howz that ?

  • My old phone was driving me crazy because it was hard to navigate and had too many options that I never used. This inexpensive little Moto C139 is super simple to use and works great!

  • It's cute!!!!!!!!!

  • This is a pretty nice phone, but wallpapers are a little sucky. It has good service and looks nice

  • Nice phone, quite spartan, but nice... autoclick.ro

  • Pros: The sound is great, as an audio AGC circuit keeps the background noise lower than your voice so the caller on the other end hears you better. Receive audio is clear, and undistorted at high volume. Really LONG battery life. You can use this thing a week without charging, so on any road trip, you'll never need a clumsy car power cord. Manual selection of low band 850 meg, or high band 1900 meg let you lock onto the best towers in your area. This prevents the phone from dropping calls as it would in the automatic mode switching from high to low band. Of course you can set it to automatically switch if you want it to. Rubber side grip keeps it in your hand and not on the floor. Cons: Very few other features. No speakerphone. No camera. No gps readout. No internet browser. Color display is useless unless you keep turning on the backlight. Who needs color anyway, when all there is to see is numbers. Wallpaper is a waste as it only makes it harder to see the display. No external antenna, which would have provided better reception in low signal areas between towers. Bottom line: It's a good phone for using to make calls, which is what a phone is really supposed to do anyway. It does this well, and it does it for longer per battery charge than any phone I have ever seen.

  • I think this phone is perfect for someone who doesn't want all the bells and whistles. My phone sits in its case in my pursue the majority of the time, so this is a perfect little phone for me. I knew what I was getting when I researched and read the package, so I didn't expect anymore than what I paid for. People have reported problems with resetting of due date and minutes with the TracFone version, but so far I have not had any problems (knock on wood). Overall, so far so good for what I use it for.

  • this is a great phone but it just don't have the options that everyone else have. i feel bored using this device. sorry

  • Hi, i bought this phone about 3 months ago and so far it reset itself 2 times on it�s own... everytime i call the phone company they say i must done something wrong and reset the features but i�ve been using mobiles about 6 years ago and i know exactly what to press or not, what�s more i don�t even use the phone! i want to know if anyone else experienced this? It just resets itself and all the ringtones and screen savers i got are reset too, the text msg all is gone! please tell me i�m not the only one! Thank you!

  • The funny thing that I have discovered in this simple phone is that it looks morden with good colour, But it doesn't give derivery alert when you send text messege. This makes me bored with the phone as some of my friends keeps on blaming me when I promise to send them text sms. It doesn't show whether the msg has gone or not, and no derivery note. Is there anyone know about this.

  • fantastic fon!!!!!!!!! we cannot expect too much in this type of mobiles.its a gud at lower price comparing to other telecomm services.

  • I went to look on my TracFone users group and some people said to take it out and put it back in a few times. Make sure it's in correctly. Someone said try turning the phone on and off a few times. I don't know why it tells you that, I put mine in and had no problems, make sure it's pushed in all the way and you hear it click. Hope this helps :).

  • Ok, got the phone today with Tracfone, I put the sim card in place, after charging the phone and turned it on it said insert sim. OK, I am no dummy, tech support said to snap the card in place, even with thier help the sim card will not stay in place, any help??

  • does anyone who has this phone know the battery life(exactly),and can u change the covers??thanks all.

  • i bought this phone the other day.and i have got to say that it is an excellent phone.for the price and all,you cannot beat the signal strength on it.you crazy ppl never did say nothing about the signal.that's the most important thing on a cell phone.no signal,no blabbering.i was with sprintpcs and had this phone that i bought from walmart.and the durn thing did not give good signal over where i live.i live out in the valley and didnt get good signal with the sprint phone.so if i wanted to talk on the sprint phone i would either have to go outside,or sit right next to a window.and sit there and not move.and that got very aggervating if you know what i mean.and i thought that sprint was being unfair and so i dropped sprint and went to cingular on the go account.and with much phones that i have had over here i can go all through my home with this little booger.it is cute and like that one fellow said it is durable,that is wild buddy,dropping it from 20 ft.?dang,thats cool.i havent had that kind of problem yet,though but pretty dang sure i will someday.but,i really love this phone.and if you want all that fancy ringtones,wallpapers,and all that jazz,than you need to look for another phone.this phone is the bomb!think about it folks,these cell phones are made for calling,not piddling around with.sheesh.a phone is suppose to call your loved ones,friends,etc.if you wanna play little baby games,get you a freaking gameboy and put a sock in it!!!!but moto,thanks for an awsome phone.you will have my blessings with this little phone of yours.keep up the good work,moto!!!!! DARK WITCH )O(

  • for the ones who have the moto c139, can u tell me how did u format it, how many times, how much time per format, and how long is the battery lasting afterwards. 10x

  • Just tried the Crostel.com site that someone recommended for ringtones and it worked for me. I have a Motorola C139 used through TracFone. The ringtone came as a text message so be aware that you will lose minutes by opening it. But it was pretty simple to save it to my phone.

  • Just wondering does the screen on your C139's go black after about 20 seconds, and then light up when you push a button? Just want to make sure this is normal. Thanks.

  • what do you expect from a basic phone? if you want all that other stuff get a different phone. this little guy is great for what you pay for. if you're a simple person who just needs it for the phone and texting, then it's a great phone. quit complaining about what it doesn't have. you bought it you knew what you were getting, live with it.

  • lovely little fon!but its a pity i cant download songs...

  • I bought 2 of these phones w/ Net10 service. One for me, and one for my wife. Within 1 month, they have **both** reset themselves back to factory defaults, losing all airtime. It took a few days to get my replacement the 1st time, and I'm going through the same thing again. I think I'm finding out the Nokia is a better choice. If my replacements crap out on me, I'll just have to find new phones.

  • this phone is very reasonable ,comparing to the 3000.00 phones that breaks with one fall. got one for my husband whose always loosing his phone. also plan to purchase two for my children ,as soon as possible. are they still avaliable right now? never mind the stupid comments some people make they always want to eat their cake and still have it.

  • I like this phone, not all the bells and whistles. Who needs all that stuff, remember it is only a phone. lol pros: 1 free with current subscriber cons: 1 it will not remote start my car 2 it wont open my garage doors 3 it wont change the station on my satellite receiver 4 it wont store 2 hours of video... all kidding aside great little phone with no flip to break.

  • This is just a basic phone and it doesn't have any special features. My original cingular phone broke and didn't want to pay a lot for another phone. It was purchased as a go phone but I inserted my own sim card and works very well. Good phone and at a very good price.

  • i bought this phone as a speare phone when my v3x on repair,, cause so damm cheap..good battrey is great, ringtone is bad... but you got what you paid for right!!!!..., go moto u make the best phones...

  • I Found Only One Ringtone Site For This Phone crostel.com Some Are Ok And Some Are Not So Good If Anyone Finds Any More You Should Email Them To Me.

  • I live in Thailand and just purchased one of these as part of the Cingular pre-paid service. To answer your question, no it will not work with any other SIM card. On powering up the phone, it will ask you for "Subsidy Password", which of course Cingular does not tell you. Also, the frequencies on the North American version of this phone are not very useful in Asia or Europe. As for me, I only needed the SIM card and the C139 is a fairly primitive phone. I am just going to pitch the C139 and use my spare Sony-Ericsson T630 when I am using the Cingular SIM card in the USA.

  • This phone has a keboard lock and a phone lock and the battary is great! I love this phone! It has polyphonic ringtones to,I wish it had mp3 ringtones but overall is a great simple phone!

  • I got this phone yesterday for my b-day and I think it's a wonderful phone! I mean it doesn't have a camera but it does have polyphonic ringtones that you can download,from the cingular website,it has an alarm clock. I don't like that it only has two wallpapers though.I have dropped it a couple of times but it still works perfect. I recommend this phone to someone who doesn't want all that fancy stuff but wants a simple reliable phone.

  • This phone comes mainly as pre-paid in the US. Has anyone thrown a postpaid SIM in this phone and used it without any problems?? Does the minute bank software from the pre-paid get carried over??? Anyone who can answer, I would appreciate it. I would like it as a spare phone.

  • I just need a basic phone, but I'd like to know if you can download wallpapers for this one since so many people are complaining about them. Also, can you buy covers to put on it? You can email me the answers, or I have yahoo messenger [email protected]

  • I heard that this phone was compliable with windows messenger. Is this true because that is what I need? If anyone has the answer please email me.

  • Well thank goodness for a color phone I only want to answer. When you have choices, that's the difference.

  • Despite many of the previous comments you really can�t beat this phone for the money. The battery life on this thing is without a doubt reason enough to have it. The high priced phones have a lot of new toys yes, but they can�t compare to the rugged construction and long batter life of this phone. I�m a man. I need a dependable phone that can survive a few drops (mine survived a drop form more than 20 feet....try that with a high price RAZOR or any other flip phone), go 2 or 3 days without charging and, always work when I need it to. AND THAT�S EXACTLY WHAT THIS PHONE DOES FOR ME. Leave the fancy ringtons and wallpapers to the ladies and children. And let the lazy folks who are too out of shape to hold the phone to their ear keep their bluetooth. After all isn�t the real purpose of a phone to send and receive calls? Why do you need all the silly little ringtones, wallpapers, and bluetooth do that one function? This little $30 phone does that just as well as any $300 RAZOR and will give you more talk time and more standby time because it doesn�t have to give up power to all the little un-necessary and ultimately useless functions of the high priced phones. If you need to mindlessly stroke your ego buy a high priced toy....if you want a smartly priced highly dependable phone.....buy this one.

  • Any1 kno of a site i can get ringtones for the c139?

  • Its 65k color screen... thats good except that you can choose only three stupid wallpapers...

  • I bought this phone cuz I was told it was poliphonic (what a lie). it doesn't have anything!! not even a crappy alarm clock!! it looks nice... just in the outside. The contacts book supports like 100 contacts or less, it doesn't even have a crappy NOTES option... when you dial a number it just looks huge... it's hard to use... I don't know... it's just awful. I sold it to an old lady like 2 weeks after I bought it and got myself a nice Alcatel ot-552a

  • I too bought this phone as a prepay just to toss the prepaid sim and put my regular sim in. My old phone crapped out on me and i just needed a cheap phone to last until i can get an upgrade without costing me an arm and a leg. Not too hot on the graphics or ringtones but over all seems to be a great phone.

  • The fone comes with (in my opinion) really dumb wallpapers Lily? Peace? Kick? come on its just stupid...

  • I too thought this was a nice phone for the price. Until I woke up this morning and found the damn thing had reset itself back to the factory defaults. Since I bought this for use on a prepaid network, all my airtime was lost. I am currently waiting for a replacement that should be here within 3-5 working days. According to the customer service rep, this is a recurring problem with the phone.

  • I had this phone for a few weeks now and so far its really reliable and a good buy for its cheap price. One complaint is that it is small and the buttons feel wierd when you press them but still a very good first phone I think a good buy. Well done Motorola

  • I had this phone for a few weeks now and so far its really reliable and a good buy for its cheap price. One complaint is that it is small and the buttons feel wierd when you press them but still a very good first phone I think a good buy. Well done Motorola

  • this is the best phone ever. it is small and slick. i really love it. i don't care if i can't download ringtones.i really do love it.

  • I bought this a a cingular go phone. My razr v3 was stolen. Instead of paying full price for another razr {350.00$ or something) I bought this and activated with my old number with a new SIM.

  • I've had this phone for months now! It's great, beautiful on the eye, and it works great too! It's got an outstanding battery life, and a stunning colour screen. I don't know why people say how much they hate this phone, especially because it can't download ringtones; it's not advertised that it can't download ringtones! All in all, the Motorola c139 is a loovely phone, I'd reccomend it to anyone that doesn't want all the bells and whistles :]

  • i was thinking about bying the c139 with tracfone.im not totally convinced so could somebody tell me y i should.it seems like a great phone for the price but i dunno.

  • this phone is mess....booooo

  • hello, I have C139 Motorola cellphones. any time I insert a SIM card I receive the message:"Sim Unlocked. contact service provider". would you please help me find solutions on this technical matter?

  • Well, just to put it to you straigt: I've done gone through two of these in the past month. Yep, you read right, two of them. Both phones were defective. Honestly, I wouldn't trust Motorola with this phone. It does look nice, but is made cheap, which I suppose I should've put into consideration. Also, as I read in another opinion, this phone does not have polyphonic ringtones like it is advertised. I personally recommend that you avoid this phone.

  • the C139 doesn't has the connector that the razor V3 has...

  • This phone does not have polyphonic ringtones

  • I got this phone at Target for $18.00 and I love it!!!

  • Yes u can get real ring tones. you need to purchase a razor v3 data cable and place it in your c139 you can buy them on ebay.be sure to get the software also it will enable your phone to download graphics from your pc.

  • It`s one of the best cell phone I`v ever owned in my life. I`s small. In two palabras in the greatest cell phone

  • Where can I get free ringtone notes for my c139.

  • Best mobile phone I've ever owned. Its smart, its small, it's reliable. Voice quality is good. Unlike Nokia it does not have a hair trigger buttons which get pressed inadvertently in your pocket. Battery life is great. Intuitive user display. Well done Motorola.

  • My friend bought this phone yesterday and is cheap but a great phone. the backgrounds are cool and the ringtones too. is very small and stylish. I am from argentina, and my phone is a alcatel 557.

  • i was thinking of geting this fone. could someone tell me what backgrounds it comes with, and if they are any good? thanx

  • Excellent no frills phone for the money. Just what my other likes. Send/receive calls and text msgs. No camera or other bs to suck up power. If one wants a phone with a lot of whistles and bells, this isn't for you.

  • i think its the best phone couse it has no useless functions.... "keep it simple sophisticated" ;)

  • I hate it!! I cant download music tones or any kind of ringtones!!

  • I have this phone as a back up in case my good phone breaks down. Its a pretty good phone for what I need it for. Battery life is outstanding but what I do hate is... YOU CANT GET NEW DESKTOPS!!! NO USB AND NO MMS! HOW CAN I LIVE WITH LILY, KICK AND PEACE?

  • Better Than The Best

  • Very cheap, very small, very simple to use, very sturdy. Excellent battery life + good sound Quality. I have several phones, this is one of my favourates. If you want a different ringtone, simply download/order a NOKIA monofone ringtone.

  • I was wondering if anyone knows how to download ringtones. Can anyone help me?

  • MANUAL HERE:

  • Hey I think That Motorola Makes Great Phones For A Cheap Cost and that the motorola c139 is awesome for battery life too. Its very sharp in color espicaslly black. The Screen is a little small but o well I rather have a little screen than no cell phone at all. I advise anyone and everyone to buy this phone by tracfone only. They have very nice costomer support too and they anwser all your questions that need anwsering. If anyone who reads my message and has any questions about there C139 phone ask me about it because I know all about this phone myself. This is my third phone and finnaly I found a phone that is a great value. Please dont dis this phone because everything about this phone is great. Thank You.

  • Recently bought this cute prepaid C139 for US$10.00 (brand new) as a back up phone and what a delightful surprise!!! I just love this phone with its bright colours, bold clear fonts and very visible keypad. Battery life is excellent. Called my mom in Canada for Mother's Day and the clarity of the sound was just unbelievable for such a cheap phone. I use it all the time now. I like the sturdy feel of it. It is definitely a little workhorse phone and very simple to use. No frills which I don't miss anyway. I wanted something functional and simple and the C139 is just that. Actually, it is my third phone and the only one I felt encouraged to explore. I only learnt to make and receive calls on the other two. That was enough for me. This phone is now my workhorse and my toy.

  • I am from India. I bought the phone for Rs. 2600 (US $60). Its an amazing phone for this range and it has a big font display and 65k tft screen is awesome. The only drawback is its hard keypad.! But overall its an excellent phone.

  • this phone rocks, it has a long life bat, and economical, no need of taking good care of the covers, coz it doesnt slip, coz of its rubber cover, so its just a simple fon, but strentht.

  • is there any indications when ur charging the battery? does the charger really does'nt fit well in the port?

  • This phone is cheap and nice but clock in screen saver mood is not visible and ringtones aren't nice. Can I solve these problems. In the botton of this phone you can see a port!what is this and how can I Use it? In the end I must tell that I like this phone with all its problems.

  • i have usin this set so its very handy easy to understand and use but 1 problem memory box is of low capacity

  • it is nice,so i need one for free. jeff

  • this fone iz a nice lookin fone bt it iz not gd the keypad iz hard 2 use bt the battery life iz v.gd

  • Got one for 60 euro unlocked.It is an ideal phone for me,great battery life ,about a week with 2 3 hours of talk, it's is rock solid,keyboard quality is decent,has rubber insertions on sides so it doesn't slip in your hands, looks good and assembly quality is perfect.It's small and light.Simple,basic phone without any other gadgets.

  • Here ya go Donna..

  • Does this phone have a "Keyboard Lock" feature?

  • im luking picars for motorola c 139

  • Great cheap phone Pros: Good TFT, 60k , brilliance: OK very good battery life: 8 days very very good quality of sound: clear Cons: Only monophonics tones Not irda or BT, or USB communication Little memory internal: only 100 numbers in internal agend Not record voice, not camera, not mp3. Cost in Spain, 34 Euros:basic but great phone for talk.

  • How can I get a copy of the instructions for this phone please?? Motorola c139

  • * How to turn off the keypaid volume Goto Ring Styles->Loud Ring Detail -> Key Volume -> use Navigation Key to adjust the keypaid volume

  • This phone is NOT good, the key pad is hard to press, the menu functions are too confusing and you have to go thru SO many menus to get where you want, its crazy. Limited SMS storage of messages is a big MINUS. Battery life is bad once you have the screen light up, it chews power like no tomorrow. The phone is cheap as chips but i know its a entry level phone, for a few dollars more you can get a better phone from another company like LG, Nokia, or Samsung. I made the mistake of finding out by using it in the 1st hour of ownership. Wished i had brought another brand now.

  • I just saw the phone today, very cute ? mini ROKR E2 ;) it cost ~RM290 here in malaysia good upgrade for those still using one of the earliest motorola colour screen phone E360 or anyone who only needs to use phone for calling and sms. also featured with suprisingly high powered battery-probably needs recharge after ? 4/5 days

  • ei guys im a user of this cute fon from phillipines,can someone tell me where i can download ringtones or compose?tnx...please email me...

  • I believe it is a nice phone.Can any user pls share how do you feel about the keypad?Is it hard?

  • I love this cheap phone. Anyhow, I had never use any features in any latest phone technologies, such as Camera, MP3, Bluetooth, MMS, Radio, etc, except communication by phone call or SMS only. So... it's enough for me....

  • i brought this great little phone for my 8 yr son please can someone tell me of a site i can download ringtones he loves the cartoon themes

  • I like simple and cute phone. But may i know what is the built in memory? is it 1MB or 2MB or..?

  • Hi everyone i just bought the c139 and think its great however... Why does the backlight go off for the screen saver because this means you can not see the screen saver and also does anyone know any good melody sites as i have no imagination!

  • I just bought this phone BRAND NEW for �9.99 (plus �5 Orange airtime) from Carphonewarehouse. It is also as I found out UNLOCKED as I intended to use it as a spare when I don't want to damage my V3 on O2. It is a great little phone with 7.5 hour talktime and 2 weeks standby between charges. It also has HUGE numbers on the display as you type them in (perfect for my Grandparents senior eyes!) Only niggle is that I haven't found out how to turn off the awful keypad tones without going silent. I'm sure it must cost more than �10 to make, so who is paying for this??? Thank you Orange! Buy one. It's great. Cheap. No frills. Nice and small. And suprisingly good to look at (unlike all other cheap phones except NEC 343i) Get one for you and your Gran!

  • Got this to fill in as my V220 broke. Got it for �20 including an orange SIM pack. Really easy to use, small and discrete and dear say quite good looking. Better built than the V220 and has quite a lot of gimmicks. No poly ringtones, no camera or MP3 nor MMS but I didn't use any of them anyhow. Being quite honest I think I'll just keep using this because I only want a small robust basic phone which this is. Recommended for people who want to communicate only.

  • really impressive battery performance: 450 h stand by time!!! (almost 3 weeks)

  • I don't understand, why in this cheap low-end class phone is TFT 65.000 color display????? I think would be enough and CSTN 4096color, because this phone is low-end, not something higher. But in conclusion i like all these cheap motorola :)
