Motorola T180 - User Reviews

  • This is my first phone. I still have it but it doesn't have battery anymore and charger too. A phone worth have those years.

  • Would u tell me which charger jack it accepts?

  • Yeah, it's a good phone. I've been using it since late 2000 when my parents gave it to me as a birthday present. Have replaced the battery a couple of times, and the charger, but other than that, it works great. It's been a matter of principle not to replace my phone until it works. There were times when this has made things difficult, but at this point, I have an iPad mini for my smartphone things, so it's really quite fine. Getting all sorts of looks for it, perhaps a bit less in the more recent days, since these things are making a slow return.

  • Short sms memory . 20 sms. Its my firth phone.

  • A 'mini sim' is what you call a 'standard sim' - officially, a standard size sim is the same dimensions of a credit card.

  • The simultaneous pressing of the # and * keys is used when you have the phone switched ON (standby) and it is in a pocket or bag do not wish it to accidentally dial a number, so it is OFF. The emergency 999 is used in the UK and they have been called by accident by the 9 key pressing on something in the bag or pocket. To "unlock" (turn keypad back ON) press of the # and * keys again. Hope this helps. I use a Virgin PAYG sim. This cost me £10 and included an airtime credit of £10, so really the sin card was free. Today I think "3" have a similar deal. T180-user

  • where can i buy motorola t 180 mobile

  • I am in Bali, Indonesia and bring two Motorola talkabout T180 with me as present. But putting in the SIM card of INDOSAT it says....give a special code. I have a Mac and most of the software you can download is for Windows. For getting the code they ask from 3-30 dollar on the internet. I see on the forum just press * and # simultanious to unlock the phone, but this is not working. Does anybody has a cheap solution? Thanks in advance.

  • yep there are some spare batteries in ebay link: maybe they ship it to ghana I am not sure!!

  • I have also found my old one but i need battery and charger. can you help me with that? i am in Ghana.

  • i have recently got my old T180 out of the drawer and found a charger that works on it. It appears to work fine so i have just bought a battery for i9t and waiting for it to come in the post. I know that the info on here states that it takes a min sim card. This is not true as i have a full size sim card in mine.

  • Hi. It was my first mobile phone, as it was for many of us, nah. True, it worked well, for its category; it was the cheapest and the most stylish at that time. Truly said, the battery was not available or a bit expensive to replace

But still working 2 days with my 2 years old battery which I bought on the market for 5 euro... Who knows a good internet shop (holland) for these battery?

  • Very interested in your comments regarding modified battery pack. Just one question, how did you manage to connect them together.

  • great spelling boyo!!!

  • Brilliant phone, rugged, reliable - I have had many years good service. It does what it's supposed, that is A Mobile Phone! and not lots of gadgets for a 5min giddy confection. Sadly I've lost the User Guide and would like to exploit its full potential - text etc and hope to send them. Whoops! Can anyone help? Grateful ol' dinosaur.

  • mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

  • This is a very grannyish phone, it is the sought of phone and old lady will have because it looks very plain and simple and old people never no how to use mobile phones. I don't blame them as I have a silly little shiny samsung. It is a pain to use. Ugh!

  • I forgot to mention that this was my first phone and could not have done better choice. :D

  • I have and I think this model is a good phone because it is the only one who has resisted. While the others, I have had have been all for recycling. :)

  • My dad was using this phone. It is no so good but I just love the design and the blue color...Nowdays its kinda retro =)

  • My mum had this phone. Not easy to use, bad user menu , battery needed to recharge too often. In general, most motorolas before 2001 were difficult to setup and to use their menu.

  • haha, yea i rememebr this crapophone lol, it was my second phone afer some bigass oldschool sony phone. heh i loved this blue color. it was cool back n the days.

  • my grandad had this phone :D it stood him well wen he was working lol he droped it loads of times but it still worked all in all a good reliable phone

  • This was my first phone, it was stylish and came with a free CD player! Easy to use, and reliable for 3 years until it started to crash in hot weather. Simple phone but did exactly what was required.

  • My dad had this phone. I liked it. It looks better than Motorola's newer phones. Its got a modern, stylish, sleek look about it. I didnt want him to sell this phone so we kept it.

  • WOW ! it was my first phone! it was a nice phone until i lost him!

  • Goddess, i remember this phone, it was my First mobile phone. WOW! i didnt actually know who had made it though.

  • My first phone... Brings back the memories. I had a black one, Though the battery was not good enough and also no vibration, still was a very good phone...

  • oh baby oh baby, this phone is so hot! i need this !!!

  • Factastic phone - I've had mine for 5 years now. It holds it charge for about 6 days. Basic phone which is simple to use, comes with SMS. I use my phone less than 30 mins per week on a PAYG package - the battery lasts 6 days. I have replaced the battery 3 times within the past 5 years (you know when the battery needs replacing when the charge goes in 1-2 days).

  • hi i have used this phone for about 3 years i dont think there is provition for small letters in the sms com

  • Motorola T180 is the worst phone I ever used and hold in my hands. Clock, alarm-clock, vibration ring are announced in instruction, but are not available in reality. The battery is very weak, even at the best conditions of receiving time to talk is not greater than 30 minutes (seven times lesser than is announced!). The quality of receiving is much worser than that of Siemens phones. But the price was quite high! Motorola company exposed itself to shame by this product. I'll never buy Motorola phones and I always disadvise to buy Motorola phones to anyone at any circumstances!

  • Hai I use this model for around 2 years and found date/time provisions on LCD display. Somebody please let me know how to activate it. Thanx, Jose +91 94430 78914

  • Well the Motorola T180 Cell phone is a phone well suited for low budget user. Though it has less features compared to other phones like Nokia or Erricson it's network catchup is very powerful. I travel through subways & remote areas where other phones are not able to catchup the network signals but Motorola T180 does it. After all it's made by the the most powerful wireless communication industry gaint MOTOROLA. I trust Motorola for its powerful engineering.
