  • Hey Do Any Of Yall HAve One That I Like A Phone But Mini And Do Yall Have A Number To Them Well Tell Me

  • I still use my T2288. Batteries are available from Ebay for $ 9 including Worldwide Shipping.

  • This phone uses propietary battery (it was possible to find aftermarked, made by Sanyo) - it is longer than AAA, NiMH, 1.2V.

  • I just found one of these at an op shop but can anyone help as the battery has been taken out and I don't know what type fits it? I did try aaa and aa batteries but they don't fit. Any help would be appreciated :-)

  • By far one of my favoutite ever phones, rivaled every phone on the market at the time and every one wanted one, now off to ebay to see if I can buy myself one

  • hah :D I have working one here too :P

  • I used to use this phone, and I recently found a pair of them in my closet. I charged one of them up and it STILL WORKS. I'm going to see if I can get service re-established for it so I can use it as my everyday phone.

  • my first phone love it

  • If you still hav this fone,go to the nearest bank and they change it for a good price..or keep it maybe someday it'll worth a million,,,Vintage!

  • This was my first phone..I love it..

  • I love this phone, this was my first one :D

  • I was my first phone that i have ever used..............

  • I still have this phone and I`m just buying charger for that to use it:-)

  • I had one of these phones, i often use it. Its funkyx and fresh design and it takes not much space as my other old phones that i use. I often get bullied because of this phone, but i love this phone, and i wont stop use it!

  • my first phone ever!

  • waaaiii...its my first favorite phone!!! i really miss this one

  • same thing as u, i had this phone when i had 11, now i`m 15... :D in 2003, it was a wonder to me...:P

  • This phone was so bad & wow its been 6 yrs since I had this.

  • OMG THATS MY FIRST PHONE... Now its 7 years old and still works... my grandfather uses it :) I can say only good things about it. I loved its games,too. And... WOW HOW DURABLE IT IS! One car smashed it and only broke its glass. In dangerous situation it can be used as a very dangerous weapon!

  • I had this phone when I was 11 and I loved it. Im seventeen now and have had many better phones but I will always remember this one. it was sound!

  • I've just downloaded the manual off Motorola's website and discovered the Quick Access function after 8 years of ownership. Hurray! As they say in the computing industry -RTFM! -Read The F****** Manual. mp

  • I think I've had mine since about 1998. It's worked fine ever since. What I like is it's simplicity-I just want to use it as a phone and to send and receive text msgs. My only gripe is I wish I could reprogram the menus the way I want them. I have had to replace the battery a couple of times otherwise no problems at all. I wonder if the industry still produces a mobile that just functions as a phone or is that too weird/fuddy-duddy? MP.

  • i have a talkabout from 98 or so ...and it was good t'ill 2005 when he died....i mean i have 2 keep it in the plugg 2 aswer ...but he's a soldier allright ;)

  • i want to say i rekon this ph is great i put it in a cup then filled it with water and it went but then it stopped and i left it on the window sill all day and it went again wot new ph does that ae??

  • One of my best phone, what i have ever had! Simply, cheap and what's the most important, it works very well. Ok, this phone is ugly, but who cares...it has all what i need.

  • f.b.i telefon u.s.a

  • This phone is probably in top 5 of the most horrific phones ever created by man. It's stupid (not even a clock in 2000...???), big & heavy and UGLY. Owners of T2288... you should consider Trium Mars (same age, smaller price, better everything else)

  • how do i get ringtone

  • I have this phone for more than 1 year.It proved out to be good in the beginning but later on it became a pain in the neck.Its charger pin is getting loose all the time which needs to be fixed every now and then.The pin problem interrupts charging.I had to change its batry after 6 months and even the new one isn't working.Its batry time is far less than mentioned.Its a good set according to the price but its batry messes up majorly

  • this is last phone i had and i can honestly say that it is shite! i had a sagem before this and even that was better. i can't believe i swopped my sagem for something worse :S

  • I have use Motorola Talkabout T2288 model in almost 2 years.This model is very tough,rugged and strong model. Even I have fell it,its still can function as usual.But its also lack in sms sending which only a few sentence can be send to the receiver.Its also didnt have picture messege.

  • My dad is using t2288 and i use to play game with it. It is a good hand set.

  • motorola t2288 has three games(Towers of Hanoi ; Baccarat ; Bricks ) . it has clock and alarm too . motorola has ringtone composer . and it hasn't no colors.

  • well its off the chain but i would like to know how to put my own music on it??HELP!!!!!

  • i need some music raning how can i have it.

  • It's very simple and cheap phone. Have not all the features the other phones do, but works GREAT if all you nead is to make call, and answer. Many people use phone just for that. Good battery, good call quality, signal. Only thing that is wierd is why did they put in a Wap browser, and didn't put a simple clock and alarm.

  • The recent purchase of T2288 all the features that are mentioned in the manuals are not there on the phone. Please clarify its very disappointing.
