Pantech Ease - User Reviews

  • If you have a "screen protector" on it, this could be the problem! There is a sensor & I believe it thinks it is by your face, so it acts like it is and light stays out! Works great now that I just removed protector!!!

  • Try holding down the two volume buttons at once.

  • I don't know how many long messages I have typed that have disappeared into thin air without the possibility of retrieving them. I also have pretty much the same problems everyone else mentions. My last two phones were far more advanced than this one when it comes to texting or talking. It's by far the worst phone I have ever owned.

  • Get a real screen protector!... Amazon, cheap

  • hate hate hate this phone! when i text it automatically dails and calls that number a huge amount of the time. when holding the phone often here a small voice "hello".. it randonly dailed like my boss or some other person on my contact list. sooo anoying and embarasing. this happens really really often, say abount once a day. did i say i hate this phone? always a lot of junk on the screen i can't remove. if too many text messages in the list it stops working. when it makes a random call it is super hard to disconnect the call..it just does not respond....the screen goes black for a while. hate it.

  • This phone is horrible! I have had it for two years now and it is just to hard to even look at it. The phone itself did its job but now it just shuts off. I slide the keyboard, it shuts off. I slide the keyboard and type a message, it shuts off. I try to reboot it once, it doesn't work. The phone doesn't even turn on! It hasn't worked for me since yesterday. What if something happens? I wouldn't know because my phone doesn't work. The Internet is horrible, the calls drop, the camera is bad, all in all the phone isn't well constructed and I regret getting it. I am getting a new phone soon and I won't live this nightmare again (hopefully)

  • Every time I make a call the screen goes black and no buttons will work. I have to take out the battery and restart the phone. How can I fix this??

  • does anybody have any better ideas than taking my phone taking out the battery and SIM and replacing them if it still wont turn on? I need assistance ASAP please.

  • I had this phone for less than a year, and it was working great until yesterday when the buttons decided not to work. I can still use the touch screen, but I cant use any of the buttons!

  • happens to me to! how did you fix it?

  • How do I get rid of the Emergency Call Only setting? It asked if I wanted to reset counter. Not knowing what this would do I said no. It then went into Emergency mode so I can't call or text. This phone is a piece of crap by the way. Low battery life even though I have it set on the easiest and low option settings and use it only as a phone. It will slide partly open in your pocket and waste power and then go into weirdo mode where it won't blank the screen all night long. Sometimes the keyboard won't work while texting and it is too easy to hit the camera or voice activation buttons and turn on things I don't want on. It is only a few months old and I have never dropped it. I will be ditching this dog ASAP, like November when I can get an upgrade.

  • when on a call and another call comes in, i click the button to go to the new call but it says not allowed...what's going on/

  • how to activate a facebook in my phone

  • plug in the charger and slide out key board

  • I agree, i have this phone for the time being n i hate it!!! it always shuts off randomly!!!

  • i hate this piece of junk i used tape as the screen protect old one always bubbled up and this one does 2 why!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!

  • Please , I really need help !! /: My power button doesn't work. Is there any other way to turn it on ? If someone knows please please please help . Thank you . >..

  • This phone is not good at all. i don't know how long I've had it but randomly it shut off and when i tried to turn it back on a black screen comes up. i can still call but the screen wont turn on at all. the back lights will come on but that's all. i would not recommend this.

  • i love and i hate it . recently it started not holding a charge for very long. i got this phone on may 13th, 2012 because the screen on my old lg shine broke when i dropped it . if it would hold a charge it would be great

  • I like the phone when it works. Began rebooting soon after purchased, 4-20-2012, with most called numbers. At 31 days replaced with refurbished phone, not happy. After 2 days replacement phone did the same thing. Soon husbands phone started, cannot look at photos, purchased at the same time. So 3 phones with the same problem? Now I read that many others have the same issue? Hmmm.Will be replaced tomorrow with something different.

  • i have the same problem.. every time i go to my pictures the phone restarts.. and then freezes for like 10 minutes until it starts up again.. did you ever figure out ho to fix it?

  • Okay so my phone shuts off everytime I try to click on my album or pictures and my phone tripled my contacts . Please help anyone !

  • This problem is that you have set it on sim and phone to show your contacts if you go to your contact settings and change it just to phone or sim contacts, that will fix it

  • i have this phone and there is an extensive list of problems its battery takes all night and some times even longer sometimes i want to throw it at a wall then burn the remains

  • Ok I have had this phone or about 6 months now and my contacts have doubled I don't know why so now I have 2 of every single contact why did this happen what can I do please help!!!!

  • Ive had this phone for over a year, and I love it!! it has a few quirks, but after a reboot, goes back to normal. Sometimes the texting freezes and wont send a message, and occasionally shuts itself off, but nothing that would stop me from keeping this model until it blows up.

  • I HATE this phone! When I first purchased this phone, it would routinely (numerous times per day) turn off for no reason (battery fully charged). I exchanged the phone. The replacement phone also occasionally turned off for no reason. I thought I could live with this since it occurred infrequently and it seemed like this would be a problem with all phones of this model. Now, six months later, it shuts off several times per day, but I am stuck with it! I am constantly missing calls and messages! Hopefully, I will not miss an emergency call, and it will not have turned off when I need it in an emergency!

  • my at&t pantech ease when its on the screen wont light up and when i turn it off and back on as soon as it goes dark it stays dark somebody please help

  • My wife loves this phone, however this will be the 4th one we have gotten in 2 yrs, 2 under warranty and 2 purchased. Each one has failed with a black screen. this model seems to have a backlight problem, trying to talk her into a different phone :(

  • I'm having a problem with my Contacts. This is the first problem since I bought this phone (almost a year ago.) The number of contacts have doubled. Each contact is now appearing twice. I have already checked to be sure that I'm not viewing my contacts from both the phone and SIM. The only thing I (and the people at the ATT store)know is to manually delete the extra records. Does anyone know a better fix then deleting records one at a time?

  • From the Menu screen choose Pictures. Next, choose the pic you want on your computer, then tap Options. the next screen gives you a chance to Send. Choose Multimedia Mess.... The pic is attached to a Message. Now, tap the box that reads Tap to address. Search for the person to whom you wish to send the picture (in this case yourself, hopefully you have your email addy in your contact record.) When you select your contact record you should see phone numbers and your email addy as the last entry, choose it now. The screen comes back as having a check mark next to your name, tap OK. Now tap Send. Once sent you open your email (on your computer), download the pic and your done!

  • i have this phone and i think it's great but it dropped once and now half the phone is black. it's not scratched and i can still use it i just cant see what im txting or clicking on. and the only other problem is on advanced mode you butt dial people ALOT

  • I have had this phone for almost a year now. I have never had it replaced, and never needed to. Most of my problems have fixed themselves. While on a phone call, the screen goes black and locks so that you don't hit buttons while on the phone. To get the screen back on, turn the phone face up. The screen will go back to normal so that you can hang up. Also, it is very sturdy. I'm clumsy and I have dropped it many times and even got unlucky in a storm on a boat and it got wet, and it is still working just fine. The battery life suits me. If you use it all day long, yeah it will only last about 8 hours. But it was on two bars and i left it on all night and didn't touch it until noon and the battery hadn't moved. Oh, and if the phone will not send messages, then make a call, just let the call ring once and hang up. I guess the phone has to re-establish connection sometimes. My girlfriend and I do it all of the time because all pantechs seem to have that problem, either that or it IS AT&T. The only two things I have had with the phone is when I put the phone on speaker, nobody can hear me but I can hear them loud and clear. I don't know where the speaker mic is on the phone. And this next one may be from me dropping it so much, but when i slide the screen, it won't load so I have to slide it back and forth until it loads the right screen and lets me see what I'm doing.

  • well over all its a good phone and battery life is good but i only have two complaints on is when i call somebody the screen turns back and the phone locks that happned to my other pantch persuit the other one is the voice record when i go to record something after its done i try to listen but its fuzzy it dsnt work at all and sometimes it would be nice to record and thats about it but if u like to record and u want a good size phone that is good to put in your pocket buy the pantech persuit

  • my screen locks and goes balck too but when i try recording it wont work it will just be staticy any suggestions?

  • Wow, I have the Pantech Ease, I am on my 2nd (replacement) and they are shipping a 3rd today. Every time make a call the screen goes black and no buttons not even the slide unlock will work. I have to wait for the call to time out or take out the battery in order to proceed. The phone is not even a year old...what do we do?

  • It's a good phone but today after I got home from school it was on mute and I have no clue how to get it off. Does anyone know?

  • When I was looking into this phone, I could not find a very helpful review, so now that I have the phone, I'll leave a review so somebody else isn't in my situation! Overall, the Pantech Ease is a very nice and sturdy phone. I am crazy about texting and probably send/receive 500+ texts a day. I used to have a Palm Centro (my pride and joy) so I wanted a phone with lots of text storage and features. Well, the Pantech Ease is pretty close to what I wanted. Though, there are a few bugs with texting; sometimes when I click send nothing happens, and I have to re-enter the recipient..it's weird. To solve this, I can also erase some messages, that seems to work. I wish it held more messages, but the conversational text-mode makes my life easy. As for features, the camera is pretty decent for a cellphone. All the games require internet..lame. The touch screen is pretty accurate and responsive. I have not had much trouble there. A few times I will accidentally press on something, but that's my own clumsiness, not the phones. The phone does seem to dent and scratch fairly easily, so I bought a cheap case off Amazon, works like a charm. Overall, good phone. not the best, but I would recommend it. It is very user friendly and simple but it has some pretty cool features. Well done Pantech.

  • dont buy it. i traded mine in 3 times. people tell me i sound terrible. it gives me trouble constantly. i get this garbled screeching sounds while i'm talking. the kep pad locks me out and i cant dis-connect the call. great key board and easy mode...love that. i'm buying a new phone tomorrow...this one is going in the trash!

  • Iv had my phone for two months now first the good things I like: the slider motion is very smooth and solid, easy\advanced modes for your convenience, display is large enough to see even without my glasses. Now for the less desirable features: Bloteware takes more than 10meg of space, touch screen is non responsive and I can't find a stylus for it, speaker is very hard to hear and headphones don't help, when the phone is on but not in use the battery only lasts 8-10hours (wake up go to work get home plug it in or hear the battery low beep).

  • good phone but the back speaker went out about 5 months after i got it :(

  • download a Pantech suite P2020

  • how u donload ur pics 2 ur computer from pantech ease phone

  • Also if you don't have a case it is very easy to break. I had my phone off all day, for eight hours, in my pocket. It was working and was perfectly fine in the morning. Then a little after three I turn on my phone and there was internal screen damage. If your a person that is a even a little clumsy this is not the phone for you at all.

  • Yes, I have a pantech ease phone and i had mine for like a month then the speaker started getting really scratchy and sounds like its about to go out and was wondering if i could get that changed out and how much it would cost.

  • It could be a nice phone. Bought it for "Texting", but it "fails to send" most of the time. AT&T has replaced the phone 3times and the Sim card twice. What a POS!!

  • I bought this phone two months ago and all it has been doing for me is giving me trouble. I'll be on a phone call and my cheek will put the person on mute (my husband hates it because he'll be like are you there and I'll respond but he won't hear me). Then it will go into my contact and call people when I'm on a phone call. It will unlock itself when it's in my pocket and I will pull it out and it will have sent random messages to people or it will be like "delete this contact?" Very annoying phone to deal with. Highly recommend NOT buying it. There is a lock feature that is password protected but once its unlocked, it won't keep the lock feature locked.

  • Battery life too short. Needs to be charged daily.Constantly being told peoplethey have trouble hearing me,or they're getting voice feedback.I was told by an AT&T salesperson that the cause is AT&T , but why didn't I have this trouble with my old Nokia ?

  • does it even have a texting signaature? I really want to know if i should buy this phone?

  • I just started using the phone today and friends tell me, they can not hear me well, was I whispering? volume is up, and speaker sounds great from this end, but without speaker, the sound is low.

  • the phone is awsome and nice only i dont know how to put a signature up there for when i text my friends. can someone tell me??

  • This phone seems to be a new begining when it really doesn't have to be. This phone has an execellent design. The keypad is very functional and user friendly. The display has a very professional look and user friendly layout. Nice storage capabilities. More storage is always a plus. Having some type of OS and WLAN would have made this phone more competative. A cool hidden keypad or a sliding trick -that PANTECH is know for, would have also been cool. "Adding to any thing can often times be helpful but taking away from some thing should be thought through deeply" -VIP Overall, the phone is a good phone. Good job staff at Pantech. Always on the look out....... VIP

  • same here.. what the helll!!!!! this is 2010 man..
