Pantech Impact - User Reviews

  • put in a sim

  • My fon says insert sim,please do you have any solution to this insert sim problem?

  • Can I used it in Liberia, if yes can I have the SIM unlock codes?

  • hi every one i want some help do u know which mobile's back cover mach in this mobile because i lost my back cover but i could not find that

  • Mine sometimes says insert sim,please do you have any solution to this insert sim problem?

  • I've had this phone since the summer of 2010 when my kid gave it to me so she could buy her Iphone and it's a pretty good phone. The only real complaints is that I wish it was a bit lighter and that aftermarket covers would fit better on it...the one I got broke within weeks and was totally useless. Luckily the guy on ebay refunded my $ for the piece of crap he sent me. I really like the larger keys on the keypad which make texting a breeze, other models and brands have keypads which are just too small to type with. I prefer to do everything with the phone in the open position, just easier for me as I don't like the touch screen on front. Besides that, this phone does everything I need a phone to do...make and receive calls and text. I don't download or use the internet on it as there are better devices for this kind of activity but as a basic cellphone, the Impact hits all the buttons. I almost bought a LG 550 yesterday but decided to keep the Impact as it was just better technology and features. I felt I wanted a change but when push came to shove, it just didn't make sense to swap out phones at this juncture. I'm still a happy camper after almost 3 years of ownership which says a lot about this phone!

  • hey! my name is Samantha too! anyways, i dropped mine in the toilet too, and i put it in rice also and it doesnt work anymore..the battery vibrated,its weird. and it turns on, but the screen is faded, so when i have to look at the screen i have to put it under the sun or a lamp. sorry i dont know how to fix it:/

  • i do not like this phone!! i liked it at first but a month into it...it started getting scratched really bad, the silver on the side started chipping, and the back fell off constantly. then somehow i lost it outside my school and then the janitor found it and it got ran over. so it was broken..then i got the same exact phone and i dropped it in the toilet and the battery made this weird buzzing noise and the screen was faded, the only way i could look at the screen was if i put it under a lamp or the sun. and i also hate how you couldnt have a signature, and you cant keep very many messages because it tells you your messages are full, and the camera sucks. if u r thinking of getting this phone, DONT! (other than that, the phone was alright..it wasnt slow, you can send and receive picture messages, and it was pink!(: haha)

  • Ive jumped in the lake with mine in my pocket but quickly set it in the sun to dry and nothing is wrong with it, it still works perfectly fine. Also i havent had the problem with the back falling off and it wont scratch if you take care of it. Ive had mine for 2 years and its not scratched up badly at all though the silver lining around the phone does chip easily. Works fine for me but i still would like a newer upgraded phone.

  • I like the phone I really do besides a few problems I can handle. But there is really one thing that is really pissing me off I can't send pictures nor can I receive them. And I can't figure out why it does not tell you I do have internet for the phone can some one PLEASE HELP!!!

  • This phone is really cool, I really like it. I had the samsung solstice, And It is a great fone. The impact is very cool. I have no problems, minus the bacl falling off, but got a case, n have no more problems. My friend had thos fone before, then got a new fone, but she seems to like the impact better, and got another panteth impactn... I strongly recpmmend this phone! (:

  • I don't recommend this phone at all! I have a pink one and it doesn't send messages very well at all! It has full service but the little E doesn't show up! Mine also randomly shuts off! I think that At&T is a crappy network! I can't wait until my contract is up!!

  • It's vool

  • Theres lot of pantechs but mine is touch screen its the best I kust dont know how to make a contact

  • You dont half to have internet you Have to options unlimited texting or internet. I got the unlimited texting.

  • alright so I have this phone. and I ABSOLUTLY HATE IT! I plan on getting a iPhone in a month or two once I'm back at home (I'm away visiting) anyways, I have the same problem with the back of the phone falling off and all that. but I also can't use templates or insert pictures and my phone is all scratched and it just Compleltly sucks. this was the first phone I've get had and I've had it for like 3 years and I HATE it. my moms getting me the iPhone. I do not recommend this phone to ANYONE! I've never damaged this phone in any way and it's stupid.

  • putting pictures is easy all you have to do is put in insert picture,picture again and then camera and pick a picture you can even click on a button that says take picture by going to insert and the 4th one says take picture but also you have to already be on the message

  • this is exactly what happend to my impact!!! only i dropped mine in the toilet and the back wont stay on

  • mine wont fit right either i put strips of medical tape on and it lasted a long time

  • -shuts off all the time in the middle of a text - im sending a really long text and I'm next to a letter thats right next to the delete or whatever button and somehow it just goes back to the home screen!! - the front scratches insanely easy!!!! the little metal part around the screen is all chipped off. - sometimes the front of the screen freezes so you have to open it, then close it again -the camera is not very good -the messages ARE ALWAYS FULL! i can never keep at least 3 conversations with people without it saying , "please delete messages" -it spazzess a lot the only cool thing is that the messaging design is pretty cool. i have had this phone for exactly a year now and i can't wait till i get another one. don't reccomed this phone unless all you care about is the design of messaging

  • How do you put a signature on it I have spent a year trying to figure it out

  • i have had two pantechs and the back wont fit right. i have to keep it duct taped. i have a pink one. but other than that i love this fone. it works good and is very easy to use.

  • Okay so my mom had this phone for 3 years and finally decided to give it to me (: the phone has no problems with it what so ever, i'd say the only thing wrong is that i cant send picture messages or receive them but that's okay because i will figure it out(: and yes the back did fall off but get a good looking case to cover it and WABAM! its fixed. i love this phone and it's better then nothing at all so people just have to get over it phone's have problems not all of them are perfect.

  • IT'S AWFUL ! I've been telling my mom how it does random things and scratches so easily.. But scince I've been reading these reviews she's like Oh your making it up -.- It's Terrible.. I dont reccomend it !! Tho it's nice for the 1st month it scratches easy syas it has water damage when it doesnt.. DONT BUY IT WASTING YOUR TIME/MONEY

  • Ok, this phone is not bad. I have to say, it scratches so easely, my mom told m like yesterday "your phone Is scratched up bad. What did you do?" I told her "nothing." and continue texting xD. I got so agervated with the back allwayse comming off, so I threw it at my wooden floor. -.0 strange. Then I like stormed off and grabbed the ducktape... Otherwise..... It works pretty well. I give it about four stars. I'm vRy upset that it doesen give signatures. Like all my friends have it. COM ON AT&T! Dx. That's all I gotta say. PEACE! Btw I'm a girl. Lol -.0

  • While the Pantech Impact is not the best phone, it sure is a very good phone and probably the most reliable I've ever had, though I have had some problems with the phone as far as the charger and the sound is concerned, this phone is all in all a wonderful phone. The texting is easy and my fingers adjust well to the keyboard. I understand the complaints, but honestly when you can find a phone with no errors and absolutly no problems, let me know. Until then, this is a truly amazing phone.

  • It's a good phone for the most part. It's pretty user friendly. The only problem I've had with it, is that it drops almost all my calls. But I haven't really had any problems for the 2 months I've had it.

  • i have a pantech impact and when its empty charged it takes a long time to work but now i tried opening it but it didnt work it never touched water and its safe with me but it doesnt open any advise? please?

  • Its good, its fun, its lasted me this long, even though it gets way too scratched up. Funny story, once it had just started working crazy, all weird and stuff, and then i accidently dropped it in some water, a big tub of water, and BOOM! it worked! it worked better then it had in a long while. only now, just a few minutes ago, i noticed a strange buzzing sound from the battery, and the arrows on it make weird clicking sounds. Any thoughts? I mean, im afraid it may explode! Its been through the works, ive had it for around two years, dropped it a lot, gotten it kinda wet a lot, played with it more then i should. Any thoughts? Please?

  • How can I make prints from my pics on the Pantech Impact?

  • I have had this phone for about a year now and I hate it. It always shuts off for no reason when the battery is full. That what I hate the most about it. Lately the front screen is picky on when it wants to work. Occasionally when I open it, I will hit a button and nothing happens so I have to close it and open it again. For the longest time I had this really weird issue where I could not send any text messages until I sent one unless I turned off my phone and turned it back on. Also, unlike many of the other posts I've read, this phone has absolutely no water damage, so anything that's wrong has nothing to do with that sort of user error. The front does scratch really easily but other than that it has been very durable for me. I would not recommend anyone get this phone. The only reason I haven't gotten a new one is because I can't afford one right now. DON'T BUY IT.

  • Honestly, its nice to know that my phone isnt the only one with alot of problems. *It randomly vibrates *It makes random calls on its own *The back falls off all the time *Half the time the front screen wont work/ turn on *It randomly turns on and off for no reason. *It scraches way to easily. *Sometimes the buttons when you open it wont work, and you have to shut it, and open it again. *After a week of having this phone, it said it had water damage, when in fact, I hadnt had it anywhere NEAR water. I like the way the messaging is set up in texts, but thats about it. Definitely not worth it. The phone seems great at first, but then it turns to crap.

  • Wow o.O Check your plan because I recieve and send picture mesages ALL the time o.O Check before you post.. Just saying O.O

  • I got the pantech impact about 6 months ago, and my back of my phone fell off. Then my dog bit it, then my mom threw it away. My Dad didn't want to buy a new one so I put duck tape on my battery and attached it to my back and it works pretty well!!! I Love this phone!!! I mean come on people, yes phones freeze, yes the phone might not have a sig. but all in all it is a great phone and I love it :) my rating is 10/10 :) I defintaly recomend this phone to EVERYONE!!!! :) It is AWESOME!

  • GET OVER THE FACT IT DOESNT HAVE A SIGNATURE! not every phone does! also this phone is the best phone i have ever had! sooo yeahh!

  • no... but if u don't you can't get picture messaging

  • This Phone is horrible, it would turn off by itself, go off in school, and get scratches. I think it's just Pantech in general.

  • I HATE THIS PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ive had 2 of this type because the first one broke and now my second one broke! it scratches so easily, i have scratches completely covering the front, and the back did not stay on so one day it fell off and i lost it. it has so much water damage and it randomly shuts off on me! i might be getting the samsung solstice tomorrow. i hope its much better than this stupid pantech. i do not recommend this to anyone.

  • this phone sux, it turns off and on randomly, u cant put a signature on the msgs, u cnt edit a picture or a video, my old FLIP ONE WAS BETTER THAN THIS THING! AT&T needs to update this stupid thing cuz im sooooo sick of it! AND IT STRATCHES SOOOO EASILY!!!!

  • Do you have to get internet????,

  • you dont no how to use cell phones

  • can u save pictures from picture messaging? like when i recieve a picture? please let me know, thank u!

  • this phone sucks. i have been through 4 of the same already. i wont send half of my messages. i cant send half of my messages. i cant answer and end the call on the ouside. it scratches really easily. its slow!!!! sometimes the screen on the outside doesnt turn on it restarts its self in the middle of random things!! it sucks..

  • Ty very much! I was wonderng if it waz a good phone. I am a teenagr and wanting a new phone, i lost my old one. I think that people can getover the fact tht it haz no signture! Ty for your oinion i just wanted to know if it waz a good texting/clling.pictures thank you 4yourhelpppppp:)

  • I HATE This phone . it is SO stupid . it Frezzes up all the time. Then just turns off , then the charger just stopped working & know it won even turn on when the chargers in it ! at first this phone seems like best but it is NOT . I DO NOT RECCOMEND THIS PHONE TO ANybody BUT THE TRASHCAN

  • I really want a new phone for my birthday that's coming up soon cuz I have the old samsung flight and I dint really like it that much,,,,,, i have heard about the pantech impact and it looks like a cool phone! I really could use some advice so i can tell my parents that I want a pantech impact 4 m birthday&­;#57606;

  • what's up with the whole back thing it comes off and wont stay... urggh shouldve went with i-phone :( ..i hate this phone

  • if ur trying to do something fast sometimes it will turn off. The back cover sucks had to go to store so they would put it on. You have open phone to hang up call. but overall good phone if u like to text. Im buyng a cover and clear plastic for the front to protect it from scratching.

  • sure this phone isnt soooo popular but i stilll lovee it!! this fone is really simple. i dont have many problems, oly that when i 1st got it, the back doesnt fit!!!! but i just printed a small pic from the internet, and taped in on. now my pantech impact is hecka cute!!!! it doesnt randomly call ppl, vibrate, or anything!!!! my lil sis dropped my fone in the bath while it wuz FULL and it still works awesomely!!!! it can do sooooooo much!! i have internet so i go on gooogle and click "images". then i look up pics. then click on it and then full size. scroll down and click OPEN button. booom! that pic is saved under pics in my stuff!!!i also decorate it w other stuff like ppr cut outs and nail polish dots!!!! try using this stuf! also if u luv txting its super ez bcuz the keys r big! BTW, if u buy apps on it (they r cheap) u can hav stuff lyk signature, games, music, flash camera, more clock designs!!! so i totally recomend this phone!!!!!!

  • i got this phone yesterday and so far enjoy it so far... don't really care for signature which u can't have on this phone, and everything else is fine :)

  • nice

  • Getting the Pantech phones model p7000 was a big mistake for my spouse and I. We live in the country and service isn't good,granted but I could text my children and esp. receive them and the grandkids pictures. Our health isn't good and we have my 85 yr old mom-in-law 24/7 to care for. I have talked to people AT&T and written to Pantech. I am glad to see we are not the only unhappy Pantech owners.

  • omg so true the pantech impact if u are a kid/teen with a phone and u want a signaiture do not get the pantech impact i have it i can get a new phone soon :) YES!?!?!?!?! do some recearch b4 u get a new phone

  • it needs to be able to have a texting signature... when i foud out you couldnt have one it was the biggest let down ever

  • your right these people are idiots!!!

  • I swear the only way to get the back off is to drop it on something hard...

  • how do you delete reciepients from your messaging list

  • I like it but what kinda phone doesnt have a signature! Expecially it kinda looks like a teen phone and thats what teens want. They wanna put there boyfriends name saying they luv them and stuff. But other than that its really great. Rating: 8/10

  • I loveeeeee my impact(: sure it has some issues but all phones do. its really fast, gets great signal, has awesome messaging settings & can send & receive multiple messages & media messages really well, its pink :D or blue lol, it has an amazing camera, and i love it(:

  • myy phone wont turn on and i know by opening is the only way to turn it on but ive tried that taking out the battery and plugging it into the charger and nothing has worked.. i really need my phone to turn on so if anyone can please suggest what i should do if this has ever happened to anyone of you..THANKK YOU!

  • no it doesnt have signature and i am really mad so yeah it is ok though so yeah.

  • umm who ever said this phone stinks is stupid cuz he/she dosent know what there talking about. Hello theres a end key on the front of the phone. And with all At&t phones u can never delete the at&t contacts anyway so way would it matter...And u are probaly gonna dis this anyway but im just defending my babbyyy

  • This phone sucks. I had this phone for about 5 months here is all the bad things about is.... 1. there is no signature 2. i cant post pictures to facebook it will only say "message fail will retry later" and it doesnt 3. there is no flash What kind of phone doesnt have a flash 4. it freezez up when reciving more than 1 message 5. when ending a call you have to open the phone up and end it 6. there is not that many things on the menu 7. the back cover falls easily off 8. it gets scrached really fast 9. you cant delete the at&t contacts 10. its really gay Rating ★★★/5

  • I love this phone I have one I don't know what some people are talking about the phone saying it does this and its terrible. I know someone who works for AT&T and I never ever complained to him about my phone. It is the best phone I ever had. I also know that this is a great phone for a child that is getting their first phone. I really recommend this phone!!!!

  • how do you change/take off your signature on the pantech crux

  • Ahh, I have the same problem! I got upset one day and threw my phone. And the back fell off. So I bought a clear phone case for it. And only used the back part of the phone case and I never worry about it now(:

  • Okay, Well I have this phone. (: But Ive looked ALL OVER. Too see if it had a signature. But.. No luck. Sorry. Ive heard from someone that you can use a template, and it counts as a part of a text. But that was really dumb because it dont work like that.

  • can you have a signature on the pantech impact?!

  • Ive had thod phone for a while. ive dropped it alot. its really scratched but it works. EXCEPT... it freezes all the time and its aggravating.

  • okayy so this phone is amazing :]

  • this phone is amazing i totally recomend it but theres no sig. wich kinda....well rely suck but other than that i love it the keys r like rely big and i txt like rely fast and u can save multimedia messages and stuff so i rely rely rely rely love it buy it its rely worth it PS(excuse my spelling xD)

  • the only thing i dont like about this phone is that i cant get the back of the phone back on!! please help!!!!

  • i love itttt . its amazing!

  • This is the 3rd of this phone that I have had. I absolutly hate it, but AT&T won't let me have a different one. All 3 of them have had the same problem so I really don't think it is just a "defect". They randomly call people. It can be laying on the table and no one around it and it will just pick someone out of my address book and call them. Half the time I will have full service and my messages won't send and while calling someone, it won't ring...and thats if it even lets me make a call. It will tell me I have a text message but not show me one. The worst part is the touch screen on the outside. It doesn't let you hang up a call. When you hit the 7 key the 9 is dialed. No I do not have big fingers. There are many other problems but I don't feel like being here all night telling them. I never had any problems with my centennial phones. Now that AT&T has taken over, it is horrible!! I won't be renewing my contract. You think they would want happy customers. Im not to picky, I just want a phone that works. They won't give me one. Anyway, I do not recommend this phone!!

  • not the best fone ever but wen u guys say it vibrates ferr no reason u guys prolly just accedentally hit that one button on the side of the fone were u can change it to vibrate to ringing to silent. but i also hav thee prob were it freezes and thenn shuts off randomly.(;

  • you can save picture messages ive done it

  • go to the sos call thing press call and then stop calling ( cuz its not actually an emergency) and then it should work after you turn it off and then on. the same thing happened to mine and this made it all better!

  • I luv this phone but the thing is that it has no sig.. And be carefull caz i dropped mine in the toilet and still dosnt work:( i only had it for a month and i wanted this phone for years and i put it in rice for 2 weeks and still not working only the touch screen part wish it did please if this happened to u please right how u fixed it!!!!??????:)

  • i like my phone how it has the full keyboard but i dislike how you can NOT have a signature

  • I love my Pantech Impact, its pink. I've dropped it so many times! It still works, surprisingly after all the times I've dropped it. But because of the "brain damage", it like, randomly turns off when I'm texting! Its so annoying! Also, the battery doesnt last as long anymore. Another thing I hate about it is that it doesn't let me have a signature on my text messages. SO ANNOYING! Do at&t phones even let you have sigs? Anyway, I like the phone, but it tends to lose service A LOT and not send my messages. Its a good phone, at&t is just a crappy network.

  • I've had my impact for about a half a year i dislike that it doesn't have a signature but then i always seem to get phones like that. But it does let u multitask such as reading and replying to text messages while you're on the done and you can save pictures from multimedia messages as well as other files that are sent. But the phone is great. Battery life is excellent n I text and talk all day. But it does scratch very easily and the blue plastic rim around my front screen came off but I was careless & irresponsible. Anyways great phone :)

  • i had this phone for about half a year. and all i have to say is it is great! there are some cons though. its very easy to use. but sometimes im calling a person and it doesnt ring. or when im trying to hang up it wont let me press the button on the front. i have to open it and the press the off key. which gets annoying sometimes but not often. The keys are huge and so easy to type on it. i had the LG Xenon before and i didnt like it so the Pantech Impact is a great step up. its a great way to spend your money. but it scratches EXTREMELY easily! it doesnt freeze at all. when 2 of my friends send a text at the same time is delays the text by like 5 minutes.there are no more cons about this phone. i totally recommend this phone

  • yes you can you have to use facebook's mobile email and send it as a multimedia message.

  • Guys, I'm not sure what your talking about, I have had this phone for like 3 months and its still in perfect condition. I don't like that you can't save picture messages but I don't care. My phone has NEVER vibrated randomly. Seriously I would recommend this phone for people who like to text. :)

  • exactly! all my friends have a signature on theirs and i want one so badly. You cant read your texts while your on the phone. My back use to fall off all the time, that was because the back wasn't fit to it, so i went to the store and bought a new one. Also, yes my phone vibrates for no reason what so ever!

  • there is no signature?

  • You can't. You also can't upload pictures to facebook.

  • How do you put a signature on the Pantech Impact?

  • How do I put a signture?

  • :) I Love This Phooonnnneee!

  • like , i have the phone and i've had it for about a month now . i LIKE the phone , but when i'm on the phone for too long , it shuts off . same thing when i get too many texts at once . sometimes the front doesn't work , & it's annoying . & also - the back falls off WAAAAAAY to much . don't get this phone .

  • like , i have the phone and i've had it for about a month now . i LIKE the phone , but when i'm on the phone for too long , it shuts off . same thing when i get too many texts at once . sometimes the front doesn't work , & it's annoying . & also - the back falls off WAAAAAAY to much . don't get this phone .

  • how do i save pictures from the internet like say for instance i go to facebook and want to save and image how do i do that?

  • Nope. Save is not an option under "options" just delete, forward, delete all. nothing else. grrrr

  • Haha. that was funny "You're probably like 80 years old" ahh funny. I think it's a nice phone. but my god if you're gonna buy a 200 dollar phone i wouldn't be complaining that theres no freaking signiature; type in your name at the bottom, there is a full keyboard for that ;)

  • I hate it because it doesnt have a signature tooooo

  • u have to have messaginf to send pics and u cant block internet or it wont send. But it is free if u buy unlimited txting. and to send pics u take the pic and then press opions then press send then press multimedia and then u press the person u want to send it to and it sends

  • u dont have to be on the internet to take a pic it is awesome u guys r probally like 80 years old and dont kow how to use a fone there is not siganture tho but u dont have to unlock it u have to set it to any touch. it is easy to use if your young

  • this phone is great if you know how to use it (lyk all) but the only bad thing is that it only transfers things from the outside to the inside nd not the other way around...for example if you start txting while its open you cant close it nd finish but it can do the opposite...

  • the back comes off way to easily and theres no siganture :[ total rating 7.5

  • There is no signature which i hate, it drops calls, to end a call you have to unlock it befor you anser, to get a picture you have to have the internet, it sometimes vibrates for no reason, but i love the disign if only the front was a full color touch screen

  • This phone is so big and it's getting annoying to open up the phone to get to use it. Trust me you'll like it now but soon you'll not like it any more.

  • you have to have internet to send/receive pictures on your phone.

  • my phone did that it mine was cuz they got internet blocked from my phone and it useses the nternet to send pic.

  • HELP!!! I just got this phone and it wnt let me send pictures to my facebook or anything. Everytime i try and send it, its says "message failed to send..will try again later." I cant recieve pictures either!! Does anyone know how i can send pictures?!

  • you have to open up to the keyboard to use it.

  • okei you know when you have a txt and some phone have a little lite that blinks that lets you know you have a txt?..like the blackberry..does this phone have that?

  • i just wish it had a signature thng 2 it :(

  • okay, what you do is open the phone so you see the key pad, then thers a botton to your far right and you press it!

  • you can save the number from a text just click on there message and then options save then u can save it from there

  • yesterday it wouldnt let me send any messages even though i had perfect signal and it wouldnt let me even open the message box witch really got me mad so then i had to wait for a half an hour than turn it back on. the messaging on the phone confuses me but i like the overall look of the phone

  • so i just got this fone and it is awsome just cant figure out the camera

  • i lost the back to mine also did you find anywhere to get another one yet

  • I got this phone last october. i loved it then. but then the back started coming of alot. i called pantech and they said they would call me back but they didnt. i have spoke to many people at pantech and none of them called me back. when i would be on a call and want to hang up i would have to open the phone up to end the call. when i get a txt message sometimes it will randomly freeze. it will vibrate and i wont get anything and then it will vibrate again and i will get something. i am very annoyed with this phone

  • you cant get it to stop freezing the only way to do that is to trade it out

  • But how do u get it everytime?

  • My phone keeps freezing anyone else incounter this? If so how did you get it to stop? thanks

  • couple a things, 1. no there is no actual signature setting. 2. to hang up using the touch screen u have to unlock it b4 the call is made/answered. 3. the flimsy cases it comes with really arent all that reliable, they just keep the face scratch free. you can get a reliable case from wally world for pretty cheap tho. im not sure if there r any specifically for the impact but i managed to find one that fits it pretty well. all in all, its a good phone, u just gotta kno how to use it. i give it a 7.5/10

  • then how do you get it on your messages everytime?

  • Pantech Signature setup, go to menu, messages,templates, hit options, select add new, get a blank message page, insert what you want signature to be, go to options hit save.

  • i got my phone a few days ago and so fair i love it it works really great and has good pics on it it has a nice keybored and nice viewing on it. i get survice just about anywere with phone unlike my last phone. so fair its a good phone so im going to ut it to its max lol im good at that

  • i got this phone on the past crismas and its already broken the thing tha fips up to charge it broke off th think the flips open o the bottom broke off a piece from the bach of the phone fell off and nowthe back will not stay on so i have duck tape on the back of the phone it freezes alot itwill turn off randomly and it takes a wile to boot up when u r t rying to call someone it takes about a minuit tocall if u r tryin to hang up ha phone u got to open it up so end a call THIS PHONE IS HORRIBLE

  • i defenatly love the phone but i dont know how to get a signatyre on it all my friends can have one but not me i dont know w how and im getting jealous :(

  • I Hate this phone. First I dropped it on the sidewalk a month ago and the front screen stopped working. Then a couple minutes ago I tried reading a text and it was frozen so I turned it off and tried turning it back on again and the inside screen would do the loading bar thingy then turn black.

  • I absolutley L-O-V-E this phone!!!! is off the chain!!! once my contract ends im defenitly gettng this 1!!!! no doubt!!

  • You can't add a signature to a Pantech impact.

  • This phone is uhhmazing! i love the keyboard on the front and it looks unique to all of the other ones. I love this phone(: good job Pantech!!

  • I got this phone about a month ago, & a abs. love it. It is perfect for texting, just there are a few things this phone dosent have that i wish it did, like using the camera when it is closed, or when someone texts you, you can save their number, you must write the number down, then go into you contacts & put it in from there. I got this phone a month ago, & the second week i took this phone back because when i would open it, the screen would sometimes stay black, and sometimes some of teh screen would stay black. So i got a new one, now this phone when i open it, sometimes it stays black & i have to press a button to make it light up. Also when im on the phone & go to hang up, sometimes the touch screen doesnt work & i have to open the phone to hang up. So im sending it back go get my 3rd phone in about a month - 2 months of having bought the first phone. Another great thing about it is that your texting is in conversation view

  • Well this phone was pretty awsome the first month I had it. Now it restarts and turns off and on. It bugs me. How do you even make a signature?

  • Where the heck is the number 0 to use when sending messages? Also cant figure out how to use camera with lid closed

  • How the heck do you make a signature out of a template?? it says you can, but i cant find out how

  • the first day i got this phone i was like OMG this fone is super and then i start playing it up until this day it is super super super awesome and guess wat i love love loved this phone like crazy get this phone it is the baddest phone ever and i hope you watch icarly.

  • this phone is the best phone ever but guest wat if u dont know how to use it pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase dont buy it. buy a phone that u can use better than a pantech pleeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaase.

  • well let me tell you something this phone is the best of phones i've ever seen and you cant you convince me and tell me that it is a piece of crap and guess wat you dont know how to use it ok.

  • and the new pantech sirius a600 con android????????

  • I've had this phone for a while and I really like it. All my phones have been pantech. The only thing that makes me sad is not having a signiture. On al scale of 1-10 it would be and 8. The touch screen sometimes messes up

  • this phone is the biggest piece of crap the touch scren will not let you hang up most the time and to many buttons do the samething and you wind up exiting or sending the phone cant handle an impact one miner hit and it doesnt work the front screen

  • I lost the back to my phone... HELPPP!!! I cant find a replacement back anywhere.

  • wait when you add a template and you go to the message how do you add it? i clicked insert but i dont see insert template

  • I know! I have the same problem. It's really annoying. -.- i tapped mine, looks tacky. but it's the only way it would stay on.

  • i have this phone and i love love loved it up until today my keyboard stopped working and now i feel like crying!!!!

  • you get a signature in templates. u go to templates then hit add new then when ur going to text someone, you hit inswet template then hit on hhaha

  • omg! how do u make vidios where ppl dissaprer?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

  • hi how do you do it in templates, ive had this fone for 5 months and i cant figure it out lol

  • this phone is awsome i just got it today and i love it ive been txting and messing around on it since i picked it up so coolo good work pantech!!!

  • I overall like this phone. The touch-screen keypad on the front is very interesting. And the hold button helps alot with the touch-screen. One thing i dont like though is not having a way to have a signature. I use to be able to just reply through the conversation,now i have to reply to it in full text message form, and insert a template. I still send messages like i would in conversation just as fast, it's just annoying having to insert a template everytime after you type your message.

  • I've had this phone for about 2 months.. But, had to send have anew one sent because the internal screen & keyboard just stopped working. But, hopefully this time it wont. I love this phone, good battery.. good size. I loveeee ittt. :)

  • hi, i had this fone for like 3 months and its really awsome. but the thing i dnt like is that it doesn't let you put your signature. you have to do it thru templates and that could take long. but in a scale 1-10 it would be a 9 for me =)

  • i had this fone for about 5 days and i love it. the only thing i dnt like about it is it doesnt let u have a signature but u can have one thru a template which might take long to sent ur message but for the most part this fone ROX!!!!!

  • okay ive onl had this phone for 2 days and this is what i no: the bak is hard 2 put on and the only way to have a signature is thru a template which is very hard and confusing. but i luvvvv the full keyboard AND the touch screen part!! also you can make videos where it looks like ppl disappear! ha!

  • I had the Pantech Duo, and i never used the qwerty. So i traded with a friend to the LG Shine, then LG Arena, and none of then sute me. I was told that my next phone i have to stick with so i'm thinking about the Pantech Impact. Is it a good phone? -Tara:)

  • where can u get a new bak??

  • OMG!!!!! i love the pantech impact. i have a blue on e and it really works really well. i have had no problems with it and pray to God not to have any.its so cool. all my friends like it too and wish they had one. the camera works good too. wonderful touchscreen. the only problem is that when you use the internet it raises your phone bill up. other than that its really awesome. i would prefer it to anyone. but alot of people say its hard to work the touchscreen but i say its easy. im 12 years old. so if a 12 year old can use anyone can. bye bye!!!!(: O yeah sorry that this paragraph was so long.(:

  • ihave been having trouble. my phone like always turns off in the middle of something.

  • I have the same problem with mine it droppes all my calls sometimes it delays my texts messages and I have replaced the back of my phone twice and ive only have it for 3 weeks I would not recommend this phone to anyone it gives you nothing but problems

  • And pantech c600 ... c570 .... c320 ... c180 ????

  • That is the same problem i am having. I lost the back, now I am having problems finding another one.

  • I like this phone, but it drop calls very bad. Also I lost the bck to the phone, every where i have went do not have this phone accessories in stock. This is the only drawback.

  • same here i cant get it to stay on! did u get yours to stay anyway?

  • this phone is very unique. I don't have it yet but the pictures and features are very awesome and because of what i see i surly know that i'm gonna by one :)

  • i love this phone but the only thing i dont like is how i cant have a signature. otherwise i say people should get this phone.

  • ur sure u cant have signature

  • this phone is great i just got it sunday,&&_ilove it but the battery kind of dies fast, but it'll last thru the day. i love it. && if you want a signature you have to make a template then from there so on. i would say get it(:

  • good call mate

  • Fellow phone junkies, I forgot to mention that the numbers on the internal keypad on this phone needs to be relocated. No company should ever place the number keys as close to the FUNCTION KEY as was done on this phone. It's just not functional. The number keys need to be moved as far to the right as possible. Always on the look-out... VIP

  • Fellow phone junkies, I've been watching the quality of phones this company has been putting out for the public. I must say that the IMPACT, MATRIX PRO, MATRIX and the DUO are the top four designs this company makes. Screen resolution, memory, camera, WINDOWS MOBILE, and PHYSICAL PHONE DESIGN(very strong quality for Pantech) will be the key to the success for these phones. I must say that the IMPACT is a great addition to the Pantech phone line. This phone is a excellent step forward. Always on the look-out... VIP

  • Im fixin to buy this phone i think it looks nice but before i buy it i need to know if it a good phone to buy plz send some asap .

  • No, the option T9 on the external screen is impossible. it's a downside to people. No, you cannot have a signature on this phone.

  • i had the pantech dou and it broke with in the 1st month of having it soo.. yea

  • umm how do u get 2 the signiture settig?

  • I just got this phone for Christmas. The back that coveres the battery won't stay on. Its thin plastic & wont snap on like it should.

  • about to buy this phone. pantec has more balls than sony ericsson lately which i have previously had about 5 of there phones and love but seems they can't release new phones for the holidays like all the other companies or is this att's doing??

  • This company has put out two awesome phone on this website back to back. Keep up the good work Pantech. VIP

  • it does have a camera tht works really well(;

  • it does have a camera tht works really well(;

  • It looks good to me =D

  • yes it does have a signature setting?

  • This phone looks very interesting...my parents said to look into it before i buy it...but i was wondering if on the messages, can you put a signature? yes or no thanks alot, textingQUEEN

  • yes

  • This phone brings back memory to one of my earlier phone. Motorola a630. Back in the day, five or six years ago no one around me knew how to sms but I did since I had a630. Dear gsmarena, please update all at&t phone, most of you had it at "rumored" when they're already out like this one. Much appreciated.

  • It does have a camera. The camera is 2mp but it has no flash.

  • Oh my God,it has no camera at all!!!
