This phone features a slim candy bar style design with a large, bright, color display and a VGA camera. Other features include a half duplex speakerphone, MMS, web browser and built-in games. It does not have a data cable connection so all your pictures have to be sent to your email box. This can really eat up your airtime minutes if you use it a lot. The built-in web browser does not freely access the internet. It is restricted to the TracFone allowed website only where you can buy Ringtones and Wallpaper as well as subscribe to their News, Sports and Weather service. All in all it is a great phone to own. It is much more stylish than anything TracFone has ever offered. I am very impressed with the large, clear, color screen. I like my Motorola C261 phone and I am proud to carry it wherever I go. I would recommend this phone to anyone looking to upgrade to a better more stylish TracFone. You will not be disappointed ! Review ID: 10000000003626694 Was this review helpful?

IT TAKES GREAT PICTURES,HAS UP TO 4X ZOOM,AND YOU CAN EMAIL OR TEXT THEM TO ANYONE WITH A CELLPHONE. THE NEW WEB ACCESS FEATURE IS SOMETHING SO NEW...IT IS NOT EVEN LISTED ON TRACFONES WEBSITE. I BOUGHT THIS PHONE AND WAS CHECKING OUT ALL THE OPTIONS WHEN I TRIED THE WEB ACCESS. I WAS SURFING THE NET CHECKED MY AOL MAIL AND THEN CHECKED MAPQUEST FOR DIRECTIONS. IT COMES IN VERY USEFUL! THERE ARE NEW FEATURES LIKE OFFICE TOOLS,A COUPLE GAMES,YOU CAN NOW DOWNLOAD RINGTONES,WALL PAPER,GRAPHICS,AND MORE. AS ALWAYS YOU GET FREE VOICEMAIL THAT YOU CAN ACCESS FROM A HOME TELEPHONE OR PAYPHONE OR YOUR CELL. EVEN IF YOUR OUT OF UNITS THE PHONE IS STILL ACTIVE UNTIL THE DATE SHOWN IN THE PREPAID MENU. YOU GENERALY HAVE ABOUT 4 MONTHS ACTIVATION WITH A CARD OR REFERRAL. TRACFONE ALSO USES ALL OF THE SAME CELL TOWERS AS VERIZON,CINGULAR,T-MOBIL,AND THE REST. SO, YOU ARE NOT STUCK IN ONE AREA YOU CAN USE THEM ALL. I OFTEN FIND I HAVE A BETTER SIGNAL THAN MOST PLAN PHONES. WHEN YOU WORK IN THE MOUNTAINS OR DOWN SOUTH YOU DONT PAY FOR ROAMING EITHER. ONE RATE-MEANS YOU PAY 1 UNIT PER MINUTE LOCAL OR LONG DISTANCE...EVEN TO CANADA. THIS PHONE ALSO HAS A GREAT HANDS FREE FEATURE WITH THE SPEAKER PHONE. THE FIRST OF TRACFONES TO OFFER THIS. HUGE IMPROVEMENT. RETAILS AT THE STORES FOR AROUND $80.00 + TAX. IF YOUR IN COLLEGE,WANT A SAFETY CAR PHONE FOR EMERGENCIES,KIDS,LOVED ONES,ETC... NO HIDDEN DAILY FEES LIKE MOST PREPAIDS. IM MY VIEW IT'S WORTH A TRY. TRACFONE OFFERS A 30 DAY MONEY BACK DEAL SO WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO LOSE?! THANKS FOR READING MY REVIEW, HAVE A GREAT DAY!

But i dislike how the information about the cell phone's providers was false. The phone motorola C261 does not go with either US Cellular or Cingular and it never said that it was a tracfone.

Camera could use a flash for better pictures but adequate. A good buy. Review ID: 10000000002618787 Was this review helpful? Report this review 1 of 8 people found this review helpful. Why you bought it? I wanted it for the pict phone, it takes picts but you can't downloaded them! I wasn't too happy about that. What you like most about it? the look, size and interface, it is a good looking little phone. I can put a pict and a ring tone depending on who's calling, that is neat. The web feature is just a way to get news, weather and other info, you can't really surf the net w/it. Review ID: 10000000003560734 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
