Nokia 5125 (TracFone)

I had this phone and used it with not too many problems. Then I would be using it and it would just shut off. Also, I would be using it in a spot where I always had service, and now I have no service. I email TracFone, there response everytime is exactly the same. Always telling me that there must be a large body of water, a mountain, trees....Don't think any of that just happened. It got to the point I couldn't use it at all. Try calling them, you get somebody you can't even understand because of their accent. Terrible customer service!! I asked that the letters be passed onto somebody in charge, nothing. I was stranded more than once and I could not call for help...no service.
I gave it to my daughter as I inherited a Virgin Mobile phone. Now she has the exact same problems.
Save yourself the grief from the start. Do not deal with them. If you ever have to deal with their customer service department, you will know what I mean. I'm not sure they know what that word means.
PS...no problems with the Virgin Mobile phone....

THIS CELL PHONE GAVE ME GOOD SERVICE HAD NO PROBLEM WITH SERVICE ALWAYS HAD SERVCICE NO MATTER WHERE I WENT. THE ONLY THING I FOUND WR0NG WITH THE PHONE THE RINGER WAS NOT VERY LOUD, SINCE I HAVE BAD HEARING I COULD NOT HEAR THE PHONE RING BUT I COULD FEEL IT VIBIRATE WHEN IT RANG.
FOR AN EMERGENCY PHONE IT DID VERY WELL.

The actual TracFone phone is just so-so; but the service that the company provides is absolutely HORRIBLE!! I can honestly say that of all the companies I have ever dealt with - and I have dealt with many - these people are by far the worst I have ever seen in what they refer to as "customer service". To think you can get by without using their customer service is foolish - it can't be done - and once you have to use them - you will want to see your Dr. immediately to check your blood pressure. It is unbelievable that a major company of this size and charging the rates they do - can continue in business with the customer service they have!

Easy to use, easy to load minutes, with bonus minutes for initial activation via internet. Inexpensive start up, no monthly bills.

I have been in recent contact with TracFone and they tell me that they have no plans to discontinue support of this phone. I will keep it on the top 1 year service plan until notified differently. I like that it is big enough to be easily found in my purse. I call it my big black monster. I have tried the newer, smaller even the flip top models and always end up going back to the BBM. The only problem I had was finding a case large enough to hold it. Finally found one for at a $1 Store.

Tracfone no longer supports this model. I had to upgrade to a model that uses a SIM card. This was a good phone while it worked and wonderful battery life. It is a shame they quit supporting it.

Not a bad phone. Before you activate though, tracfone is offering free 100 minutes sign up a friend for both of us, so send an email to doug@webdoug.com

I wanted to purchase this type of phone as a backup in case of loss or damage to my regular phone, and to loan out to family and friends as needed. I had previously (years ago) bought this type of phone new and liked it. This particular phone did not work as the abay auction stated it would, so it had to be returned to the seller for a refund.
