Pantech CDM 8945 (Verizon Wireless)

this is what i needed great back up for my son thanks for being there im not one for words xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxooxoxoxo

AS A SECURITY MEASURE SO NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENED I WOULD BE ABLE TO CALL FOR HELP IF I COULD REACH INTO MY POCKET, I BOUGHT ONE OF THESE FROM COSTCO AND TOOK MY REBATE FROM VERISON.

THEN I DISCOVERED THREE THINGS
1. THE PHONE IS THE "DOCK" TO CHARGE THE BATTERY.
2. YOU HAVE TO HAVE A PHONE TO CHARGE A BATTERY.
3. THE FIRST TIME I NEEDED IT, THE BATTERY WAS DEAD,,, BUT LO, I HAD ALSO BOUGHT THE IN CAR CHARGER AND PLUGGED IT IN THINKING I COULD MAKE MY EMERGENCY CALL............ DID NOT HAPPEN............ YOU CAN'T CALL WHEN CHARGING AND IT TAKES 4 HOURS TO CHARGE A DEAD BATTERY.

EMERGENCY AND WAITING FOUR HOURS ARE USUALLY NOT MENTIONED IN THE SAME SENTENCE UNLESS YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THE NEW NATIONAL HEALTH INSURANCE.

I CHOSE TO BUY A SECOND EXACT MODEL DUPLICATE PHONE TO CHARGE THE BATTERY WHILE USING A CHARGED BATTERY. THIS, NEW TO ME, FROM AN EBAY VENDOR, PHONE ARRIVED IN A FEW DAYS USPS IN BETTER PHYSICAL CONDITION THAN MY "EMERGENCY" PHONE THAT HAD MADE LESS THAN 15 CALLS, AND I GOT A GOOD BATTERY WITH IT AS WELL. MY TOTAL COST TO FIX MY PROBLEM WAS $9.99. THAT'S RIGHT $9.99 SHIPPING INCLUDED.
I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THIS. ANY TIME YOU WANT ANYTHING THAT IS NOT FOUND ON THE SHELVES OF YOUR GROCERY STORE IT USUALLY PAYS TO CHECK EBAY FIRST. IF NOTHING ELSE YOU WILL LEARN THE VALUE OF THINGS WHICH IS WHAT PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO PAY.

KEEP IN MIND THAT IF YOU LIVE IN A PLACE WHERE YOUR MAIL IS DROPPED FROM AN AIRPLANE ONCE A MONTH YOU CANNOT GO TO YOUR STIHL DEALER FOR A NEW CHAIN SAW PART AND YOU WILL BE WILLING TO PAY HIGHER THAN RETAIL TO GET WHAT YOU NEED THINGS THAT ARE USED BY MILLIONS OF PEOPLE,THIS WILL HAPPEN. I WAS REALLY LUCKY WITH THIS PHONE.

good seller item was described perfectly. Shipping was fast. We would buy from them agian. The cell phone was priced very good.

It is a pretty good phone for a really good price. i kind of wanted something a little more hi tech but I cant complain. The only thing I don't really like about it is the capacity of the inbox for text messages. My inbox only holds 70 messages. It just gets kinda irratating always deleteting them. But overall it's a pretty good phone
