Customer Reviews
Customer rating is 1 of 5  semi-piece of junk   2010-03-10
By Kenneth Sandberg (Shingletown, CA)
The good news is it wasn't that expensive, the bad news was it didn't work for me. I live in a fringe area, and reception is nay (neigh?)impossible with this product. I guess I will continue to live in the twentieth century for cell phones. (Like not own one.) Even getting the thing activated was a pain as I was out of the area for activation. My advice is this phone may be fine if you live in a city area, but if it's rural, forget it.
Customer rating is 4 of 5  Great basic phone!   2010-02-20
By R. Booker (Minneapolis, MN United States)
I was looking for a basic, no extra frills phone for a good price and the Renew fit the bill.
Customer rating is 2 of 5  poor battery life and reception   2009-12-06
By frootbroot
Not getting anywhere near 18days of standby time, maybe only 3days? Also, poor reception compared to other phones I've used. Only reason for a two star review is that the phone is cheap...
Customer rating is 1 of 5  Malfunctions all the time   2009-11-22
By Liv
From my experience over the last 4 four months this phone has not been reliable. If it is low on battery it the sound will often just stop working - meaning I can call someone, and they can hear me but I cannot hear them. This can happen mid call as well.

It frequently drops calls even when fully charged. I will dial with the phone displaying four reception bars, I'll remain in exactly the same place and still, about two minutes into a phone call, I will stop being able to hear the person at the other end, then it will take a few seconds for the phone to actually end the call and display "Call Ended," then the phone will display no bars. However, when I try to redial, from exactly the same spot, it will successfully connect and the whole process will start over again. It is very frustrating and unprofessional.

It also seems to take an abnormally long time to load contacts/receive service signal upon being turned on.

Pro: Very affordable.

By Favored1 (Toledo, Ohio United States)
For the first time I am disappointed with Motorola because this phone is just no good and that's the bottom line. Disregard all the eco-friendly hype this phone is absolute trash and I mean that literally. The materials and make of the phone is extremely and horrendously cheap, I am shocked that Motorola has compromised it's standards with such a terribly designed phone made from such cheap materials I know it's recycled but gosh this is ridiculous. I couldn't even get the back to close properly and on several occasions when I turned it off it refused to come on when I tried to turn it back on even though it was fully charged. It actually died I couldn't even get it to charge it was just dead nothing was working I tried everything and I need not mention I just had it for one month and I rarely use it; just a couple times a week so it was not because I threw it around.

I have owned two Motorola phones the RZR and I still own the Slide phone both of which I really liked. That is the only reason why I chose a Motorola designed phone for my pre-paid account. This whole pre-paid phone thing is just a waste of money I have discovered that my SIM card worked just as well in another T Mobile phone that I had a regular month to month plan with as it does with the so called "pre-paid" phone. So don't waste your money just try out the SIM card with your regular T Mobile phone and you just may get to use it for your pre-paid account instead of wasting money on a trashy "pre-paid" phone. This is so ridiculous, now I can't even return it because its over a month.

Take my advice save your $29.99 I wouldn't even pay $5.00 for this fancy green piece of trash if I had to do it all over again. It's simply a waste of money.
