mbilitatu, 15 Oct 2007Has ANYONE successfully used SMS messaging with the V191? ... moreYeah i like the phone's durability that's for sure. It survived a month in 4 feet of snow and the melt completely unscathed but can't recieve text messages and it's only good for calls. It kinda stinks technology wise.

    I bought this for $100 in J&Rs NYC spring/2009, because it was the only quadband in stock. It is the most utterly basic phone, which is what I wanted. Unfortunately, the brain-dead idiots who made it cannot cleanly implement even the utterly basic spec that it has. It stinks. The motorola phone that I bought in 1996 had a better operator interface. What is difficult about call, hangup, number-find etc.? Anyway time to embrace complexity and buy an android.

          My father has that phone. He has used IT since 06 and it supported these few accidents:
          Being dropped from his pocket
          Stayed in the car at 12:00 am in Summer!!! (i am in Central America so the weather is hot)
          Dropped from the stairs
          IT IS A SUPER PHONE!!!
          and it supports very nice Java Games
          And he says: A phone its only to call and recieve calls!
          DO NOT depend on technology

            - conector de fone de ouvido do tipo P1 (2.5");
            [ P1 (2.5") headset jack]

            - sistema P2K, permitindo assim alterações por programas como o P2K Tools;
            [support programs like P2k Tools, so you can change many things on phone]

            -suporte a todas as operadoras GSM por ser Quad Band, entretanto, tem erros ao usar a rede 850MHz em algumas versões do formware!
            [some users had been face off issue on the 850MHz band, so, I can't garantee the phone will work on all bads correctly]

                      I have had this phone since it came out in 2006. It is the best basic phone you can ask for. one charge last a week, so i need to charge it only on the weekends. SMS is easy and call quality is very good. small and light and fits easy in your pocket. The best thing is the price as it is dirt cheap.

                                  Has ANYONE successfully used SMS messaging with the V191?

                                  The manual describes how to do it, but on my phone, the menu option is not available. I have seen other reviews complain about text messaging not working. But, does it ever work? Does anyone have a V191 with working text messaging?

                                  I love the phone, but text messaging would be very useful.

                                  Thanks.

                                      Anyone have a clue on how to change character sets? I bought one in Taiwan,, and they changed the character set to English, but when I try to add keystrokes, it uses chinese.
