W376g Love it love it love it

(Oregon)

I got a Motorola W376g and it is my first cell phone unless you count the ancient clunker back in the 1990's. This is wonderful, easy to use and light, feels nice in my pocket. Double minutes for life is great, a big selling point.

I like everything about the phone so far, have had it a week or so and I text and call everyone much more just because I can. Really keeps me in touch with family and I love that. I ruled out phones with contracts, I dislike how those companies offer great deals to their new customers but existing customers are stuck with whatever they signed up for.

Things are getting cheaper and better, don't want to be locked into expensive plans. Tracfone is simple and since I set it up to add minutes directly via credit card, I will never be without minutes when I need them. I'm still learning the subtleties of the phone but it is pretty easy even for an oldie like me who has no gizmo sense. The instruction book was useless but fortunately it was also pretty much unnecessary.

I give this phone very high marks for sound quality, and I have a notable hearing deficit so that was important in my choice of phone.

So far there has been good service everywhere I've been except the mall but mall workers told me that NO phones work there. A dead zone, a void, as I have always thought malls to be.... to be avoided.

Anyway, just my two cents worth, I think this is a great deal, inexpensive, good coverage, good plan, good features, what more could one possibly ask of a phone? Maybe if it did the dishes....
