| JenN2kids's Full Review: Audiovox CDM4000 |
I bought this phone mainly because I have a not-so-reliable car. The phone cost a lot less than purchasing a new car or even fixing the one I have. The purchase price was $90, which I am paying in installments ($3.74 a month) with my service plan.
This is my fourth mobile phone & by far the best. I'm sure that there are better ones out there, but this fit in my price range & I am very happy with it.
The phone is very compact, so it fits well in a purse, or even in your pocket, if you are so inclined. It has a nice key-locking feature that keeps it from accidentally dialing until you want it to. It comes with a desktop charger with AC adaptor. You can use them together or plug the AC adaptor directly into the side of the phone. There is a key for easy voice mail retrieval. The phone book is extremely easy to use & numbers can be viewed either alphabetically or by location in the directory. There are 15 ringer types, which can also be integrated into the directory. Four are "ring" or "beep" types, 11 are melodies. You can choose a distinctive ring to go along with any of the numbers in your directory. The battery is slim & holds a standby charge for a good bit time, listed as 170 hours, but more realistically is about 72-96 hours. The talk time is approximately 190 minutes. Not bad for a battery that is only about 1/4" thick! The phone is digital and analog, so you can use it basically anywhere. Of course clearer conversations will occur when you are within your digital area. One of my favorite features is the caller ID (and call waiting caller ID), because when you pay for every minute that is used, it is nice to be able to know in advance, so that you can choose to (or not to) answer the phone.
All-in-all a great little phone that I would recommend to nearly everyone.
