| love2k1's Full Review: Samsung SCH-T300 Cell Phone |
I had previously used a Nokia 5190 (Fido) for 2 years with no complaints, except that it did not provide me with analog coverage. I was due for a new phone and decided to go with Telus and the T300. The second day after activation, I found that I could not dial out or receive any calls, even though the digital reception indicator was full ! When I used a land phone to call my cell, it would switch directly to my voice mail. When I tried to dial out, the display would continuously flash the words "Dialing" and then I would receive a "Call Failed" or "Call Lost" message. Technical support could not help me.I swapped the phone at a Telus corporate dealership for another T300. It worked fine the first day, then on the second day, more of the same. Now when I tried to dial my phone from a land line, there was a dead line signal or no signal at all (the reception indicator on my cell was full at the time)...it did not EVEN switch to my voice mail. Later when I got home, it worked again. Very frustrating..I do not recommend this phone to anyone.
Keep in mind I did all this testing in areas that had a strong digital signal and in the exact areas where I commonly had used my Nokia, and I never had problems with it.
