Motorola SC3160 Cell Phone

Pros: a lot of useful features
Cons: none that i have found yet....

My husband I decided to get a mobile phone for a few reasons. One was so that he could stay in touch with the base while we were away from home and the second was for safety reasons. Well we went to Radio Shack and decided on the Motorola...

Pros: I paid .01 for it, durable, good mike.
Cons: A bit large

Thanks to AinsleyJo for inviting me to participate in her
write off. This is the first time that I've written for
one so I HOPE that I can make it a good one (I'll sure
try).

I have had my Motorola SC3160 Phone for just...

Pros: Low cost, focus for brand new phone users.
Cons: Both operations and accessories not compatible with other Motorola products. No WAP capabilities.

Motorola must think that it is Halloween in their selling of the SC3160 as the traditional Motorola product that consumers are used to. I, like many others, purchase Motorola products for their reliability, compatibility of accessories, such as...

Pros: Lots of options, clarity
Cons: antennae bends easy

After living through a Nokia nightmare, I felt this phone was heaven sent LOL. There was a special through our carrier, so the phone was practically free, gotta love that even more! Although, the price for the leather case and car charger definitely made...

Pros: Inexpensive
Cons: A bit on the heavy side for frequent users

As a reasonable human being, we'll take anything that comes for free...just about. That's exactly the reason I have my Motorola 3160--It was a penny when I signed up for service.

As a sales person, I have quite a bit of experience with all...

Pros: Offers lots of new features
Cons: hard to program

Just the other day my husband decided to up grade my cell phone to digital. My mobile phone company was offering a special so we went down to the store to take a look at it.

Well we wound up leaving the store with one new Motorola...

Pros: Zip
Cons: Performance, Features, Size, Shape

I had high hopes for this phone. I chose this one because of the Motorola brand reputation. The Star Tac was just way too expensive so I settled on the SC3160 hoping Motorola's quality would follow through. I was wrong. The people at Bell Atlantic told...

Pros: relatively cheap, good volume
Cons: unreliable battery, hard to set up

Several months ago my wife and I wanted to add another phone to our service contract. I went to my regular service provider and was taken in by what seemed like a good deal. Inexpensive service, including a second phone line, and two of these phones for...

Pros: Vibrator, quoted battery life
Cons: Battery life is declining after a month. Poor analog service

I was new to the digital arena. I've had an analog phone for 7+ years and it seemed to do everything I needed. I made a total of maybe $2 a month worth of calls so the free minutes didn't mean that much to me (Why do people have the phone stuck to their...

Pros: Talk time
Cons: reliability, contract fulfillment

Last year my girlfriend and I each decided to buy each other cell phones for Christmas. We went to Circuit City, where each phone was $49.99, and each one had a $60 mail in rebate. So the price was better than free. First, first let me clarify the...

Pros: small, compact, clear calls
Cons: first battery needed replacing

The Motorola SC3160 is my first digital cell phone. I had an analog previously, and when that one disappeared, I was urged to upgrade to digital.
When we purchased the phone in February 2000, it was part of a promotion for free minutes and a...

Pros: Light , easy to use , Flip
Cons: NONE

I have two of these phones. One is my wife's and one is mine. These phones are light, flip style, and easy to use. The cost was low $49.99 plus I had to renew my contract for a year. The phone can be set to ring or vibrate, no special battery needed. It...

Pros: none really
Cons: Zero headset compatibility(so far)

I just read egale's opinion about this phone and I agree wholeheartedly. I have a few things to add though. Since the talk about cell phone radiation hazards has no seemingly 'correct' answer at this point I decided to err on the 'safe' side and purchase...

Pros: Big Screen.
Cons: Heavy, and Fat.

This phone was handed down to me in my family, and I thought it was a pretty cool phone. I especially liked the big, easy to read screen where you can customize what it says. Then, I picked it up and it barely fit in my hand! The battery it comes with...

Pros: long standby time, lots of features, caller ID
Cons: transition between digital and analog is NOT seamless - 90% loss of caller

This phone works well, as long as you are in the area of the digital networks - it prefers digital, but will switch to analog if the digital signal expires. The seamless transition from digital to analog is not so seamless. In my experience, 9 times...
