Samsung U340 Cell Phone (Verizon)

Good phone for those of us who like our cheap "grandfathered" cell plan. I had available a smart phone to use after my old "dumb" phone died, but I would have had to upgrade to a much more expensive plan than the one I've been hanging onto for many years now. This phone has good battery life and is clear when you talk on it. It has a camera, but it's a pretty lousy one.

This was supposed to be an upgrade from my original pre-pay phone (has a camera which I wanted), but it sucks. There are fewer options and the camera takes pics you can't use, because of the low quality.I think Verizon would love to get rid of it's pre-pay program and hence the crappy products and options. They are going to lose me as a customer and many others. If you offer a service, make it quality; otherwise you're just wasting time and frustrating customers. I'll switch brands when I get a new phone.This one is the WORST cell phone I've ever owned unless all you want is calls...and even then, the rates are crazy (all pre-pay services I've found are way high).

Phone arrived in a timely manner. Works great. Slight water damage to battery. Even with that I am happy with the phone.

There was half an hour or more getting this on my line because wear and tear removed the numbers. The battery wouldn't charge. I FINALLY got it connected with the patience and expertise of the Verizon clerk and I bought a new battery. With the new battery it works better. It would be nice if sellers of older phones would spend the $5 to get a new battery before they sell the old phone. They might even get a few dollars more for the phone if they added "brand new battery" to the ad because we would know we didn't have to buy one.

If you are a frequent 'texter' this phone is NOT for youSometimes the phone has poor reception and sometimes it receives texts on a time delay (I got 40 texts one morning that spanned from 7 previous days of not receiving the texts).The phone has trouble dealing with texts from smart phones - such as group texts or picture textssometimes I had voicemails but no missed callsThis is my american phone since i live elsewhere and its good for the basics, after a while i told me to call instead of texting me and the phone was much happier. Its just an old phone.

I inherited a Blackberry curve from my sisters ex's cousin, I'm with verizon, I couldn't afford that xtra $30 data plan which I only used 75 mb's a month anyway, so I bought this inexpensive, I think it was like $14.95, so I reported my blackberry as lost or stolen, and switched that phone number to this phone, a little advice if you have a data plan smartphone you can no longer afford, cut spending! Switch and go back to the basics, just a plain phone! So if you're in a data plan and don't think you can find a way out do xactly as I did,call your provider, "verizon, sprint, t-mobile" Whatever..... Report the phone with the data plan you can no longer afford "Lost or Stolen" and this is what gets me........ Ya know, I for the life of me can't understand why someone would need or want a 2 inched "HAVE TO HOLD IN THE AIR 2 HOURS IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE OVERPRICED PHONE TO WATCH A DAMN NETFLIX MOVIE" The damn people in the movie are the friggin' size of my finger nail for gosh sakes!!! The technology they have today is xactly what that commercial says "PEOPLE USE "SMARTPHONES" TO DO "DUMB" THINGS". Ridiculous......... As for how the samsung u340 works, absolutely "NO" trouble, no dropped calls.~Stoney420

I needed a new phone and had owned this exact model in the past and it was a very sturdy phone. It was just a cheap place holder for the time being, so I didn't need anything special. When I received the phone, it had about 75% battery, yet all night in the charger and it dropped to 50%. Seeing as how it had a descent charge when I got it, I knew it could hold one, yet the aftermarket adapter they sent with it was defective. What I can see from this is they don't check to make sure that ALL contents are in, at a minimum, descent working order.

Works great - excellent phone for the money! I bought 2 - one as a spare and one for a friend. She absolutely loves it.
