Motorola I530 (Sprint Nextel)

THIS IS A GREAT PHONE FOR THE PRICE VERY RUGGED TAKES A LICKING AND KEEPS ON TICKING LOVE THIS PHONE.

Phone will not work with Sprint service. According to Sprint-not all Nextel phones will work with Sprint service-very few will. If you have Sprint service check with Sprint to make sure if the phone you want will transfer. As I was told, Sprint and Nextel merged but the old phones do not transefer.

Quick, Packaged well and as I expected .......................................................................................................................................

I bought the Phone three weeks ago and was immediately imPRESSED. The NewPhone's size is perfect for carrying in a pocket and the battery has a pretty good lifespan of roughly 4 hours. Overall, I'd recommend the phone if you're on a budget.

does what it's made for. communication device. It was in good shape with all the extra's. I fyou pay for each item at a retail store, the value would exceed 100.00. great deal!

These phones are currently the most available, durable, and highest value replacement phones for the nextel network. They have all of the important features (600 number phone book is my favorite), and most importantly can take a severe beating. I am a contractor, and it is not a question of if i will have to replace phones, but how often. It is only a matter of switching out the sim card, and the phone is ready to go (however Nextel would probably like you to call and do what they call a "sim swap" so they can match up the serial # on the phone). I buy these phones often, keep a spare or two around for emergencies, and would without hesitation recommend this phone for anyone not concerned with the following:
-This unit is not very stylish (thick and plain compared to newer "slim" phones.
-does not have a camera.
-does not have a "color" screen (black text with a backlit green screen.
-does not run java application like many other nextel phones (no games).

The i530 is all about work, and is as durable as anything else I've seen at any price.

The Motorola i530 is a very rugged, practical and effective communications tool. Over about three years of use I must have dropped my phone 50 times but it is still working great. The rubberized case is getting a little scratched up now but all the features are still working. It has a speakerphone and instant walkie-talkie nationwide (from Nextel). This phone does not have all the bells and whistles of some new phones but is rugged and dependable. It has a loud ringer, vibratone and a lot of other features. It meets tough military specifications too. I would buy another one if this one ever dies.

The seller was perfectly clear on the product, very helpfull, I recieved the phone fast and it works fine. I would buy again from this seller.

MY WIFE LOST HER PHONE HELPING SOMEONE GET OUT OF THE SNOW AND THIS ONE HAD ALL THE ACCESSORIES. THE ONLY THING WE HAD TO DO WAS BUY A NEW SIM CARD AND BATTERY,SO FOR A TOTAL OF $60.00,SHE HAS A FUNCTIONAL PHONE. WE COULDN`T GET A REFURBISHED ONE FOR THAT,SO SHE IS VERY PLEASED WITH IT.

excellent transaction all the way around! i did have a slight problem with the phone i received, but i contacted the seller and he made it right very quickly, i'm sure i will deal with them in the future! very nice and responded very fast to my situation.

I ordered a cell phone which i recived in two days but does not work i send an email three weeks ago today i still have not recived any answer

good deal on a used phone. Prompt, fast, sevice. Over all I would give this transaction an a++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ rating

this is a very good heavy duty phone. i purchase it used and it is still in awsome condition. i am very happy with the phone and would purchase another one like it in the future.

The Motorola i530 is not an ideal phone for a technophile, but it sure is one of the toughest phones ever came out with. This is one of the most basic phones you can have. There is no color screen, no multimedia messaging, no mp3 support, no camera, no wallpapers, no applications, and no games on this phone. All it can do is make and receive phone calls with crystal clear reception, the walkie-talkie feature is a very powerful addition, and all it supports is polyphonic ring tones. My friend ran over my i530 with her car, and it still worked. I dropped in water as well. It still working hard, and took all sorts of abuse. The phone's cosmetics after the accidents is now quite mediocre. Strangely enough, the Motorola i530 reminds me of the old Sony Walkmans.

My aunt purchased this as a Christmas gift for me in 2005. I have since upgraded to different Nextel phones, but the reception is the finest out of all the other phones I tried.

The i530 is a basic, durable flip phone that works on the Nextel network w/the direct connect feature.I decided to replace my i305 with this phone because of the flip feature (covered keypad). One nice feature that I like is speakerphone.It also has an "easy to navigate" menu. Battery stamina could be better,but will last through the day if alot of calls aren't made. I charge mine every night.An outside caller ID would be nice, although it's not that big of a deal w/o it.I've had the phone for over a year & it's been very good overall.

I needed a replacement for my phone and so I decided to buy another phone and cannabalize my phone for the new phone. It only took me several attempts but I think I've got the hang of it.
