Motorola V60

I have had several of these phones on different carriers and everyone of them outlasted my service contract. they are basic and easy to use with no excessive frills. Cheap to use and operate with great TDMA signal strength.

was lead to believe item had a sim card from posting. I had corrected seller with his ad, he thought it had sim card. Tried to return item and get refund. Seller said to keep item and refund money through paypal, but never got money back from paypay. Many emails to tell seller than I never got money, he insisted paypal paid me but after contacting paypal, they paid him. Still never received refund. Wanted to give him negative feedback but item removed from My Ebay.

The phone is very basic, seems easy to use. The charger however is a bit sensitive and you have to make sure it is charging.

I cannot say enough about this seller! Saved my entire business trip. This phone worked amazing overseas and I cant think him enough! Thanks again!!

I AM VERY SATISFIED WITH MY PURCHASE FROM EBAY AND THE SELLER. QUICK DELIVERY AND INTACT AT ARRIVAL THANKS AND I WILL BE BUYING MORE IN THE FUTURE.

I love how the seller shipped product in a timely manner and that the item was as described. Wish all ebayers were like this.

This is an older model but works great. It doesn't have speakerphone which I miss and I don't hear it ring so I've missed a few calls. I think I have the volume turned up all the way but there is no manual with it so there may be a way that I haven't figured out yet.

I think the screen is very user friendly and overall I like the phone. No bells and whistles but a good basic phone.

I bought the phone because I wanted a flip to avoid pushing buttons if I don't lock the buttons every time.

I like the the service with me and what they told me is what I get.
It was a good handset in perfect conditions, clean and perfect working.

A lot of functions are not working well.But am still watching untill i take it abroad next week. I like the phone structure and the cover is not damaged.But the antenna is broken.

The phone was an unlocked phone. But it did not work with my network. The product was everything the seller said. It was also shipped promptly. I would buy again from seller.

strong case, good key layout, good battery life. VERY slow recharge rate, very poor fringe area reception, confusing owner's manual....it actually identifies features that the phone won't perform. A good basic phone, but not a particulary good performer

the only thing i complain bout it is that the seller dont said that the battery of the cell phone dont last too long and i had to buy one by myself but everything else was good !

I bought this phone for a short trip to Europe. It worked well, but since the software is a few years old, there are some obvious limitations. SMS with no text in the body does not send by design, which is kind of a nuisance. The battery was old so I replaced it, and it lasts mch longer than newer phones, I guess because back then batteries were a little larger. Sound quality was good, although no only limited ringtones. For what I needed, a simple phone for GSM SIM cards it worked well.

This phone is a classic. As an unlock phone, it still works very well on the existing at&t service. It's durable, very basic and perfect for a backup phone. I'm sure many of us has bought a higher tech phone with all these features that end up breaking down like my motorola v505. The v60, no matter how long you keep it for, it seems to never break down and is very dependable.

In addition to two of my TDMA versions, I just knew one day soon I'll be asking the V60i to take the helm again - so I purchased an ‘unlocked’ GSM unit from ebay. I removed the SIM from my newer Motorola(s) and popped it in the newly bought V60i and all is well. Since then, I disowned both my Razr V3 and V600 (both unlocked and utilizing T-Mobile's network) and opted for the unlocked Cingular branded V60i phone instead - mainly for its durability and exceptional reception and voice quality.
Ask many cell users (and I'm referring to the many experienced adults) and they’ll testify that the V60i is indeed thee BEST cell phone ever manufactured by Motorola. The unit is very solid and we’re not talking cheap plastics here. It consists of hardened aluminum plates (call it metal if you wish) for the construction of its outer body shell - which can easily be interchanged to suit your taste from a variety of different colors available through the Motorola accessories catalog.
I don’t miss the cameras from my other [newer] phones and hardly use them (if any), besides, I only take pictures with my Leica cameras – or nothing else.
I honestly like the ‘simplicity’ of this phone more than anything else. One of the major plus was the outer LCD screen logging call and mail activity, also as well as displaying the date/time. The main inner screen itself is well proportioned and tells you everything you need to know and about your tasks.
For quite a long time I’d missed holding the V60i, but now, I am loving it all over again.

Tough aluminum casing can really take a beating. Large font, easy-to-read display, simple back-lit green screen (though it's really more of an attractive turquoise) both on the main screen and the outside 1-line display. Buttons are raised, easy to push, and the keypad is backlit. Speakerphone, voice recognition, and volume buttons are all accessible on the side of the phone. External volume control also controls alert style if the flip is closed (say you step into a meeting and need to switch to vibrate or silent mode - just hit one of the external volume buttons, hit the soft key below it to scroll through Vib+Ring, Vibrate Only, Loud, Soft, or Silent, then hit the volume button again to set that style and exit out of the menu).

Reception was not as spectacular as my old Motorola 180, but with Verizon I still had much better reception than many of my friends with fancier phones from other carriers. Signal would be choppy every once in a while, but overall was decent. Also, when I tried to grip the phone with my shoulder during a conversation, people on the other end would comment that my voice would cut out.

This phone, like every new phone that has come out in the past couple years, uses a digital signal. But the V60 is one of the last models made that can still automatically switch over to an analog signal where there is little coverage (which I found very useful when I traveled to the boonies of North Dakota). So that's a major plus for this phone if you live in, or will be traveling to, a remote area.

It clearly doesn't have all the bells and whistles that you will see on most phones nowadays, but despite its humble appearance, it packs in a few impressive features:

*internet capable
*text messaging
*speakerphone (nice and loud on my end, but I'm softspoken and found myself having to yell when using it in the car)
*pre-loaded screen savers (simple, black & white, and pixelated, of course)
*a handful of great ringtones to choose from
*compose your own simple ringtone, on the phone itself
*calendar, which can also double-function as...
*alarm clock (but since it's primarily a calendar, you'll have to set the time of the "event" at least 5 minutes ahead of when you actually want the alarm to sound)
*hands-free headset capable (works loud and clear)
*large font option
*GPS notifier (defaulted to 911-only. when you call 911 they can tell where you are. note: this function does NOT make your location visible to YOU).
*calculator (though it's kind of cumbersome to use, and takes some practice)
*speed dialing
*optional auto-redial if you lose a call
*programmable soft keys
*front and back casing is removable, so if you wanted to blow $8 you could get yourself new faceplates to spice things up a little, but the sleek charcoal grey is pretty nice
*blinking LED status light (can be turned off to save battery)
*notepad lets you jot down a phone number during a call, then retrieve it later in the "recent calls" menu
*date and time is on constant display on the front screen
*USB connectability

Battery life was decent, but not impressive. Sometimes had to jiggle the charger in order for the contacts to connect. Only major bug: when the "alarm" was set to sound while the charger was in, the entire phone had a tendency to freeze up, sometimes not allowing the alarm to sound at all. Could only be restored by removing the battery and starting up again. But it froze only while charging.

Overall a good dependable phone. A tough little guy!

My old cell (Motorola v60)broke and I needed a replacment as I did not want to go to a more expensive plan. I found the same phone on ebay and bought it. The phone is a basic flip phone, no camera, no color LCD but I don't care, it functions fine and has good reception, very durable if you don't drop it 10 ft to concrete. For me it works great!

i would write a review but i can not write a review about something i payed for but never recived the product contacted the seller and they would not repliy even though they had done recived the money for the phone but had never gotten the phone cotacted ebay and the only reply i have recived was them wanting me to give a review on a scam

This cell phone was junk. You cannot even read the numbers on the display. Poor reception. Not very sturdy.

-V60 phone wasn't for VERIZON network as per seller -belt clip didn't come as said ---I had lost my phone and need a used one for the rest of my contract with VERIZON --I think PAYPAL has my money in an account ---THANKS DOUG CHEEK

For what it is .... it is great. I live on the edge of a rural area and this phone gets great reception. I used to broken phones to make one really great working phone and with a new antenna it works better than another phone I bought in the past few months. Small and easy to use. Records personal memos and short comments. Great reception but no camera. Oh well, can't have everything. Terrific basic phone and rugged. It can take a little bump.
