US Cellular in Southern Wisconsin.<br /><br />Works with Motorola Phone Tools (MPT) quite well.<br /><br />The Datebook functions work and sync well with the MPT.<br /><br />Durable, My mother-in-laws went through the washer, totally submerged, LCD saturated with water. three days later it was dry and everything works except the LCD backlight. fearing it would fail I was able to upload all the phone data with MPT. She received a new phone, the V323i, and it will not work with MPT. The data gleaned from it must now be manually entered. At least the V262 allowed me to get the data. It still functions though. It will be my emergency loaner now. <br /><br />Cons.<br /><br />Will not accept MP3's from MPT, despite the fact MPT indicates it should. <br /><br />Small viewing screen.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=550 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=550&r=23317#review23317 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=550&r=23317#review23317 Sun, 03 Jun 2007 22:15:55 GMT <p><i>pookie1 submitted this review of the Motorola V260 / V262:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>this is the third v262 i've had in one year. the "carge connection" goes bad, caller ID shows up double.

It just kinda sucks once you try to make calls. I don't know if it is the antenna, battery, or both. The battery will lose its charge in less than 8 hours and it doesn't get reception ANYWHERE. I've been unable to make calls when a cell phone tower is in plain view of my location. My brother is on the same network (Alltel) and he will have three reception bars and I get no service, literally. I've sat right next to him and he would call my phone as an experiment. No ring. just a missed call alert. Sometimes I'd receive text messages two days after they were sent. <br /><br />I thought the phone was just a lemon, so replaced it. I immediately had the same problems. <br /><br />pros: <br />small<br />looks nice<br />durable<br /><br />cons: <br />doesn't work at all.<br /><br />I recently replaced it with a Samsung Wafer.

If anyone knows what the 3587i is, then you now it's not the best one around. The Nokia was a free phone given to me back when CellularOne was still around. I must say, it worked better than the V262. I gave the V262 to my grandmother when I upgraded to a Motorola W315. When I try to call her, I am trying for 20 minutes, and I might get her to answer, but only for about 30 seconds before the call drops on her side. We live in a small town in southeastern South Dakota, where there are at best 1 tower for every 60 square miles. The nearest tower is in Mitchell, 45 miles away. <br /><br /><br />I gave this phone a 1 only because it works 1/650000000th of a time.<br /><br /><br /><br />PROS:<br /><br />The hinge is sturdy.<br /><br />It's a tough phone, (I ran it over with my Crown Vic the other day).<br /><br />The Silver/Black button colors are nice.<br /><br />Nice speaker phone.<br /><br /><br /><br />CONS:<br /><br />Very little service.<br /><br />Horrible battery life and charger.<br /><br />Alltel is evidently doesn't care about towers, because I have told them and told them that signal strength is at its worst, and so have my friends. I have been thinking about switching to Verizon.<br /><br />There is a Verizon tower about 5 miles from town, and when the phone switches to the tower, you can make 2 calls on it, 911, and Altell.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=550 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=550&r=21570#review21570 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=550&r=21570#review21570 Fri, 09 Feb 2007 16:45:02 GMT <p><i>tschreib submitted this review of the Motorola V260 / V262:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I've had the phone for 7 months, and have sent it in for repair twice. the phone will switch from ring&amp;vibe to ring at a lower level by itself. i use my phone for work, and i need the vibe alert for calls. this phone has failed me many times. alltel is NO help at all.

This phone is not worth a penny.<br /><br />Sure, when I first got it brand new, it worked great. Came with alright ring tones, and everything seemed to be working great. It wasn't long after that when I started noticing problems. During almost every call, there was a distinctive beat.. I always referred to it as my phones heart beat, it is rather annoying while trying to talk.<br /><br />Also, it didn't take long for the front display screen to mess up. There is something that is hanging down above the time. It is VERY distracting! And a eye sore.<br /><br />The battery is crap. I have friends with other Motorola phones, and their phones charge could last them all day if they didn't talk on it.. If I am at school and leave my phone on all day, but the end of the day, I have one bar.<br /><br />Also, I won't just have dropped called, but sometimes my phone just turns off. Apparently it must tell me when I have been talking too long? Because I can be in the middle of a conversation, and click, it turns off.<br /><br />Consumer BEWARE!! This phone is not top quality.<br /><br />PROS :<br />Nothing that stays PRO<br /><br />CONS :<br />The Phone<br /><br />Hope this is helpful for anyone thinking of purchasing this awful phone.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=550 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=550&r=19488#review19488 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=550&r=19488#review19488 Tue, 24 Oct 2006 16:39:29 GMT <p><i>That_phone_guy_A1A submitted this review of the Motorola V260 / V262:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I've read through every review, and I've got to say I agree with a lot of whats been said. <br /><br />I have had this phone for close to two years. I have put up with a lot of stuff for this phone. I had the phone for maybe four months before they put out the recall on it, for the bad ear piece. I didn't know about the recall, and ended up just getting the ear piece replaced. After dealing with that, I have had to deal with horrible reception, and other issues. And especially as of lately, the battery.<br /><br />The battery on this phone, to put it bluntly, sucks. Now, I can put it on the charger for my seven hour work shift, take it off when I leave...and then make a five minute phone call on the way home. And then the phone beeps and says low battery. My phone has been living in a permanent state of low battery for dang near 3 months. Toss it on a charger, low battery for 10 hours, toss it on a charger...etc etc etc.<br /><br />And now the new occurrence. I went to Chicago over the weekend. My phone died in its "low battery" stage, and I could barely get it to turn back on. It would flash "moto" at me, and turn off. So I tossed it on a charger at work this morning...and...pllltbnbbbbthhhh.<br /><br />Nothing. My phone doesn't even do that anymore. It blinks. It lights up, still black screen, and fades right back to darkness. Try putting it on the charger, It turns my phone into a freaking strobe light, not charging it, not turning it on, just making it flash. <br /><br />I'm three months out until my contract is up, and great. I have a freaking strobing paper weight for a cell phone. <br /><br />Great.<br /><br />I hate this phone.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=550 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=550&r=18675#review18675 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=550&r=18675#review18675 Fri, 08 Sep 2006 02:16:17 GMT <p><i>chuckvaz submitted this review of the Motorola V260 / V262:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This phone is one of the best I've had. I live in rural west central Florida and my company was at odds with a previous carrier that plagued us with a multitude of dropped calls and bad service. Luckily we changed carriers and we all got V262's as they worked best in our area. I've never had a dropped call in the 3 months that we've had the new phones. A word of caution: The only available charger is the travel charger and it has already messed up 2 phones in our company. If it's left plugged in for an extended period of time, the phone will not charge anymore and the battery icon will disappear and the battery will discharge completely. Overall if you need a phone that works in elevators and malls, this is the one to get.<br /><br />Pro's:<br /><br />It works, period. Even if you're in a manhole.<br />No dropped calls.<br />Distinctive rings.<br />Can program ringer/vibrator functions without opening the phone.<br /><br />Cons:<br /><br />Travel charger can foul up phone.<br />No desk charger.<br />Holster doesn't support phone well, better get a cheap holster from any discount store or mall kiosk before you end up losing your phone in a jetway ramp or scaffold.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=550 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=550&r=18651#review18651 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=550&r=18651#review18651 Thu, 07 Sep 2006 02:45:59 GMT <p><i>schneller submitted this review of the Motorola V260 / V262:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I have had this phone for a year.<br /><br />I have purchased 2 batteries for it and 3 travel chargers.<br /><br />It stopped charging using the travel chargers but still charged using the car charger.<br /><br />Now the car charger won't charge it either.<br /><br />The battery is good.<br /><br />This phone has proven to be unreliable and I don't recommend it.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=550 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=550&r=18035#review18035 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=550&r=18035#review18035 Tue, 01 Aug 2006 15:18:10 GMT <p><i>Meari submitted this review of the Motorola V260 / V262:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I've had this phone for less than 2 years and I am on my 3rd power supply cord.

I have missed many calls because of this phone. Some calls don't even show up on the recieved folder. I hear about them later from angry friends. My phone will have full signal and it will go straight to my voice mail. I don't text message either because for some reason I'm not able to. I've only gotten a few text messages.

The software was nice and simple for me to use, quick-linking the menu options to some buttons was dirt simple, and keys were large and fit nicely for those of us with fat and clumsy fingers (Hoorah!).<br /><br />I've noticed in a couple reviews that people have been having issues with the battery life and reception. I run off of Telus' network and have always been pleased with them. Their American parent company Verizon, however, seems to have some issues making customers happy. I can't comment on how this phone works on US networking, but on Telus I get reception everywhere...literally. I've been everywhere from fields to underground parking 2 levels down, and this pup still works. <br /><br />As for the battery, running off of the default settings will get you a nice long life out of it if your using it in homes, cars, outside, and most office building. More or less everywhere for the average person. But I find if your using it in isolated buildings like malls or rural areas where your phone does a good chunk of roaming, you MAY noticed the battery draining a tad quicker. If you go into your settings and change it from 'Search Signal' to 'Home Mode Only'. This will help cut down on roaming and save you some life on the battery...<br /><br /><br />Pros:<br /><br />- User friendly (IMO)<br />- Great Battery life<br />- Amazing Reception<br />- Sturdy<br /><br /><br />Cons:<br /><br />- Small screen<br /><br /><br />All-in-All, I've been happy with this phone. Besides the small screen size, I'd still recommend this to anyone that doesn't want to spend any cash on a phone, or using Pay-As-You-Go.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=550 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=550&r=16928#review16928 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=550&r=16928#review16928 Tue, 06 Jun 2006 16:15:04 GMT <p><i>GC submitted this review of the Motorola V260 / V262:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This phone is really good.

It generally feels good in your hand.<br />2. The ear piece voice is OK, but not great.<br />3. My network signal seems solid in my area of west Florida (Clearwater/St.Pete)and I seldom "drop" calls. (MetroPCS network).<br />4. Ability to plug into my RJ11 "docking" station. This enable's me to use standard "wired" phone devices on the MetroPCS network. I achieve the same benefits as if using the older Motorola 120.<br /><br />Con's:<br />1. "snap" in charger is still weak. I prefer the easier to use "plug" in style (for example, as on Nokia and Samsung).<br />2. Phone book is poor. Does not allow multiple phone numbers for same name, example home; office, mobile. Also does it allow adding such things as comments for a number.<br />3. Speaker phone is hard to hear. Callers tell me I sound like a am inside an "oil-drum".<br />4. Drop down/pull up antenna is very weak. I know mine will soon break.<br />5. Size of clock "time" of day is very small. (I need glasses to read it.)<br />6. Assigned "ring" tone (to my personal phone numbers) OFTEN plays the WRONG tune when my family or friends call. I now 100% don't trust it.<br />7. Poor battery talk time life. <br />(ps: My "plan" provides UNLIMITED talk time. Therefore, battery life gets very SHORT resulting in dropped calls when the battery finally goes dead. It forces me to always keep my charger plugged in when on the road).<br /><br />Best of luck if you get this phone.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=550
