Vivo V40 Lite, Titanium Silver, 8/128 GB

Комментарий: First phone had a bad battery but Telestial overnighted a new phone to me - great customer service. I combined this with a Telestial SIMple Calling Plus USA and Canada Dual-IMSI SIM with $10 Credit. Phone was loud and clear everywhere I travelled in Canada and the US. You have to dial a 1 prefix for each number you call or you get a busy signal - not quite like a standard cell phone. I set my regular cell phone up to forward calls to this phone and as I travelled in Canada all my normal US calls were forwarded to this phone. Text messages did not get forwarded! Recharge minutes as you travel by using the phone and your credit card. Your minutes don't expire if you use the phone once every 9 months!<br /><br />NO LONGER WORKS IN CANADA. YOU NEED A 3G PHONE TO CONNECT TO ROGER'S OR TELUS! 1/09/2013

Комментарий: The phone worked for a month, then the battery was (almost) drained, plugged it in to charge... would not charge.. horrible product. Bought a Cell phone out of Hong Kong (came with two batteries) for the trip, Celestial sim chips worked fine as did the Hong Kong phone... same price too.. Maybe I'd recommend the Telestial sim chips, but certainly wouldn't recommend their phones or package deals...

Комментарий: I purchased a v4d phone over a year ago mainly for use in the US. I'm not a typical phone user and with that I mean I use a phone to make/receive necessary calls and that's about it. Any other cell phone/smart phone with all kinds of software and gadgets is wasted on me. Therefore I wanted very badly this phone to work. With dual sim cards I would have been able to use it overseas too. Well, it was a complete disaster.<br />Where I'm living, NC, I was basically getting 2 networks, AT&T and Vstream. I found out rather quick that AT&T did not work. People were unable to reach me and if I attempted to make a call I got the message "Your call can not be completed as dialed". This happened dialing 1+areacode+ number or without dialing the 1. Vstream gave me better results, so I manualy selected the Vstream network. But even by selecting it manually, the phone unbeknownst to me switched randomly back to AT&T and again nobody was able to reach me. I made numerous calls to Ekit's CS. Remember, I wanted it to work. Unfortunately, no one came up with a solution. As a matter of fact, one technician made the suggestion that there was probably an interruption in service when using AT&T. In my book an interruption is a temporary event. Not a constant. I finally wrote a letter to the power(s) to be in Boston. That was more than a month ago. Never heard anything back. My v4d was probably tuned in to the AT&T network!<br />I give the whole experience one star, and that's for the alarm. It went exactly of at the time I had set it for. However, speaking of time, flying back from the west coast to the east coast the phone had not adjusted for the change of time. It had done so automatically when flying to the west coast. So keeping time was another issue I could not count on. So my one star is for the alarm only. That went off!<br />If live has been good to you and you want to off-set it with some aggravation, buy this phone.<br /><br />Update 3/27/2013 regarding the comment left of the Ekit CS<br />My response to their comment was "I did that review after calling/emailing you multiple times. What makes you think that it is the handset? It would be nice if that was the case but why would nobody had mentioned that before?<br /><br />Their response direct emailed to me: "Thank you for contacting Customer Service.<br />Unfortunately the handset is out of warranty and it appears as if your recent escalation / refund request was approved. You have been refunded your last transaction of $10.00.<br />We apologize for any inconvenience caused, and if we can be of any further assistance, please feel free to contact us.<br />Kind regards,"<br /><br />My response directly emailed to them was why bother to leave that comment. I mentioned in my original review that the phone was more than a year old.<br />Btw, the $10 they are talking about is additional money I added to their sim card. So at my request they returned it.They were probably very happy to get rid of me.<br /><br />Meanwhile I did subscribe to Consumer Cellular, they mailed me a sim card and it works great in the v4d.
