Virgin Mobile Kyocera K9 Pay-As-You-Go Wireless Phone
Better than Tracfone
Me and my mother recieved these cool phones for the holidays. As you know holiday calling means HUGE bills!We first had Tracfone. They have bulky reconditioned Nokia phones that are digital,but dull. And every time I made a long distance call it was 25 minutes! Funny their ads are everywhere. I first saw the K9 for sale on a TV ad. $39.99. You may have seen it. <br />I thought,\\"okay so it's prepaid like Tracfone it's gotta be boring\\". I jumped on Virgin Mobile and Google to find reviews and features. Was blow away by the features. Flashlight on a cell phone? Cool! And you can Top-Up and download ringtones right from the phone. Very nice. It also looked much more \\"up to date\\" then some other pre-paid phones. <br />Sorry to here other users mention the telephone ringtone or battery. The ringer works great for me,and my mom says it worked for her as well. I'm glad.  <br />A trick to get the battery to last 3 to 4 hours,is to disable backlighting,vibration,and screensavers. Another words keep it simple. I've managed to get 3 days of standby time with it so far. <br />Hope this helps you,and at best do more text messaging to save minutes,it's better!
