I purchased this phone from Target Stores because I wanted to try Tracfone as a cell phone service provider (according to Consumer Union, they are the best prepaid service provider).
The phone has several serious deficiencies that cause a great deal of annoyance :
- User manual is woefully inadequate (e.g. no explanation of auto lock feature, security, etc.)
- User manual on Samsung’s web site is only available as a pdf file and cannot be edited to print as individual pages
- User manual that comes with the phone is equally inadequate
- When you store the phone in its carry case and close the lid, the phone will frequently turn on, since some of the buttons protrude. If you accidentally touch the “browser” button, you will be charged 0.5 minutes for access charges !
Since this phone is likely to be be purchased by people who do not use a cell phone very often (for emergency contacts), the user instuctions need to be much more explicit/detailed, and the ergonomic design of operating buttons that can accidentally be activated leaves a lot to be desired. Overall, a big disappointment

I am so glad that i purchased this phone, it accompanies me whereever i go. For the price i cannot believe you get so much, we are talking texting for 0.30 minutes out of 1.00 minute. calls overseeas for no more than calls made locally. I would recommend this phone, especially for emergencies, you only have to buy a $20 card every 3 months which can add up to 120 minutes

I did not purchase my Samsung T101G tracfone on Amazon but at the local Dollar General store. It came with a packaged deal which included a belt clip carry case, phone car charger cord, ear phone piece and the free unlimited double minute plan. All that for $10 (which is dam good considering if all these items were purchased separately would come to $65 total). At that price I could not pass it up. That being said, I am a first time user of cell phones and the Samsung T101G is what I am beginning with. It is a great phone for first time ever cell phone users and is perfect for those who want a simple cell phone without all the fancy bells and whistles of the more expensive models. I was looking for a phone to have for emergency purposes and for general contact with the outside world when I traveled and this particular model phone is perfected for that. Reception has been decent in most areas and I have had no problems so far with making and receiving calls. The phone has many other features like web browsing and text messaging with which I am still experimenting with, so I can’t give you an honest review yet on those features. But if your looking for a simple, inexpensive cell phone that does what a phone should do (make and receive calls) without all the fancy bells and whistles, the Samsung T101G is a excellent choice.
