I absolutely hate this phone!

By Dragon_Sight (cnet.com) Read the full review

Don't get this phone!! It makes you want to throw it against the wall.

You can talk and text, that's about it

Where do I begin? No camera, T9 is absolutely ridiculous, after having it for 2 months, the battery dies very quickly, it randomly shuts off or just won't work, the ring tones are retarded, the interface is dumb. I really just hate everything about this p

It's not a fully packed phone? So what!

By narn3049 (cnet.com) Read the full review

I needed a simple phone for a trip I was taking and used it then- it worked VERY well, and was a good phone- you need to get this phone if you want a basic phone. It is not bad- and it is a pretty sweet phone- so get-get-get.

It has a little sum of features that seniors or first time users would use. ZTE and ATT really thought of the customer with this

I really don't have any, it gets the job done

Inexpensive, has voice recorder, simple mobile web access

This by far the worst part, when going through the menus you have you wait for the phone to catch up. If you try to key ahead you end up in the wrong menu or it just doesn't go anywhere. And the more I use it the more annoying it becomes

AT&T R225 (GoPhone, silver, Prepaid/Pay As You Go)

By Jessica Dolcourt (cnet.com)

ZTE may shroud its identity in the branding of the AT&T R225, but the cell phone manufacturer is indeed behind this AT&T prepaid GoPhone. ZTE has a history of making tall, slim cell phones, like the ZTE C79 and the Agent, and the R225 fits right into...

The AT&T R225 is a petite, attractive phone with admirable call quality and a rock-bottom price

A small screen and lousy speakerphone are bummers, but the lack of Bluetooth and a volume rocker are the R225's biggest disappointments

As long as you never have cause to use it hands-free, the AT&T R225 will reward you with good call quality. Yet, the absent volume rocker makes it best-suited for occasional callers.

Its petite body, combined with very good call quality and a rock-bottom $14.99 price tag without a contract, keeps the AT&T R225 in the running for an entry-level phone. However, several oversights--the lack of a volume rocker among them--makes the...

Item arrived on time and it was as described in the ad. Thanks for the great transaction/ Hope to do business again.

Perfectly good gophone

This cell phone is perfectly good. It works and that's what matters. It is GPRS and not 3G, 4G or even Edge. But since it's not a smart phone you real
