maybe there's a work around if you mess with the programming of the phone. what a drag, why would they do this. I regret this purchase I may yet return it.
The Razr it is a very good phone I have had some minor problems with assigning ring tone from my memory chip but for the price of the phone it works good and it has a very good reception. It is a pretty good little phone. I had and initial battery issue but they sent me a new one and it is very good on battery use.
Now I am using two batteries - one in phone and one on desktop charging cradle. I have replaced the battery but the problem remains the same.
The included pair of headphones work great with music and micro-SD slot gives additional storage. Razr V3i is a good phone with easy to use features.
When tried to charge directly with included charger, the battery never reached fully charged status even after 24 hrs of continuous charging. I am using a 2 gb micro-SD card and it works great.
However, there are issues with the battery charging. I took out the battery from phone and tried charging with a desktop charger and this time it worked.
Big pain, but this is only way to make use of money I have spent on this phone.
While both looked the same, the V3i have a lot of added features that, for a while confused me. That's just added expenses to my hefty monthly bill with AT&T.To sum it up, this phone isn't the best there is out there but useful enough for my own needs. I can't say I had problems with this phone. I'm one phone user who doesn't use whatever extras are stashed in to make a phone worthy of one's time. Some people could downplay this phone for what lacks but not me. But after a week of tweaking, I finally came to love the added features and was happy with it.While it's true that this phone is not MAC-friendly, I also found out that the Phone Tools software do not recognize it as an existing product of Motorola. Internet access via the phone may be nice to some but not to me.
With Quadband frequencies-- it makes a good phone for travel outside America. being a former owner of the older version, V3. I'd buy another of this V3i, hands down (i.e., if I happen to have the extra cash to own a second unit). Extra features aside, I got this phone because of the memory expandability that the V3 lacked. so long as I could make/receive calls; send/receive text messages, and listen to a bit of music. Battery life is also a big plus. :D
I then bought my second V3i, and fixed the old V3i. The front screen was slightly cracked, but the ballistic durability of the hard plastic is still surprising.
Compared to the New Motorola V9 as well as countless other new phones on the market, the V3i still retains its glamour, as the V3i was marketed as a top-notch phone. I have been using this product for over three years, I have bought a new V3i a second time after two years of use of an old V3i.
I had my first V3i crushed slightly by a car that drove too close to the curb. It has longer battery life than the V9 and has all the features that are necessary in a cell phone.The durability of the V3i is also excellent.
Cell phones with too many integrated electronics will be damaged easily. The phone still worked perfectly.
All the store had to do was replace the glass on the front screen and my old phone became as good as new again.I prefer the unlocked International version, which has slightly different menus and features and uses Digital Audio Player instead of the Apple iTunes software.
