|
Rated 4.0 out of 5 With a color screen, a speakerphone, built-in games, and changeable faceplates, the Nokia 2600 is an entry-level phone with features often found in much more expensive handsets. Compact and easy to use, the 2600 makes a great companion, and it's the perfect complement to Tracfone prepaid wireless service. Design The 2600 follows the tried and true Nokia candybar style with an internal antenna. The 128 x 128 color display boasts 4096 colors. Most of the phone's features and on-screen menus are controlled by a five-way center button on the handset's control pad. Detachable color faceplates are available for the front and rear of the handset so you can dress up your 2600 to suit your mood. A standard hands-free headphone jack is also provided. Calling Features The 2600's built-in address book can store up to 200 contacts for quick and easy management of phone numbers. Choose from up to 34 built-in ringers, plus 5 additional, downloadable ringtones. There's also a vibrating alert for when you want to be discreet. You can even create your own custom ringers with the included ringtone composer. Plus, a built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk hands-free. The 2600 ships with a number of handy Tracfone services, including free voice mail, free caller ID, and free call waiting. And perhaps most importantly, the integrated TracFone Airtime Balance Display shows you how much airtime you've used and how much is left, so you can control your costs. Messaging and Tools If you need basic messaging capabilities, the 2600 has you covered as support is built-in for sending and receiving SMS text messages. T9 text entry, a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built-into the unit-- a plus for text messaging users. A number of handy software tools are bundled with the 2600 including a calendar, a calculator with spreadsheet functions, and an alarm clock. The 2600 lets you carry these tools wherever you go so you can create appointments and view your schedule at a moment's notice. Entertainment The 2600 has plenty of fun built in, thanks to an assortment of built-in games. You'll get Mobile Soccer, Bounce, and Nature Park to help you pass the time during your commute on the train or the bus!

| Great phone, better service than our contracted service provider | Rating: 5 |
I love this phone. It has replaced my contracted service and it performs just as well. Reception is just as well as with my contracted service (actually better). It has a color screen and many features. Tracfone is good for those who do not use their cell phones alot. We just couldn't justify a monthly bill when I couldn't even use up the minutes every month.

| My experience using the TracFone has been good. Coverage and connections are not a problem. |
| good prepaid service | Rating: 4 |
Pros: It is a good prepaid service. The signal is better compared to my old T-mobile at Boston....
Cons: You have to input 4 long codes to activate it. I would suggest you to activate it on web instead of calling the 800 number. Make sure you select correct home area when you activate the service. Otherwise it will cost 2 units per minutes.

| nice prepaid service | Rating: 4 |
I have been using tracfone for seven months and I am satisfied with it. I have light cell phone usage and it costs me less than 15 dollars a month. The signal is good, no matter in the city of Boston or in the countryside of PA. I have not dealt with their custom service though. Tracfone has a promotion of 120 free minutes if you get an invitation from other users before you activate it. Let me know if you need one. And I can help you even if you have already activated it recently.

| Great phone...if it is designated for your coverage area | Rating: 5 |
This is the phone that convinced me to try Tracfone. When I visited a friend of mine living in the Los Angeles area and I pulled out my cell phone to make a call, he wondered why I was still using a major carrier when I had complained so much about the service and the monthly charges, when I didn't even use the minutes in my plan. He showed me his Nokia 2600 with Tracfone service. I used it to call my spouse on the opposite coast, and it worked like a charm. My friend convinced me to make the big switch. I was tired of those ongoing monthly bills from a major service provider. In addition, I realized that I never used my minutes because I'm not the kind of person to gab constantly on the cell phone. I took the plunge, didn't renew my plan, and bought a Nokia Tracfone. I was not able to buy the 2600 because it wasn't recommended for the area in which I live, so I ended up with the 2126. Regarless, Wow...that was the right move. So I know the 2600 is a great phone...BUT make sure that it is recommended for your area before purchasing. Also, if you go the Tracfone route, you can send me an email <1tennysonad@gmail.com> before you activate the phone, you and I can each get 2 hours free time due to a promotion. It's easy...go for it!

Tracfones are a good option for prepaid cell phones as long as you aren't a heavy user. Mine came with voice mail, some ringtones and some games. If you decide to get a tracfone, please send me a request for a referral anytime before activating it- we will each get 100 free minutes from the 'refer a friend' program. I'll also include the instructions. More information is available at www.tracfone.com I'm happy to answer questions.
