bought the phone never could even get it to activate. took it back to where i bought it. tried another phone off of the shelf. it would not activate either. they would only refund the money from the purchase of the phone not the 20.00 for the prepaid card. BUYER BEWARE!!! this company is a ripoff.

I had to agree with everyone else, the service is terrible and customer service is almost useless. They just charge be but didn't turn my phone on. Calling them just gets me hung up on before anyone ever comes to the line. I'm going back to tracfone. It was more expensive but at least it WORKS!

I would give it 0 stars if I could. Worst phone, worst service, in fact, no service, other than setting up the phone I could never get a hold of another person, will have to eat $50 at my bank just to cancel their monthly withdrawl!!! My monthly service was only $20/phone both my husband and I had one! I hate pcs the phone and all of this worthless non service.

@ crazyphonelady,
Just walk into a walgreens or walmart and buy a Tracfone for about $20.00.(I have the LG420g flip phone).
I have never had a problem in over a year now and haven't had to contact CS so I can't comment on that.
Here in Colorado and the western states I have great reception almost everywhere.
No problem adding minutes on line and the minutes and service time left show right on the phone display so you always know where you stand.. Check them out and see what you think.

finding this site, is one of the greatest days of my life. This phone is so bad, that i would like to pickett the store that sold it to me, there is nothing that every goes right with this company and i mean nothing, Customer Serivce is mentally challanged,I once asked to speak to somone american and they got so mad, i'm sorry i cant understand whatever language they speak, when every a payment has to be made it is a 3 day project, they have given me someone else number and disconnected me, I am so frustrated. I am an everyday working person, and when i do have enough to buy a new phone, i will go to my backyard and smash it into a zillion pieces (I try to get it on youtube) so I can relieve months of frustration. ABSOLUTELY THE WORST PHONE EVER MADE. they make everything difficult and treat you like your the idiot. (i know you know who this is ...ready mobile)....watch for the video

Solid phone. Solid service. have had for a year. I'm staying in the confines of the city for right now. Never roaming (or pillaging anymore, either, BTW.) Cheap, good, reliable service. Get a bunch for your hordes...uhhh, clan, uhhh, family..

This cell phone company is a rip off. You have to keep some many minutes on your phone to receive the 30 minutes night and weekends.

THIS PHONE IS RETARTED . I CANT EVEN TEXT 1 BUTTON ON THE PHONE . THE PHONE IS OUTTA ORDER AND OUTTA CONTROL . PLEASE SEND MEE ANOTHER PHONE ! I BOUGHT THE PHONEE EARLIER THIS MONTH. AND IT JUSST STARTED GOING CRAZY . I BOUGHT IT FROM GENERAL DOLLAR .
![]()
i dont like paying 15 dollars every week and if you want to get unlimited minutes you pay over 100 dollars a month and not many people have that type of money some people have families to support, people there are easier phones to get like boost mobile unlimited everything with 50 dollars a week or virgin mobile up to 25 dollars wich is 300 free calling minutes and unlimited messaging or 60 for unlimited. we are waisting our money just paying our bills.

somebody tell me if i can use my sprint phone on Total Call Mobile

Phone takes pictures, but no way to get them off of the phone. Website says no picture messaging available, says use online phoalbum. That's not supported on pre-paid phones. Mobile web is a joke, no google. Phone battery compartment broke first time opening, to insert the battery the first time. VERY DISAPPOINTED. says connot be returned after ten minutes of use. Says should use the free ten minutes that come with the phone. You have to MAIL the request for the free ten minutes.

Just bought my second Ready Mobile phone. First one went to the ex (she still uses it btw). Happy w/ their service... very few (if any) dropped calls. The variety of payment options is the best. $5 for 50 minutes.. now that's perfect for someone who doesn't talk a lot (like me). But, if I need to do a lot of talking I can purchase an unlimited package and it won't break the bank. Keep truckin' ReadyMobilePCS!!

It would be nice if i could talk to a person when i try to call Readymoble

This company is a JOKE!! I have had them for almost a year,been double charged NINE TIMES and now my servic e has been CUT OFF AFTER PAYING?? For not ONE BUT TWO LINES! I am done with them... they just lost a loyal customer.

I bought this phone for my daughter as a 12 year old birthday present. To show that she was responsible enough for a cell phone I had gotten her a toy phone a year before and told her that if she could hand it to me on her 12th birthday I would get her a real one. I'm not saying it was in the best shape but she managed to hold onto the toy and away we went to get her real phone. Within a week, more like 3 days, the handset had so many problems we had to return it. The store wasn't able to help and getting through to customer service was a nightmare. I was told that it would take up to six weeks to replace the handset. When her replacement handset finally came in it wasn't the same but by then she didn't care anymore. Used the phone for a few weeks and then misplaced it. She recently found it and she was so excited. Went to the store and purchased minutes for it only to find out that her phone won't accept them because it has been too long. I've tried to reach customer service for 11 days now - sent 4 messages through their customer service portal - the customer service phone number sends you in circles with an automated recording and when I looked up the company's office number it goes to a fax machine. Now I've got a useless $20 card and a very disappointed child. I don't know how I could be more displeased with this company.

Purchased phone + $10 pkg. Also, $50 unlimited month. Gift for handicapped housebound person. Phoned ReadyMobile to make sure of reception before purchase. Assured of GREAT RECEPTION. Truth is, NO RECEPTION!!! attempted 6 calls at different areas in & around home..nothing but garble..Called Ready Mobile..Foreigner Customer Serv guy kept saying he wanted to help but then couldn't help at all..said supvevisor would call me..never happened..no reimbursement of $50..took phone back to store and they finally after much talking refunded the purchase of phone.
Where is the $50 pkg...in outer space!!!
This SUCKS>>>Sold in this area but doesn't work here..no refund and unsatisfactory customer service..
If you live in Louisiana...DONT BUY READY MOBILE!!!!!

People that write bad reviews about ready mobile are retards or don't know what the heck they are doing or are just getting paid to witre a bad review. I've had ready mobile for a while now and I think it's the best thing out there! Phones are really great! I've found some nice ones. Plans are great too! They fit my needs and customer service is 100% awesome! Never had anything go wrong with them. One tho wish they had a data plan for the phones. lol other then that I like it. :)

I've had AT&T for over 10 years and just got tired of paying the high cost. Service terrible and unresolved complaints so I cancelled my contract. But, I have to say that Ready Mobile is even worse. Thought I'd try out prepaid cause it seemed less expensive. But, I wasted alot of $ today on this piece of crap phone and have no service at all. It says digital roaming. If it's roaming then why do they sell them locally?? I would not advise anyone to purchase this product.

Bought one of these phones at Food Lion for about $40. The phone was in roaming and wouldn't make a call. After checking the coverage map online, there is NO coverage anywhere in my area. Also the phone number that comes with phone was a Texas number and I live in North Carolina. The phone itself was actually refurbished and the battery door didn't fit the phone right and it kept falling off and the battery would fall out. I tried to return it to the store but they wouldn't take it back. Now I will probably have to go through a bunch of crap trying to contact the company to see if I can return it to them.

Using currently, love the service and the price. It's also nice to know these phones are using refurbished.

I found the $14.99 plan a great deal. It was affordable for me and it worked for my needs.
![]()
Love that they offer $9.99 - 3 day Unlimited and $14.99 - 7 day Unlimited talk & text plans. It helps me afford a cell phone plan when funds are low. www.readymobile.com

Unlimited service for $14.99 for 7 days. Unlimited calling and unlimited texting. That is a good deal.
![]()
I am currently using readymobile and I am loving it. It's affordable and the coverage is great. I'm also a fan of the product being green...It's nice we are able to reuse phones that are perfectly good.
![]()
The only problem I have with ReadyMobile cell service is they do not give you enough days to use your minutes. It has become very expensive and I cannot afford to pay this wen there are companys that have complete plans for cheaper than this.
![]()
Didnt even activate the service yet and have already had problems with the phone. A blank white screen on the Sanyo S1, and I have to take out the battery each and every time to restart the battery to get it going again. There S1 phones swallow and are on the CHEAP end of the deal. It will make for a good skeet shooting target.
As for the service, I plead the fifth, since I never had it even activated. Sorry Readymobile, but your NOT Ready, at this time.
![]()
By the way I have a Sanyo S1 model phone.

Well, this service uses the sprint network and YES it matters because the sprint network stinks.
Price is a little high but works for what it's worth I suppose.
Migrating to StraightTalk in about a month.
![]()
when you text be ready to get charged like 20 times. i have had the service for 3 months and the past two months they have taken almost 200 minutes from me. when you get a text messge be sure to delete it right away cuz thats where they said that it goes. just be very careful with this company
![]()
500 minutes for 25? Pretty cool. But damn those phones suck.
![]()
Thanks guys for all the comments. I was thinking about purchasing one of these phone. Not now!
![]()
Mojo is a coplete ripoff. They sell sprint refurbs as new without disclosure. They also charge 3 minutes for each call that lasts under a minute. RUN AWAY FROM THESE CROOKS !
