Summary: Very crappy phone and service
Comment: DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!!!
My mother and I got these as Christmas gifts from my brother. We both have Virgin service. Well, my battery would not even keep a charge for two days!!! I do not use the phone unless needed, so no calls were made. Virgin replaced the phone after some complaining... the next one only had a battery that lasted four days (remember, standby is supposed to be 7 days)... again, try and get a replacement from Virgin.. and the third phone is only good for two days...
Now, Virgin will not let me use the price as a credit, so I will have to buy another phone to get a decent battery life.. a complete waste of money.

Summary: This phone is awesome, and great for your first phone
Comment: I got this phone a few years ago before switching to the OYSTR, and it's a great little phone. I love the design, and how small it is. The phone fits in your palm. It's not good for people that want all the extras, but it's good for emergencies and for people who don't talk alot, like me. The phone has great reception, I never lost a call, and its battery life lasts forever. The flashlight is also really helpful, it shines real bright. The sound quality for the ringtones you download isn't that great, but you can at least have a ring you like on it. The phone has a whole crap load of rings to pick from, and if I didn't want a flip phone, I would of definetly stayed with the Kyocera K9. This phone is perfect, along with Virgin Mobile service.

Summary: Absolute hunk of junk.
Comment: Let's see. It rebooted consistently when one of my friends called, the voice recognition is worthless, the paint fell off of the keys, the ringtone named "PHONE" doesn't work, the display got clogged up with dust, and Virgin's customer support was awful. Avoid.

Summary: Priceless budget phone
Comment: I bought this phone for $20 at Target when I signed up for Virgin pay as you go. The flashlight has been a life saver in power outages. Keeps a long charge and is great for those quick calls. The sound quality is not that great but I can still communicate. I recommend this phone and the Virgin plan is awesome. I pay $18 every three months and it's 18 cents a minute.

Summary: Nice little Phone. No silly "Options"
Comment: I am of the older generation (44 yrs old) And I am firmly convinced that a phone should be.... a phone.
No need for a Camera, (I have one) Ring tones, games, dental floss or anything else that isn't related to answering by saying Hello... Color me silly, but I just want a phone.
This little Gem does exactly what I need, it places and answers calls, very reliably. Simple to use, nice features (some of which I have never used/don't need). Most importantly, it is SIMPLE to operate!!!
With Virgin Mobile I pay 10 cts/minute and have NO plan to sap my $$$$$.
Text messages are simple, and once I learned how to do them, I didn't need to place calls as much. The K-9 lasts for HOURS on a battery charge and standby time is very generous, (if I forget to plug it in daily).
The phone is DURABLE too, my son accidently Washed and Dried his K-9 (thanks Maytag) and it still works... It's much cleaner too.
Originally purchased as an Emergency communicator, I was very pleased with it and now use it daily.
If you dont talk for hours in the evening, like some folks. This plan/phone is PERFECT!!!!! and Virgin mobile now has a reasonable Month by Month plan that offers FREE talk time too, with 1 Cent texting also available!!!!! WOW, I might just consider doing that instead of the 10 cent minute option.
Check it out, for $39 you get a phone that only costs $7 a month to maintain, if you dont use it that much!!! AWESOME insurance for the traveller!
