[PixorGtfo]

[inc2000glw]

[fzsweetz]

how can i have facebbok chat on it?

[steven781227]

@fzsweetz you cant, its not an android....

[A7Xaregods6661]

How do you get out of etiquette mode????

[thbklover2010]

What are the options of a Cricket MSGM8 when saving a ringtone from a message?

Direct me here..

You have a message, and you want to

save a ringtone from whoever sent it to you.

For a start, I know you push the right silver (contacts menu) button.

Then you have these other options..

How do you save a ringtone??? Thanks!!!

[mrleggsdiamond]

[thbklover2010]

[SandersVideo100]

I have this crappy phone it takes 2 minutes to start up.. IM uploading the video its gonna be called My CRICKET PHONE SUCKS. check it out . Im gonna up load it when i get home from work tonight around midnight central time.

[shewrotered]

i think it's really lame that this phone is supposedly designed for text messaging yet there is a 150 character limit per text.

[HipThrustYou]

@shewrotered

all cell phones have a 150 character limit per txt

[UselessAngelWingz]

im probably getting this phone because I was planning on getting an android but I'd be wasting my money cuz I have an ipod touch 4g and I have wifi in my house and school so I really dont need the android so I'll get this phone only for calls and text :) pretty good deal

[1999Brian100]

cell phone sucks waste of money

[Alexiablack101]

ANY HTC PHONES MAKE IT TO CRICKET!!!!!PLZ HELP I NEED TO KNOW IF ANY HTC PHONE WILL MAKE IT TO CRICKET CUZ I WANT THE HTC INSPIRE!!!!!!!OR THESAMDD

[WeAreViralOfficial]

@Alexiablack101 im pretty sure that you can not use a htc phone with cricket because they do not have any on their website to be sure thought you might want to call them but i would say no

[Alexiablack101]

@WeAreViralOfficial aww okey

[Alexiablack101]

i miss that cell phone :( to bad smartphones are so addicting :( i wish that one could be a smartphone now i have the LG Optimus C and the second phone i had after i got the lg optimus c i had the Huawie Ascend *dang i hate the huawei*HEY DOES ANYONE KNOW IF ANY HTC PHONES MAKE IT TO CRICKET????????HELP!!!!!!!!

[XxCrazyChick16xX]

My friend has this phone and the comments say the phone sucks so now i feel bad for her :p

[Davidvideos83]

Cricket (as in the actually month to month android type plans where you go to an official Cricket store SUCK A FAT NIG' DICK! However, if you haven't tried Cricket PAY-GO prepaid cell phones then don't knock Cricket just yet. With Cricket PAY-GO, which is separate from actual official Cricket with there authorized dealer stores, you can buy Cricket PAY-GO phones from Walmart and such, buy top-up cards and never have to deal with there shitty customer serviced! Cricket PAY-GO customer service A+!

[Hersheykisslover98]

I have this phone and what sucks is that u can't watch videos or send videos! So if u r planning to get this phone be sure to know that it DOES NOT take videos! :)

[ventusdude88]

i have this phone but i lost the charger

[xXxrobotluvrsxXx]

who got ttempted to call 555-1212??? (I sure did...)

[TheMetroVids]

Thanks for this review!

[35ilikepie]

i had this phone....my friend got the MSGM8 II and it crapped out on him a lot....but mine was just the MSGM8 and it worked perfectly for me, never worried about it freezing or crapping out...i loved this phone...but now i got switched to Sprint and i have the Samsung Epic 4g...and it is as the name implies...EPIC!!!! >xD

[quanshaun]

facebook?

[vincentstockdale]

i have this phone

[Tony14Stark]

I've been off cricket for this hole year now. I made a good choice. Now.... cricket is the worst carrier in the world, and this is the worst phone.. don't get this crap

[Teezar22]

@Tony14Stark This may be true, but if you don't have the money to pay for those other, more expensive services, that most of the time include a contract, such as Verizon, then cricket is not a bad choice. Yes, i must say, cricket does not provide a large coverage area, but for the price, its a least half-way decent.

[Lacarikima]

i had this phone for a couple of months and i hated it! its a shitty phone, i really do not recommend this phone to anyone, you will be wasting your money.

[bajalska5]

This phone costs only 29.99 right now..it seems like an awesome deal. Can I use it with the $35/month plan? Are there any additional fees if you're calling/texting phone number from other carriers, or it's all included in the unlimited plan? Thanks (:

[TheAdminstrator9905]

when people say this phone sucks are they talking about this phone exactly or the updated version?

[Littlemisslulu101]

"Hello john how you doin" I love the way he said it. o_o <3

[raishooter]

Theres a driver for the pc?

[kid2475]

how do unlock if u forget ur code

please tell me

[d43130]

CRICKET phone company SUCKS.....Take money and give nothing in return, they STOLE $385.58 and 14 days LATER....STILL no refund..STAY AWAY....pay phones work better. Call them??? Only if you want to talk to NO-SPEAKIES.. from INDIA...who you cannot understand, and they, you. RRRRUUUUNNNNNNNNNNN

[sokker80ii]

[penni11]

I havee The MSGM8 ||

butt everytimee i try to acsess the internet some update registration thing pops upp

and it gets sooo anoying thaat i have to wait everytimee..

So do youu know how to takee it off.?

[lns1988]

I Have had my MSGM8 for about 5 months and it's been good to me. I have taken good care of it, and now all of a sudden it's acting very weird. Yesterday I left my phone charging on my living room table, and this morning all I saw was "45454545454545" typed on my screen. I can't power off my phone, none of the keys work, I can't navigate...nothing. The only thing that shows up is "45" on the screen. Does anyone else have this problem?

[gaspainsify]

@lns1988 Been having the same problem. All my checking has turned up jack. I can't find anything on what might have caused the problem or what you can try to fix it.

[queenie1218]

hey does this phone really suck? i hope it does not it is not bad to me! :)

[juggernautleo12]

@queenie1218 get the second verison it's way better and only 29.99 very basic but well built

[upabittoolate]

I've got this phone now. It's an attempt to look like a Blackjack but it's a terrible knockoff. I can't wait to upgrade.

[morota1152]

I have had this phone for like 2 years. and i just simply hate it. and the buttons are all jacked up. and there too close together and tiny. ugh and it never lets me change ringtone. and takes for ever to turn back on. this phone is just plain ugh.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PHONE! .. :T

[mine3100]

[musiclife3011]

HA, I had this phone for about half a year, And i HATED it.

At first, i thought the phone was going to be a good phone for texting

THEN the next week all the buttons got scratched up and shit.

then it started to shut down by it's self. and it would take for ever to go back.

I do NOT. Reccomond this phone to ANYONE.

[M3xicanGurlii]

@musiclife3011 The same crap happened to me, it would randomly turn off when i was web browsing and take FOREVER to turn back on. I feel your pain haha I DO NOT recommend this phone to anyone either.

Thanks for the review

[windymarie1]

this phone is a piece of shit. cricket is ripping people off. i bought this phone and had it for three month when the software went crazy. i tried to get a new one and was ran all over town only to find out i have to mail it to an address no one knows and wait for them to decide if i can get a new one. took the phone apart and all you see is a couple of wires glued together. can't even reset it. warning to the wise consumer do not buy this phone unless you get the insurance . good luck.

[arturolopez3]

[bigadrian100]

[bigadrian100]

[TheHortond]

I've used this phone for a while now and I'm upgrading because it wasn't working out. My motorola razr was more useful. Less the keyboard. But I'm sure they paid you a lot to talk it up. You little whore you.

[bigadrian100]

@TheHortond i here that cricket is going us wide its going to be like a cell phone company but pre paid

[TheHortond]

@bigadrian100 You pay the month in advance as it is now. I haven't heard anything about prepaid though.

[3452g5]

[mscloud22]

[sturkier]

@mscloud22 first go onto facebook on your phone. after you have done that click on profile and then when you are on your profile go into your photo albums.finally when you are in your albums it will say upload photos click that then it will give you an email address that you can send any photos or videos that you want straight to your facebook in seconds. hope this helped , sturkie

[tupacleo88]

does it have video camera or just camera?

[raniya1234]

can you use yahoo IM and msn IM on it

[dabrownguy2]

i have this phone, i got it for the price. its not a bad value but it lacks 2 very basic features that most other phones have. ability to record videos and it does Not have a micro SD slot. i also noticed that it does not have a long battery life compared to other phones too. if you are considering this phone, just look into it to make sure its what you really want. its a good phone, but not the right one for me.

[imbored1453]
