I ordered this product to replace a phone my daughter broke.. when it arrived it was blue.. which I needed a phone so I didn't care.. and then I turned it on and found that is a Motorola China.. which could not be activated where I live.. and was programed to work in chinese. so I had to send it back.. I paid 12 dollars to send it back and J&R ( the comapany in NY where the phone was shipped from) would not give me a full refund.. and then it is only a store credit.. in which, I would never buy anything from there again to start with. very very dissatisfied

I purchased this phone as a replacement for my slvr L2. it has better features...camera,new sleek look,added software. i fully charged it. inserted my sim card, and everything was working fine until i tried to place a call. I found i could place calls but shortly after connecting it would drop the call. so after contacting tech support they said i needed to get a new sim card and it might fix the problem. so i drive 15 mins down the road and get a new sim card just to find out that it doesnt change anything, still having dropped calls. in the end ATT said that it was the phone and it was most likley due to the fact that it was unlocked. ill never buy a unlocked phone again. as far as the phone itsself it worked fine,however im happy that i already had a motorola charger because the one that was sent in the box with the phone was european. i ended up sending it back to mobilecity and only getting a fraction of what i paid for it, due to the dumb restocking fee. so to cut this short, make sure your service provider supports unlocked phones before purchasing!!

I had no trouble when installing my SIM card and generally it works fine, but I've had problems at times with it refusing to turn on. After removing and reinserting the battery it worked ok. I'm not thrilled with the tiny number buttons and the backlight doesn't stay on long enough during certain procedures. I would not buy this type of phone again.

the first thing you need to know is that this phone is completely made it to be used in china. The phone offer some options that are made it just to be used with a "china phone service" (to name it in some way)

Once you find where you can change the language to english, you will see
that the phone works great, it does what it need to do, camera, bluetooth, radio, 10Mb of capacity, and is a good looking phone.

In my country (Costa Rica), the phone worked perfectly ... i could make calls, send messages and do everything your SIM card allow you to do

it doesnt come with earphones ... just the phone and the charger ... and a lots of chinese manuals and one manual in english

Dont expect a cheap camera ... expect a super bad camera ...

so you got it, this is the phone you are looking if you want a cheap one .. i just hope you could find where to change to language faster than me

I bought this phone to replace my T-Mobile flip phone. I inserted the sim and powered it up, just like I had read in all the reviews it powered up in chinese, took me 3 different areas to totally remove the chinese and have it read all english. Phone has excellent reception, 10mb internal storage and a FM radio to boot. I live in Texas and have had ZERO issues with the phone, it works just like the american edition. The phone is slim enough to fit in a shirt pocket, very sleek and easy to use.

This isn't the best phone in the world but it will do. It has a lot of problems with reception; I have a contract with ATT and broke my phone, this phone was a replacement for the old one. The problem, however, is that this phone does not get reception where my old phone used to. Plus the reception fades in and out.

The phone I received turned out to be a China Mobile one with all connections to Chnese provider and Chinese-type keyboard layout! I feel I should have been warned it is the model for CHinese market!

This phone is super-locked, means can be used with only active sim card. I purchased this phone as standby and for travel purpose. You can not used camera or fm radio without active sim card. I have several locked old phone, both gsm and cdma. I can use camera, music player, fm etc without any sim card or active service. I tried installing my old inactive sim card, but this phone is not accepting it. And without active sim card it will not turn on. I can get better and free phone with service.

For use outside the United States especially in Africa, one always needs a quad band unlocked cell phone like this one. I ordered and received two of these from Amazon and shipped them to my folks in Africa. They received them with joy and they jumped into jubilation when they put in their sim card and it started working at once without ant hitch like decoding or anything like that. And they made a call from it to me here in the US. Amazing isn't it? One cousin was even crazy about the ability of the phone to receive the local FM radio transmission in Africa.

So then for the L6i to be described as an "International Version", was proved right when my folks got their phone working. However for use in the US please go for the ordinary L6 without the 'i'. Hahahaaaaaa!!!

For People traveling outside the US and for those who are here on a short visit if you are looking for gifts for friends and family I strongly recommend this low-priced phone with camera, internet, organizer, SD slot, and FM Radio. I bought some for my friends and they are in use right now. Please buy one or more today.

I think this is a great phone. It's pretty neat. But it is very much a "made in China" phone,m so the quality seems a little poor. But the only that I couldn't stand was the poor reception it has. Sometimes, it goes into "emergency call" only mode because it can't pickup my provider (AT&T) which I usually have great signal in my area.
