Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

At just over a half-inch thick, the Motorola RAZR V3 is the perfect combination of sleek design and powerful features. And with AT&T's GoPhone pay-as-you-go service, you pay for just the minutes you use without having to sign up for an annual contract--this phone even comes with $35 of airtime included. You can easily refill your minutes via prepaid cards or the Internet, or choose to prepay each month and roll over unused minutes. An impressive quad-band GSM phone (great for global travelers), the RAZR V3 includes a VGA (640 x 480) camera, Bluetooth connectivity for communication headsets, dual LCD screens, video clip playback, and up to 7 hours of talk time.

Two great tastes that taste great together: the Motorola RAZR V3 and AT&T's GoPhone prepaid plans.

AT&T GoPhone Service
AT&T's pay-as-you-go GoPhone plans are wireless plans made easy. Simply pay in advance for what you need. No long-term contracts, credit checks, or surprise bills--just all the benefits of wireless, with no complications. In addition, AT&T's Rollover Balance feature lets you carry over your unused account balance when you purchase refill minutes before your balance expires. Other great features include no long distance or roaming fees across AT&T's national service area, the ability to track usage via text messages with an updated balance after each call, and the ability to refill your minutes 24-hours a day, 7-days a week. You can also cancel any time without penalty.

With the Pay As You Go option, you'll choose the rate plan that fits your needs and then start dialing. Your balance is lowered each time you make or receive a call or use services such as text messaging. You can then refill the minutes in your account via the Internet, using your phone (by calling 611 from your cell), or purchasing a pre-paid card in denominations up to $100.

With the Pick Your Plan option, you'll set up monthly, automatic payments with your credit/debit card or checking account. If you need to make more calls or you use up your balance during the month, just add minutes to your account at any time--you'll pay the same per-minute rate as your plan. You can buy more minutes in increments of $15 and $25 using your credit/debit card or checking account.

Phone Features
The RAZR V3 has a large 176 x 220 color display with 262,000 colors dominates the inside of the top cover, and a supplementary 96 x 80 full-color display on the outside that can display pictures, time, call information, battery and signal strength, and more. Most of the phone's features and on-screen menus are controlled by a five-way center button on the handset's backlit control pad, which is precision cut from a single sheet of nickel-plated copper alloy. A charging port and USB data cable port is placed on the bottom of the phone.

The RAZR V3's internal phone book can hold up to 1000 contacts, while the phone's picture ID system allows you to assign pictures to your most common callers. It also supports polyphonic ringtones as well as MP3 ringers, allowing you to use portions of your favorite songs to alert you to incoming calls. There's even an included application, MotoMixer, that lets you mix your own ringtones. For times when you want to be discreet, there's a vibrating alert. A built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear while voice activated dialing makes calling your friends, family and associates as easy as saying their names.

The RAZR V3 is a messaging and wireless Internet powerhouse. Support is built in for sending and receiving pictures, text, graphics, sound and video via messages. When used in combination with the phone's built-in still and video camera, MMS opens up a whole new world of messaging fun. Instant messaging is also included (with support for AOL, Yahoo!, MSN, and ICQ), and the phone ships with a built-in email client with support for POP3, IMAP4 and SMTP protocols. iTap text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit-- a plus for mobile email and text messaging users.

A number of handy software tools are bundled with the RAZR V3 including a voice memo recorder, a calculator with currency converter, a calendar and an alarm clock. Use the phone's Bluetooth capability to set up a wireless link with a Bluetooth accessory or connect to a computer or hand-held device to exchange and synchronize data. The phone also supports the SyncML PC synchronization standard, can be used with Motorola's Mobile Phone Tools PC application to manage and synchronize contacts, calendar and other data with your PC.

The phone's VGA camera features a 4x zoom, image quality options, and an auto-timer so you can be in your pictures, too. Capture stills and then send them to your friends via MMS messaging or email, or to your PC via USB or Bluetooth. The phone is capable of MPEG4 video playback when you receive a video message, or if you upload video to the phone via USB or Bluetooth. The RAZR V3 also supports custom graphics for wallpapers so you can dress up the phone to suit your fancy.

Vital Statistics
The Motorola RAZR V3 weighs 3.35 ounces and measures 3.86 x 2.09 x 0.54 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 6.67 hours of digital talk time, and up to 250 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the 850/900/1800/1900 MHz GSM/GPRS frequencies.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Love mine thus far!, May 27, 2008

This review is from: Motorola RAZR V3 Blue Prepaid GoPhone (AT&T) with $35 Airtime Included (Wireless Phone Accessory)

I do admit I haven't had mine long and I was very sceptical on buying due to bad reviews. I'm glad I bought one anyways because I love this phone. I read several bad things that go wrong with this phone and I haven't experience any of them.
1.GREAT signal, haven't had any dropped calls.
2.Camera is better than most but it clearly wouldn't beat an actual camera. I especially like being able to close my phone and see the pic I'm about to take on the display screen. GREAT for self pics.
3.I like texting and for me the buttons are perfect.
4.I've noticed my battery needs to charge more often than my original Motorola but I spend alot more time on this one and it has more to power. Charge it while you sleep at night and you shouldn't have a problem.
5. IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH DROPPING PHONES THIS ONES NOT FOR YOU. I read to many reviews complaining about easily the phone breaks if you drop it. Well my response is DUH!!! Hold it once and you'll know that. I highly doubt that was on Motorola's mind when attempting the skinniest phone.
6.It's a good looking phone.
7.Graphics are NICE.
8.Sound is clear.
9.Speaker phone works great.
10.Only disappointment in this phone they didn't even bother on a plug in for wired mic. Forced Bluetooth technology SHAME SHAME MOTOROLA! I'm over it I wanted a wireless anyways but never forcefully.
Oh yea and AT&T has great prepaid service.
I will be updating this if I have any problems in the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars good phone for emergencies, December 12, 2008

Trish - See all my reviews

This is a good phone for me. I am a working mom who doesn't talk all of the time on the phone and only needs it for emergencies. No major bells and whistles. Simple and exactly what I need.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great phone, August 1, 2008

By 

Dawson's Creek fan - See all my reviews

This review is from: Motorola RAZR V3 Blue Prepaid GoPhone (AT&T) with $35 Airtime Included (Wireless Phone Accessory)

This is a nice phone for the price. The blue is a little darker than the picture, but it is a really nice deep blue color. The assembly of the phone is fairly simple and works instantly. This phone is great for texting with easy buttons to use, and the camera is also a very nice feature. This is a perfect phone, and with the prepaid options it is very affordable. I ordered it on a Thursday and it came exactly a week later. Overall I would highly recommend this phone!
