Amazon.com Product Description
If you need a simple, no-frills phone that keeps you in touch, the Nokia 1600 deserves a serious look. This compact, lightweight candybar phone features a color screen with 65K colors, 20 polyphonic ringtones, MP3 ringtone capability, icon-based phonebook, and speaking clock with alarm. It's the perfect complement to a Net10 prepaid wireless account. 
The candybar-styled Nokia 1600 offers long battery life, with up to 5.5 hours of talk time and 18 days of standby. | Net10 Service
The Net10 pay-as-you-go wireless service offers all local, long distance and roaming calls at one low price of 10 cents per minute. All Net10 prepaid wireless service is provided by TracFone Wireless--America's #1 prepaid wireless company with a national footprint covering 99 percent of the U.S. population. There are no contracts, credit checks, monthly fees, security deposits, activation or deactivation charges, or age restrictions. All Net10 handsets have a display that shows the actual airtime balance on the phone's display for ease of tracking usage. Net10 handsets also carry an "instant refill" feature that allows users to add airtime directly from the handset on a real-time basis. Key digital features include free call waiting, free caller ID, free voicemail and text messaging at 5 cents per message. Phone Features
At first, the 1600 looks like a mild-mannered candybar phone. Looks can be deceiving, though. The 96 x 68 pixel display, which features support for 65K colors, gives the user a crystal clear screen, which makes it easy to type text messages and place calls. An internal antenna means there's nothing to snag in your pocket. The simplified menu and navigation with 4-way scroll key and easy-to-use key pad make for easier phone calls and text messaging. The 1600's address book can store multiple phone numbers, as well as physical and email addresses. Meanwhile, the phone's built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear. Polyphonic ringtones are included, as is a vibrating alert. Ringer IDs let you assign specific ringtones to particular callers. The 1600 is a natural mobile messaging companion with support for text and picture messaging. T9 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. Other features include: - Stores up to 200 contact entries (plus 250 stored on SIM card)
- Full color-display, screensavers and wallpaper
- Store up to 60 SMS text messages
- Full duplex speakerphone
- Reminders
- Headset jack
- Changeable faceplates
Vital Statistics
The Nokia 1600 weighs 2.8 ounces and measures 4.09 x 1.77 x 0.67 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 5.5 hours of talk time, and up to 18 days of digital standby time. It runs on the GSM 850 and 1900 frequencies.

I absolutely love this phone!! Especially Net10 has been great to me. There is this thing called the Net10 unlimited where without a contract you literally have unlimited texting, minutes, and web browsing. Plus I love the phone! The Net 10 bundles are great because they can be used for international calling and Purchase of Data calling.
The most basic phone on the market October 27, 2009

I owned this phone for 2 years before finally upgrading. It is the most basic phone I have ever run across. 2 years ago I got it in a pinch because I was so ready to dump AT&T that I grabbed the cheapest phone i could find. I never dreamed I would keep it for 2 years. I guess the main reason I did hold onto it was because I really never had any real issues with it. True, it won't show the time and your remaining minutes on the screen at the same time (one or the other) and the alarm feature stunk (1 of every 2 times I set the alarm it went off at some randomn time waking me up at 2:12 in the morning... don't count on the alarm, it surely doesn't work very well. And all this time I thought it was maybe a malfunction of my phone, but it sounds like other people had the same trouble). Otherwise it's pretty decent. The sound quality is good, the reception is spot on- even 2 floors underground in a parking gararge. It's cheap, and with 300 minutes, it's actually free. So you can't go wrong, IF, you don't want much out of a phone.
 Basic Phone Service. September 2, 2009
Roberto Vitale (Orlando, FL USA)
It works well for the price. Consider it for just basic phone use. Forget about customer service. It stinks!. However, calls and gets calls for a modest price. That is it.
 Phone is standard Nokia, NET10 is a nightmare March 9, 2009

The 1600 is Nokia's entry level phone with few frills over its ancestors. It's the same screen size, menu structure, and candy bar factor that made them famous, though they obviously have other, fancier phones now. Quality, signal and battery has been good. The older set often complains about the small screen and buttons. The alternative is far more complicated user interfaces and more, smaller keys or touchscreen. There really isn't a phone made for old folks. Sorry.
Now, NET10. Some people love them. I did too. They're great if you never have to deal with them. Best analogy I have is a slumlord. You pay your rent on time and they leave you alone. But if you need something from them, forget it. First thing I tried to do was port my old T-Mobile number. That got wedged up. I was never able to get a handset to work with the phone. I asked them, via the customer service Web form, if this phone used standard 2.5mm headsets or if I needed the Nokia one -- I tried three off-brand ones and none worked. The cut and paste reply had absolutely nothing to do with the question. So I thought I'd buy another identical phone and try it. The form on the website to move service from one NET10 phone to another gave an error that did not apply, saying that I entered the phone number wrong. Not only was the phone number correct, but you don't enter it at all -- it has it in the system and it merely shows it to you. Trying to add it as a new phone with a new number, it assigned the same number as the other phone, making both the new and old phone inoperable. Automated diagnostic stuff on the website couldn't fix it. Their overseas operators only have a few scripts and none apply. I've worked customer service for a cell company before and it's not pleasant. I know the turn over rate is high and you usually never get to see the phones you're supposed to be supporting. But my employer at least allowed me to engage in dialogue with the people I talked to, even though I had to read a lot of required script. These guys only get script. Clearly they were told that if they improvised anything, they'd be fired or punished. So they have humans they're using as robots. I have a profound distaste for NET10 for that alone. That's just uncool.
Customer service and the website runs you in circles. NET10's idea of automating common customer service requests via forms on a website to save costs is a brilliant one. Someone should actually implement the idea. NET10 sure didn't manage to.
I've spent four days and countless hours trying to get NET10 to perform one of the most commonly required services -- transfer service from one phone to another -- and have failed miserably.
 problems receiving text messages from some other carriers? July 25, 2008
Boulware (atlanta, ga)
3 out of 6 found this review helpful
My Net10 Nokia 1600 was unable to receive text messages from a Sprint Palm Centro. I contacted Net10 tech support, who insisted that the problem was on Sprint's end. Net10 tech support couldn't understand that a one-way conversation via text messaging isn't very useful, whether it's Sprint's problem or not. (I have never had any problems sending messages from the Centro to any other phone.) I was hoping Net10 would at least try to figure out what was wrong. Maybe it was the admittedly old 1600; maybe it was network incompatibility; maybe it was Sprint's fault. I'll never know because tech support simply refused to help me, saying that my messaging was "working properly."
