Recently we’ve had some time to sit down and do a full video review of our Samsung Messager II cell phone using Cricket Wireless phone service. This tri-band CDMA phone works great across several networks including MetroPCS. However, this video review was conducted in Las Vegas, NV on Cricket 3G cell towers. (Read Full Review…)
Samsung Messager II for Cricket Wireless is an amazing cell phone. It is easily one of the best handsets Cricket has to offer. It nails the basic functions with consistently clear call quality, a full-keyboard for easy text messaging/e-mailing, and tremendous multimedia functionality. If you are looking for a candy-bar style phone that just plain works great than this is the mobile phone for you. It pairs excellent with Cricket’s unlimited calling / text plans with no contracts. One of the only negatives was the fact you have to purchase MicroSD card, USB Cable, and bluetooth handset separately. However, this is to be expected. The other issue was a candy-bar style handset needs to be locked/unlocked to prevent in pocket dialing. It also makes for an uncomfortable positioning in-between your shoulder/ear when going “makeshift handsfree”. The bottom line is the Samsung Messager 2 is an excellent and affordable handset that just plain works great. (READ MORE…)

Complete Review:
The Samsung Messager II is one of those cell phones that just plain works great. It really feels great in the hand, not too heavy and at the same time enough weight to make you feel comfortable. A simple elegant slide reveals the full size keyboard hiding underneath the main handset. The battery lasts forever, it has an expandable MicroSD slot, a quick access multimedia button and much more. It is simple to use for the “basic” user yet it has tons of features for those willing to explore. The phone utilizes cricket’s widget dashboard which gives you quick access to the mobile web, weather, sports, chat, news and more. However, if you want to access the traditional menu it can be done simply by pressing the default menu button on the top left corner.
Which brings about a good point. After purchasing this phone you will want to quickly access the settings from the default menu and disable the key button sound. It gets soooo annoying sooo fast! The way you learn more about this phone is just by playing around with it. In only a few minutes time you should easily be able to be sending out picture texts to all your friends. One great feature is when you slide out the keyboard the screen automatically flips from portrait to landscape mode. This makes typing out lengthy e-mails or texts a breeze. You’ll probably want to buy a 4GB MicroSD card and load it up with some MP3′s, videos, and other multimedia. For the demo we loaded the Samsung Messager II with tons of songs. This phone is somewhat special in the fact you can use MP3′s on the MicroSD card as your ringtone. Therefore you don’t have to waste money purchasing ringtones! If you don’t end up buying a MicroSD card that’s alright read our guide to downloading free cricket ringtones. Overall, you really can’t go wrong with this handset. The best way to put it, is it just works. It’s affordable and functional. This is easily one of Cricket Wireless & MetroPCS best phones. (Read More…)

If you are lucky enough to live in one of the 35 US States that MyCricket is currently available then you are in for a treat. Currently they service over 4.6 million customers across the US. They are well known for being an “Alternative” wireless provider. They target customers who usually wouldn’t qualify for service with other major national providers such as AT&T, Sprint, or Verizon. They offer a great value opposed to other lesser pre-paid wireless options. A couple criticisms are that they charge full price for phones. This is attributed to the fact that they don’t require any signed contracts and you can cancel service during any month of your plan. However, in recent past they have been getting much better about providing affordable phone options. They regularly offer phones under $50 that include a free months service, free shipping, and no signed contracts. Another problem in the past was their phone selection. They offered a very limited number of phones. This has become much better in the past few months. They now offer a fairly broad selection of phones with a variety of features. They also allow for phones from other providers such as Verizon or Sprint to be “Flashed” to their phone service. Other problems include their service area. The main coverage map is limited however, they have contracts with national providers to allow for full national service. One of the biggest benefits Cricket Wireless offers is unlimited international texting to Mexico. If Cricket Wireless is available in your area for Wireless service or Broadband internet you should certainly check them out! (Read More…)
