my motorola motofone f3

the very first phone. i used it. i loved it. its working. its cute. its lightweight. its cheap [even if i lost it, i can buy it again without leaving too much hole].  good battery life. clear conversations. hot!.

but

its not that easy to use. display is ugly. limited character support. sluggish. hanged often. only sim memory. only meant for enthusiast.

again but …

they love this phone.

it has useful advanced command not accessible directly through the menu. here’s the list:

Phone Setting	Number Code

Restricted Calling (Phonebook only) ON | OFF	160|161
Keypad tones ON | OFF	250|251

Voice Prompts ON | OFF (can also be toggled by pressing [action] on the volume menu)	510|511

Those are the ‘official’ codes, covered in the manual. Now for the experimental part…
