| Kitty65747's Full Review: Kyocera 2135 Cell Phone |
When I came in to get my most recent phone plan I traded in some very old analog phones. I didn't really feel like spending too much money so I asked what the best deal on a phone they could give was. The salesman said that he could give me this Kyocera 2135 for free. So this was the phone I took home.
The Kyocera 2135 is much better than my previously owned 4 year old phone. The Kyocera is a great size, the menus are easy to see and easy to navigate through, and the battery life is great. The only problems with the phone are the lack of volume in the ear piece, the loud ringer, and the reception isn't always so great.
This phone is the perfect size to fit just about anywhere.. about 4.5 inches tall, by about 1.25 inches wide. It is small enough to be convient, but big enough that it won't easily get lost. With the smaller phones, they can be lost very easily because they slide inbetween things and just aren't noticable.
The menues on this phone are very user friendly. It took no time at all to learn how to use every feature on the phone without even bothering to pull out the maunel. The battery life on these phones is wonderful also. If I don't use the phone, it will stay charged about 3 days. It has lasted as long as 6 days in a row sitting in my car. If you talk on the phone quite a bit I suggest charging every 24 to 36 hours.
The volume when someone is talking on the other end is very low at it's loudest. I can hardly hear the person I'm talking to sometimes. Also, the ringer volume is extreamly loud on the phone. You have a choice basically of silent or painfully loud.
The reception on this phone is pretty good. It doesn't have as many rough spots as some phones, but more expensive phones by the same manufacuter on the same plan in the same area have better reception by far. Overall I don't have many problems at all.
I would suggest this phone to anyone that just wants a phone for general use. If you don't really care what you get and you just want a phone that works and will serve you well, this is the one for you. A good phone for the 'poor college student'.
