Description:

The Samsung T301 is one of Tracfone's newest phone. Unlike their existing models, this phone is a slider type phone where the keypad slides out. The phone features a large 2" color screen that is bright and easy to read with a sliding keypad that has great tactile response. Even though the screen is quite large, the sliding keyboard allows the phone to still be very compact. Another notable item on the Samsung T301 is that it improves on Tracfone's new data offerings by giving you the ability to download MP3 ringtones and Java games which are unavailable on any other Tracfone. The phone also features a 1.3 mega pixel camera with an excellent zoom feature. As far as functionality goes, the signal strength and voice quality are both excellent and do not disappoint. Overall, this is an excellent and durable handset that is built to last. I really couldn't find or point out anything I didn't like about it (Built in MP3 player and/or video recording capabilities would have been nice like the Samsung SCH-r610 which is a souped up version of this phone. ). This phone is easily one of the best Tracfones to date and adds yet another style to the Tracfone lineup for those who do not want the typical candy bar or flip style phones. Tracfone did a good job keeping the price point rather low for a phone of this quality and since it includes the Double Minutes for Life, it is an Excellent deal. If you are in the market for a new Tracfone I highly recommend this one. Check out the Motorola EM326g from Net10 if you want something with music features

Samsung Slider

I just received the Samsung Slider Tracfone but the manual it comes with is useless. How do I set up voicemail? The directions say to press "1" for 5 seconds and the voicemail dials up and then follow the instructions. However, there aren't any instructions to set up a new message box.

Re:Samsung Slider

Voicemail set up is not phone specific. It depends on your carrier which is most likely AT&T. All pressing the 1 does is to dial the voicemail. If no options are given for set up then you may need to get it reset by customer service.

e-mail question

Purchased a TRACFONE Samsung T310. Was setting up contact info, and came to an E-MAIL field. What's the process for entering the "@" sign? Like, abc@email.com. Is there a special keypad button?

re:e-mail question

Repeatedly press the 1 key. It will show the @ symbol after a few presses.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Great for Grads!

Bought this as a graduation gift for my son. Since he will be moving out of the house and absorbing most of his own expenses, tracfone offer's the most minutes for your dollar. Each minute you buy, you get one free and the phone itself comes with standard features cell users ought to have. He's been using it for a couple days now and hasn't found a single issue worth complaining about. It's no iPhone, but the pairing of the t301 and tracfone is a reliable partnership.

Problem

I also got a replacement phone from TracFone, this same model. One major problem is with the downloading of ringtones, it just doesn't work. Not only that, but Tracfone's customer service absolutely sucks. and that was about a week ago. Can someone tell me how to fix this issue?

How to activate speaker

I have just received this phone and can't find anywhere how to activate the speaker on this phone. It is probably so simple I missed it. Help please!

re: Speaker Phone

I believe that you need to push the OK button to activate the speaker phone.

Samsung T301

I have been a TRACFONE user in excess of 10 years BUT this phone (SamsungT301), intended to be an uprade, is very disappointing thus far.

When I power on the screen lights up only briefly with the TRACFONE logo and remindere about adding airtime. Screen is lit for no more than a couple seconds.
I should note SAMSUNG appears on the screen and then it goes to the TRACFONE logo.

With my other TRACFONES (there have been three) the charging process was simple and quiet PLUS when it was complete a note appear on the screen denoting that.

With this one I get the constant beep and flashing across the screen. After many hours (8) the device did not show Charge Complete just more beeps.

Now I recognize I could be screwing up somewhere along the line with this phone but it should be simpler to use than what I am experiencing.

Any others with similar issues?
