Motorola M3788 Reviews

I have a Motorola 3788 on the one2one network, which can be purchased for around £40 now, with £10 credit (when you register the phone). For a cheap phone, it works really well, and is suitable for putting in the glove compartment for emergencies only, because you only have to credit the phone, or make a call once every 365 days - ...  Read the complete review

Before I decided to buy a mobile phone I pounded my brain trying to decide what sort of user I would be . I finally came to the conclusion I would initially be a light user as most of the day I have access to a land-line , and the rest of the day I would be driving and not wanting to attract the long arm of the law . Plus most places I ...  Read the complete review

When I got my Motorola M3788 (what a catchy name :), I honestly thought it was the mutt's nuts. I hadn't owned a mobile before this one, and the feeling of having a pay-as-you-go, which was exclusively mine, was great. The phone wasn't bad to look at either. My parents went quite in for mobiles around the mid-90's onwards ...  Read the complete review

Well, I never normally buy Motorola products, but I have to say that this one came out on top. Since I had never owned a mobile phone before I was reluctant to buy just any mobile that I came across. I was looking to get a nice simple phone that wasn’t too complicated but not too primitive either. I bought a variation to the ...  Read the complete review

OK, lets get something straight - this is NOT a fashion accessory, it will not make you look cool, nor will it let you forget you are lugging it around. However, what it does do, it does fairly well. This phone is fairly limited on features - no clock for example, which is a bit of a pain when you get a missed call, plus if the ...  Read the complete review

The Motorala m3788 is a basic phone to say the least. It has few options and options that can't even compare to the newer phones of today. The phone book can hold about 80 names which isn't exactly huge and there is a limited amount of ring tones available. There is also no ring tone composer which means you will always ...  Read the complete review

Hmmmm, yes, the M3788. I've never owned one of these. It just doesn't have the features that I personally look for in a phone, and besides, as I prefer the contract route I can get phones that are a little (or a lot!) more upmarket without parting with any money for the handset itself. Anyway, to the M3788: ...  Read the complete review

If you want a phone for occaisional use, then a Motorola M3788 works well enough, and is cheap. I've just bought a new one, to replace a phone that was nicked, on Orange Just Talk for £20. This was a price which you could find in a lot of places a few weeks ago. I tried all the UK mobile phone WWW sites and the best I could ...  Read the complete review

Having dropped my Motorola c520, I needed to replace it and ended up paying the paltry sum of twenty quid for a new m3788e (basically the same phone). That's five quid less than a sim card on it's own - so if you can get one at this price, get it for spare parts if you want and don't register it; the sim card as you can use ...  Read the complete review

This is a good phone for children or for someone who is going to keep it in their car or handbag or even for emergencies. If you like motorolas and want to buy one, I would recommend the Talkabout or V as they are so near in price to each other that it’s hardly worth buying one that can’t do as much for a price difference of ...  Read the complete review

I'm sorry Motorola but i just do not like this phone at all. I know its a popular phone and that its cheap which is great and suits many people on a tight budget or the 'emergencies only' user. I'm currenty using a Motorola T2288 but only as i brought it for cheaper than one of these and it has the 3 months of free ...  Read the complete review

This is a plain simple looking phone with nothing fancy to it but I find it is great. I am with the orange network and the Calls are quite cheap. It is 10p off peak to another user and 20p on peak, I have no house phone anymore and rely on this and I find that the vouchers last a good while. You can store names in it and you can also ...  Read the complete review

There are some aspects of the phone that should be considered before purchasing this phone. I got this phone at the beginning of June 2000, as it was at a great price of £30 at the Orange Shop. On pay as you go the rates are also pretty good. But some things I, and others familiar with this phone are irritating.The main point is that ...  Read the complete review

I own the Motorola m3788e on Orange Pay As You Go. There. That's the useless info out of the way. What do I think of it? Well, first of all, I have to say it's a great phone for beginners. If you're just starting out and you're a bit dazed by WAP, dual band and so on, then get this phone. It's simple, ...  Read the complete review

I have a Motorola M3788 on One2One, and I've had it for nearly 2 months now. The first thing I noticed was the lack of features such as musical ringtones and games. But I've soon come to realise that I don't need these. I would probably spend most of the battery life trying out all the ring tones, and most of them ...  Read the complete review

I bought this mobile a few months ago for just £30, which included a £5 Talktime. The price of this phone is a lot less than nearly all others around at the moment but it has very few features like downloadable ringtones, games or even a clock, and is rather big and bulky. The features that you have got are, however, sufficient for ...  Read the complete review

2 months old and my Motorola has died. Motorola asked me to get it ready to be collected, then it wasnt collected (1 wasted day in). Then they needed all the information again, and another day staying in until it was finally collected 5 days after reporting the fault - oh and i have to stay in all day thursday to accept delivery of a ...  Read the complete review

This is a good budget phone, it has many features including text messages, numerous ring tones and others. it is built like a tank and would be ideal if you have dropped your phone and broken it in the past. The features you can use depend on the tariff that you are on. there is a silent mode for public places and a good battery life. ...  Read the complete review

If you are a first time buyer of mobile phone you might be attracted to this phone because it is so cheap, but do not be to eager to get it. The phone is cheap but basically you get what you pay for. It is a basic phone with few features. It has sms but that is about it. It includes 11 ringtones. It is a large heavy phone which might be ...  Read the complete review

We recently got this phone for my wife after we had been sharing a Motorola Montreal. (A bit of history required here). The Montreal came under various names depending which network you were buying it for. They were Montreal, C520 and D520, if I remember right. These were very similar to the M3788, except an annoying ...  Read the complete review
