Perfect phone
- January 18, 2012
This phone has NEVER failed me in any way.
I've had this phone for years and it has endured all kinds of (unintended) abuse: drops, moisture, etc.
Works great in every way: I can call and receive calls, and I can send and receive texts. I use the calendar to schedule important events, the notepad for quick notes, and the alarms in the mornings.
It's got a bunch of other freatures too, but I don't need them so I don't use them.
I guess they don't make'em like they used to...

We have had this phone for over 5 years and it still works just fine and holds a charge well. It started out as my husbands work phone, then when my son turned 16 he got it for about a year. Then I when I washed my Upstage phone and killed it, it became mine! It makes calls and gets them, and i'm even starting to text on it! I have dropped it repeatedly and it works like a champ! It's also small enough to fit in my back pocket and not be noticable! Great Phone!

I love this phone. It is small enough that I can fit it into any purse or pocket. Never had the battery go - I plug it in only every other day. It does exactly what I need - Calling and texting. Have had it with me 24-7 for the last two years. I will be very sad when it finally goes.

Good Basic Phone
- May 2, 2010
All I wanted was a basic phone that would last me through law school. Three years later, the phone is still going strong. It's not a fancy phone, just does the basics which is exactly what I wanted.

cannot wait for 2 years to be up!
- April 18, 2009
I guess I was spoiled by my former phone. though I just need a basic phone and I like the looks and feel of this one, iit drives me a little nuts. The battery doesn't even seem to last 24 hours -- even if I am not using it! And when the battery dies, it gives no warning, except a sound as it turns off. If I don't happen to be next to the phone when it turns off, I have no idea that the battery is dead. Also with missing calls...if it is in my purse and I don't hear it ring, there is no other audible warning that I can tell except for a red light. If it is in my purse, I may not notice I have a message for hours. Also, the ring is so quiet -- I tried to find one that could get my attention, but finally had to leave vibrate on too...just so I have a better chance of knowing that it is ringing. Also, when I make a call, even with a strong signal, sometimes it takes forever to begin ringing... Sigh! I have a year to go before I can get a good price on a replacement phone. Cannot wait!

Battery life
- March 16, 2009
My son has had 3 phones so far. This last one has lasted about 4 months. After a period of time charging the phone (which he does every night), he can't get it to charge. Right now he is in the process of switching batteries every day with his father (since they have the same phone) so he can get his battery charged. This is just crazy. If they realize that there is a design flaw with the battery/charging (which they told me they realized there was), then just give us a different phone all together. Makes no sense.

Ok simple phone
- August 19, 2008
I just wanted a simple phone to use when away from home, I don't text, but could if I wanted. I don't use the camera thats what I have a digital camera for. This XL160 does the job, the battery life isn't as long as the previous cell phones I've had, but it does the job when away from home. My calls don't drop when talking, buttons and features are great for my small hands. All and all this phone fits my needs.

Could be much better.
- August 6, 2008
I liked my prior phone from Sprint a lot better. The poor battery life is not apparent in mine but I do keep it plugged in when I can.
The buttons are too small for my hands and I really have a hard time with the flip open because of its size. Had I known more about this phone, I would have chosen a different one. It was free with our plan update so I guess the value is OK.
Better luck next time to all who have this rather unpopular phone.

*THIS PHONE STINKS*
- July 3, 2008
This phone is by far the worst piece of junk EVER! I have had it for a LoNg THREE months. It is slow, I type in a number and it will not appear on the screen for a while, sometimes jumbled up and backwords. Then it would drop calls all the time. My final and worst complaint, I heard rambling in my phone one day. I opened the back and was looking around the battery and all of a sudden 3 tiny little screws randomly FELL out!
I have never not once droped it.
*THIS PHONE STINKS* I bought a new phone...and am going to have my fun distoying this one :O)

- June 27, 2008
This is by far the worse cell phone I have ever owned. As soon as my contract is up, I will be going over to Verizon, maybe sooner, who knows. Like so many of these other comments, it does not hold a strong signal at all, and after reading these other comments, I may be switching to Verizon in the next 3 weeks, I will at least see this month bill through to completion.

Terrible Phone
- June 22, 2008
I wanted a basic phone that looks good and the LX160 fit the bill. However, you would think that without any bells and whistles there would be excellent battery life. My assumption was wrong. This phone has the worst battery life I have ever had since the 90's. Reception is also lacking but may be a Sprint issue as this is my first phone with Spring. I was a long time AT&T customer. I have been using this phone for months now and can tell you that you should look elsewhere for a basic phone.

No Reception
- June 18, 2008
After a year, the phone no longer gets any reception. It worked fine the first year I had it, but now I no longer have reception in any of the spots I used to. The phone's user design is clunky for a simple, basic user. I would prefer fewer features and options and a very basic phone (e.g. I have to scroll down my contacts for each call I make). Also, voicemail did not keep track of calls made to it... the numbers did not show up on the phone. Overall, not a good choice for a basic phone.

My old phone was much better, the Sprint Rep said this was a big upgrade from what I had before. Maybe on paper, but that's about it. The buttons are in a lousy place (side of phone). The sound quality is not good. Some ring tones are loud, some aren't. I need to charge phone every night or it dies, this has been since I bought the phone. It's just not user friendly.
