I bought my V195 on eBay. I went through the unlock procedure that T-Mobile sent me but there was no "SIM Unlock" option on the final menu. There was just the option for "Browser Setup". I'm guessing that means it is already unlocked. I've asked T-Mobile but I haven't heard back.


Did you try it with the other sim in it?

First let me correct all the "geniuses" here that seem to have been born yesterday.....

The $25 free recharge card that comes with a new T-Mobile to-go phone package, has been appearing on and off for a VERY long time, not just recently. I got one more than a year ago when I bought a tmo2go phone. BUT, you CANT count on the discount which lowers the price of the V195 to $39.99, to remain for long. In fact, you can be sure it won't last long, and most likely by the time the free $25 recharge card comes back, the price of the V195 will go back up to $129.

i don't know, it's been at this price for awhile now... i don't think it's just a "special" that's only around for a limited time. it seems more likely for t-mo to sell out and take this phone off of their prepaid phones list (that happened with the nokia 6103 last month) than to raise the price. so it may be worth it to wait for the card... that comes around about every 3 weeks it seems. just my 2 cents.

Your link is for V195s so is the radiation the same??

Almost identical to the V195 in form and function, the V195s adds support for T-Mobile's My Faves service and thankfully, it offers improved audio quality as well.

Just my 2 cents. I had the Nokia 6103 and the Motorola v195. I found the v195 to be much more user friendly and had a brighter screen. With the Nokia, I could not see the screen in daylight to make any calls. Also, I believe the v195 has more memory. I picked up the Cardio Systems Scala-500 bluetooth headset from CompUSA ($10 after rebate, past deal) and the color scheme matches perfectly.

Probably made in China!

I assume since this is GSM it will work in Europe(Croatia specifically?)
