I had the same problem with my t509 order. The chat was useless, after a few minutes they just asked to call my phone and do some multiple choice background/identity questions to check for anti fraud purposes. Got my order approved and shipped in under 12 hours

If anyone is interested I have the V195, reception is not as good as the Razr V3. But then again I get poor reception from Tmobile (New York), only the Razr V3 and Sony Ericsson W600 has held up with no dropped calls. For $35 its a great deal. Out of all the budget phones from Samsung, Nokia etc. I think the V195 looks the best and is most comfortable to use. Nice find OP.

I've had a V195 for about 5 months. I recently asked for and received unlock instructions from T-Mobile. See this.

Yep, worked for me as well. Just call Tmobile up and say you are going on a business trip/vacation and you want to use the phone abroad. It says 90 days but I called on the first week just to try it out and they emailed me the unlock code withing 24 hours.

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.

Good deal on a good phone.
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.
This phone is indeed a quad-band phone, and is definetly worth more than $40, but not just because of quad-band, but because it's one of the best "basic" phones. It has good voice quality, and VERY long battery life, supports bluetooth, and has good keypad and overall design. It is still considered a basic phone because it does not have features like a camera, high resolution screen, mp3 player, or high-speed data (3G). So it's not a multimedia powerhouse, but it's great for making calls.
With regard to unlocking the phone, you should be able to get T-Mobile to give you the unlock code. After unlocking the phone, you can verify that it's unlocked BY PUTTING IN A SIM CARD FROM A DIFFERENT CARRIER (not T-Mobile) !!!! For example, a cingular sim card. If you don't have one, ask a friend that has a cingular phone, or buy one on e-bay for a few bucks.
Note that you get $10 worth of prepaid minutes with a new tmo2go phone, so this is defintely a great deal considering that this phone goes for about $75 on e-bay without a sim card. You need to add $90 to get to the gold rewards level, which ensures that your minutes don't expire for an entire year. See T-Mobile website for explanation of the gold rewards and cost of recharge cards. Also howardforums.com has a forum deidcated to tmo2go users.

I got this phone a few weeks ago for the same price(with the bonus $25 card, which I sold on eBay for $23), and I have been really happy with it. Like someone said, this is a great 'basic' phone. It works extremely well with my Plantronics 510 bluetooth headset. People cannot tell that I am using a bluetooth headphone. I live in the city of Portland, OR, and I always get full signal strength.

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.
jasblak said: This does look like a nice basic phone and a decent deal. However, this phone is #1 on the list of phones emitting the highest radiation. Just FYI.
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.

I faced this problem twice before with the Nokia 6030. I called that number and was asked to go to a retail store which said that they didn't honor the rebate as well as the $25 card I live in Arlington, VA.
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.

Did you try it with the other sim in it?
I don't have another SIM card yet.

Below you will see the Instructions for unlocking your Motorola V195 device.
1. Place a non-T Mobile SIM card into the handset and turn the handset on. 2. The handset display should read "Enter Special Code" 3. Enter the unlock code and press "OK".
