Nextel ic502 Cell Phone Reviews

by Stephanie -- March 24th 2008 -- Laurel, DE

The phone is great, however I was more impressed by the service I received from Lets Talk. I had a very bad experience with Wirefly and when trying to resolve the problem I found it very difficult to understand their customer service, which were located in another country. At LetsTalk.com, customer service is located here in the US and were very friendly and more importantly, easy to speak to and understand.

Call Quality with the Nextel ic502 has been good so far and the it is very user friendly. The design is good, however, the battery life is substandard. I have to charge the battery daily even with minimal usage.

My son has already chewed on the antana I've dropped the phone as has my son and it seems to be holding up fairly well. It woke me up at 4 am last night and told me I had a voice mail that I didn't have but other than that I'm happy with it.

This phone is easy to use and the size is great. The only thing is that the battery doesn't last as long as the specs say. I can have it on the charger all day and it last for 3 or 4 days. Then other times I can have it on the charger all day and it last 3 or 4 hours. When you call Motorola they will send you a battery back up for a low price of 49.99 which they say is a discount price but if you ask to purchase a spare battery it is 49.99. In my opinion this phone sucks.

The one thing I noticed right away on this phone is that there is no real call waiting feature. If you pick up the call on the other line, you will hang up on the first call. There is also no 3 way calling feature. Disappointing! The cheaper version of this phone that we upgraded from did have that. Also, the speakers sound ok the first few months, but become garbled and indistinct after that. The volume controls for the Nextel always goes way down for each next call. Frustrating. Not a great phone, and it does drop more calls while driving that my previous cheaper Nextel. It seems that since Sprint took over, the service on the phone is absolutely horrible.

This is the worst phone I have ever used...it keeps cutting off in the middle of phone calls....and when wanting to contact a contact, you have to scroll through the whole list, you cant put in the first letter of the name and go to that part of the list.....wouldn't recommend this phone to anyone.....

So far everything is great! I haven't had a drop call, I can get reception where my husband cant with his Nextel, my battery last for 2-3 days ( I don't talk a lot on the phone, but I do use the walkie a lot) so as of right now I love it. The hearing is great-I've had other phone where everything is muffled and this one isn't.

I hate that this phone does not have the option to upgrade your antenna /clarity like other Nextel phones by pressing the #9 right arrow , then up arrow. That was a good feature for bad areas.The next thing I do not like at all, is that sometimes I will be on the phone and this phone will completely drop out or disconnect. This is no good.

The phone is cool but you cannot download many things to it. Also the walkie talkie volume does not go high enough nor does it stay on with the person you are talking to. I have had better walkie talkie phones. If I had the chance I would trade it in for another phone.

I call Sprint and Nextel- Sprint Nextel Hell! I have had nothing but problems with my Nextel service so I "attempted" to upgrade to the new Hybrid IC 502 phone. It has now been 2 weeks and I have spent 7 hours on the phone and have talked to 15 people in 5 departments. Each person has something different to say. After 2 weeks I still have no new phone, have been charged $400, haven't been given a tracking number, and my service credit of $250 for horrible service the past 3 months has magically disappeared. Thanks to this website and others, I am canceling my order and contract and will be done with this company once and for all. I wouldn't recommend anyone to purchase this phone!
