Tracfone Service
Tracfone provides nationwide prepaid wireless service using the nation's leading cellular providers to create a national footprint covering 99 percent of the U.S. population. This gives you connectivity everywhere cellular service is available. You can use your Tracfone across the U.S. and if you move, you can relocate your wireless number with just a phone call.

You can buy bundles of minutes (which must be used within a set time limit of between 90 to 365 days) from the Tracfone web site on your home PC or directly from your phone's web browser. For example, if you purchase a block of 120 minutes of airtime, you'll need to use that within 90 days of your first use. When you buy additional airtime minutes, your Tracfone service is extended automatically by another 90 days. Tracfone also offers international long distance calling to over 60 international destinations (including Argentina, Brazil, China, Mexico, most European countries, and many more), which deducts the same amount of minutes from your phone as when you make calls to destinations within the U.S.

This phone ships with a number of handy Tracfone services, including free voice mail, free caller ID, and free call waiting. And perhaps most importantly, the integrated TracFone Airtime Balance Display shows you how much airtime you've used and how much is left, so you can control your costs. You must activate your cell phone before use either by calling the Tracfone toll-free number or going to the Tracfone web site.

Phone Features
The easy-to-use Motorola W175 gives you access to all of the tools you need--phone, calendar, text messages--via an intuitive user interface. The large display (128 x 128 pixels, 65K colors) and sleek keypad deliver an enjoyable navigation and viewing experience. This phone has a small amount of internal memory (70 KB), which is enough to store up to 500 contact entries with one phone number apiece.

This Motorola phone includes the innovative CrystalTalk technology, which automatically accounts for background noise during a call and adjusts the audio quality based on ambient noise conditions to provide the optimal conversational experience. CrystalTalk also reduces the volume of the background noise picked up by the microphone during a call, making it possible to be more easily heard over the phone while in a noisy environment.

If you need basic messaging capabilities, the W175 has you covered as support is built-in for sending and receiving SMS text messages. The iTap predictive text technology is built into the unit, which autocompletes text for you as you type on the alpha-numeric keypad and offers options for selecting the correct word.

Other features include:

  • Tracfone Airtime Balance Display shows you how much airtime you've used and how much is left
  • Personalize the calls you receive with 20 preloaded 32-chord polyphonic ringtones and 15 standard alert ringtones
  • Compose text messagess with one key access and save up to 750 of them
  • Speakerphone
  • Organizer tools: Calendar, calculator, stopwatch, currency converter
  • USB 1.1 connectivity for charging

Vital Statistics
The Motorola W175 weighs 3 ounces and measures 4.49 x 1.69 x 0.55 inches. Its 940 mAh lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 6.5 hours of talk time, and up to 432 hours (18 days) of standby time. It runs on the 850/1900 MHz GSM/GPRS frequencies. Read more...

Tipsters' info leads to capture of accused thief

08.07.11

Tipsters helped state troopers find a man who had been observed breaking into vehicles in a trailer park near North East on Wednesday, according to Maryland State Police.

Troopers captured Travis James Newsome, 20, of the unit block of Pinder Avenue in Elkton, about 9:30 a.m. in the Northeast Plaza shopping center parking lot after a brief foot chase, police reported.

Newsome's arrest came about an hour after a caller reported seeing a suspect breaking into vehicles in Lakeside Trailer Park, according to Lt. John Cook, commander of the North East Barrack.

Page 20 of the manual I linked above implies that you can send a single message to multiple recipients.

“When you finish composing the message, tap Options > Send to to enter phone numbers or select message recipients from your contact list.”

Note the use of the plural “numbers” and “recipients.”

If this phone has the same battery as the w376g, then IMHO that is not too good. I had three batteries for my w376g, and battery life was probably the single biggest negative I had with my w376g. I was a very light user (no internet, 30 – 50 min/month of voice, light texting) of that phone, and still had to fully charge that phone about every 3 days. I hope things are better with this setup – I would advise getting an extra battery, though. Seems like a very nice phone…
