I am stuck at the airport and I have this new low end model Motorola phone for T-Mobile. The phone has no model number on it but does have a green case with white face plate and black surrounding the screen if that helps to ID it.

The problem is as soon as I turn it on it says 'good bye' and shuts down again. I have tried taking the battery out several times to try and break this cycle. Any suggestions?

Charge it.

I thought I did this morning but that must be it. Thanks

My sons cell last night was shutting off every time he hit “Inbox” A charge fixed it.

Get rid of the Motorola and T-Mobile.

I have never regretted dumping Verizon and sure you will feel the same way about dumping T-Mobile in favor of Boost Mobile Unlimited. Throw your phone in the trash and find a store at the airport that sells Boost phones. Make sure it is Boost Unlimited and the new Sanyo phones are great (two models to choose from. I like the regular style Sanyo but they also have one with the keyboard).

Either your battery is too low or you have a problem. When you pull the battery out, look at the sticker on the phone. If you see a red dot, your phone may have water damage which can really mess up the power supply. If it is old, check the contacts between the battery and the phone to see if they look dirty.

We did the same thing except we dumped ATT for "straight talk" for all unlimited at $45 per month. I even had my home phone put on lifeline only for $13 per month. All three of us have unlimited so we only need the phone for 911 and so other people can call in. It actually saved me money when I added the whole thing up.

Sanyo biggest plus for many many years has been their strong connectivity.

Forget the "lifeline" connection. Get MagicJack.

You get a nifty on screen log of your calls. Works with your regular phone. You voice mail messages can be sent to your email so you can listen to them on the computer. It has 911 location ID so if you call 911 they have your house address. Best thing going.

But if the power goes out you’re done, no phone. With the lifeline and a hard wired phone it will still work.

You have a good point. The real tragedy would not be missing the phone it would be missing the computer. Hmmm, must put on the list to get a generator :)

We have a 20KW power plant out back, solar, and wind. My internet is high speed wireless with a backup dial up. DSL doesn’t exist this far out.
