Both of the green Matrix phones we bought from AT&T for Christmas gifts broke away from each other within the first two weeks of use. Unfortunately, we got the same tale as most of the other reviewers…AT&T assured us there was no problem with their phones and accused us of abusive use. Not a single AT&T representative (we spoke to at least 12) had heard of any problems with the Matrix design. Apparently AT&T employees don’t read Amazon reviews;) After experiencing the poor customer service from AT&T, my advice would be to try Verizon. If you don’t mind replacing your phone once a week and have no problem doing business with dishonest rude broadcast go ahead and get the Matrix from AT&T but be sure to buy insurance for it.

Terrible in every way. I took it back and had to pay. I would have paid any amount to get rid of it. I could not load music even with cable and drivers installed. No support to help with problem. If you get this phone you will regret it.

I bought this phone in red for my son for Christmas. In less than a month the top part of the phone had broken. I took it back to the shop where I bought it. The customer service rep called central office and had to convince them that it appeared to be defective. Within 1 week of receiving the replacement the screen turned white. Ofcourse they would not replace it again. The phone looks groundbreaking new but cannot be used because of the screen. I feel this phone is very poorly made. My son is back to using the ancient faithful LG flip phone that we have had for 4 yrs.

I really like my phone, yes the ringers and alarms should be louder. I had it for nearly a year just under a couple of weeks thankfully warranty still on the phone. They sent me a refurbirshed one as my first phone the speaker and mike both went out. It was a hassle not having a phone to work for a week. Then I got my refurbished one and the battery kept dying. In view of the fact that the battery was nearly a year ancient I bought a new battery phone still kept dying. Called at&t again and they had to send the 2nd refurbished phone. It worked for nearly 2 weeks and the speaker and mike went out on this phone. Now they want me to go for the 3rd refurbished phone. This is not acceptable. I do not mind getting a refurbished phone but they should make sure everything is working on them before they send them back to you. I have been with out a phone essentially in view of the fact that the end of December. I see where other broadcast have had problems with the slider, I have not had that problem thankfully. This is the 1st phone that I have had that had a qwerty keyboard on it and I loved it. Just wish I could get one that was reliable. It is a hassle to have to be on the phone with the warranty broadcast anywhere 30 mins to an hour as they run you thru the same tests everytime. Not only that you should be able to get a replacement over night or withing 2 days without having to pay for the shipping, isn’t that one of the reasons to have a warranty and customer satisfaction???? Not having a working reliable phone in view of the fact that the end of December is unacceptable, as there are times I need to reach someone when I am out due to some health issues. My husband has had it he wants me to just buy a new phone. That would be fine and have been trying to choose on one, there are way too many choices. Anyone have any suggestions for a excellent reliable phone, that has loud ringers, alarms, qwerty keyboard and camera? Thanks for your comments in advance!
