Well, sorry to hear that. Maybe you got a janky model?

Mine has actually worked perfectly, and I’ve only had one. I’ve had it for about 2 years, too. :]
I loveee this phone.

Andrea, I’m sorry to hear that. I wonder if you can find a charger at RadioShack? Or perhaps you’re on east coast time which might mean everything has already closed.

I just got this phone 2 days ago. Now for the second time the charge port will not charge. GREAT and now I’m about to go out for the night and Verizon is closed. That sucks that this phone has already dissapointed me in just 2 days.

Absolutely love this phone! Had the 740 for over a year before I upgraded to the Alias (after mine took an unfortunate spin through the wash). This phone can take quite a bit of abuse, I was worried when I purchased the 740, what with the side hinge but it is surprisingly sturdy!

The Alias is the same as the 740 apart from the silver casing and half moon colored number keys. (The guy at the store claimed that the Alias has some software updates – but whatever – works the same for me.) Yes, the keys are on the small side, but once you get used to them they’re not an issue. The camera has always worked fabulously for me, and I’ve not had any of the aforementioned issues with calling or texting.

My father has the 740 and his had the tendency to shut off on it’s own, he took it in to the Verizon store and they replaced it right there for him. No issues with his new phone, apart from the continual texts from him – he’s become a texting fool since getting this phone!

ohkay i’ve had the alias for maybe a year or so. ive went through three of them, because they kept breaking, and trust me it wasnt my fault. they’d randomly restart in the middle of a text message, or while attempting to receive a pic/video message. right now all im waiting for is the contract to be up so i can upgrade it. the one i currently have, has a huge crack on the front screen because i i sat on it, and i only weigh like 120 pounds, it shouldnt break. personally i think the phones cheep. if anythne thinks about getting it, DONT! you just have to trust me, you’ll regret ever buying it.

I’ve had the Alias for a while and, while I love it for texting, it is just not that reliable a phone. Sure, it handles being dropped VERY well, but before I ever dropped it, my front screen broke from the inside. Also, I can only call people and receive calls on speaker phone. I suppose it handles being dropped well because there’s nothing left to break XD. The camera isn’t the best, either. Overall, a good phone for kids and teenagers, and that’s the extent of it.

corie, if you still have the phone. and ever look at this site again… i have a tip. i have arcrylics too but if you turn your thumbs and text with the outside corner texting works beautifully.
