I bought two of these phones for my wife and I on Friday. We had our phones on for only one day and the batteries went dead. Neither of us even used the phones to talk on! That means the standby time was only approx. 15 hrs.! A decent user friendly phone otherwise. VM could have a good thing going here, but they refuse to do anything about the battery life of this phone. I called and told them my situation, and they said to take the phones back for a refund. I asked if VM plans to do anything in the future to fix this problem and he said no, they are only 20.00 and you get what you pay for. He then recommended the VM Snapper. I couldn't believe my ears! VM better make this right or they will loose many a customer over this lemon.
