Comments about Virgin Mobile® Kyocera Event No-Contract Phone (Red):

I wanted to let everyone know when activating this phone through customer care via Radio Shack Rep-they told him the area code 84414 for North Ogden Utah was not covered, However after checking with current sprint owners and Sprint store in mall and my experience the phone works great in this area. Also the Sprint map shows the excellent coverage all accross the northern valley and they have updated a new tower and working on LTE in the moutains we live below. north ogden divide. :)

      Comments about Virgin Mobile® Kyocera Event No-Contract Phone (Red):

      After receiving this phone about a week ago (and before activating) I posted an initial review. It appeared on Radio Shack and has now disappeared. This is my first smartphone, so no matter which one I would have purchased, there would have been a learning curve. Overall, although I am still acclimating, I like this phone. I had some problems getting it activated - I went through all the steps online with Virgin Mobile, but still had to call customer service to get activation finalized. When I made a test call, I was told by person I called that called ID showed that call came from a business in WPB, FL. Virgin Mobile customer service told me that they recycle phone numbers and after 7-10 days should show correct caller ID. I have not checked if this has happened. The battery seems week, but I changed to ECO mode and trust that will help. I can't give a total review as am still learning how to use this phone.
