Motorola Razr V3 Internet Setup in 2019
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- For those interested in vintage flip phones: I spent a lot of time and energy figuring out how to get internet working on an original Motorola Razr in 2019. If you want to try using a retro flip phone... This is a step by step guide to getting internet working on your Razr.
Items you will need:
-Motorola Razr V3 setup for T-Mobile
-Smartphone, tablet or laptop that can connect to a Razr over Bluetooth (test it first)
-A Bluetooth File Sharing app if using a smartphone or tablet.
-A Bluetooth dongle might be needed for a laptop
-Opera Mini 4.2 web browser file saved on the smartphone, tablet, or laptop
Opera Mini 4.2 (with GPRS enabled) can be found here:
www.mobiles24.c...
The tetris game I installed can be found here:
www.mobilephun...
If you have a Cingular or AT&T Razr you need to unlock it before you can use your T-Mobile SIM card. To unlock it go here:
www.att.com/de...
I love that phone a lot I wish it comes back in the world
I added links in the video description to the Opera Mini web browser as well as the Tetris game I installed in the video. I also added a link to unlock your phone if you have a Cingular or AT&T Razr.
Dude, the Motorola Razr is the most iconic flip phone ever. I never got to own one as a teen and I still think about them haha. I've been on a motorola razr spiral the last few days, trying to figure out if one would still be usable in Australia and I think sadly there's no real 2G at all here. Then I heard about the Motorola Razr 3xx which apparently runs on 3G. I am not 100% certain if that would work here but I would love to try it. The only ones I can find in a decent price range (sort of worth the gamble) are around $100 refurbished from China. Not sure if it's worth it. Do you know much about these? I really want to get on the flip phone game and get off social media between my work hours. I keep looking my flip phone options, if not a sick razor (or you know what I'd love, an old sidekick with the rotating screen!!) ...I'm leaning towards the Nokia 2720 but it's chunky as HECK. But you can use it as a hot spot, so that's pretty amazing. If you could actually ever hack into one of these and make it 4G I would be foaming at the mouth to try it out hahahah. Thanks for uploading this Dane! Love seeing people who still love the Razr
Couldn't agree more, no phone will ever capture that vibe again. As for buying one, stay away from the refurbished China phones. Shipping from China is super slow right now anyways because of Covid-19. Go on eBay and try to find one from a private seller that's in decent shape. If 2G is dead in Australia then you're out of luck on the Razr V3. If you want one just to play with you can still use Bluetooth to install games and just have some fun with it. You can definitely get a V3xx since it's 3G, the Razr2 V9 is also 3G. As for the old Sidekicks be aware that they don't have data connection because Danger Inc had their servers shut down years ago. Plus a lot of them are 2G and face the same problem. There's a pretty good selection of cool 3G phones out there, you just have to look.
@@danebeck7900 Thanks for the advice! Very tempted to just get one for the nostalgia and enjoy it for what it is :) plus your little bluetooth setup here is a gamechanger haha. Thanks heaps!
@@ellyawesome Even when the 2G network is shutdown you can still install games and play them. There are lots of compatible games for these phones online. I might make another video on that at some point
Was a work of art In the tech industry back when I was graduating high school and starting college 2004 I believe
Sounds like we're the same age... Class of '03 here.
btw im 14
One more year of 2G. Enjoy it while you still can!
I have a motorola razr v3 that is stuck with Vodafone, I dont have a sim card for it but I'm not sure if Vodafone provide 2g sim cards. I'm not entirely sure how it works, do u know if they still do 2g sim cards?
A quick Google search shows that Vodafone shutdown their 2G network in April 2018.
5g was just introduced in 2019. So some phones like the s20 and phones this year 2020 are now moved to 5g. It might do the same thing like enjoy your 4g and 3g before the 5g network takes effect but that isn't to worry about anyways since 5g is still new to people using 3g and 4g networks.
@@xtremedj1929 At some point all the old networks will be shutdown but it's hard to say when. T-Mobile hasn't announced when they're shutting down 3G so that has at least a couple years left... All the other carriers in the US have made 3G shutdown announcements though. I don't think any carriers have made announcements about 4G shutdowns and probably won't for years.
Do I need mobile data or can I send wifi from my smartphone to the phone using bluetooth
Thanks for dropping by on my video man! You’ve got some great tips here :)
2 days, 7 hours and 24 and-a-half minutes later..... I'm online! Your patience is truly inspiring ;)
Awesome. It's good to get feedback from other people that they actually tried it and it worked.
In the United States, U.S. Cellular will still activate CDMA razrs (V3c or V3m) that they originally sold. In fact they’ll still activate any of their CDMA phones as long it has E911 support. You need to already have an active line with them or open one with a newer phone as they can’t start a line with non-VoLTE phones.
Great info... Thanks!!!
You don’t need an active line, I activated a CDMA phone on their site with a new account with the MEID. They will activate any USCC CDMA phone
Just tried this on a V3 here in Germany with a T-Mobile Sim aswell. Worked immediately. Thanks for the awesome guide!
Awesome! Glad it worked for you.
Weißt du ob es heutzutage immer noch funktioniert?
@@twachl8039 Leider hab ich die Simkarte nicht mehr um es zu testen, vielleicht probier ichs mal mit ner anderen. Ansonsten wüsste ich nicht, warum es nicht mehr funktionieren sollte.
@@romdex ok vielen Dank, ich überlege ob ich auf ein altes Motorola wechseln soll, aber wenn es nicht mehr funktioniert, wäre das sehr blöd
also funktioniert es nur mit einer Telekom Sim Karte und nicht mit Vodafone?
I always wondered what it would be like if I never upgraded to a smartphone. Seems tolerable with custom favorites and a little sms automation.
Now T-Mobile send SIM updates that automatically programs GPRS/EDGE settings in the phone. Unfortunately 2G will shut down April 2nd, 2024
DAMNN I want one of thesee
T-Mobile is shutting down 2G at the end of this year, so if you really wanna use one do it now before it's too late.
Motorola should be announcing the new Moto Razr today. 👍
Frankly I'd prefer to see the Razr rebooted as a feature phone with 4G LTE rather than a $1500 smartphone... but that's just me. Kinda like what Nokia did when they rebooted the 8110. That would be perfect.
Sad that T-Mobile 2G is blacking out on December 31, 2020! We loved these phones and how we interacted with them! R.I.P T-Mobile 2G (2001-2020) :(
Thank god the uk is way behind from the rest of the world so 2g will run till 2025 maybe beyond 😅😅😅😅 the so called great britain😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 While the 5g is out i can barely see 4g. It's terrible. Uk is stuck in the 90,s lol
Now that it’s 2024 t-mobile still supports 2 and 3g.
such a neat little browser. used it non-stop on my krazr
Same!
Cool! I wanted flip phone.again!
I haven't had one over 8 years ago
People keep asking me if they can still use a Razr V3, so let me make this clear. The original Razr is a 2G phone, and NONE of the carriers in the US are activating 2G phones. The only way you can use an original Razr V3 is if:
1. You're already on T-Mobile and you swap in your SIM card. It will work for the rest of 2020. If you try switching to T-Mobile it won't work because they won't activate it.
2. If you have a Razr V3 that's already activated on Verizon you can keep using it for the rest of 2020 but again you can't activate it.
3. If you have a Razr V3 that's already activated on Sprint you can keep using it until the end of 2021, but just like Verizon you can't activate.
Rule 1 applies to 99.9999% of people. If you qualify for rules 2 or 3 then congratulations, you're a unicorn. If you qualify for rule 3 then you can use a Razr V3 even longer than me. I envy you!
Now for 3G phones, the Razr V3xx and V9 are in this category. Nobody is activating these phones. The only way you can use them is if:
1. You're already on T-Mobile and you swap in your SIM card. You can use it for the rest of 2020.
2. You're already on AT&T and you swap in your SIM card. You can use it until February 2022.
3. You already have an activated phone on Verizon, you can use it for the rest of 2020.
4. You already have an activated phone on Sprint, you can use it until December 2022.
Rules 1 and 2 apply to 99.9999% of people. If you can get away with rules 3 or 4 then again, you're a unicorn. Congratulations.
This list of rules should be crystal clear. If you don't fit the qualifications to the letter than forget it, it's not gonna work. These rules apply in the US. It'll be different for carriers in other countries.

Does the AT&T rule apply if you’re using an AT&T phone with a T-Mobile Sim?
@@soufbayshawty If that AT&T phone is unlocked you can put in a T-Mobile SIM.
If I buy one now will it work and what can I do with it when it doesn’t?
Thanks for the advice! I have an iPhone but I have a weird fascination with flip phones and would like to collect a couple.
Also is there any way to use a Verizon sim with these phones if they are unlocked?
Unfortunately not, that won't work. It has to be T-Mobile. Verizon doesn't support 2G anymore. I still have an old Verizon Razr (my original). It doesn't take a sim card because it's CDMA and I can't activate it on any networks... it's a brick. Before May 2019 it would have been possible to take it over to Sprint, but after that they stopped activating 2G and 3G phones. If you're into collecting old flip phones and you actually want to use them, make sure they're either unlocked or locked to T-Mobile. Keep in mind T-Mobile is shutting down their 2G network in 2021, but from what I've read they'll keep supporting 3G for a little while longer, so after this year you can only use 3G flip phones. At the peak of 3G there were lots of cool flip and slider phones on the market, so I'll be checking out some of those myself. There are newer 4G flip phones out there but they all seem kinda lame IMO. Good luck!
Bad news Razr lovers... T-Mobile is no longer activating 2G SIM cards. Here's what that means for you:
1. If you're thinking about buying a Razr but haven't, and you don't have an activated T-Mobile SIM, you can't use a Razr, so don't bother buying one.
2. If you bought a Razr and procrastinated on activating your SIM, you're out of luck.
3. If you have a different T-Mobile phone with an activated SIM, you can still get a Razr and swap in your SIM card and it'll work until 2021!
4. If you planned ahead and already got your Razr and SIM card activated, you can keep using it until 2021.
5. If you like Razrs but don't want to use it as an actual phone, you can still get one, install games and send grainy photos to your Android friends over Bluetooth at a Retro Party ;^) But calling, texting and data is off limits for you and your Razr.
*Note: If you don't live in the US this might not apply to you. Depends when 2G is being shutdown in your home country.
I’m a little confused; I don’t know much about phones and currently have an iPhone 8 but really want to go back to flip phones. If I have a plan with T-Mobile on my current smartphone could I buy the motorola and still use the same SIM card? What are my choices?
Ah! I've had a v3xx I wanted to get working. I tried popping in my newer TMobile 5g sim and it went into a bootloop after it originally had full bars then mentioned an update? I'll mess with it again(figure were in quarantine why not) I gotta look at the connection settings. I was able to use the razr on fi last summer. Wish I did this sooner.
I honestly know nothing about 5G SIMs but I'm not surprised it didn't work. Sorry to hear that.
I want this phone so bad!!! I’m 15 btw. I have an iPhone but I just REALLY want a Motorola Razr V3xx and I’m dying here🙁
They're so cheap on eBay... Just get one!
Me too!! I'm 13 and I want this phone super bad too!
i am 10 and i have a huawei but i want a motorola V3i!
Shayna Lynn i haven’t seen a Motorola razr v3 in years
omg samee I’m also 15 and I want Motorola V3xx too.
Thanks man, you're a life saver! I was messing with proxies, APN points etc.., trying to make the default browser work on my V3i, but to no avail. Now it connects just fine and the novelty is unmatched! Here in Greece (and other southern European countries), 2G still works just fine.
You're welcome!
Hey dude, do you know how to change the app points on the razr v3?
@@ellenrigaux5111 app points?
Today I confirmed that a Razr will connect to a Samsung Galaxy S9+ over Bluetooth, so that phone could be used to install internet, games and ringtones. Bluetooth can also be used to send pictures. Unfortunately MMS doesn't work on the Razr's, so BT is the only way I know to send a pic to another phone.
Does it work with a Note 9?
@@isaiahpadilla3588 I haven't tried but most likely it will. You just need to try to find out.
Galaxy S10+ works too
Is there any oldfashioned flipphone where u can download music and use earphones with it?
Okay I'm gonna give you the "Old Millennial" lecture. Back in the day people didn't use flip phones like that. You would have carried either an iPod or an MP3 player to listen to music. They weren't the "devices that do everything" like smartphones are today. They didn't have the memory to store a bunch of songs and nobody expected then too. Pretty much any phone that plays music the way you're expecting is gonna be a smartphone... That's where that expectation came from in the first place. Now that being said, you can get a headset for a Razr, install small MP3 files, and play them over the headset. So "technically" you can listen to music over an earbud with a Razr. But the headset is a special part, it's not like your typical 3.5 mm headphone jack. They still sell them online BTW. That's probably not what you were looking for anyways. But there's your answer.
This is actually kinda deep... Because before smartphones were invented you had a different device to do everything. There was your phone, your watch, your music player, your laptop, your alarm clock, your PDA, etc. All of them were separate devices. If you look at an old RadioShack catalog from the 90's or 2000's you'll see hundreds of devices that all do only one thing, and literally every single one of them was made obsolete by the smartphone. I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume you're Gen Z or younger, because somebody in their 30's or older wouldn't even ask this question. This is why you think it's so weird that you can't play your favorite songs on an old school flip phone... because people in their 20's and younger grew up with smartphones from a young age, so devices that do everything seems "normal" to them. But in reality it's a very recent innovation. So if you want portable music like it's the 2000's, get an MP3 player. If you wanna do it like the 90's, get a CD Discman. 80's... Get a Walkman. Earlier than that and you need a handheld transistor radio, and it probably only picks up AM stations. There's your history lesson.
Thanks so much for this vid btw, I can only imagine the trial and error that was involved with this!
Oh God... It was insane!
I miss my motorola very much 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I have a grey v3 on mint mobile, looks to have newer software on it. I try to use data and it kicks me off the network, I know I need to change apn settings most likely but I am missing the option to do it. Do you think I need to unlock it? Thanks
Did you actually watch the video? The way I describe it is the only way I know to make it work. Also, read through the comments. I've answered tons of these questions.
@@danebeck7900 Sorry just had to scroll down a bit further, will be returning and getting a silver/red one. Thanks
It’s probably the “disconnecting” issue that happens on old phones when using data
My still work in 2024 👍
I have one, is pretty beat up, but I got it to charge again. I got it in 2009, it use to be with alltel, it still has that logo on it, when it comes up. About few month after we got it , alltel merged, got bought by Verizon. I would love to get it working again, thats how I found your comment, this video.
I wish I could do it without sim card
all I wanted was to connect my motorola V3, to internet, nothing else.
Impressive
Just a question, is the razr compatible with Bluetooth speakers, headphones, and other things like that?
still using mine today.
@Waylon Finlay i'm from the philippines so it well work fine
I just bought the new Razr because I had a Razr as my first cell phone back in the eons. It’s much pricier now.
How much did you pay? I see prices are dropping on eBay.
@@danebeck7900 do you have the ebay link you use?
It’s crazy to think the Motorola Razr had actual J2ME support support I’ve always thought the apps ran via arm machine code or something stupid like that because of how low end the SOC was

I love this phone small but might
I tried installing different Opera Mini 4.5 releases and not a single one worked. I tried the version in this video too and had no luck either. I can still connect to the internet via the default phone's browser (after some basic configuration) but I always get the "Failed to connect to the internet" error with any Opera Mini version after the "Use data network?" question. Do you know why this might be happening? Thanks in advance.
I used it its beautifl and slim
There's a reason why 2G is being made obsolete, once it's gone it'll be impossible to be anonymous in the US (in terms of connectivity)
There's still ham radio and walkie-talkies
Really useful
By pure miracle here in Mexico 2g still exist
The day they turn it off I’ll get a v3xx or a v8
The V8 is 2G just like the Razr. The V3xx is 3G, but that might be shutdown too. Not sure about the situation in Mexico.
What an excellent tutorial in 2024!!!!!!! Thank you! Could you please help me to find good and reliable firmware for basic V3? I've searched everywhere but can not find from where to download?
All those wanting a almost perfect RZR V3 , message me lol
do you think t-mobile is really going to shut down their gsm network on april 2nd like they say? i hope not, but theyve delayed it so much at this point its hard to tell. i dont know why they dont just go ahead and leave it up forever instead of playing these stupid games with us so i dont have to worry about getting a new cellphone.
Still works in 2024 in Europe :)
thank u for this video! in Europe it's still possible to use these 😊
I used to check myspace , bebo, and facebook on it all the time 🤣
I love to used this phone for my main bc i love flip phones but i dont have T-Mobile
That’s the same phone that I haven’t seen in years
Do it while you still can!
Wow..., lo instale el archivo Jar al teléfono vintage y ahora tengo internet, gracia compañero.
Can you use Verizon v3m with TMOBILE SIM
Thank you very much Mr. Beck for taking your time to make this very _educational_ video. All the Best.
i won a few new-in-box ones on ebay and i'm gonna tear into one to re-live that teenage nostalgia. wikipedia says that T-Mobile will completely sunset 2G by 2022, so hoping i can still get online with one for a while at least. thanks for the video, love these old handsets that use that sweet motorola java OS.
ETA: i'm going to be in eastern europe later this year and, being the most frugal person on the planet, i might try to use one of these on a cheapo data plan while i'm there. maybe i'll make a video on it.
Thanks for the heads-up. I followed the Wikipedia link and got this... Looks like we're good until the end of 2022: www.stanleymonitor.com/article/T-mobile-Sunset-Dates
Hi do you know the Data and MMS settings for T-mobile? I have Mint Mobile /Mint SIM and they run on tmobile towers. but they told me the data doesn't work on my M.Razr V3 phone. I'd like to try with tmobile settings. Anyone know to how set it up on the phone? I love going back to the Razr V3 in almost 2020!
I tried going down that path and it went nowhere. I spent like 2 months researching that issue reading through old tech support discussion forums and all the info online about network and MMS settings is obsolete. I tried contacting tech support with basically the same question and they were ZERO help! Nobody in tech support has dealt with network settings for a Razr in years, they don't know how anymore. I would just make sure you have data activated on your account, install Opera Mini and see what happens (go to the link in the description). If you go down the path of trying to figure out the MMS settings to get the native browser working, depending on how persistent you are you're just setting yourself up for frustration.
Mine was stolen many years ago:(
Sorry to hear that
Hey, would you be about to transfer a nano SIM card to this phone with a micro SIM card adapter ?
Yes you can do it with an adapter but it's a mini SIM, not micro. Most of the adapter kits include both.
Yes
Hey man, I know I am a bit late to do this. But what sort of bluetooth file transfer app did you use? Seems pretty neat! Thanks in advance! - Pug.
The one I used is called "Bluetooth Files Share" but I'm sure there are others that would work. The bigger issue is you need to make sure your Razr can do Bluetooth file transfers, meaning it needs to be an AT&T (Cingular) or T-Mobile Razr. If you have a Verizon Razr it's not gonna work because Bluetooth file transfer is disabled on those ones.
@@danebeck7900 thanks for the comment! I live in europe, my razr is actually on T-Mobile. But it'll accept simcards from other carriers too, yesterday I tried bluetooth file transfer via my pc. Worked great! Even installed a custom ringtone haha! But thanks for your time! 😃😁
Dane, I just followed the instructions but after I pressed Yes to reset the screen remained blank. Can you comment on what to do next? Thanks
Do you mean the part where you have to reload the page in Opera Mini to accept the terms and conditions? First I would just check if you can select the "Accept" button without reloading the page, because maybe you'll get lucky and it will just work. As far as why your screen goes blank? I have no idea. If it won't go away just reboot the phone and try again.
9999!
I have a v3 with no sim. I want to be able to use it for the camera, games, etc. But when I turn it on I can't even get passed the Insert Sim warning. Is the phone useless then?
You literally can't do ANYTHING without a SIM. Try finding an old SIM card on eBay and swap it in there.
Hi, I saw a message you put where you said that 2g will dissapear in a year (in a message from 2020)
What were you talking about? 2g is still here right?
Thanks.
Yeah T-Mobile pushed back the deadline at the last minute. It's going down sometime in 2022 now. I think it should be running until at least June or July but need to double check.
@@danebeck7900 I don't get where you read that? A quick Google search tells me they're dropping 2g and 3g at the same time in 2033?
As of 2023 I can confirm that this method no longer works on this device in Romania.

@@rayvega3163 The V3i is only 2g. The only Razrs that support 3g are the V3x, the V3xx, the V9, and the MAXX V6. However only the American versions of the V3xx, V9, and V9x will work in the US on 3g.

Hmmm 🤔 Why would you want to connect to the internet? You will have Google track you’re every move.
cant track you on a razr
I found the same file transfer app as you used, but the transfers never go through on my RAZR V3C.
A V3C is a Verizon CDMA phone and I'm pretty sure it has Bluetooth file transfer disabled. I know they did for the V3M. Are you in the US? If so you can't activate that phone anywhere, it's a brick. The one exception (I think) would be if you activated it on Sprint before May of this year, then you might get service.
Does the original Razr supports a StraightTalk and a Bluetooth?
I looked into Straight Talk a little more and it might work since they take T-Mobile phones. Only way to know for sure is to try it and find out.
I remember getting one of these at a gas station in Tennessee on august 4th, 2002 when I mugged a guy coming out while on a phone call 🤣🤣

It is possible, but older GPRS phones like the SGH-E850 require a WAP gateway.
Hey ik this video is 3 years old but what do I do if it says I can't finish install cause I have no internet
I've encountered this issue, there's a few possibilities. It's either because you have the wrong version of Opera Mini, the wrong software version on the Razr, or you're in an area with bad 2G signal.
they cant even be used for calling or texting any longer. all 2g getting phased out this year.
Mine still works, but yeah, only for a few more months
I loved my Motorola Razr, the only issue that I actually had was the speaker stopped working and I could only make phone calls when the phone was on speaker phone.
Awesome I got all the way to install the app. But I need to unlock the phone, it's Cingular/at&t. Thanks for the info!
Can Hungarian be solved??
I tried this setup and everytime I try to install it tells me it could not connect to the data network. My phone has a GPRS connection but says it’s roaming, it this why it won’t download?
In my experience sometimes it just doesn't work depending on the software version. Look up the SW version and post it and I'll compare it to my notes. Honestly though... I'm not even getting an internet connection on mine anymore. I think this is part of 2G gradually getting shutdown.
@@danebeck7900 version of the opera miki browser or phone? Because I don’t know how to find the software version on the phone. But I tried mini 4.2 among many others, none getting an internet connection.
How can I find out if my Razr is able to take T-Mobile?
Just stick in your SIM card and see if it works. T-Mobile is shutting down 2G on April 2nd this year, so you don't have much time anyways.
@@danebeck7900wtf! What about any other provider?? Is no one else supporting calls & txts for these anymore??

True... But if it's your first time logging in and you don't have the other phone with you then you'll get blocked by the firewall. I actually had that happen to me and it was pretty frustrating. I guess if you had a text forwarding app running on the other phone then you could get around it too.
Yes I separate the OTA to other phone
RIP T-MOBILE 2G!!! (2001-2020)

I know this is a few years later but, I got a new t-mobile sim but when I put it in it just says "check sim". It's an unlocked v3. Is it worth taking to T-Mobile and asking if they can help or am I just out of luck?
Your SIM's too new
Hey Dane! I have a Razr V3xx (Gray, Cingular Branded, GSM Unlocked) and I'm trying to transfer files via bluetooth on my Windows 10 Laptop and it says the network host is down whenever I try to send a file. Do you know why this is happening and if there is a workaround? I can't seem to find anything on Google. Thanks for the helpful video. Cheers!
First of all I really don't know much about the V3xx, I've barely used them. If I had to guess I would say try using Motorola Phone Tools, search online for a download. I use it for my V3's with an old Windows XP laptop. I tried MPT on a Windows 7 laptop and had some issues. I seriously doubt it'll work on Windows 10 but go for it if you want. MPT does data transfer over USB so make sure you have the right cable (mini USB).
@@danebeck7900 Ok!! Thank you so much for the reply I appreciate it :)
I have a razr2 v9 and I can call and text, the internet shows as H but I can't connect to the internet. Why is this?
Honestly I don't know much about the Razr2 V9. Being able to call and text but no internet is what I usually expect from phones this old. If I were trying to solve this I would just do a Google search for different versions of Opera Mini and try to install them and see what happens. Look for a version that was released between the 2007-2011 timeframe, since that would be period correct for the phone and more likely to work. Also look for a version with 240x320 pixel resolution since that's what the V9 used. If you can't get it to work then this might just be a call and text phone for you. The internet is super slow anyways, so nothing wrong with that.
@@danebeck7900 Hey, I actually got internet to work. I put default,supl as the APN in place of my operator's APN. I didn't really expect internet to work but it's nice to have the ability to search something up if I really need it. Such as if something I planned to go to on a whim is open or closed when I'm outside. I use it as my main and only phone and it gives me everything I need!
m.ruclips.net/video/KjPZoQ_1kE8/видео.htmlm00s Just a quick correction, I meant to say the grey Razr was on T-Mobile, not AT&T.
Long shot but......where are you getting BR50 batteries? Im done with Ebay and Amazon, they only sell 'new' batteries from 2009 that are DOA. I have save every one of my old cell phones and would loe to get this up and running again if not just to piss off my wife.
Try Batteries plus Bulbs. Last I checked they have them in stock, although IIRC it's a Duracell equivalent, not Motorola NOS.
@@danebeck7900 Thanks. I got one to work for a while, put in a sim with ATT and no bueno. I think these are dead because no carriers have a network for them?
AT&T killed their 2G network a few years ago. T-Mobile is still running for a bit longer but you can't activate.
@@danebeck7900 Thanks for confirming it.
Hm, mine says failed to connect to internet. I did everything else right with the transfer. I can’t get online. :(
it was very tough for me to find a good video on the razr before I bought one, thank you man.
Omg
how can know if fake or original v3 version gadgets
