    this phone sucks…it does not allow you to save downloaded contents such as ringtones from funformobile…or anything else. do not buy waste of money. if so…no need to purchase web

  2. sanna says:

    you cannot save downloads with this phone. only way to get ringtones is through bluetooth…but you cant even bluetooth funformobile tones that other people downloaded (to their own phones.) point is the ZTE c78 is a waste of money no good features on this phone

  3. me says:

    …picture quality is NOOO Good. BADDD do not buy

  4. wrong says:

    ALLL OF YOU GUYS OBVIOUSLY DONT KNOW HOW TO MANAGE THIS PHONE BECAUSE THERE IS A WAY OF SAVING RINGTONES FROM OTHER PLACES THAN BLUETOOTH !AND THE PICTURE QUALITY THING,MOST PHONES HAVE BAD PICTURE QUALITY TOO SO SHUT UP !

  5. just me says:

    I have this phone and it’s not bad. i wish it had a flash with the camera but most phones dont. Other then that i never have a problem storing ringtones and it’s a cute phone. If i change phones it’ll only be because i want a phone with a keyboard. nothing fancy but overall, not a bad choice.

  6. need to know says:

    How do you save the downloaded ringtones???

  7. Kristy says:

    how do i have ringtones to my phone? any know if so please let me know…

  8. Kiesha says:

    Ok, I have had this phone for two months so there is NOTHING that anyone could say to make me think otherwise about this damn phone. This phone is wack. Yeah its cute, but the features suck. For the person who said most phones picture quality sucks is lying because I had alot of camera phones and the picture quality was great. The picture color turns green sometimes, when your on the web the phone turns off sometimes. You have the option to zoom but you can’t zoom in. You cant download and I’ll be damned if im paying 3 dollars for a tone off metro. My friend,me,my mom and my cousin all have the same phone with the same problems. I cant wait to trade this crap in for a better one. THIS PHONE SUCKS.

  9. Mrs.A says:

    I to have this phone and i found how to download ringtones you have to go to funformobile.com find the song look at the thing that says the wap code, than go to wap.funformobile.com and enter the code i dont know how to save it the but as far as the zoom for the camera go to image size and down to anyone but the 640 and than u ca n zoom in and out…..i just got the phone and i like it. thats why i got it…and i’ll figure how to save the ringtones…and you can get other ringtones from people phones who downlooaded them from there i get them from my brother phone all the time in fact i get hius phone to downlaod the songs i want just until i figure how to save the songs….this phone is great

  10. Anthony says:

    u can Keep trying mrs.a but you will never be able to save the tones cause this phone wont do that.

  11. Brianna says:

    This phone is kinda crappy but cute i found out how to do the ringtones thing my friend has a recording thing on her phone and she records the songs i want and she sends them in a text i go to use highlight object go to save as a ringtone and then go to your menu then music & media then to my tunes then you will see it but you might not have a friend that can do that but if you do i just thought it would be helpful to you if you did???

    BREE<33

  12. fin says:

    this phone DOES suck and you can’t you can download, but not save. what a waste.

  13. Boricua4ever says:

    I tried what brianna said to do and it worked fine, i think the zte is a great phone i like it, it all depends on the person who owns the phone not the phone itself.

  14. kisha says:

    This phone is full of shi_. the picture quality sucks, whats the use of the mp3 feature if u have to go through so much bull to save a download. further, who wants a recorded download from someone elses phone recording thats stupid. Metro their phones, chargersis full of it. They got us with the lil cute purple candybar like dumb phone……

  15. keke says:

  23. H E L P ! ! says:

    OKAY, This phone gets so annoying sometimes. I had it for like 2 month and i haven’t do anything to it much Just calls and Text. but this Phone Turns White and BALNK on me. Like all You can see it a white screen sometime. I have to Try and turn my phone off just so it can go back to my menu screen Or whatever you call that screen part. Then What i hate the most is that when you turn it back on agian after it turns white on you, SOmetimes it won’t even go to the main scree. it would usally Turn back white again or it gets Frozen. I turn it off over and over again. I Sometimes have to Pull the batteries Out a couple of times.

    How should i go get it fixed?

  24. diamond says:

    help im having the same problem like you and then wen it freze up i take da battery out as well i called and asked metro pcs to reset my ohn it didnt work and some how all my contacts and pic and ringtones and messages got erased so im going to metro pcs today and i tell you wat i hear!!!!!! and this is crazy

  25. paulsbudlight says:

    Download real ringtones by sending them to your metro pcs e-mail, (yournumber@metropcs.com) That works for me, besides using bluetooth.
    Later!

  26. Scammed says:

    CRAP. Okay the phone is cute and for what they say it “can do”, I bought it. NOT. I am able to get ringtones as attachmates but some the phone receives and others it doesn’t. I can’t download things using wap because that the web browser hardley ever works. If you set the phone down to hard on a surface it turns itself off then back on which is a pain…(I hate that hello, hello, hello BS).
    I contacted ZTE via email regarding being told I could upload ringtones from my PC to the phone but never found any info on it in the manual or online. The company informed me that I can either pay for it @metro or use a Bluetooth device.
    I think the phone is cute and I like it outside of the many issues but I still feel cheated by the way it was advertised!

  27. Scammed says:

    Oh, I use mytinyphone.com to get free ringtones but again some ringtones won’t go to the phone so its hit or miss.

  28. outsomedo says:

    I sat on this stupid phone (and no i’m not very heavy). When I went to use it all the contact, messages and other information was gone. Headed to Metro PCS today. I just cannot belive all the information could be erased so easily.. Phone sucks it’s too easy to break.

    honeslty at first i hated the phone buht yhu should be happy that yhu actually have a phone that allows yhu to text and call unlimited.
    i have free web surfing so i can go on myspace and everything else. and i can download ringtones AND save them. i just got this fone yesturday and ive already figured out everything i need . as for the picture. yea it cann be very crappy buht what i do is take a picture of another picture and that works great for me.
    so idk why you guys are all whining about it. i bet yhu havent even made an effort to even try different things to see what works for you.
    at first i was dissappointed kuz of all the things it has buht
    im gratefull that i actually have a fone unlike all the other people in here.
    so all yhu guys can go buy a better phone if yhu want buht im not kuz i like my fone plus i dont have that kind of money to be switching phones all the time just because its doesnt work how i want it.
    so grow up.
    im 14 and im not acting like a 4 year old like yhu guys are.

  31. mrhaterrrr says:

    yea you might be right
    but the graphics suck so much
    but you are right
    everyone is whining about their phone
    they do need to grow up
    shit..
    pissing me off like your somebody.

    ya i have this fone. and all of u that r saying that its not good or the only way to get ringtones is via bluetooth…ur wronge. yes u cant get ringtones from funformobile but you can get ringtones from someone. if someone sends u a message with picture that u wanna use a s a wallpaper or a song u want as a ringtone just go look at the message press browse then press options use hilited object. this fone isnt that bad.
