As long as you never have cause to use it hands-free, the AT&T R225 will reward you with good call quality. Yet, the absent volume rocker makes it best-suited for occasional callers.

    The Good: The AT&T R225 is a petite, attractive phone with admirable call quality and a rock-bottom price.

    The Bad: A small screen and lousy speakerphone are bummers, but the lack of Bluetooth and a volume rocker are the R225's biggest disappointments.

    The Bottom Line: As long as you never have cause to use it hands-free, the AT&T R225 will reward you with good call quality. Yet, the absent volume rocker makes it best-suited for occasional callers.

    RE: AT&T R225 - GoPhone (silver) - Prepaid/Pay As You Go
    I just received this phone in the mail. For a $20 phone its pretty nice. The screen isn't great but it's certainly better than a few other phones I've had in the past. The ringtone is loud but could be louder. Unfortunately the ringtones on it are very crappy, they are midi's and all songs, not sound effect-type ringers. Well there are two ringtones that sound like the phone "ringing". Good features for a cheap phone. Does not have a camera but can still receive MMS messages, at least that's what the specs say.
