New Net10 CDMA Samsung R355C
Net10 Samsung R355C
The Samsung R355C is Net10’s newest entry to their texting device line up. It will be joining the R451C and T401G to round out their reduced texting rate line up. Like previous Net10 Samsung texting models, the R355G features a full QWERTY keyboard for easy texting. Unlike the previous two texting models, however, the R355C will be of the non sliding variety resembling the ever popular Blackberry. Despite the non sliding design, the 355 is compact and light weight, measuring 4.42” x 2.4” x .50” and weighing just 3.6 ounces. In addition, the phone is quite rugged and built to Samsung’s quality standards.
If the phone looks familiar, it is because it’s essentially a Samsung SCHR-r351 (also known as the Samsung Freeform). Like the Freeform, the R355C comes with a 1.3 megapixel camera, full MP3 player, expandable SD card slot with up to 16 gb capacity and bluetooth. Standard features include reduced texting rates, caller id, call forwarding, call waiting and voicemail. Read the full Net10 Samsung R355C Review.
All in all, the Net10 Samsung R355C is an excellent phone if you love to text, want a large screen and prefer the Blackberry like design over the sliders. Pricing should be similar to the 451 and 401 so you won’t have to break the bank to take advantage of Net10s excellent 10 cent per minute rates and reduced texting rates.

I did a bit of research and discovered NET10 was the best for my purposes. I don’t use a lot of minutes — maybe 200 or so a month — and I’m not a mad texter or websurfer either, but 10¢ a minute for calls and 3¢ for texts is crazy good. And no fees per day or other bs.
I got the very nice Samsung 401 phone with a slide-out qwerty keyboard and no one knows it’s prepaid. Costs me a big $30 a month for all my stuff.
Love it!
hi i luv this fone and i would like 2 buy it i was wondering where
@Sam Soong
Smart choice buddy. I have been using net10 for a year and have literally spent less then 200$ on phone service. I cannot believe how low the rates are with Net10. Like yourself Sam I never used to be a mad texter either, although now paying such low rates I text cuties all the time.
Does anyone know when the samsung r355c for net10 comes out?
I think it’s out now… check Net10’s website !!!
SORRY Chillwill….. It was on Straight Talk website, not Net10…. My bad !!!
Same phone but with much better rates IMHO… $30 for 1000 minutes and 1000 txt’s and 30mb of mobile web or $45 for total unlimited every 30 days… NOT BAD AT ALL…
I want to know… If you buy the samsung r355c from net10 and change it to straight talk, Is that possible to do????
Straight Talk will only activate a “Straight Talk” phone. While both the Net10 and Straight Talk 355s are the same, even have same prepaid software, they probably have Net10 IMEIs (serial numbers) designated for only Net10 use and likewise with Straight Talk.
I agree this is a great Net10 phone for texting. The screen is pretty big … looks almost like a blackberry but even with better/bigger keyboard!
I can’t believe Net10 finally came out with a Smartphone. The Samsung looks really good. My friend has it and he loves the full QWERTY pad. I am using the LF Flip and it has lasted me over 6 months. When I get a little extra money, I am going to go ahead and upgrade to this phone. I used to have the iPhone but when it cracked, I promised I would never blow so much money on a phone. This phone, however, I would not mind getting because they are so inexpensive.
buy it on e-bay
For those of you that have the 355 for either Straight Talk or NET10, you can get a case or cover here. They have bundled sets too.
@regenia parker
$99.00
K-Mart
does this have a character limit when texting?? my phone now has 160 character limit and was wondering if this phone did
I spend $15 a month on net10 service.
I bought the t401g on black friday for $40
I miss my palm treo 700p but sprint’s lowest plan is $35.
It’s good if you talk a lot at night or weekends, since it’s free nights and weekends, but no roaming.
With net ten, I can go anywhere and it costs the same, and if you have a decent phone, the service is the same as any other carrier, because net10 uses the same cell towers as other carriers.
If you think the service is bad, take a look at the phone your using.
You get what you pay for.
Right now the r55c or whatever is on sale for $80 (will still be $90 out the door)
I may get it, but I’m not sure I will like it…
