Motorola Razr V3 Internet Setup in 2019 

2 days, 7 hours and 24 and-a-half minutes later..... I'm online! Your patience is truly inspiring ;)

Just tried this on a V3 here in Germany with a T-Mobile Sim aswell. Worked immediately. Thanks for the awesome guide!

One more year of 2G. Enjoy it while you still can!

it was very tough for me to find a good video on the razr before I bought one, thank you man.

Thanks for dropping by on my video man! You’ve got some great tips here :)

Thank you very much Mr. Beck for taking your time to make this very _educational_ video. All the Best.

Thanks man, I used use these 18-19 years ago and now have got my hands on a v3t from Vietnam & your video helped access the internet; thanks man appreciate it

such a neat little browser. used it non-stop on my krazr

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.

Cool! I wanted flip phone.again! I haven't had one over 8 years ago

Not sure why I got this rec’d, but I don’t regret watching it! All my co-workers were on the Moto train back in the day, and I was the only one with with a Blackberry Pearl 😆 Always wanted one, though. They were verrrrry nice and very reliable phones.

I love that phone a lot I wish it comes back in the world

Really working. Good ur step by step installing and set up this phone.

You are amazing :) thank you for making these videos on Razr's there really isn't much info online about how to do stuff like this

Was a work of art In the tech industry back when I was graduating high school and starting college 2004 I believe

Thanks so much for this vid btw, I can only imagine the trial and error that was involved with this!

Hey Thanks to your video now I can go Web on my Motorola razr v3i with the opera mini browser

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

Pure quality video. Thank you sir.

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.

Thank you! It was really helpful

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 you very much! it still working on my phone!

Wow..., lo instale el archivo Jar al teléfono vintage y ahora tengo internet, gracia compañero.

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.

just bought a new "old" razr , im so happy

thank u for this video! in Europe it's still possible to use these 😊

Thanks for this video content! It's very informative!

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.

you go man. have 2 pink ones from way back att has a 15$ month plan. gonna break that bad boy out. the "hello moto" was much cooler then ty 4 the info fits in your pocket better too

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

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!

I got Tetris game to work! :)

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?

thx so much i need this vid bc iv had one for 5 year now and never had internet it was pretty anoying so thxs so much

So many of these were under the loop at Disneyland lol I'd remember seeing them before you get on the ride.

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?

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.

I love this phone small but might

DAMNN I want one of thesee

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 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.

Just a question, is the razr compatible with Bluetooth speakers, headphones, and other things like that?

I had this in college ‘twas a big hit then... Lasted for four solid years

Opera mini was the browser back in the day when I had moto slvr l6, l7 and l9. Always wanted the razr but alas!

Can you use Verizon v3m with TMOBILE SIM

Impressive

Would've been cool if you could program the internet key to open the Opera browser

It works haha crazy guy thx

5 years later it will still be working?I will try

Wow good old days I had a rizer in 2007

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.

Can a Pocket PC phone still load music? Like for example, Windows Media files pulled from Bandcamp or stuff loaded from emails? My teacher is sending me loops of my favorite songs, and I was wondering if they can still work with Windows Media, since they are partly made by Microsoft.

Dane Beck I have a verizon v cast razr will it work Thru that???

Amazing, thx, did you know of a way of charging it via pc on win 10? i haven't found the right drivers yet

can i use my iphone?

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!

Hi there. It's 2022 and I don't use my old Motorola V3 Flip but there are some videos I would like to try and retrieve that I was never able to in the past. Do you know of a way I can transfer them in this day and age?

Hi Dane is your Razr still working right at this moment? 2020? i’ve seen alot of Motorola Razr Silver models here in Bangkok i want to get one any advice on situations like the 2020? Thanks 😌🙏🏼

I found the same file transfer app as you used, but the transfers never go through on my RAZR V3C.

Hm, mine says failed to connect to internet. I did everything else right with the transfer. I can’t get online. :(

A new OG razr video when the new razr smart phone is available

you are a machanic of mobiles

Now T-Mobile send SIM updates that automatically programs GPRS/EDGE settings in the phone. Unfortunately 2G will shut down April 2nd, 2024

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?

Oh, btw, what is really surprising is that I was born in April 2004 and around the time I was born, there are GameCube (I used to have one of those/played with it before; very very very new video game consoles are WAY TOO EXPENSIVE and that’s why I prefer old/cheap video game consoles), The Incredibles (Even though this was released about 6 months after I was born), etc., 3 months after I was born, Razr came out. I don’t think my mom have it when I was born, because she said she don’t have it. Several people I knew said they had it though. One time my shop teacher said he had a father-in-law who uses a Razr (At first I was kinda confused by that when he said he can call and text with it, since I thought old cell phones doesn’t have internet anymore because I thought once your service got expired, there is no way to revive the service but after several months, I get totally get it now.)

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

Can I go with T mobile even if it has the Verizon logo

hey dane thanks alot for the hard work, im having a slightly different issue i cant seem to find the settings to enable mms and internet on my phone for att, i actually have the razr2 with 3g. i can only find the apn settings as if i had a smartphone, and im using tracfone with att towers. do you know anything about getting those settings and putting them in

How do I get Tetris on this phone please help me :)

Great Job! I just got mint V3 from eBay; bummed that I'll only get a year use out of it though...

With 2G gone now, what Razrs came with 3G and can still be used on T-mobile? Im a t-Mo post paid user who would like to pop my SIM into a 3G Razr. Any comments appreciated!

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

Thankyou bro

Does the original Razr supports a StraightTalk and a Bluetooth?

Hello, my parents took a few videos and pictures of me and my sister when we where kids but the phone won't turn on at all. Is there a way to extract data while the phone is dead/off? The phone is structurally intact, externally, it looks fine, maybe there's an internal issue? with the battery? Anyways, I want to extract photos/videos from a dead phone and don't know how to.

maybe this is a dumb question but is there a way to connect it to wifi?? with mods or something idk

I want to use it but it says unable to use help

How about rogers do they still hook this phone up

Hi, can I know if you can still browse the net with this phone in 2021?; coz my Arc S couldn't do that anymore due to that TLS 1.2 thing (only a few sites like google, youtube are displaying). And if you know an alternate workaround to fix it, please let me know... Thanks

I have a Samsung SGH E850 which has WAP on it. would I still be able to use WAP now?

can you make a tutorial on how to set up internet on a V3i?

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?

Hey, would you be about to transfer a nano SIM card to this phone with a micro SIM card adapter ?

Hey what kind of network that OG Razr covers? (Any type of connection)

I love to used this phone for my main bc i love flip phones but i dont have T-Mobile

is there still time to get a razr under t mobile??:(

Как називаеца праграма?

Your a legend

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.

Hi! I bought a sim card with Speedtalk after double checking with them that the IMEI was compatible (they said it was/is) but am having trouble getting to it to work at all, let alone data. When I called T mobile they don't me that they weren't doing 2g anymore. Has anyone found that to be the case? California based if that makes a diff? xx

Will it work if you have a vodafone sim card in?

Please give me link of the internal memory app

the default browser works for me - in germany at least. it just seems that it does not support the https protocol.

dose it have to be connected to the phone to work

When I tried installing opera mini, it will say it failed to connect to the internet. Have you ever had that issue? The regular browser still works though. Thanks!

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.

Thank u

i need help. i can get bluetooth all find , however i cant get any service to make calls . any suggestions please

Opera mini ❤
