If you planned on having an Samsung Android in which it not so high on the price aka quite cheap, this Samsung Galaxy Proclaim can be one of the choice. It would be available under 200USD I guess.
Of course, having this such price means that the specifications had by this SCH-S720c isn’t good as the high end phone or the expensive one. And if you like to elaborate what the Proclaim capable for and do for, It is better that you read the Manual in which it discuss the features and some applications and capabilities of the phone — in case for consideration before your decided to have it.
Oh one more thing to make it clear about the Net10 and StraightTalk. It means that the Proclaim designed to use CDMA technology along with Net10 and StraightTalk carrier. It currently support EVDO Rev.A up to 3.1 Mbps with CDMA100 800/1900Mhz and also CMDAOne 800/1900Mhz. Of course some basic functions for connectivity such as Wi-Fi portable hotspot and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g type, Bluetooth and USB via microUSB version 2.0 also available.
Samsung Galaxy Proclaim Manual SCH S720C User Guide Resume
There is nothing much I can tell about the User Manual / User Guide of this Proclaim. If you try to find basic applications usage available on this phone, you can go to section 11: Applications in which in this section you can find a lot of tutorial about how to use the apps. It including the Camera, Clock, Alarm, Google Books, Calculator, Google Latitude, Google Place, Taks Manager and more. See the detail on page 82 to page 89.
The picture that we gave you above can be seen also on page 18 to page 20. That would help you to understand the Galaxy Proclaim and operate it properly. Such as for the back side you can see the 3Megapixel camera lens, the microphone or USB and power port. In the user Manual it also provided the detail of each part/keys functions, but we arranged differently for better and quick understanding. for example on p.19 Volume keys has details function likes “From home screen, press to adjust Master Volume, During calls or music plyaback, press to adjust volume, Press to mut the ringtone of an incoming call; Power/Lock key: Press and hold to turn the phone on or off. Press to lock the phone or to wake the screen for unlocking”
And for Factory data reset, you can find the tutorial at page 109. I said that this master/hard reset would erase all data from Proclaim’s memory and reest all the settings back to its original. Go to Menu Key > Settings > Privacy > Factory data reset > Do the reset > Follow the rest. If you want to delete installed SD card, you can select the Format SD card option too.

Usually, it can be done by using power button and home button combination. Try this: press power button, then press home button fro about 2 seconds.
LC89 says
Didn’t work
BrianaCosey says
You have to press home button first, then the power/lock button. Be careful to not press the home button for too long though because another menu will pop up and ruin your shot.

marcy says
I just got a samsung galaxy proclaim. When I place or recieve a call the person on the other end cant hear me very well. My voice is muffeled or they cant hear me at all.
Suluh says
1. It can be the speaker. 2. It can be your SIM card with its data networks. Try to change the SIM to others phone, if the problem still occurred, ask your provider carrier help. Otherwiser, you just need to get your phone to Samsung Service center to fix your phone’s problem.
ChazInMT says
This CDMA phone doesn’t have a SIM card numnutz. Have you put a phone cover on your Proclaim? If so, make sure the tiny little microphone hole isn’t covered on the bottom edge of the phone next to the MicroUSB power port. Chck to make sure this isn’t plugged up as well. My 2¢.

Hello Everyone
I am from India and using Samsung Galaxy Y. Some days ago, I went to Samsung Service Centre, as got some water damage. And they checked that, and told me that the phone touch and jack are destroyed and have to replace these. I said okay coz my phone was under warranty. But they told me that they would charge me 4000/-. As it was near the half amount of new phone’s price. Then I went to another service centre and they told me to charge 1600/-. So I gave my phone to them as they were charging less amount then first one. But my some of friends told me that they have charged me unnecessarily. Because if our any product is under warranty, the company pay for their repair. So I contacted the centre for same but they didn’t respond me for my issue. So, I filed my complaint in Consumer Court. I just hope for great help from their side as soon as possible. I just shared my experience to aware you guys. I hope it worked.
Thanks!
andrea says
they usually don’t cover water damage. cheaper to buy phone probably
martha says

Valerie says
I accidentally removed a harassing voicemail message and want to retrieve it. I have spoken both with Straight Talk who told me it could be retrieved remotely and that it couldn’t be retrieved. I was told by Samsung Straight Talk should have a remote department who could access the message (Straight Talk said they do not have such a department). Straight Talk then told me to go through Verizon but I was unable to do so since the phone carrier is Straight Talk. Please help. I have spent over 2 hours making phone calls regarding this issue.
Suluh says
There is nothing I can do either. The voicemail was saved on the Carrier, before you deleted it. It might that the Straight Talk uses Verizon Voice Server Service to store your Straight Talk voicemail, that why they suggest you to talk to Verizon.
DeeDee says
Please help
I have reviewed your website and can not find the answer on this. I just recently deleted some important text messages and have spent hours on google trying to find out if there is a way to retrieve them. I have seen this question asked several times but I do not see responses.
Thank you in advance for input.
Suluh says
There are some software that have ability to retrieve deleted file or document, but are usually designed for hard drive under NTFS or FAT file systems (microSD/SSD). If your text messages were saved and deleted to/from SIM memory or phone’s internal memory, it might a little bit hard to retrieve it.
