Motorola T-191 was My First GSM Phone which I brought almost 4 Years back.
Its still in Great Working condition but the battery life came down to 1 day.
This model was Great and Good Looking in its Time, few years back. But NOW you can Get a Color or Camera phone if you Spend few more bucks.
If you are looking for a Basic Phone You can Try Motorola C-115, Motorola C-118 or Similar kinds. There are other Models in LG and Samsung which are offering cam phones if you can spare few more bucks.
I will never recommend a Nokia Model because of its size and the average battery-life.
I cant find any malfunction with this phone, however for todays times I wont Recommend a Phone with an Antenna and which was Designed 5 Years back.
Better stick to Motorola Models if you are looking for Durabilty & Value for Money.
