Verizon LG Extravert VN271 for Verizon PostPaid or Page Plus Cellular RB Refurbished

I wasn't able to delete draft text messages. I would select erase all and nothing would happen. Had my phone for less than two months and the screen froze. I wasn't able to power it back on or off. I would only see the LG logo on the screen.

Phone drops calls constantly. The touch screen software does not work properly: almost impossible to scroll the list. It picks first touch as the selection and changes screen. Reception is very poor even with a full bar service.

Works well then after a while of using constantly the screen gets glitchy then breaks and it becomes even more frustrating to use. At least make it tougher

So, this phone doesn't have a ton of bells and whistles, but it has been a decent phone for the last two years. I've always kept this phone in a case, because it feels too slippery without one, and it's extremely sturdy. I've dropped it a few times (usually just falling off my lap or something like that), but it doesn't have a ding on it. I also use it with a screen protector. Early on there were some issues with picture messages not being the right size, but I think that was a Verizon issue that was fixed... Other than that, I've really had no significant issues with the phone. I've used it mainly for texting, talking, as a calendar, and as an alarm clock, and it's served me very well. Only recently have I had issues with the touchscreen not registering when I press something and the "m" key on the keyboard either not working or typing too many "m"s at once. But that's only in the last couple of months. The battery life also used to be about a week. Now it's down to 2-3 days with moderate use, but that's expected from an old phone, anyway. If you're looking for a decent, no-frills phone, then this is a great choice.

It's very easy to use, I'd recommend it to a first time phone user. It is very hard to break it, hence, I've dropped it numerous times on many different types of hard surfaces. The phone only has minimal scratches and still functions well. I only have to charge the phone every three or four days if I really barely use it.
