I've had this LG phone for a year now. It was a few minutes to port over to the existing number. It doesn't have the bells and whistles; no camera, basic internet browsing and limited viewing space, but reception is outstanding. With AT&T, I had to keep my land line as a backup because I couldn't be sure I would get all my calls. No worries now. And the piece of mind of unlimited minutes for calls is priceless. For the money, it's a winner.
I bought this phone(Aug 09)to try out Straight Talk wireless. Previous phone plan was $83 & change every month. Straight Talk's plan offered similar plan to what I had. This phone worked GREAT right out of the box. I worried about customer service-I had read other peoples struggles. Not only was my number transfered properly, it was done within minutes-literally. The call quality was much better than I expected, plus I had service where friends with iExpensivetoy phones didn't. Phone came w/a lot of ringtones(30+) pre-loaded, not too bad. Tones weren't too generic, some got old after 8-10 months,but you can customize specific tones to numbers, text, alert, alarm, etc. The phones web browser was ok- it wasn't super fast, but you could google, use ebay, get directions, etc. Web browser quit working after phone was thrown out window. **BUT the PLUS side about the customer service-and this company- was when I called about non-working browser & they couldn't fix it, they offered to send me a NEW PHONE(same model)at NO COST(replacing it OVER a YEAR AFTER purchase)- only catch - I would be with out a phone for the time to send current phone to them & time to wait to get new phone. I was told this could take 3 days for it to reach them, then up to 2-3 days for new phone to get to me.But, I had decided I wanted to upgrade(before I called) so I declined their offer- BUT had to let people know this company may have shot in the dark customer service, but hang in there and call back if you have to, they will do their best to work with you and make you happy. (Offering a replacement phone on a $30 pre-paid is quite remarkable. Previous carrier I was w/didn't do this & I had insurance on phone) Customer Service is hit or miss but make sure you have time to call(more than 10 minutes- offer to replace phone took almost 35 min) Even if you have issues with customer service- its hard to beat what you get for the money. Plus, no contract gives you the freedom to opt for whatever plan you need from month to month.
I just have to say that this little phone is a keeper. I got it for my husband when his Verizon contract ended. It's similar to his old phone, but has more to offer. I was really shocked when it took me all of 15 minutes to activate and port his same phone number. I was expecting problems because of the reviews I have read here. Not a single problem!! I followed the directions included and he now has twice as many minutes for less cost. I activated online early in the morning. Read the literature, charge the phone first, and follow the directions. You won't be sorry. It's not a fancy phone, but it's not a fancy price either. No complaints here.
After using at&t for years and paying 150-160/month for 2 phones, I decided enough was enough. I purchased two phones, this one for me, and a more expensive one for my daughter. My phone don't have all the bells and whistles the expensive phones do, but what it lacks in style, it makes up for in reception. I don't know if it's just my area (north central AR) but this phone blows at&t away on reception. Saving 60-70$ a month, I can overlook not having a camera.
This is an economical phone that is pretty basic, and does NOT have a camera. The battery life is excellent so far; I've kept it turned on for 3 days now, and it shows a full charge. Some people have complained about this on other sites/forums, but, you have to charge the battery first, like the instructions say! The only real problem I've come across is that I can't get the bluetooth to work with my car stereo. I had a Samsung phone previously, where all I had to do was turn the bluetooth on in it, and my car recognized it in like 5 seconds. Not this LG so far. I'm still looking into the matter... But, with the big cell phone companies (Verizon, ATT, etc) charging ridiculous rates, this is a good way to go to save on bills. To anyone who is interested in buying a tracfone/straighttalk plan, The only downfall with the 1000 minute and 1000 text plan from is that there are no free nights and weekends minutes.
I finally had it with my current company after they convieniently did a temp disconnect on the same day that I was to be eligible for an upgrade, a new phone, and a different plan.All due from being told by them to wait for credit due on my bill.When I called and told them my phone was accidently turned off, they said I had to pay the full amount of the bill even though it was the wrong amount and in the area of over $300, then I would receive credit in 6-8 weeks!!So I wenrt to Walmart after that and talked to several customers I picked this phone with this plan and so far I have had no problems. Easy to navigate and set up, plenty of minutes and text and a decent amount of MB for web browsing. Who cares if it doesn't have a camera. Besides most cell phones with cameras are hooked to the company photosite and if you disconnect you are not allowed access anymore so you lose all your pictures anyway.This is an LG phone good quality fast texting and fairly fast web connects.No doubt in my mind I will continue with this phone and the company.And I pay the same amount every month and no longer have to worry about overages and access fees and exise fees and whatnot fees.Its great. Get it.Just remember when you go online to activate to let the person on the phone know that this is a phone package with minutes already attached and that you dont have to purchase a minutes card seperately even though they might argue with you re-process your activation and it will go through without the need of entering a pin from a minutes card as you wont need a pin with this package then after that you can autopay setup and they will tell you exactly how much they will charge and you can even set up the day you want to pay. That's nice. It made me a prepaid believer now after all these years of overpaying all those other cell phone companies.!!
There are many reasons my wife, and I chose to live in what most city dwellers would consider to be the wild. As with most decisions, one will way up all the pros, and cons, and make a (or at least attempt) calculated decision. Before the battle of the weigh up, we never even included cell phone coverage into this contest. This came quite naturally, seeing that we certainly wouldn't be moving to a remote area to be more 'connected'. But the issue of not being connected at all, did raise concern. When this reality settled, and I finally shed all the denial, that can crop up when you have to put your iphone to one side, we decided to get a tracfone. I learnt (by the demise of my iphone's GSM coverage) that CDMA was the only way to go here, and that pretty much covered the phone's criteria. Needless to say the phone itself had to perform miracles, by setting signal in the most improbable of places. And sound legible. We first chose one of the cheapest tracfones we could find. Thinking that a cheap phone would be very good at doing the very basic. Only then to realize that getting signal wasn't only about the network you are on. We went back, and got this lg220 on the recommendation of the salesperson at walmart. And it's performed quite brilliantly. In short, this phone has performed small miracles n improbable places.
If it's a small business you're running, and if what you need is reliable coverage, strong phone, controllable expenses, and a battery life that lasts at least seven days - then you should definitely consider this tracfone. I used to furnish all my motors with contract phones. And because they were all contract phones, I used to get into a bit of a state come the end of the month - hey it's too easy to add those minutes. But mostly the roaming charges hurt me. And by a bit of a state, I'm being entirely kind. I crossed to tracfone many years ago, and have had numerous different entry level phones. Entry level, cause all I need the drivers to do is text the office, of phone if need be. This phone (and I've gotten another four since the first one), I consider to be a bit of an upgrade from the previous phones I bought. Not only because it cost a step up from the previous phones, but most importantly for the comms I get out of the city, and also very importantly, the battery life gives me easily more than a weeks worth of activity. The battery life being at least seven days strong, is very important for one reason - they can all go into one office, be charged, and be checked for the minutes status. You can charge them on every other occasion, but for the purposes of routine, and accountability, it suits my business perfectly. As far as coverage is concerned, I made sure that the phones are all on the CDMA network. It took me a years worth of consternation to figure out that which network you can roam of best was vitally important to saving money. Regarding this phone however, I have never had a problem connecting. And that's keeping account of the fact that I've had other cheaper, CDMA phones, that did occasionally drop calls, and not get signal in the rurals. I have two gripes, one of which is easily solvable. The browser button is far too easy to activate, and needlessly deduct minutes of the phone. This is fixed by locking the button - something one of my drivers caught on to. Secondly, I've had two phones giving me trouble, and in the ensuing fight with patience speaking with their customer services, I've adopted a policy of, rather just buy another phone. It's cheap enough, and it saves me a little bit of sanity.
I got this phone as my first phone on my 12th birthday. My parents picked it for its low cost, effective plan, and they did not trust me with a camera/picture mail. It worked wonderfully for a year, however, if it was dropped it would turn off and then back on, which can be a bother. The battery life was long and strong at first, but quickly dwindled. The inbox only holds 200 text messages until it rejects messages, and the outbox only holds 50 (but the outbox had a great feature-autodelete! If only the inbox had that...). I never had a problem with the memory for contacts and pictures, but the only way to get pictures was to save them off of the mobile web (I had 176+ contacts, by the way.). The mobile web works great, but to scroll down on the pages took FOREVER. If you're looking for a mobile web-friendly phone that you'll be using to get on the internet frequently, this is not the phone for you. The speed of the internet was average. There is a built-in calculator, calendar, and notepad. ALSO-if you save photos onto your phone via the internet, you cannot send them. You also can't receive pictures, which is kind of a given. Though this phone worked great for roughly a year, after that period, a little black spot developed on my phone, frequently known throughout my house as my phone's "birthmark". It was inside the screen, almost as though the screen was shut off in that section. The birthmark grew and grew, to the point where I was completely blind to over half of the screen, which made texting VERY difficult. If you are looking for a temporary, basic phone, this is perfect. However, if you are looking for a more high-quality, longer-lasting phone, this is not for you.
My phone worked great at first. Loved the price and the phone. Then it started to try to shut down about everytime I went to use it. I called for help and was told by someone who was very nice but did not speek clear english that it was a bad phone and to take it back to walmart for a new one. I did. The same thing again after I put alll my phone numbers in and went to call. It would go to the LG screen.I lost the $30 of service I had bought.I did get the money back from the phone.
