This is an excellent, basic phone for making calls, very easy to use. The speakerphone feature is loud and clear. Battery life is excellent. Phone is small and compact. Distinctive rings can be assigned to specific numbers. Phone stores hundreds of numbers. Camera is very basic but useful in an emergency, though Verizon charges to send photos. One can buy a cord to download them from the phone. I can't rate Internet ability because I never used that feature, though I feel that is best left for smartphones. It can be used for texting as well, though the keypad makes that impractical as one must hit the same key 1, 2, or 3 times to enter a specific letter and 4 times for a number. I bought this phone to replace the identical one, which went through the wash cycle. Needless to say, no phone is likely to work after going through the washing machine, though until that happened, the phone had survived being dropped in wet snow, and a brief dip in the swimming pool. The original lasted for at least 5 years of hard use, and I expect the same of the replacement. If you're looking for simple, reliable, durable, inexpensive and compact, this is it. As this is an old model, it is unlikely to find one that's new without paying a premium for it, but used ones in good condition seem to be plentiful as of mid 2016.Read full review

this is a great phone, its my third one. the only problem is, and its a large problem, is that the battery is not lasting. on my other phones the battery lasted 3 times longer.

I am not a power user by any means. I'm not interested in web surfing, emails, music or videos on my phone; but it's nice to know I can when I need to. I really wanted a basic, quality, flip phone and this one is solid, stylish, and pretty easy to use. The display is much sharper than my old Katana. I love that I can see the date and time clearly on the front without having to put on my reading glasses. I love being able to adjust the size of text in the display. The voice quality and speaker are good. Exceptions: The rubberized keys aren't the easiest to press; sometimes I wind up using my finger nails. I am a little concerned though that a couple of times the phone did not ring when a call came in. It did ring to notify me of voice mail. I hope that will not be a frequent occurrence. I chose Verizon's $50 unlimited, prepaid plan and saved over $100 on this phone buying it on Ebay instead of from Verizon. I think Verizon has now lowered its price.Read full review
UPDATE (Jan 2017): I wrote the original review below in 2011. I loved it then and I still LOVE it. I can't imagine any cellphone being so reliable and durable. I'm amazed that I haven't changed the battery and it still lasts weeks before needing a charge. Original review (Nov 2011): I bought this phone to replace a Samsung I got when I started Verizon Pre-Pay service a couple years ago. This LG beats the Samsung in every way. I especially like the longer battery life. It is also good that pressing any outside buttons while phone is closed does not impact the phone at all. I can open this LG with gloves on; whereas I couldn't open the Samsung even with bare hands without much trouble. One note, I did not get the $10 free air time, probably because I did not sign up as a new customer, but merely changed phones.Read full review
