This phone gives me exactly what I wanted, lots of features and easy to use. True, it's not a smart phone, but I'm one of the only people who doesn't need one. Seems to keep a charge well, at least several days with minimum use. The keys for texting are REALLY small, but I use my nails and it's fine. And yes, the other reviews about the Web key are right, I always hit it accidentally and if you don't cancel immediately you will be charged. Highly recommend locking your keyboard while in your purse or pocket.

For a kid start out with the ten minutes and let them use it up! Then buy the year after they get used to the limitations of minute phones! The single thing that makes this phone worthwhile is that for about $35.00 for this phone and $78.00 for a year card with 400 minutes which equals 1200 minutes plus a PROMO CODE I FOUND ON TRACFONE FOR 250 MORE MINUTES ON THEIR WEBSITE for a grand total of 1460 minutes AND a year plus (60 OR 90) days on the phone. QWERTY Keys are tiny and hard to read! Numbers are a group of keys on this board and even harder to use EXCEPT FOR A CHILD whose hands are smaller!!!! MY 12 year old DAUGHTER was able to get it to store songs for her by recording thru the input! but I am not sure how! TEXTING USES UP ONE HALF MINUTE PER TEXT! BOTH INBOUND AND OUTBOUND! aND OF COURSE TRACFONE TEXTS YOU USING UP MINUTES! REGISTRATION with TracFone is CUMBERSOME AND requires another phone WITH LOTS OF MINUTES AND IS EXTREMELY CUMBERSOME INVOLVING ACCRUATELY INPUTTING SEVERAL 15 DIGIT NUMBERS or an internet connection to get started! This is a triple minute phone! It comes with 10 minutes ONLY AFTER ACTIVATION which is not enough to add more minutes! MINUTES are used FOR BOTH INBOUND AND OUTBOUND CALLS! See the TracFone site for a current promo code to add extra minutes when topping up. This LG phone has few after market items available! LG has little info on its website and none at all on its uk site. Phone supports BLUETOOTH but I am not sure how to work it to perhaps add features! ACCESSORIES: LG and TracFone have very little on their websites on this phone. Calling LG however yielded that Amazon carries their accessories! And that as i understand the phone uses some form of LINUX by TracFone, which if true means that it MIGHT have potential to be a really nice smartphone! Cords use Standard plug. Thank Goodness! Screen protectors ARE AVAILABLE (BUT I THINK ONLY ON AMAZON!AND PERHAPS NOWHERE ELSE ON THE WEB!) I would love to see more on this phone from someone who is more phone savvy than I am! If this phone uses LINUX based OS then It should be a simple thing to force them to come up with the full source of the OS changes due to copyright sharing restrictions on almost all free operating systems.Read full review
The only reason I gave 4 stars for features is because you can't save wma files as ringtones, like I could on my Samsung Freeform III. But that was with another carrier, which I didn't like. But this LG is the best phone I have ever had. The MP3 Player is awesome. It is remarkably fast on the internet. It's ultra thin, which is cool. It has good battery life and a real value for the money I paid for it and free shipping to boot. I have read some reviews about how owners didn't like the center button because it toggles. I have had no trouble whatsoever with the center navigation button. All in all this is a great bargain for what you get. I would definately recommend this phone for the features, the price and the sturdiness of the phone. And if you are planning on transferring your cell number and minutes through Tracfone, don't wait too long to get assistance. I was without service for 2 days. Don't email Tracfone (because the don't answer) just call the number on your activation card and when you get ahold of a customer service rep ask for Aldo or Ariel. If it weren't for this two wonderful people, I would probably still be without service. They took care of my problem, by having me add certain codes into the phone. Just don't want anybody to go through the hassle I did.Read full review
I hesitated purchasing this because some of the reviews said that it butt dials 911. I have had no such issues. For the money, I am very pleased. It is very easy to use. My only complaint is the browser button is located where it is easy to hit accidentally. Would highly recommend this for individuals that use their cell phones as I do--occasionally text and call. YOu can't beat the value.
Texting, Call quality and performance is excellent. Battery lasts long before recharging. Bluetooth functions excellent. I don't use the phone for the internet. Would recommend.
