This phone has nice features and seems quite robust. This was a deal to get three of them for the price. My intention was to disassemble them for parts. This phone is very modular and easy to piece out. The whole screen assembly comes out easy and snaps firmly into a socket. Screen replacement will be a "snap." Dealing with TracFone for SIMs can be a major hassle as they don't like to send an AT&T SIM when a phone comes with a T-mobile SIM. They will come through eventually. The dialing numbers are large. It feels good and the sensory feedback of touching the numbers and letters makes it feel like a regular keypad. I received my shipment from Hawaii quicker than merchandise from the next state.

I stepped up to the LG 800G cell phone (TracFone) from another model where the display was much smaller and the icons and text were harder for older eyes to read. This semi-smartphone design has a large, bright screen with very clear text display and reasonably sensitive capacitive touch screen. Purchasing and registering this model at TracFone gives you triple minutes for life - a great value! In my area, they use the ATT network and the coverage has been excellent. The phone has a very smooth, rounded glossy case and can slip from your hand easily. I highly recommend a silcone skin case or rubberized snap on case for a reliable grip. The phone has a 2 mb. camera with reasonable quality with still and video capabilities. You can add a micro SD card for music storage (4 gb. max.). It also offers an easy to activate Bluetooth setup. A small con; the battery cover is extremely had to remove with no easy grip. Another issue; if you are changing from another Tracfone, it takes up to 72 hours for the service to transfer. It took me 2 phone calls to support (they were very professional) to get the proper minutes and service to display correctly, but everything if fine now. Right now, I would consider this unit one of the best values in an under $50.00 Prepaid cell phone.Read full review
Both My mom and I jokingly call it our MC Phones("Mentally Challanged" Phones) because they are Java phones,not "smart phones" I got this phone for my mother originally to replace her dying Tracphone(to many drops/age..the phone,not my mother) and I was impressed with its features enough to move my number from a recentlty bought Tracfone to replace malfunctioning tracphone as the replacement had too small buttons on a mini qwerty board (I have big fingers/bad eyesight)and the web and ok buton being the same button causing accidental .5 deductions a lot The 3 buttons send,back,and end/power make for easy answerig of incoming calls even if the phone is locked while the back button will give you the time in large numbers and the virtual unlock button on the touch screen when locked A neat feature of dara entry mode for contacts,notepad or texting is you can choose virtual keypad,virtual qwerty,or handwrting(Thats right this phone has "signature reconition") It isn't mentioned anywhere in the documentation I had but in order to do cable linking or direct mini-sd card transfers of java games/apps,pictures and mp3 you first have to format the mini-sd card either in windows or in the phone settings otherwise the phone formats as needed and cable/direct to mini-sd transfers dont work properly(mp3s wont play/apps not found or wont work,pictures cant be viewed...all claim "wrong format") The speaker option for hands free is decent as is it for playing mp3 and it has a "mixer" option to increase base and such..mixed sound is pretty good for a phone speaker...also comes with a 3.5 headset/audio jack The phone comes with 2 games and supports java games if you are in to that (good time killer while waiting at doctor office) Camera takes crisp pictures though has typical cellphone camera problems with lighting and sudden changes in lighting..also can switch to video mode Overall it is a great phone for the priceRead full review
Great phone if you are looking to cut cost on the phone bill. I just needed a phone to call and text with. I don't talk on the phone that much so a Tracfone was a smart decision for me. $10 a month via their website and with the triple minutes the phone gives me I get 150 minutes each month which is plenty for me. And with Tracfone you text 3 separate times and it cost only one minute. Tracfone has many different minutes options. The phone features … it takes forever to try and download something and the web pages come in very slow. And the search pages are like the old phones. A pages with pre-choosen choices to view on the internet i.e. ringtones, music, directions. And it cost minutes to buy anything and minutes to search for it. If you got that kind of money to spend minutes searching and buying on the internet then you need to get a regular phone plan. Cricket is unlimited every thing for $50 each month. You'll spend $50 in minutes just searching for a ringtone. Overall is a great emergency phone or great for someone like me that does not use the phone that much.Read full review
