I can't speak to its battery life on talk time because I've never had a long enough phone conversation to determine it. The battery life on standby time is about 4 days. Not surprisingly, then, the LG 300 is nothing to write home about.īut I will say this - the LG 300 is sleek and one of the most compact and lightweight mobile phones I've seen. It's just a bare-bones, no-frills phone that's reminiscent of the mobile phones in the 90's. are being incorporated into mobile phones, the LG 300 is a severely stripped-down phone that doesn't have ANY of the aforementioned features. In this age where Bluetooth, WiFi, touchscreen, mp3/video players, FM radio, GPS navigation, PDAs, memory expansion slots, voice recognition, web browsers, digital cameras, polyphonic ringtones, etc. (it doesn't say this anywhere on the package!)(this was one of the reasons I switched)(another being a warning email from T-mob that my service term was about to expire a week AFTER my service expired, thus losing 5.5 hours of talk-time). Not like the $10 T-mob card I got at a 'Target' that netted me 30 MINUTES!
I believe I even saw a phone card (Dollar Gen?) for $10 for 100 minutes. You CAN'T BEAT this guy's deal! Phone and two chargers, case (magnetic clasp is nice!) and the stupid ear buds all came quickly and for less than the talk-time would cost!!! I beleive if I get another such 'deal' on eBay with a nice, big clam-shell phone that the minutes and number can be rolled-over into the new one. I called tech support and aft er asking the Asian person to slow down and enunciate about a dozen times, I gave up and ended the call (I had asked for a person whose "native language is English" but the techie ignored/probably no such person within a thousand miles).
N.B.: upon activation the SIM card is permanently usable in only THAT phone. So you have to do an up-and-back to see what menu item you're on! One 'bad' is that the item on the menu is outlined in.dark blue (can't read the damn thing!). A "micro"phone.īeing only 4" long and light, I have to pat myself down to see if I'm carrying it! And I feel as if I have to move it from ear to mouth when using (not necessary). The Net10 service seems to be working out just fine (did get a non-connect warning "For Emergency Use Only" in a few outlying areas). Prepaid! No more $60-a-month bills! Roll-over!
