VZW likes LG phones...but LG sucks
Why does VZW promote LG so much. Their reps love LG's all the time. Are VZW reps brainwashed??? Dont they know Moto and Nokia are the best brands???

hahaha...agreed....hey i would rather sell lg over moto any day.

hahaha...wake up out of that dream. did u know that when carriers purchase phones from manufaturers that LG's are sold for nearly half the price as Moto, Samsung, and Nokia because carriers wont buy LG phones at higher prices.
...
Well, I as a consumer and a rep, never went with Motorola until recently.. Prior, you couldn't pay me to own one... But that being said, from my own experience, ie (consumer and rep) I have learned it is not that a particular manufactuer is good or bad but some phones that are put out may be!.. Anyway, just my little 2 cents, LG is a major "producer of products" of which I think some turn out good and well some don't.. I have had a total of 3 phones in 5 yrs, one was a really old Audiovax, worked great, battery finally died. The next was an LG 4400 same thing as before, have had a Moto V325 for 10 months, so far so good! 😎
...
When I had my LG phones compared to motorola (that didn't have the new UI) my phone didn't last a day in battery life. One day a couple of weeks back in October, I made two phone calls and by 4pm my phone was down to its last notch on batt life. My phone calls were five minutes each. It sucks batt pretty quick, atleast the LG phones I have had.

Are you serious? UI has nothing to do with battery. IIRC you said you had reception issues, that will drag a battery down in a heartbeat. The phone keeps trying to access the network and will run down in a matter of hours. Again class, UI has nothing to do with sucking a battery dry. I've had two LG phones with the new UI, no problem.

I left VZW because the lied to me about LG phones being the best in reception even after I confronted them about my reception issues on the VX8100. When I tried to purhcase the e815 outright they said there would be a $15 ESN change charge even if I did it myself online... another untruth 👿
This was the corporate store in Fairfax, VA btw.

e815 one of the best of all time. great reception and great battery life. had the lg 8000 before and dropped calls everywhere. battery died quick too. so i bought e815 full retail and loved it.
...
the e815 was buggy and I wasn't a huge fan of the software...the reception was good, but the fact that you couldnt even scroll through your contact by more than one letter was a deal breaker for me.
...
83o0 could take the e815 anyday of the week! even with the verizon ui.
...
You are probably right. However, the 8300 is a current model and hopefully superior to last years 815. However, when comparing the 815 to the 8100, the 815 is the winner.
...
the Flash UI on the 8300 is way better than the moto UI that is on the e815...NO F'N DOUBT!!!

reception depends on where you are, my wife has an 815(supposed to be the one of the best for reception) well she drops calls out at my house and my chocolate does not. Now on a grand scale I would agree that motos may pick up a little better in most areas, but I swear they freaking lie about the signal meter, every moto I have had at my house (720,730.710,815,razr) all say 1-2 bars but drop calls, but my lg says 0-1 and none of them ever drop calls at my house? On the rep side the reason they push lg is very simple, they have far less issues! Now aside from the lg3200 battery issues most lg's are very solid where all the mid to low end motos in the past have been pure garbage, the 325 is much better and the razr v3m seems to be pretty solid...

And Motorola and Nokia are the best because you say so?? 🤣 🤣 🤣
LG makes great mid-range to high-end phones... in my opinion...
Motorola does too but I am really impressed with LG...

🤣 If we are so "brainwashed" why do the majority of reps carry LG for their personal phone? Reps sell what they believe to be the best equipment with the fewest issues. There is absolutely no reason for us to sell a product, or "push" a product that we know has issues and the fact of the matter is that LG has the fewest issues (Consumer Reports and other consumer rating systems have also supported this, not just "brainwashed reps). Glad you are happy with your Moto....we will see how long that really lasts. 🙄
...
I've had both LG and Motorola over the years before switching to a smart phone. I found that I liked Motorola phones back then more that I do now as it seems to be their quality has come down some but they still kick out some really good phones.
The LG phones that I have used in particular the VX-8000 I found to be a very solid phone with great reception and battery life for me. I didn't have any real problems with the phone and the Verizon UI worked well for me. I found that phone to have the best camera as far as camera phones that I have owned. I think that LG has come a long way and now competes head to head with Motorola as far a style, fashion and reliability goes with phones. When referring phones I tend to listen to a users need...

I happen to enjoy LG and samsung products very much. I wish we had a relationship with Sanyo too. I think they make the best feature laden phones in the industry. Motorola and nokia are far down my list.
...
LGs are best, then Nokia, Samsung, Pantech, and Motorola is worst.
Only my opinion, but LG phones work better than anything else on the market. THAT'S why Verizon promotes LG so much. 😎

LG's are way superior to any other brand out there...Evon if there were a closer brand it would be Samsung not Moto. or Nokia...LG's are the best phones out and They are what I recomend to customers and what I PERSONALLY use and prefer...

How could you guys say Moto sucks. They are the # 1 manufacturer of cell phones in the world and Nokia is #2. I always had Motos and I never had a problems with them.
The truth is these vzw reps( 😈 ) do make more comm off a LG sale. Thats why they always push them so much.

Your joking right? 🤣

Where do you get your stats from?? Nokia is the #1 manufacturer of phones....
🤨
🤨
...
No..Last year it was Moto and this is probably going to be the second year in a row that Moto is the # 1 manufacturer of cell phones. I'll find it later tonight. Im pretty sure if you look at the F/S of Moto it should be in there.
...
No, Moto is indeed the #2 manufature in the world, Nokia has been number #1 for sometime

🤣 🤣 actually, our company was given a sizable perk as an incentive to sell more Moto and everyone laughed. We still do not promote their phones. If I got paid more top sell LG, I would have retired at 25 years old. That was lame to assume. Yes, ASSUME. Get your facts straight.
...
Yeah I made a prediction cuz it always seems that the reps push LG. What do you have against Moto???
...
That wasn't a prediction you nub, you were trying to state it as a fact. 🙄
...
Yaahh, about that. If that was a prediction then Miss Cleo really was telling the truth.
The reality is, personal biases towards phones not withstanding, that you sell the more consistent phones. I will present 4 or 5 LG models for every Motorola or Samsung I have.
Why? Performance, price, and less hassle.
Some of the more recent Samsung offerings are resonable, I'm thinking of the 930 in this case, but otherwise they were either vastly overpriced (think the 970 and 990) or just plain lousy (the 500 and 600 series).
Nokia's are usually strong on signal and easy to use, but aren't something we carry a lot of here at our store. Unless the customer gravitates towards that phone or requests it specifically, it doesn't get a l...

The problems that we see in Motorola are mostly software issues. Screens fade or turn brown within the first 3 months or so, keypads stop working, they tend to drop an excess amount of calls, and the Moto 710 I used to carry would freeze when I scrolled through my contacts then do a total power cycle on its own. When the power would come back up I would have no service until I removed the battery to reboot it. I also see numerous Moto's being sent in for warranty repair with no apparent physical damage and Moto will return it unrepaired with a reason of liquid damage. On the few LG phones we have sent in, even with physical damage (customer admitted) LG will almost always send a replacement phone back to the customer at no charge. So in a nu...

that is not true Moto is not #1 in the world. But they are #1 in US

Moto is good (not necessarily better than LG) but CDMA Nokias have always been second rate. LG products for VZW are generally excellant ! ! !
...
LG phones are nice looking and have a great user interface but they fail at the most important function of a phone: actually making phone calls. Motorola and Nokia are clearly superior in actually connecting and completing calls. Those of you with the LG love affair must enjoy using phones to play games or something like that, since they are horrible at making calls. LG phones are made for kids, not adults.

🤣 🤣 WTF are you talking, are you smoking crack right now? The LG 8300 is the best phone on the market right now anyone with frigin clue knows this.
...
I completely disagree..I have an LG 8300 and it works everywhere i go and I travel a lot..My phone has never once failed to complete a call and it is always perfectly clear..It has also never ever dropped a call and it was the first one sold in my city..And yes it does have tons of options and I use it for those as well but it is also a good phone for calls.
...
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 yeah...ok....that is why I was at a corporate meeting in the basement of a Holiday Inn in a conference room and my LG 9800 was getting 2 bars, text messages, and received and made outbound calls with a Motorola Razor setting right next to me that had to be taken outside to get messages and make calls...try again 😈
...
Even though right now I think LG makes the better phone..look what verizon is doing right now..Every sign in our store is for the Razr and the 325..not one LG banner up anywhere..I'm a rep and I carry the 8300 and how do people accually think we would get paid more for selling an LG..right now its the better phone so just shut up..

they are trying to push out the razrs for the krzr and the 325 i believe is past it's date. so they are fazing it out. all the buy 1 get 3 V325's for free promos!
...
Its called a Motorola "Focus Period" One month its Samsung, next LG, next its Moto and they rotate, towards the end of this month it will change again. Remember when they were doing the 930 BOGO? That was a Sumsung focus period. I would think that the LG period is next.
...
The Audiovox 8910, Moto V265, Moto T720, and Moto V60p! Best phones ever!
...
🤣 🤣 🤣 can the cdma nokia phones even be considered nokia? didnt nokia outsource their cdma devision to pantech?
...
Yes all the new "Nokias" are actually made by Pantech (6315i for example)
...
also a note on this phone.
I am currently using the 8910 and its not as bad as everyone says it is. myabe i got a good one, but theres no huge issues with mine.
it was freezing up a lot for a while, but it stopped now and its working fine. mine also gets great reception and has good sound quality.

50% say user data being restored then just shut off, or you don't even get that privelage just a glowing green light on the front and nothing more, I have a hole box of them 🤣 If you got a good one go find some wood and knock on it it before it blows up. I will say this, take your battery off and see if it says audiovox only or if you have a ut starcomm logo under there as well. The ut starcom ones seemed a little better
...
Yeah mine says UTSTAR too. What is the green light thing? It will just turn on and stay on until you pull the battery?
...
I have three of them laying here when you hit the power button nothing happens but the green light comes on on the front of the phone and that is it.
...
probably not. ive seen alot of them with that problem, the only thing i can suggest is do a s/w update from the store on it and cross your fingers

So we hear VZDub reps don't get paid on phones. Reps might get chargebacks like every other sales position though. Employees are consumers before they are employees. 9 of 10 VZDub call center reps have LG's, the rest are scattered manufacturers. Do you think they get better pricing on LG phones than other manufacturers? Their family members have LGs. They recommend to their customers what works for them, their friends, and their families. Yea, there are a few bad LGs in the mix, but that is the case with every electronic product.
...
BINGO.
I am in sales for VZW. A good sales person (myself) 😉 , will recommend the phone with the best qualities over the best price. Resulting in higher customer satisfaction, resulting in more referrals, resulting in less chargebacks and churn due to dissatisfaction, and increasing retained commision.
Really simple when you think about it.
We are not paid on the phone we sell, its all about the plans and features.
I will upsell a higher end phone in hopes of getting a customer to utilize services (features) if they seem inclined/intersted though

Maybe LG makes subpar GSM phones but they make great CDMA phones. I owned the LG V and that was the best phone that I have owned.
...
Theres only a few phones i recommend to people.. The LG 9800, LG 8300, LG chocolate (i know some people complain about it but i love mine and haven't had ONE problem with it), also the Moto V325 for people who travel alot or live in the middle of nowhere, and honestly i do show people the LG 3400 if they don't want a camera.. the funny thing is that i haven't seen ONE 3400 in for service.. maybe LG actually got the 3xxx line in good order now.
I steer people away from garbage like the LG 3300, PN215, CDM8945 and sammy A870.
