still works great
I was impressed by all the bells and whistles that are on the V20, but I am coming from an LG FLIP PHONE. I bought this smartphone because of the fantastic HD camera that is installed and that it has a replaceable battery. The bad: There are NO audible notifications nor reminders of a calender appointment like on most flip phones, including the phones manufactured by LG and Motorola, so if a text message arrives, or an important appointment ...
Long Review was erased by PhoneScoop!
I'll be damned if I am going to do that review again! PROs: Good Audio - clear & loud Decent signal capture Good battery life (~4 days w. moderate use) Battery Recharges fast in ~2 hours Menu Text font size is resizable Camera is 1280 x 960 (1.22 Mb) Ring tones are good (MP3?) CON: LG should have rubberized the exterior - the phone is VERY SLIPPERY. This is a serious fault! No Video capability
Well-designed phone: BASIC
The LG a340 was purchased so I could use worldwide GSM networks; Verizon (VZN) has no CDMA network outside of North America, as far as I can determine. In particular, I needed a cell in Panama (PA) for my use. I had a generic "VeryKool" brand GSM candy bar type phone in PA, and the unprotected earphone opening must have become plugged (by pocket lint or ??), because I could not hear the people that I had called on the ...
Still a good workhorse
The Motorola E815 is a good phone if you are looking for reception in areas where other CDMA phones can’t hack it. I bought the E815 in early December 2012, since Tracfone had cut me off for the second time with no warning nor explanation. I had been planning this move for a year – to Page Plus Cellular – which uses Verizon’s towers and infrastructure to furnish prepaid cell service - in Northern Calif. - near Chico, in ...
VERY, VERY BASIC phone
This was my first Tracfone (TF) (UGH!) back in Jan. 2008 and it was replaced by a V-170 because it made calls from my Levis pocket and had poor earphone volume. The pocket phone call issue is because the keypad is unprotected in my pocket while the phone is "on". The AT&T network here is pretty crappy - I do live 10+ miles from the nearest GSM tower - so poor reception is to be expected. I have had ...
Very SIMPLE, BASIC PHONE
I cannot say that I am in love with Tracfone's version of this V-170 (refurbished) phone, but it works when I turn it on, and is okay for very basic texting and talking. DO NOT get this phone if you are a person trying to impress others with your phone... it won't! It has a clamshell design and SHORT battery life (2-3 days on standby). No where near the battery life that Moto. claims for it! I mentioned the ...
Poor reception!
I had this phone, the TRACFONE neutered version, and the ability to pull in the AT&T signal from 10+ miles away was poorer than the C-139 and V-170 phones I still have. I hated the C-139, 'cause it would make calls while in the pocket of my Levis! It has an unprotected keypad, of course. The V-170 and W-260g are both clamshell (flip) phones by Motorola. The sound quality on receive - I am in a fringe area - was ...
