I chose Net 10 because I'm a light user and the value seemed to be good for that. As I'm coming from another provider, I asked that my old number be ported over. That's what I'm waiting for, even though my previous provider disconnected within hours of my request via Net 10. Net 10's reps (via email) keep saying "it should take 24 to 48 hours" (which I'm beyond) while almost everyone I've spoken to, including people who sell these phones, says it should take hours at most. Earlier today I spoke by phone to a rep who apologized and promised it would be done within "2 to 4 hours." When that didn't happen I called back and a different rep rudely kept insisting that it takes "7 to 10 days" but then ended up telling me to it should be done "tomorrow"! <br /> <br />It better be, or this phone is going back and I'm going with someone else.

Just a warning, don't fall behind or let the time expire, because if you buy a phone card and use it with 0 days left, someone else will recieve your minutes and you'll be out $$$. Mine lapsed about a month and 1/2, so I'm thinking they re-issued the serial number on another phone. They told me when I called customer service I'd have my minutes in 24 hours, and now it's been two days, and still no minutes, and this didn't happen with my virgin phone. SO, if you want a little forgivness, virgin is a best bet, but if you lapse on this phone, you might as well use it to store phone numbers. Rating: 1 / 5 Ok, I’m upset, I have this exact phone.

Nice looking design with a bright, full color screen and buttons that light up blue. Comes with 20 MIDI ringtones, 2 games, and nice choice of wallpapers. Text messages cost 5 cents each. Easy to add minutes right from the phone or online. <br /> <br />Cons: has a sort of "plastic toy" feel to it. Very light, very small. Takes some practice to avoid pressing multiple buttons at once. Callers sound slightly muffled. Cannot download new ringtones or wallpaper. Not recommended for heavy phone users or newbies. <br /> <br />This is a cheap, no frills phone. It is not a multimedia device. It doesn't take pictures, surf the internet, send emails, or play MP3s. It makes and receives calls and texts and stores phone numbers. To be honest it's a cute little cheap piece of plastic for people who want a cell phone for emergencies or to make occasional calls. Heavy callers, texters, or people that tend to be hard on their stuff should think twice before buying this phone. <br /> <br />On the other hand if you are someone that tends to keep your phone nice and shiny, you are a reasonably competent technology user, and you only want to make the occasional call this is an attractive, reliable little phone for a good price. <br /> Rating: 4 / 5 Pros: good reception, phone comes loaded with 300 minutes.

They sent a new Sim card, phone still didn't work. This was a "reconditioned" phone--BEWARE!!. Now I have to return the phone at my expense to get my money back (less postage). Bad, Bad, Bad deal. And the customer service was the worst I've ever had--being put on hold repeatedly, speaking with employees whose English was beyond poor, and finally being told I would have to pay to return a product that never worked. My advice is to avoid this company and the reconditioned LG300g phone. I have been without a cell phone for 2-3 weeks, not a happy thing when you're traveling. <br /> <br />Going to Virgin Mobile.

Sounds like you’re talking in a wind tunnel.

Lots of dropped calls.

Get used to hearing “Huh?”…”Can you repeat that?”…”Say what?”

This service and this phone are NOT a deal by any stretch of the imagination.

Bottom of the barrel as far as cell phone plans go.

But then again, what do you expect for $15.00/month?

You get what you pay for.

Which in this case…ain’t much.
