These phones usually cost over $30.00 so this is a fantastic deal. Intercontinental United States only please.
Physical FeaturesLightweightThe Net10 LG 320g weighs
just 2.3 ounces. There's no "flip" to add weight, plus it has a
relatively small screen, so there's less glass as well.Good Battery LifeThe phone has a decent talk time rating of five hours and a standby rating of 19 days.
Keyboard
The LG 320g keyboard is made up of distinct separate buttons, I think.
There three rows are definitely separate. As for each of the three
button in each row,it's hard to tell, but I think they're separate as
well. In any case, the keyboard is nicely arranged and helps prevent
accidental key presses.
There is no OK button at the center of the
navigation arrows, so if you're used to that, it can take a while to get
used to using the top right hand button above the red PWR END key as
the OK button.
No Web Access: Is that good or Bad
There is no web access on this phone. This can be a disadvantage if you
were looking for a phone with web access. On the other hand, if the only
time you use web access on a phone is when you accidentally press the
“browser” button, then it’s great that this phone doesn’t have one!On the other hand, here’s what you can do.
Calls and Messages
Make Calls
Of course, you can make calls. Under the pay as you go airtime cards,
calls cost ten cents per minute. Under the 30 day plans, you get 750
minutes with a $25 card which is just 3.3 cents per minute or you can
get unlimited minutes for 30 day with the $50 card.
Send Text Messages
You can send and receive text messages. Text messages cost half a minute
each: 5 cents under the pay as you go plan and 1.7 cents (or unlimited)
under the 30 day plans.No Picture MessagesYou cannot send picture messages.T9 Predictive TextingThe
Net10 LG 320g uses T9 predictive text messaging that makes texting
faster if you're used to it. To turn off the predictive texting feature,
when you start to compose a message, go to Options -> T9 Languages
and select "T9 Off".
Features
Voice Mail and Call Waiting
You can set up your voicemail so you can either return (or avoid)
certain calls. The only cost is the airtime you use while checking your
voicemail which usually takes one or two minutes, unless someone’s left
you a really long message.
Phonebook
You can have up to 500 entries in your phonebook of your Net10 LG 320g.
These can be divided into caller groups. There is a speed dial list for
your most frequently called numbers, and you can even set up a business
card. This is useful to have in a basic phone like this. Combined with
voicemail, this actually makes it possible to use as a cheap business
contact phone or when looking for a job. You send your business card
via a text message either by itself or as part of another message. If
you fill out your name and mobile phone number you will typically use up
about 50 characters or less when all the info is transferred to a text
message. This give you another 100 characters or so until you get to the
160 character limit.
Tools
The following tools on your Net10 LG 320g can further help your
productivity: alarm clock, calendar, notepad, calculator, tip
calculator, world clock, stop watch, and unit converter.
Alarm Clock, Calculators and Calendars
The alarm clock (which has its own separate position in the main menu)
gets you up on time. The calendar reminds you of appointments or
birthdays. The two calculators help you rein in your expenses so you can
be generous with your tips (they deserve them, usually)!
Stopwatch but no Timer
The stopwatch, though not as useful as the missing timer can help you
keep your day going as efficiently as possible or maybe just see how
long it takes you to get across town or just your subdivision.
Games
Is it time to be a little less productive? Great, then you can play some
Sudoku or Battle Reversi. Both are pretty good time wasters. One
drawback is that you cannot download additional games onto this phone as
it doesn’t have a web browser.
Ringtones
There’s a pretty good selection of MIDI ringtone in “My Folder”. These
sound almost though not quite like one of those music boxes with the
twirling ballerina. It’s cute, in a way.
Wallpapers
You can choose among four additional wallpaper in addition to the
default Net10 one. These are the Landscape, Sunset, Skyscraper, and
Phantom.
