 Best Deal Around Dec 22, 2008
By Avid Reviewer
"A Music Fan"
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. are being incorporated into mobile phones, the LG 300 is a severely stripped-down phone that doesn't have ANY of the aforementioned features. It's just a bare-bones, no-frills phone that's reminiscent of the mobile phones in the 90's. Not surprisingly, then, the LG 300 is nothing to write home about.
But I will say this -- the LG 300 is sleek and one of the most compact and lightweight mobile phones I've seen. The battery life on standby time is about 4 days. I can't speak to its battery life on talk time because I've never had a long enough phone conversation to determine it. It uses a lithium ion battery so there won't be a problem with "memory effect."
If you need a basic cell phone for making an occasional call or for emergencies, this compact phone is a good deal and Net10 is a good service to go with:
Free Phone
----------
For starters, for 30 bucks you get this phone PLUS 300 minutes. Since Net10 sells add-on 300 minutes in airtime for 30 bucks, you're in effect getting this phone for free.
Cheap Rates
-----------
At 10 cents per minute for local or long distance calls, the Net10 phone service is simply the best deal. Text messages cost only 5 cents to send or receive.
No Hidden Charges
-----------------
No wireless contracts or penalties for early cancellation. No roaming charges. 10 cents per minutes, plain and simple.
Rollover minutes
----------------
If you buy more minutes before your old minutes expire, your old minutes will roll over and expire the same time as your new minutes. Minutes will keep rolling over for as long as add more minutes before your current minutes expire.
The airtime available for purchase come in 150, 300, and 180 minutes:
cost in dollars/airtime in minutes/expiration in days
15/150/30
30/300/60
180/1800/60
3 Convenient Ways To Add Minutes
--------------------------------
You can add minutes by:
1) buying Net10 phone cards
2) buying airtime through the Net10 Website
3) buying airtime directly from the LG 300 phone.
To buy airtime directly from the phone, you are required to set up a PIN at the Net10 Website. You will be asked for this PIN whenever you add airtime through your phone.
Decent Coverage
---------------
Net10 reportedly uses both AT&T (formerly Cingular) and T-Mobile networks. Most of the time, I have no problems with coverage in my area, although I do get dropped calls every now and then.
Customer Service
----------------
Net10 could definitely use some work on their customer service. I had to call customer service on at least a couple of occasions for (1) minutes failing to appear on my phone after I've purchased airtime and (2) problem transferring my phone number from an old phone to a new phone. It took about half an hour for them to credit me for my minutes and almost an hour to get my number transferred to my new phone. Part of the problem is _communication_ with the operators. It was a little frustrating getting them to *listen* and *understand* the issues I was trying to explain to them. But I will say that at the very least their operators are courteous.
If you can get past their customer service - well - Net10 offers very competitive rates. Hopefully you won't have to deal with their tech support, ever. Many of the support you need is automated on the Web. Things like transferring your old number to a new phone can now be done yourself through their Website.
Conclusion
----------
The Net 10 service offers the best prepaid rates bar none. If you need a cell phone for making an occasional call or for emergencies, the Net 10 phones will fit the bill perfectly.

Decent phone for light users Feb 26, 2009
By DSB
First of all, I love Net10, I have no complaints about their service or price. I am not a heavy phone user. I had a monthly plan for a few years and never came close to using all of my minutes so why pay for them. Net10 is the perfect solution. I get by with $30 every other month.
About the phone itself, it is OK. I love the size, it is thin and easy to carry in hand or pocket. Keypad is easy to use. Features are basic and easy to use. It is a phone to make calls, not a gps, computer, or camera. My only complaint is the sound. People on the other end do not seem to have trouble hearing me, but from my end they sound a little quiet and as if they are in a tunnel. Feel like I am always saying "what?" It does not seem to be the reception of the call, but the lack of clarity in the earpiece.
But, since I only talk on the phone 30min/wk at the most, I'm willing to put up with it for now. Also, I bought this phone on sale for $19.99 with 300 minutes, so basically I made $10 in the deal. I am happy to tolerate the could-be-better sound quality until something better comes along.

Frustrating Tech Support
------------------------
My only major complaint about Net 10 is their tech support (-1 star). I've had to call them on a few occasions. Their tech support, which is outsourced, is slow and getting through can sometimes feel like pulling teeth. For example, on one occasion, it took me 50 minutes on the phone with them to transfer my number from this LG300G phone to a new one.
The worse was yet to come. On another occasion, I was told matter-of-factly that it would take up to 72 hours to get my number transferred. "72 hours?!" I cried. The response I received was a nonchalant "72 hours. It takes up to 72 hours to transfer you number. Don't call before 72 hours." I was incensed. After 48 hours, I called them again, and this time another operator (who sounded slightly more intelligent) managed to get my number transferred within a couple of minutes. The moral of the story: Net 10 is a descent service to go with provided you don't have to make too many tech support calls (I haven't had to call them for anything other than transferring my phone number to a new phone). You have been forewarned.
Conclusion
----------
The Net 10 service offers the cheapest prepaid cell phone service. Despite the less-than-stellar customer service and tech support, I'd recommend the Net 10 LG300G Prepaid Phone for making an occasional call or for emergencies.

 tracfone wireless Oct 21, 2009
By Rich
"in OV VA"
Pro - easy to get started, has a web site to "manage phone(s)". Phone service and phones are low end for higher per minute cost than most national brands, but in line with their fellow service providers. Phone does work, service outage experience is similar to that of national brands.
Con - very, very time consuming to deal with if ANYTHING goes wrong, which it naturally does.. often.
Phone support is
1. very mechanical "at best"
2. very often quite ineffictive at things taking more than 1 step to fix (will you hold for another x minutes while I call (someone else) to do xyz?... repeat this loop endlessly.. when done phone still does not work...
3. Refund is NOT POSSIBLE, even if tracfone admits it cannot deliver what you bought from them.
4. Marketing is "IN YOUR FACE" type of shrill.
