Terrible phone. LG is garbage.
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This phone feels so cheap and so garbage. The LG software version of Android is terrible, I would rather buy the Nokia brand because at least Nokia offers pure android experience. This phone does not have LTE+ and does not have wireless AC. Overall terrible phone even at 100 dollar price budget point.

No, I would not recommend this to a friendThe phone does not work period.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Whenever attempt to make call can only reach India and am told that's the only country in which it works. Get voice mails from there and hear their conversations . Best Buy should be giving a refund but instead are making excuses.

Doesn’t work in Colombia
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I gave this unlocked phone to a friend in Cali, Colombia after the Bestbuy salesman assured me it would work there. It doesn’t—neither Movistar nor Claro can open the bands. A total waste of money.

Cell phone
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's an okay phone, the screen too sensitive and it will break easily. Went to the store twice to get a replacement which is a process. Easy to use and well as a backup phone.

Great Phone - att visual voice requires workaround
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use unlocked phones I pay for - on ATT - and this phone is GREAT. 140$ and it does everything I need perfectly. ATT visual voicemail is "not compatible" with this phone. Work around: Google "ATT visual voicemail APK" and you can manually load their application file to the phone - and it worked! Att reported "something is amiss" when I logged in, but it took hold and works fine anyway. Your welcome.
