Got this on sale. I purchased this for my aunt whose previous verizon phone had broken. Simple basic android phone , has rear camera and a newer version of Android. Comes with bluetooth and GPS, great value for the price. It has about a gig for storage of photos and apps.
The only problems is that the camera is not the best but takes OK pictures.

Touchscreen is perfectly responsive. Love the quick memo/Google search shortcut by swiping up from the bottom of the screen. Great size for throwing in your pocket, even tiny women's pockets.
Sound is good for calls, music, everything.
The camera is the one little downfall. Not great quality, but again, for the price...
Shipping was fast and it was well packaged.
All in all extremely pleased with the purchase, BestBuy, and Verizon's service.

Purchased the L G Optimus Zone 2 LG-VS415PP Verizon, No Contract, Prepaid cell phone on sale from Best Buy for $19.99. Even at that incredibly low price it is a much better phone than my Awful-Apple iPhoney. I bought the LG Optimus 2 for the purpose of using it for WiFi connection for internet and downloading apps and music which it does very well. I am very impressed with the phone at this time, (only 1 month of use). It was easy to set up, easy to use, although feels very small size in my hand, however, good enough clarity of screen to see icons and information. The touch screen is responsive. The speed of downloading the apps was a way better than any of my Awful-Apple IPhones (4, 4s, and 5). The sound from the phone is tinny, as expected with a tiny speaker, therefore I use ear-buds or Bluetooth speakers. The phone was relatively easy to get around the need for a Verizon data plan by pressing in sequence the: volume up, volume down, back, then home, to by pass the Verizon set up. I do not use it for phone calls nor use the camera, although both work like any other phone when I have used them. Neither impressively good nor bad. The battery seems to hold up as well as any other phone that I have owned, which means that I plug it in to recharge after every day of use.
Though it may lack a few insignificant bells and whistles, (sorry no Siri) that higher end phones are offering, it has all the necessary features that make it a useful fully functioning smart phone. I would buy this phone again at this price. I would definitely buy this $29.99 phone over the Awful-Apple iPhone.

I've not activated this phone. I've bypassed that screen and am using this phone as a security camera. I can set these cheap phones around and can view what's going on from my daily use phone. Battery lasts a really long time for that use. There are two of these cheap lg phones. I like the other one slightly more as it has a few more features. This cheap phone makes me want to buy a nicer lg phone when the time comes.

Decent phone for the price paid. Not the greatest specs or performance, but I knew that ahead of time buying the phone. Still, decent deal for a phone running Android 4.1. My main use (other than calls) is for streaming music. Hooked to a Bluetooth speaker, this is quite useful.

Good phone for someone looking for inexpensive but will still get the job done. It is far from the fastest but acceptable. Small compact and I have had good battery life. I use it as a backup phone for all my kids.

I bought this phone when it was offered on the Deal of the Day for $25.00. It is definitely worth $25.00. Its regular price is $50.00 It is worth $50.00 because it has a dual core CPU and Android 4.4 KitKat. The screen is small and it only has 512 mb RAM, but if you are only looking for something that will check email and download apps, surf the web without a large screen. This is a good phone, but its not a powerhouse. You can check Facebook and watch YouTube as well. Its one of the better CHEAP Android phones that you could buy.

When I purchased this phone for my son, I thought I was getting an already loaded phone. For the price (black Friday sale) I thought this was a pretty good deal!
I was very disappointed that I had to spend more money to get the advertised "Unlimited Talk, Text and Data."
We just two days ago activated the phone and so far so good. My daughter-in-law worked with a lot of these when she worked for another retailer and said they were a pretty good phone.

I bought this phone for my nine year old daughter, who wants a smart phone so bad. It functions almost as well as my Samsung S4. She was able to put games on and everything.

I bought this phone on sale, about the price of a week's worth of cafe mochas. So far, I've only used it as a WiFi device: streaming music, controlling a Chromecast, emailing pictures, and Internet texting and surfing, which is why I bought it.
It's a little on the small side. The entire phone is the size of my Samsung Galaxy SIII screen! That's OK, it's the perfect, inexpensive handheld computer, remote control, Internet device. I suppose you could use it to call people, too.
