This phone is one of the few I could find that fits comfortably in the front pocket of my jeans. Most others were too long or too thick. Has the longest lasting and quickest charging battery of any phone I've owned. Keyboard is difficult to use, hit wrong keys a lot, but that's probably because the screen is small because the phone is small. In other words. It's a tradeoff.

This is a very good phone. It's fast, cheap, and does the job well. I bought this phone hoping to use it on post paid as the customer service people said I could but ran into a mess. It has to be active on prepaid for six months before you will be able to activate it. They had to get lots of overrides and approvals to try to even activate on postpaid and it still couldn't be done so they had to mail me out a new postpaid phone.
But the phone is great. The charger is a little cheap and it comes with some garbage apps you can't uninstall, but other than that calls sounded good, data came in at good speeds 20+MBPS and the phone worked.

I was looking for a cheap, easy to use phone for my son and this one guys the criteria. It's reliable, very easy to use and for me to monitor, and it's not expensive. Cost is a concern with my son, since he's a preteen and keeping up with things isn't always his best quality. This phone has held up well!

Great first phone for child

I bought this as a first cell phone for my child. I got it on sale for around $10. I didn't expect much at that price, but for a first phone if it was broken or lost it wouldn't be a big deal compared to an iPhone or Google Pixel.
I was very surprised when I was setting it up how well the phone works. While the storage is small he was still able to get all the apps he wanted such as Pokemon Go and the apps all run very well. The phone responds well and doesn't lag or slow down as I would expect a $10 phone to.
I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for an inexpensive phone for you or someone you know, or a phone for someone new to smartphones.

Haven't used a LG phone for years, but this one works well. The screen is a bit rough to view compared to other phones, but it's doable for a prepaid phone. If you're looking for a cheap prepaid phone that functions at 75% effectiveness compared to a Samsung Galaxy flagship phone, then this is the way to go, for it's worth every penny.

This is a good phone for the price. Only one major problem-two weeks after having the phone I dropped it and the screen shattered. I was able to put tape on it to prevent cuts and glass shards falling out. Still works!!! I just caution you to invest in a screen protector and case if you can find one.

While this is not a flagship phone, it is a great phone for $10 when it went on sale. The early version could easily be rooted (PP1), but he latest version PP5 can not be rooted right now.
