Total by Verizon - LG Optimus Exceed 2 No-Contract Cell Phone (Verizon)

i had a Samsung illusion for a few months but battery kept dying and not enough memory. this lg optimus exceed 2 is easy to operate and everything is great about it. the only proplem I had was with the cashier because I kept telling him that I wanted the same number and I was supposed to get a $50 gift card which he was supposed to give me at checkout and he didn't and when I called customer service they told me to return the phone and buy it again and reactivate it but that seemed stupid to have to drive back and buy the phone again. so even though I feel I was owed the card I didn't want to drive back there again and go thru the process of getting another phone activated. and I still got a nice phone

Bought two of these since the price was burner-level. Make light use of mostly talk, but have found it reliable. Bought the case, too, as an afterthought once we'd had the phone a few days.

it has all of the features that was needed for the person whom it was bought for and they love it for the size and technology that it has, they're not too tech savvy but it helps.

Best phone for my requirement as for short term trip

Great phone for the price when bought on sale. Decent size screen.

Excellent phone for anyone, easy to use and takes great pictures.

I purchased 2 of these cell phones because I caught them at low price $14.99 ea, plus I purchased an extended warranty for each phone but for some crazy Best Buy reason it doesn't appear on my receipt when I went to the store to pick up the phones. I asked the Best Buy clerk how do I prove I purchased the warranty ? The Best Buy clerk told me not to worry because its in their system. I guess its in their mystery system ? The Best Buy Ad says these work on the Verizon no annual contract prepaid cards and they cost $35 or $45, for 30 day use. They also advertise a $45 card for 90 days of use. I expected to buy a $35 card initially to try out the phones. But I was wrong ! When I went to the store to activate my phones the Best Buy rep advised me these phones require an initial purchase of a $45 card for each phone. My 30 days has expired, the phone has no rollover of minutes. When I checked my remaining minutes I immediately received a robo message on the phone asking me to set up an auto pay option. I'm not comfortable with that option plus the fact I had to buy a prepaid $45 instead of a $35 card to try out this phone. 3G is not the greatest Verizon for a cheap throw away phone there should be a $20 prepaid card for people who are not heavy phone users. I don't think I will continue to use this phone any further for several reasons, 1) My warranty plan price is not displayed on my store receipt, 2) the cost of the card had to be $45 instead of $35, 3) the screen size is much smaller in person than expected, 4) it has one 5 MP camera which took a blurry picture, 5) there is no case or bumper available for this phone, except for a big old fashioned pleather type pouch with a snap closure that Best Buy sells for $39.99, 6) Best Buys Ad was misleading for the cost of the prepaid phone cards $45, $35 for 30 days of use, and another card costing $45 for 90 days, (there is no $45.00, 90 day card available for this phone).

I finally caved and bought my first ever smartphone. Contracts are way too expensive for my budget so I chose this phone mainly because it was prepaid yet still on the Verizon network I love. For a beginner like me, this phone is perfect! It does everything I could possibly need it to without costing me an arm and a leg. It's only 3G, but since I don't stream videos or anything like that it's not an issue. I got the $45 plan with 1GB data and I don't even use 1/10 of it every month because I stick to WiFi. I do wish it had a front facing camera, I didn't think it was worth an extra $150 to get the version with one. The only problem I've had with the phone is when I use the Skype app, for some reason it makes the phone go crazy and crash every time I video chat, even with the camera off. I don't normally use Skype so it doesn't bother me too much but I wish it worked for those rare occasions when I do. Overall it's a great phone, it's like having a mini tablet that can connect to the internet anywhere you are and it's great for keeping my son entertained when we're on the go. And you can't beat the price! Got mine when there was a promo to get $25 BestBuy rewards when you bought any smart phone so it only ended up costing me $25. Plus there was a promo that paid for my second month of service when I activated so that saved me another $45.
