Customers consistently note the ease of use, good call quality, and affordable price of the LG 442 prepaid cell phone. Many appreciate its compact size and large buttons, making it user-friendly. While some users find the battery life could be improved, the phone's texting capabilities and camera are also frequently mentioned as positive features.
I was having an issue with my Tmobile pay as you go flip phone service - calls basically were not working right so I decided to give this Tracfone LG442BG phone and service a try. I could not be happier. The phone itself is great - it is better than the very similar LG 450 that I was using before. The battery life is superb, the phone has a nice slick feel to it and the call quality is pretty good. My only complaint is that there is a right soft button set to browser that you cannot change and if you click it it will initiate the mobile web and start to charge you. I tried it and it took like half a minute from me. I just don't click the button (unless I guess I need to one day). I would prefer that I could make that button some other function but oh well. Tracfone itself is also excellent. It is way better than tmobile pay as you go in my opinion. The Tracfone website is one of the best I have seen of any similar site and it is easy to activate your phone, switch phone numbers, add airtime all from the site or from your phone etc. I use the $19.99 plan which comes to almost $7 a month and gives you double minutes. It lasts for 3 months and the minutes roll over - just refill before 3 months is up. Plus you can call almost any country internationally and you are charged the same rate as domestic call. There is a cool feature that lets you associate international long distance numbers with a 1 888 number that you can then set to speed dial - no more dialing any long string of numbers - brilliant. I had an issue with this and customer service helped me and it works great. They also have a wide selection of phones. The service seems to work well - no garbled or drop calls so far. To sum up - this is a great LG flip phone with great Tracfone service. I just wish I had done this much earlier.

I am very pleased with my purchase of the LG 422GB flip phone. While the phone offers ease and simplicity of use I am happily surprised at all the goodies packed into this unit. Basic phone calling yes, but in addition I was able to easily set up an email account, use the comfortable and efficient keyboard to quickly enter my contacts, discovered that the phone offers voice command for making phone calls, listening to voicemails and that the calendar permitted entries which could be cycled daily, weekly, monthly and yearly just like smartphones do. Right out of the box the LG worked smoothly with no problems. For those who just want basic phone and texting it's there but this very portable phone does much more.

Gift for my husband who had one with all the bells and whistles and hated it! This one has larger buttons and simpler to operate but still a Blue Ray with camera. So far so good!
