Rated 4 out of 5 stars
good and affordable
One of the lowest prepaid phone by one of top cell phone manufacturers. Right size, good quality, fast enough speed to watch HD movie, and eacy to use. Slightly thicker than other LG phone, but very light weighted.

Deceptively great.
Granted I bought the LG K3 in a moment of panic ( I had dropped my old phone and shattered the screen) I am Really pleased with this phone. More memory, Easy swap of saved information, and a little larger than my last phone. I am however displeased with it with the lack of ring tones and for some reason the pictures I take with it are a bit blurry. I know both are easily fixed with an app BUT I like to use my phone as just that, a phone that can take picture.

Great budget phone
Needed a phone that could do basic things like browse internet and check emails.This phone does what I need and is great for the price. If you are looking for Iphone quality, go elsewhere. Bur if you need a basic smartphone and want to save some money, this phone should do the job.
