I upgraded to this LG Lucky LG L16C phone from a flip phone, it has been an excellent decision. Screen quality is good (best in portrait though, in landscape I can detect a difference in the apparent brightness from left to right, in the photos I included you can see how the viewing angle changes the screen brightness). The touchscreen responds well. I ordered a anti glare screen protector on ebay to protect from scratches and reduce fingerprints. I was able to transfer my phone number and service on tracfone. You do need to set up voicemail again (at least I did) but calls come through fine and messages work fine too. The balance is transferred from non smartphones into three separate units, for example I had 35 minutes on my old phone after transferring to my new lg lucky I have 35 minutes for talk (phone calls), 35 texts (each text is a unit) and 35 Mb data (for internet) and the end date stays the same. You can turn off the data and use wifi for free where wifi is available, many stores restaurants… have free wifi. You can even use the wifi before setting up phone service, so this is a really cheap way to get access to wifi on a functional android device without any cell service. I suggest going online and checking out the tracfone tutorials, you will see an interactive guide to basic phone settings and use. One thing to note is when using some apps like google chrome the menu is hidden (there may not be the three dots or bars for a menu), you have to press and hold the recent apps key to the right of the home key. I have been using the phone for about a week and it works well, just like having a mini tablet and a phone all in one.
My old phone died out on a trip in Florida and needed new phone. I stopped at other store to buy new item and trouble started. I then went to Walmart for the same phone at $50 less, WHY NOT? The new phone is great and I am starting to figure some of the newer items on this phone compared to my older phone. If you buy the phone at other store return it for refund then go to Walmart to make the change over. Otherwise they will de-activate, then try to re-activate, and that was the trouble. This phone is a bargain at $59.99, even better at $10 or less, THANK YOU WALMART !!!
Outstanding device for the money. No cell service or activation required. Not suitable for gaming, but for sending/receiving google voice calls and SMS, for internet surfing, Youtube, reading news articles (Google Newsstand), etc... the phone works fantastic. I find that it is quite fast, too, which is surprising for its cost. Screen is clear and bright. Very little bloatware, primarily McAfee security. Full access to Play store. strong wi-fi signal. Seriously, this was much better than expected. I'd buy several more if I could get the same low price again. Obviously not a device for gamers or someone used to using an expensive phone.
I'm quite happy upgrading from my old TracFone to this one. There was a bit of a problem, but I called the TracFone support people and they made the corrections. The phone works well, gets better reception than my old one. Just a quick warning -- be sure to log into WiFi for most of your data -- just like all smart-phones, it will eat data (your minutes).
Went to Walmart prior to ordering a phone--my current phone could not be used from my house; one would need to travel 2 miles in order to use the phone. The sales person explained to me that I live in a verizen area & the phone was ATT compatible d/t the code on the bottom right code (CDMA-V) on the front of the box. She took all the time I needed to make me "phone educated". She stated oddly enough this Walmart sells all ATT accessible phones even though the area is not very ATT friendly. Problem solved! Ordered this phone from Walmart on line & it works beautifully from my home. I had it delivered to the store where I got all the info from the sales person--they connected my phone to tracfone, transferred my minutes to this new phone & I was ready to go! Go Walmart! I love my phone it has more features than I need--Wi-Fi capable, video, camera & works from my house!
Very good phone. Not too big to need a belt carrying case, as screen is only 3.5 inches, and the phone is thin to not be too bulky for carrying in pants pockets. The manual says it'll accept up to a 32 GB micro SD card, but it accepted my 128 GB micro SD card, and recognizing the card as having 128GB of storage, of which I used to install an App that I already paid for elsewhere, so I didn't have to pay for the App again had I purchased it again thru this phone's App download site. Camera has decent resolution. Originally bought this phone to transfer Safelink Tracfone service to, but Safelink reps misinformed me, and then when I tried to transfer the Safelink service, I was told Safelink doesn't support Smartphones. Decided to keep phone to use as Prepaid, but mostly to use a Wireless Interface Code Scanner, of which it works in conjunction with the phone's Bluetooth, for displaying state-of-the-art software auto engine analyzing monitors, as well as retrieving engine fault codes. LG and Walmart partered up together to both reduce the price to a riduculous $10, of which nothing can beat.
Enjoy a full-function Android pocket computer and phone at an exceptionally affordable price. Small format allows it to fit easily into the carrier for my old flip phone. Not a lot of memory, but plenty for the half dozen apps I use regularly. Good phone coverage in my are is a big plus. Very pleased, have already recommended to friends!
I bought this particular model, Tracfone Lucky, because when I put in our zip code in the "will this work in your area" space, it stated Yes, it will work. I tried surrounding zips also because we do live in an area with very few cell towers. After it arrived and I charged it, no service. I waked it around my home, outside, took a ride to try and find service - nothing. I called Tracfone and they stated No,you have no service in your area. I explained that I verified it three times otherwise I never would have bought the phone. They stated they would send me a new phone that would work here. We'll see. Very nice phone though.
I returned the TracFone LG Lucky For an exchange of the same phone. The phone I received could not be program. I am still waiting for my New- Replacement phone.
I got this phone at Wal-Mart when it was marked down to around $20 about 6 months ago. For $20? Okay. At its currently listed price? No freakin' way. At the time? My old phone died completely while moving 120-odd miles away. I needed a phone, I needed it /right then/, and I needed it cheap as heck because of the blow to my wallet in moving. This served that purpose. I'm not a phone snob. My previous phone had been a Windows phone, the one before that one of the iPhone 3 series that was so out of date that I couldn't update or install any apps anymore. Even next to an old Lumia, the Lucky felt like a kid's toy, but I gave it the benefit of the doubt. It wasn't a gem in disguise. The camera was enough to give the basic idea of what I was looking at, and that was about it. The colors were terrible, I found myself sending a note too often with "this isn't really yellow/pink/that pale/ect". To give you an idea, this phone was unable to even scan QR codes because the camera was too fuzzy for it to register. That would be forgivable to me if the rest of the phone was in decent working order. Very little of the onboard memory was open for use, if I remember correctly maybe 2gb. The microSD card on board helped a bit. I had to go into each app individually from the settings menu and tell it to transfer what it could of that app to the microSD, and plenty of stuff couldn't be, but I could at least install more than a couple apps that way, have some music on it, store some pictures. I downloaded the apps I consider basic; Twitter, Instagram, Vine-- though I was never masochistic enough to try recording my own video, or playing a game. Some to keep track of bank balance and track my bills, instant messaging. I had to go in and clear the cache every time something needed to update. Even with all that, I still might've been happy with using this phone. The death blow to this phone for me, what really made me /hate/ its existence, was its freezing. Constant. Freezing. Ridiculous. Lag. Being unable to update the OS past Android 4.4. Trying to open a page in the browser, while on wifi, and just sitting the phone down to load by itself while I did something else because it consistently took forever. I can't even mourn the stuff I hadn't backed up on this phone before it got dropped in the water, because stuff on this phone would occasionally vanish for no reason. It was the only device I've owned, as a consistent computer user since the late 80s and who's often been stuck with devices that were so out of date that they might as well be running on wax cylinder, that frustrated me THIS BADLY. About three months into owning it I'd already told my friends that when I got another phone I was going to take it to the back porch and smash it to bits with a sledgehammer, and I was going to record it. Now I'm waiting to see if it'll start up when it dries, or if I'm finally free. The only plus I have give this phone is that it's a lot tougher than it appears. I never had a case on it, I didn't have a screen guard, and I dropped it uncountable times on cement and tile and asphalt. The back would pop off and the battery would fly out, but after I put it back together? It was just fine. The screen never cracked, eventually it acquired a slight scratch on an upper corner edge that didn't interfere much, the back panel had a minor dent or two, but that was it. I haven't had a phone this tough since I owned the old bricklike Nokia 3000 series. I wouldn't be too surprised if this phone fired back up tomorrow. I might have to drop it into the fires of Mordor to escape it. It might rise Terminator-like with its plastic burned away even after that. tl;dr If you need a phone that can take photos that look better than a gritty watercolor, record video, open things in less than 2 minutes with good internet, not crash mid-conversation, or keep up with your stuff, this is not your phone. If you need a phone you can hurl at people who anger you on a daily basis and still turn on afterwards, this is TOTALLY your phone.
