Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The perfect complement to Tracfone prepaid wireless service, the slim LG 400G clamshell phone offers an affordable way to stay in touch with family and friends across town and around the globe via voice communication and text messaging. With Net10 you get a single rate for every call--10 cents a minute--whether it's local, long distance or roaming. This phone features a color LCD screen, handsfree speakerphone, several organizer tools including scheduler and world clock, a phonebook with up to 500 entries, and up to 7 hours of talk time.

Net10 Service
The Net10 pay-as-you-go wireless service offers all local, long distance and roaming calls at one low price of 10 cents per minute. All Net10 prepaid wireless service is provided by TracFone Wireless--America's #1 prepaid wireless company with a national footprint covering 99 percent of the U.S. population. There are no contracts, credit checks, monthly fees, security deposits, activation or deactivation charges, or age restrictions.

All Net10 handsets have a display that shows the actual airtime balance on the phone's display for ease of tracking usage. Net10 handsets also carry an "instant refill" feature that allows users to add airtime directly from the handset on a real-time basis. Key digital features include free call waiting, free caller ID, free voicemail and text messaging at 5 cents per message.

You can buy bundles of minutes (which must be used within a set time limit of between 90 to 365 days) from the Net10 web site on your home PC or directly from your phone's web browser. For example, a purchase of 200 minutes of usage expires within 30 days of your first use. The amount of service time varies depending on how many minutes you purchase, and any minutes leftover from the previous purchase will be rolled over. If you do not purchase and add more airtime before a due date, your service will be deactivated and existing minutes will expire.

You can also choose to call or text anyone in the U.S. on any network as much as you want for only $79.98 a month without signing a contract. Additionally, you can sign up for international long distance calling to over 60 international destinations (including Argentina, Brazil, China, Mexico, most European countries, and many more) from your Net10 phone for only 5 cents per minute plus airtime.

Phone Features
The LG 400G has an internal 1.5-inch color screen with a 128 x 128-pixel resolution and support for 65K colors (it does not have an external screen on the clamshell). It sits above a standard navigation area with send/end buttons and soft navigatoin keys, and is complemented by a standard alpha-numeric keypad. The phone's small internal memory can store up to 255 contact entries in the handset's phone book, which is capable of storing multiple phone numbers per contact entry and offers support for picture and ringer ID (when used with caller groups).

If you need basic messaging capabilities, the 400G has you covered as support is built-in for sending and receiving SMS text messages. The T9 predictive text technology is built into the unit, which autocompletes text for you as you type on the alpha-numeric keypad and offers options for selecting the correct word.

Other features include:

• Net10 Airtime Balance Display shows you how much airtime you've used and how much is left
• Includes 16 polyphonic ringtones
• Organizer tools: Calendar, alarm, calculator, stopwatch, world clock, notepad, unit converter, tip calculator
• Vibrating alert
• Multilingual menus (English and Spanish)

Vital Statistics
The LG 400G weighs 2.5 ounces and its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 7 hours of talk time, and up to 168 hours (7 days) of standby time. It runs on the 850/1900 MHz GSM/GPRS frequencies.

I've actually had this phone for a couple of years and it's served me quite well.
I dropped it 50 million times and even into a tub of dish water and it still worked fine after a day or so of drying out. If you don't use your phone a lot it works great, nothing fancy though. Customer service with Net10 always was great for me, maybe i got lucky.
Anyways after about 3 years of abuse mine is finally wearing down, worked great and was definitely an affordable phone.

I am a faithful Amazon.com fan and buy all my needs and wants here, but this was the biggest nightmare of all. I bought this phone about 7 months ago only for an emergency. I have Optimum and when the Cablevision goes out, so does the computer and phone. I had trouble with it from day 1. Couldn't hook up my Voicemail and so never used it. But I had to keep buying minutes. I did get the promised 300 air time minutes and spent about $35 more and had a total of 735 air time minutes when the phone died. I called and asked for a new phone and they asked how many minutes I had and I told them. They said according to their records I only had 45 and that was all I would get. I am getting a lawyer about this so please don't buy this piece of junk.
