Amazon.com Product Description

The perfect complement to Net10 prepaid wireless service, the sleek, lightweight LG 600G offers an affordable way to stay in touch with family and friends across town and around the globe via voice communication and text messaging.

Check out the Net10 coverage map.

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 clamshell LG 600G has an internal LCD screen with a 128 x 160-pixel resolution and support for 65K colors, and it's complemented by an external screen (96 x 64 pixels, 65K colors) that displays current time, battery life, signal strength, and incoming calls. The internal phonebook can store up to 1000 contact entries, and it supports multiple numbers per contact entry as well as caller groups.

Handsfree communication is easy thanks to the integrated speakerphone. This phone also provides Bluetooth wireless connectivity (version 2.0), and includes profiles for communication headset, handsfree car kits, and file transfer.

Support for basic text messaging and multimedia messaging (MMS) are built into the 600G. When used in combination with the phone's built-in camera, MMS opens up a whole new world of messaging fun. The T9 predictive text entry technology is built into the unit, which makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets--a plus for mobile email and text messaging users.

Other features include:

• Net10 Airtime Balance Display shows you how much airtime you've used and how much is left
• VGA camera for still photos with multi-shot, self-timer, brightness, white balance functions
• Organizer tools: Calendar, alarm, calculator, stopwatch, world clock, notepad, unit converter, tip converter
• 32-chord polyphonic ringtones plus vibrate mode
• WAP 2.0 browser

5.0 out of 5 stars It's Simply THE BEST, May 30, 2010

I have had this phone for a month now. It replaced a Verizon cell that was costing me $50.00 a month ($10.00 of which were Taxes), $600.00 a year.. I average 250 minutes a month useage. Now for $200.00 for the YEAR, I received 1500 minutes added with the Double Minutes for life totaled 3000 minutes. That is 250 minutes a month at less than $17.00 a month! The reception is good , the voice quality is good, the texting is good and the Bluetooth works with my U-Connect Bluetooth phone system built nto my car's audio system (2010JEEP Wrangler). I can,using the U-Connect Bluetooth system, make VOICE ACTIVATED CALLS on this phone. It has a host of other features...calender, camera etc... This is a GREAT BUY.

3.0 out of 5 stars Perfectly adequate phone., January 11, 2010

This review is from: LG 600G Prepaid Phone (Net10) with 300 Minutes Included (Wireless Phone Accessory)

This phone has good sound quality and gives excellent reception in the places I've used it. The Bluetooth feature works just fine. The camera isn't great, but what cell phone camera is? My only complaint with the phone hardware is that the casing feels kind of plasticky and flimsy; however, I've dropped it a few times with no damage, so it's apparently stronger than it feels.

My only complaint is with Net10 customer service, which is pretty awful. The people you reach on the phone are useless; they can't do anything you can't do for yourself through the website. Your only hope if you have a complex problem is to find one of their internal email addresses.

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE my new TracFone!, December 25, 2009

I love this new TracFone! It's very easy to use and has many new features that my previous phone did not have. I've been a TracFone customer for many years now and have always been impressed with their service. There are very few "No Service" notifications in our travels--TracFone is everywhere! The LG 600G is awesome! You can download new ringtones, surf the Web and add several phone #s for contacts. I love the flip phone and the display on the outside of the phone. I'm a very satisfied customer.
