What People Are Saying

Rated 1 out of 5 by from a dog of a phone I bought this phone through Verizon in La Jolla California. The sales person was friendly until I needed customer service. on average it takes over a minute access my contract. or move from one app to another. I restarted it. closed back ground apps and deleted many of my contacts. Its a total dog.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Many Dynamite Options in Small Package I had this product since last September and it never worked until I returned to LG for service. Works great now.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Can't Complain.......I'm old school I'm not into carrying or use smartphones with me all the time. As a Deaf man, my family and I depend on using ours to stay in touch with ourselves for any reasons. I am glad I picked the K8 VS 500 as opposed to the Samsung or iPhones. It's still in great use and have the same one for almost 2 years without any problems or frustrations.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very Nice "Budget" Phone I guess I'll preface my review with this disclaimer that I don't demand a lot of my phones. I make calls, text, listen to music, use it for navigation, pretty basic stuff. And this phone adequately suits my needs. At a price of $74, I knew I wasn't getting LG's flagship smartphone, and I set my bar accordingly. I've owned it for about 3 months now and I don't have anything negative to say about it except that the quality of the photos is only average. This is the first LG phone I've owned and I find it very user friendly and intuitive. The processor is smooth and doesn't get bogged down, screen resolution is crisp, battery life is good for the day, Bluetooth connectivity has never been an issue, and I can see myself being satisfied with this phone for a couple years. When I do replace it, I'll probably buy another LG. If you're looking for an inexpensive, basic smartphone, I would recommend it.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Only good if you need a quick replacement Good phone if you need a super cheap replacement really fast, otherwise, dont waste your money. I loved this phone for the first 4 months or so, and thats about it. Its been a year now and its slow, the camera is ok at best, apps like snapchat and google maps crash every other day, and I have to factory reset it every couple months because I stop getting texts. I originally planned to keep this phone a full two years, but am already searching for another phone after one. Also, overheating is a thing if you run an app for like, 5 minutes it gets very warm, sometimes even hot. There are few cases that work and screen protectors dont stick to the screen at all. Honestly, you dont need a case or protector anyways. The only good thing about this phone is that you could throw it against a brick wall and the wall would break before the phone.
