  • I want to buy this phone. Im from the Philippines. Please HELP me

  • Does this phone support Java apps and games ??? Or there's error in the specifications ??

  • Does lg a230 have a signal on usa, canada, and mexico?

  • i loved this phone. charges fast and lasts for long time. signal strength I receive using this phone is very high compared to all other mobiles. smart antenna!!! :)

  • good phone

  • Its a bad phone. I was browsing internet when suddenly it stopped working and hunged. i hav tried repairing it but to no avail. what can i do to the phone? please help.

  • This phone isn't multitask. When you're browsing the internet, or running an app, you can't leave it in background to start another task. On task at a time, you can't even hear music while your browsing. But, I'm ok with it, good basic functions, and battery backup seems good for my needs

  • it doesn't work well with apps you download like facebook.. The left & right keypads don't work w/ apps.

  • Does it multitask?

  • Hi everyone! I would like to know if java applications can be minimized. In other words, does this handset multitask? Thanks.

  • nice ome.very long battery.high signal receiving capacity...........

  • how 2 erase recently used numbers??plss reply asap

  • is this phone still available here in the philippines? where? and how much? thanks..

  • nice phone especially in remote ares bcoz of long lasting battery.good one!!!!

  • Yes it does. It also has a function that allows you to program a fake call to your phone. Very usefull in boring or longlasting meetings, the phone rings exactly at the time you program it and as an actor, you answer and leave the meeting, hehehe. It even has a SOS text message when the SIM card is changed to alert a pre-determinated contact that the phone was stolen.

  • hi to all lg a230 user. i have a problem with my phone. can you delete your recently used number in sms mode? please answer me. ican't!!!!! even with restore factory!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • no, it can

  • It is dual stand by Phone, if you call using fist sim then second is not available

  • I live in Bogota, Colombia. I bought this phone like 6 months ago and it works perfectly. I use it on all 3 operators (Comcel, Movistar, Tigo) and it has perfect signal, I also used it in Venezuela (with int. roaming) and it worked perfectly. I also have a Blackberry Bold 9700 and one of the things I like most is that the AC charger and the wired handsfree are fully compatible, It can navegate with my BB data sim card! I bouth it in Unilago for $160.000. Is simple, easy to use, long lasting battery charge (8 days on normal use). LIght wieght.

  • It is dual stand by Phone or dual processor ... Anyone can answer me pl?

  • It is dual stand by Phone or dual processor ... Anyone can answer me pl?

  • This unit has a Bluetooth, and a 3.5 audio jack. GSM arena should update the specs of this phone... this is a good phone with nice basic features... if you want more features, pay more to have more... peace... :)

  • how to get this phone? coz I stay in ma rs....

  • Sound is very clear, far better than the earpiece of many Samsung phones where the sound comes distorted. Supports all java applications, whatever big. Experimented successfully with a 11 MB file.

  • is the sms can copy paste?

  • this phone is really good but company makes the fool in the case of battery backup.LG claims that its battery talktime is 17 hrs but practically is 4-5hrs.

  • Really worth the price, I highly recommend it. It has all the basic functions, is very customizable, and yet too simple. Also the battery is pretty good.

  • Yup ! Maarvalous simple To Use Phone ... Can Use Opera mini E buddy Any app... After all A Long period A Good Sim ple Phone Price - 2300/- -Dont Buy any Of Nokia Phoness

  • Please tell me that about it's loudness of sound about it's java application tuli,kolkata

  • Can you tell about it's sound quality & java application? pradip,kolkata

  • Can this phone use e buddy and twiter

  • iam using this phone from two months. phone is very good. one thing is key pad is not good. this is rubber key pad. when we use keys sound will come as chuk chuk. other wise battery & other options are is very good. some times some images are not opening. that showing error as a file size is very large.

  • with this phone you can enter and download internet version WEP not WAP via opera mini realy good phone

  • This phone can cut the mp3 song in many tracks realy its the best

  • I had experienced this better battery backup when I compared my Nokia 1110i compared to Nokia 1110 of others. It has been experimented and found true in reality and not in dreams ...

  • it's a good ang strong phone i like this gsm

  • iam using this phone from one week. very nice phone. battery back up also good ( depend upon usage )iam charging battery 3 days one time. iam received head phone also with this phone. but now a days company is not providing head phone. one thing is company is not provided usb cable. other wise phone is very fantasic. mails are opening smoothly. strongly recomended.

  • phone could not even open the images which are taken from 2 MP camera, and its app lock is a little bit good.... but battery talk time battery backup is realy poor.

  • hey all, do u know about the signal strenght of this phone, do it have anyproblem like LG a190?

  • The matter is not about comparing with samsung... But the matter is LG mis leaded by specifying talk time as 17 hrs... and that's alll...Take dual sim nokia X1 01 with 13 odd hrs of talk time and then see which set Really DELIVERS as regards Talk time......its NOKIA FOR ME

  • My answer is -----Simply do nothing with nokia dual sim X1-01 and you still get a very good batterry backup.....Turning display to black and font to white only save batterry in the dream not in reality...

  • Set the theme to Black. Take a snapshot thru camera in complete darkness and set the coal black jpg as wallpaper. Turn the colour of the disply fonts to white. You will definitely save battery. Dual sim phones always consume more battery, and if we go on juggling throughout the day through all the features supplied with the phone, the battery is sure to drain out early. I ran an 11MB .jar file and it executed wonderfully. The same is not possible with Samsung E2152, which does not allow to excute .jar files larger than 200KB, and also has a price tag of Rs.2700/- with a VGA camera and 2GB External Memory Support

  • fully faltoo phone. Lg specifies talk time as 17 hrs. But practically the talk time is 4 hrs. Lg website gives totally misleading and cheap tactics to improve sales. I got cheated by purchasing this phone bcoz my job was to stay connected but the phone perfomed miserably. Inspite of being rich in features talk time is pathetic. If i talk for one day the battery is discharged.

  • Dual Sim but No Dual Standby. Wireless FM with recording. Innumerable Java applications can be installed. Auto generation of MP3 playlists based on Artist, Genres, Album etc. 1.3 MP Still & Video recording. JPG image editor. MP3 file editor for clipping ringtones. Only one applications stated above can run at a time. The earpiece serves as the speaker for songs etc.

  • Bought on 31/10/2011 for Rs.2300/-. Fantastic Phone, but no USB Cable / 3.5mm Earphone supplied in the box. I was lucky that the USB Cable supplied with my old Maxx (Chinese) MQ606 (which had to run thrice to the service centre in the last six months) was compatible in connecting the A230 to the PC using the PC Sync software (about 55MB) downloadable from LG Web Site. I am still deeply confused, whether, although being branded LG, I will face the same fate as with my previous Chinese phone ?

  • it is dual standy phone ... and the battery back up is very good .. i have to charged my baterry in 5 days .... no network problems phones os is very fast...... only problem is we cant run song while using messgae or web.. but this is the best phone i have ever seen

  • it is best phone i have ever seen ... it has bluetooth .. widget gadgets... we can install java apps in external memory ....i.e,unlimited apps ....camera quality is awesome 1.3mega camera looks like 2mp pixel....and it does not hang any time ...... istead of buying nokia c1-01 lg a230 is best .....

  • Ameen is rite

  • This Phone Has 1 More Disadvantages That We Cant Able To Message While Using Multimedia(Mp3, Video Etc...)

  • Is it hang often, restrat or not?

  • are u sure?

  • for the same range of price here in Indonesia. Sams C3322 is lot better than this ...

  • is this phone dual standby or dual active? thanks

  • hi to all lg a230 user. i have a question. does the lg a230 has a auto reject function or reject list or black list like some other lg and samsung phones? please reply to this post thanks..

  • This phone has bluetooth and 3.5mm jack . Wrong Specifications of GSMARENA.COM

  • Basti, there's bluetooth.

  • This phone costs roughly Php 3,000. Looks like a direct competitor for C2-00. overall, very limited features for the price. the only one up is that is is tri-band, wireless FM and a 1.3 cam. no bluetooth and 3.5 jack kills it for me.

  • what a price of this phone

  • where did you get this phone . what is its cost. what about signal strength.

  • does this phone have a speaker. how about signal strength. does this phone have a inbuilt antenna for fm. some one who have used this phone share ur research on this phone working.

  • This is a very good phone for just Rs.2500/-,above info has some mistakes.IT SUPPORTS JAVA,has installed Opera Mini5.signal strength is very good.Games are Downloadable.It has Bluetooth also.

  • Does the A230 has an auto reject function like in some samsung phones?? thanks guys in advance..

  • its not even released, how did you get it and how much?

  • Signal strength on both sim is superb.

  • where did u get this phone. what is its cost .how does it compare with A165. i am interested to by this phone. how the signal handling capacity of the phone. please reply.

  • how is it different from A165. how about signal receiving quality. is A230 a dual standby.

  • Does any one know about the singnal strength..?

  • cmon guys! comment about dual sim functionality! not on camera, wifi, screen, etc... is it a good dual sim fone?

  • what about the camera? its clear?

  • very nice phone by lg it has usb and 3.5mm jack also bluetooth specifications should be corrected

  • Plz tell me about the following questions 1. How long it's battery backup? 2. prise 3. screen resolution 4. the keypad is made from rubber? 5. Quality of headphone which is given by LG Thank You

  • At lower price, dual best phone with good audio sound with bluetooth (missed in the specification),email, opera mini browser facilities. Strongly recommended.
