LG GB106 - User Reviews

  • very very loud sound phone. Be careful when you are calling someone, the sound maybe makes some damage to your ear..hehehe. we can't adjust the sound. the radio is awesomeeeeeeee!!! a good phone for back up.

  • will this model work in USA where they use 850 HZ also

  • I just bought this phone yesterday. opened and test it. I called my friends using this phone.. Wow man!! this phone is really great.I've spent 4hrs. talking in that phone even when the battery is low. Imagine!! It really true what it said in the phone feature "Long talk time". And the Radio wow, The sound is so loud and Clear!! ... It pretty nice phone at a cheapest price..

  • My mobile has i left in lost month but i have my mobile today the reason is i turned on the automatic mobile tracker & i track the thief & i handover the thief police station THANKS FOR THE AUTOMATIC MOBILE TRACKING SYSTEM THANKS TO THE LG

  • Why would an intelligent person put a phone to the ear when not using it?

  • Krianne, where did you buy your LG GB106? Thank U

  • Yes, mine does

  • bought this phone recently. simple UI and easy to use. can anyone tell if the phone indicates that the charging is complete?

  • Don't use this phone. The ring tone is produced by the same speaker that you hold to your ear when talking on the phone. If you hold the phone at your ear and someone calls you, you'll get hearing damage. This phone jeopardises your health and should be banned.

  • Initially I thought the LG GB106 phone was a great deal. However,I now consider it an extremely bad deal for the following reasons: (1) I find it difficult to here clearly through the speaker. (2) There was no English language manual provided with the phone bought in Bangkok (and could not find one online) (3) The phone died after about 60 days of use. (4)Fixing the phone (free of charge under warranty)took 5 weeks Prospective Buyers Beware

  • I'm using this phone.It's really a good phone for users who don't expect alot of functions and just a normal phone.battery life is damn good.i can use without charging back the phone for abt 2 days.Vibration alert for this phone is seriously strong!the vibration is VERY STRONG!so if u want a strong vibration phone...get this...

  • yes it has vibration alert but you cannot use other ringtone others than the built in ringtone.this phone is quite worth...but it will be quite slow under some operation,just tested one lg 3g phone(cheap one),i think it is quite nice compare to this.

  • I just got it seven days ago.everything was good till yesterday.But,today i'v to call two times for one call.Ist time I got no sound.Second time I can speak & hear.Sometimes it starts vibration & charge finished.

  • does this phone have vibrate alert type? I want to buy this phone

  • hi everyone i need to know if i can get small ring tones on this phone , cause i want buy one... thanks..

  • so far so gud the fone is been treating me very well and most off all i can rely on it...

  • Just got this phone 3 days ago and i can say im very happy with it. only bought it for P1,690.00 the battery life is so good. its a basic phone only rewarded with a wireless radio and the reception is clear. keypad is a bit hard to touch though as i was used with soft keys phones. the sound is good as well. its good enough for backup phones

  • nice opinion.:)

  • for additional information about this cell phone log on to www.terimaakichut.com

  • thank you Anonymous:-)

  • web browser, mp3, bluetooth and an invisible camera that no user cant recognize, oh yeah with special s/w you can turn this LG b 106 into touch screen phone! hahahahaha lol... for all additional s/w's log on to www.dumb&dumber.com

  • abs value for money. been using since a month and serves well. my first lg and am not at all disappointed. just what u would look for a practical, inexpensive cell. no gimmicks. u pay for what u use.

  • Hi Guys, this reply is not aimed at anybody in particular, it is just a general reply to all of those people who are complaining about this phone. I am an iPhone 3G user who wanted a second phone for an outdoor working environment, I am currently based in Thailand and just bought this little LG for 990 baht! that is about 12.50 in UK pounds!! jeez guys what do you expect for that kind of money, it is an awesome deal for a unique handset like this that can play FM Radio without an external antenna, it looks reasonably stylish it is lightweight has a really nice key layout with bright blue backlighting and yeh ok not a great feature list but again.....look at the price. Web browser, MP3 oh please are you kidding me.

  • gud reply.............absolutely....in basic model why people expect gprs????????

  • very lovely phone, i like this phone:-) simple and very lite weight, a great phone in its range compare to other phones.. dumb people says no gprs no wap no mp3? how can you people expect those feature in a basic model that to @ 1,715/-, don't post that kind of crazy comments, if want those features u better spend more money on your phone...

  • customers not satisfied this features

  • i cannot install ringtones why?

  • Nice ph in low price. FM is Loud & Clear. Battery back up is g8.

  • software problem 1.time rus fast 2.stolen msg run automatically even in right sceniario

  • whats the price and difference between gb105,106

  • From the GSM arena specification,there is GPRS feature in this phone.But my manual being in non-English language;I can get the default browser of the set.Truly speaking,I can't get any way to activate wap here. Can anyone please help me in this regard?Again,within this 1MB internal memory is it possible to download and install opera mini? Can anyone of you guyz tell me how I can get the English user guide of this set? Thanks in advance

  • Hi, any buddy know about the hands free? i need to buy one for this. the microphone is not working properly.... please help me, cheers :-)

  • When reading the sms, how many lines can it display?

  • it' radio is very nice and good radio is sterio with loud speaker this mobiles price is very good and normle.

  • this mobile is very niss and smart it's key pad is very good but it's radio is not hide,so it is not good

  • is it have call con tecility

  • Is FM mono or stereo???

  • when radio is on, its not possible to access other functions of the phone without exiting the radio first. radio does not play in background. However, the radio needs virtually zero start up time so i guess for the price of the phone, its not a very big issue.

  • Just bought this phone a week ago. Here is a list of pros and cons. Pros: 1) Comfortable keypads 2) Decent looking screen 3) UI very user friendly except messaging 4) Short-cuts on 4 way keypad very useful 5) Built quality is good 6) Very Cheap 7) Radio (Dont work very well when indoors) Cons: 1) Ringtones are loud but diminishes greatly when the speaker on top of screen is covered. Ringtone almost inaudible when in pocket. 2) Horrible ringtones. 3) Messaging not very user friendly. Have to keep pressing options to send and press option again to search for contacts. Whereas for nokia, send msg just press the green call button and press down to search contacts.

  • hey dont say the mobile is bad because i and my friends also using this phone its very good........

  • If FM is on, how can we use other menu options without closing the FM. can any body answer ?

  • Many people i know are very happy with the battery life. May be you can visit service center for a check up.

  • I tried using the USB cable to download wall paper from Web.... but failed, I think we have to survive with the three provided with the phone.

  • I bought this phone today, it is too good to be truth, what you said is perfectly correct and I am happy to have this phone

  • I bought this phone for my dad.. He is satisfied with the long hours talk time. He recharges the battery once in 3-4 days. Its very simple for him to listent to radio as its one touch radio is on without an connecting an enhancement. The number fonts are bigger in size - its easy for him to read even without his specs.. This phone is a very good choise for elderly people.. Thanks to LG.

  • no it dontv have mms/ gprs

  • very goooooooooooooooooooooood phone

  • it's really good ONE......those who are looking for BASIC needs. battery is Good, radio is OK. and ONE GOOD feature is on SIngle Contact name you can have 3 different nos like in Sony.......

  • Good, Not Very Good

  • Built in antena,thats must be in this era.. But no flaslight !? And heavy !? So this ph not yet for adventurer,backpackers or fisherman.

  • I am using this phone good experince is good but there is no wap

  • Please take ur phone go to check... this phone is emphasize for long bat usage... if u wana multifunction... please throw away tis phone... before u purchase shud know clear wat features included... be aware while choosing phone which shud suit to u and u able to well utilise tis...

  • There is no GPRS nor MMS..I am useing this phone from 2 months trust me this baby rocks talktime of 6 to 7 hours...good soung clarity... FM is good..And headphone also..Wat else can u expect for 1900/..Dont Liston to all those who tel -ve about this phone..Its too good

  • Didn't notice that the GB106 specs sheet on this website specified MMS and GPRS. GB106 doesn't have any of those features.

  • does it has GPRS/MMS? the info here accurate? can someone clarify this?

  • awesome cell by low price!

  • i am using this phone and its battery backup and talktime is awesome.... talktime is upto 6 hours....

  • gud phone, radio open sound is gud, battery backup is gud and lasts for 3-4 days with moderate usage.....

  • I have one for over a week already; and I agree 100%. Battery life is good; lasts about 3 days with moderate usage. A headset is included with the package. Radio is operational even when headset isn't connected, but radio reception will be affected. Limited customization options. You get what you pay for. For me, LG GB106 is one of the best buys in its price range.

  • the battery back is very poor this phone, standby time is uptp 24 hrs don't waste 1900 rs.

  • Not bad =)

  • i actually bought this ph seein battery back up but its worse. Talktime is not even 2hrs. And it becomes hot after 15min. Dont go for this mobile. And while listenin radio u cant do other works on this ph like msg typin etc. This mob sucks

  • boring phone think before buy no polyphonic download sysytem not support any kind of tones download.plz be insure if u r living in rural area where FM channels are not there then dont spent 1800 rs for this boring mobile

  • its a very gud phone

  • its a very gud phone

  • i am not getting backup

  • I have seen this phone. This has Intenna and you do not need to plug in the headset to listen to FM. It has a dedicated hot key in the D pad for FM on speaker. It is a novel concept. The voices are clear and loud, Speaker phone quality is good with minimal distortion. Battery back up is good - lasts two to three days for one hour talk per day in some what weak network signals. It does not support MP3, Browser, only three wall papers, only 10 polyphonic ring tones and 300 single field contacts and 100 SMS storage. Good starter phone / back up phone.

  • its a gud backup fone.....

  • no u cant download mp3 ring tones through sms
