LG KG225 - User Reviews

  • It was alright when I had it but a year after using it I dropped it and the charging port broke,I miss it in 2019

  • i want battery for this mobile lg kg 225 so please give me respectable response

  • Being a OAP, this was the perfect phone for me. It was elegent and easy to use, plus it had VGA camera so I could take pictures while on my holidays abroad with my friends. It does all the things you want a good phone to do, call and text. Thats all you need, I mean all these silly puffy techy computerized phone with WEB acces and electronic mail are all money making scams and seem to break easily anyway. Overall a excellent basic phone. Perfect!

  • I had this phone and it was really good for the basics. It was small and easy to slip in your pocket although mine got the blue screen of death (the screen goes a blue and it wont turn off)

  • I used to have this phone but bought a brand new LG Viewty in silver. I was right be doing that as this phone is total garbage. The colour screen is terrible and the ringtones are dreadfull, I had loads of trouble finding one I like. The games were OK but were not good enough so I purcesd the sims 2 for fiver! Overall this phone is bad in featues but is good for old perople as it's simple and easy to operate.

  • Yeah, one more thing. By ringtone, I mean a ringtone that you can CHOOSE, example: go on google, type in "pizza pie lyrics" and then ontop of the lyrics it says "make this your ringtone", can you do that with the KG LG 225?

  • Okay, I'm getting an LG KG225... a lot of people are saying it's a pile of fresh crap, is that true?! It DOES look good, and nice n' small. I just want to know if you can TEXT, have a RINGTONE, take PICTURES, and have good connection when you're talking. I just need that, and that's it! Thank you.

  • i dont know anything bout this fne the only thing i know is that our sales trainer whose name is jopskee gave me the task to do research bout this lg kg225 i based my report from all those opinions that ive read and almost 60% of it is negative hehehehe specially bout the battery hehehe but i think the fne is gud it's the only non nokia fne that is user friendly it fits for all ages..this came from the 40% wu posted positive feedbacks

  • my sister has this phone. it is easy, small, beautiful, but i do not like the camera.

  • wawa!!!!!GREAT PHONE!! potable easy to carry. Guys I have been using da phone almost 3 years to date.every one admire it the wei it iz! Try it guyz

  • This is my phone and I think it is absolutely exelent. The camera is good and I like the small compact size and glossy finish. Whoever diss's this phone or anything LG makes should be shot dead. Who cares if they copy a few of apple's junk, like their phones. I think LG is way better than apple.

  • This is my phone and it is realy simple and i enjoy using it. End of story.

  • Mine has completely run out of battery, and I'm finding it very difficult to recharge it. I turn it on, it has the short welcome message type thing, then it says 'battery low' and turns itself off before I even have time to plug it into the charger. And it doesn't even turn on every time I try. Help please!!

  • It makes calls, it takes calls, it sends messages, it recieves messages. That's all I need it to do, and it's never failed me for any of those.

  • i bought this phone about 9 months ago and it has already died. the camera is bad and it has no bluetooth or any connectivity options. no music player , DONT BUY THIS PHone it is really bad the layout is alright but battery life is really poor

  • interested in your knowledge for downloading and sending pxts! unsuccessful in all attempts fanxs

  • HEY, i have this phone it is GREAT!! except 4 da cam!!!! other than that its a great easy 2 use phone

  • hi, idont have this phone but it looks ok i used to have lg kg800 then i sold it so know i am looking for a phonw and you neva know this could be it

  • i bought this mobile phone in australia brisbane with provider by virgin mobile but then i cant use it because im moving on to Indonesia country. Do I have to unlock it ? If so,what should i do to unlock this mobile phone?? Please Help me.. Thanks..

  • Hi. Has anyone succeeded in getting pics off the phone? Any feedback on Cemeterybird's message below offering to tell us how?

  • I've using this phone for a year now and I think it's great. I've never had any problems with its function.

  • Well this probably comes far too late (I expect most of you have slung your KG225's by now) but if anyone is still interested in finding out how to upload your pics from your phone to your PC, after many long months and expense, I have done it!!! Please email me direct if you are interested: [email protected]

  • worst phone ever. seriously, dont even bother buying it. awful reception when you're in a call, and hangs up by itself. it freezes. internet doesn't work, & yes, i've contacted my service provider to get it fixed. - it didnt work. When i first bought it, i put it on the charger, and it didnt work at all, i had to take it back to where i bought it from for a new one. poor camera quality. buttons are hard to press. when you're texting, it doesn't always put down what you want to say, if i wanted to put in 'ABC' it would probably come up 'AC' when in ABC text. tiny screen. there's nothing good about this phone.

  • the camera is not clear!is there any way to capture a clear picture??even in nights or days???what kind of cell is this?i dont understand.....

  • This phone is crap! I've had it 4 two years and there has been nothin but problems. I would rate it 4/10 Pros- Small Battery Lasts Strong Cons- Shit camera quality Keypads hard to use Slow with texting Not enough good ringtones Internet connection Not enough games Hard to flip up It's just crap all together really. I though it was going to be an awesome phone, but its turned out crap. If you're thinking about getting this phone then think again!

  • TERRIBLE! Endless problems. Phone intermittently says its switched off when receiving calls. Phone was replaced but same problem occurred again. Hard to use. Camera is poor quality. Program is illogical. Keys are hard to press. Strongly recommend not to buy.

  • pls. e-mail me about this if u know what to do because my phone has a problem its cute and small but when i load my Cell phone the internet had sent me many links about this and eat all my load what should I do? pls. e mail me ill wait til the end of April or May pls. Answer.. :(

  • mine broke...rrr...

  • No this phone is great, sure its small but its easy to use and so handy for keeping in your pocket or in a handbag. I've had it for 2 years and it has never broken, get this phone!!

  • No one get this phone it suks!!!!!!! It has nothing gd on it and it is so small.

  • Hi - Has anyone who has posted here or owned an LG KG225 ever succeeded in downloading their photos to a PC? So many of you have asked the same question over the past year or two, but no one has come back to say if they've managed to do it yet!! Someone posted a link to a site called Thawte - did anyone use them? Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

  • Can anyone send me a link for the lg kg225. I have bought a datacable to download photos from the phone to the pc, but it didn't have any software! Hope someone can help .....

  • Hey i am getting one of theese fones theyt are wikk

  • keypad is good........... spkphone has good sound

  • guys dis phone is awesome

  • hey guys, I own one of these phones, but for some random reason when i turn it on, all i get is a blue screen. but when i dial a number and press call, the other phone rings..which makes me think its just a screen and speaker problem or something. i'd like to replace it, but the problem is, all my contacts are saved to the phone memory. i was wondering if anyone would be able to post up the key sequence i need to press to transfer my contacts to my sim card. any help would be great! thanks d

  • I used this mobile from the past one year now its display is not working there is some problem with the strip

  • Nan has this and its a great entry-level performer! She paid $129 and now its down to $60 AUD in Australia, but thats over 15 months so it's been doing great :) Easy to use as well

  • I have this fone for a few years now but the battery is very bad right now!!! but it's a nice fone 2c

  • Laura: This LG has com connectivity, so you should theoretically be able to hook it up to a com port and it should somehow work. Also i have seen usb cables on eBay, but i'm not sure how it suposed to work, when phone clearly does not support USB connectivity. You can always send a thing to any other phone via mms.

  • i just want to know how can i get the pictures off the phone!! i have looked everywhere for the USB for the camera..and apparently it doesn't exist!! i tried looking for the way to email the pictures and i think i am trying all wrong!! so why does this phone even have a camera if you can't even get the pictures out of it???

  • Phone is well built, just dropped it by accident, one scratch and no other signs of waste-age :) good. BTW... if you want to take a photo by yourself a proper digital camera not a mobile, if you can't afford one, don't complain that phone worth A$80 can't take a family photo...

  • at specifications

  • you can see info on many sites instead of writing here, search on google, or look at this page

  • No it hasn`t

  • my dads going to buy me this phone and i dont no if it has blue tooth. Dose it??

  • my uncle is gna get me this fone in like 2 weeks. i dont knoe whut you people are going on about that its $79, cuz the one im getting is $99. and its from BigW and its Pure and WHite. and it comes with this really pretty hilary duff with love charm. the pink phone came with a britney spears fantasy 1.2ml charm. it is really cool. and i hope it works good cuz its going to be my first phone... i hope.!! well good luck everyone else who is going to get this phone too.

  • can you have mp3 music on this phone??

  • best phone ive had small compact easy to use but unfortunatly not washing machine proof(cry) also hard to get a usb cord 4 it,s camera not sure if u even can

  • hey i'm just wondering does it come with a charger??? thx heaps

  • hey i think that this phone is alright but wat do ya expect from a $79 peice of plastic i just have one thing to say when i clicked on pictures it came up with some that had been taken by the in built camera and i have to say that i dont think they were taken by the lg kg 225 phone because the quality is to good for a 0.3 mp camera phone

  • Hi, it does have scheduler, but very simple one :) cheers

  • Hello. I am wandering if LG KG225 have any organiser (such as schedule) functions. I checked on the web but it looks like it doesn't have any. So I would like to confirm if it is true. It would be great if you could answer my question. Thank you for your help : )

  • first off people learn some english. i am looking to buy this phone and i think so far it's sounds awesome! i can't wait to get it.

  • OMG what do you people expect to get when you buy a $79 phone. Stop being so cheap. There is no way you will get the features you expect on a cheapo.

  • good 4 kids not for teens or adults but great for old people becuase of this phones simplicity

  • buy a lg kg245 its only 20 dollars more in australia on vodafone and kg245 is better

  • my god dont buy this! its crappy it feels light and flimsy camera is not good and after you use it for a while photo taking becomes blury buttons and screen feel too small and it is only available in one colour! The polyphonic ringtones are crap and the games suck i mean whats so good about suduko and haloween fever so thats 7 reasons not to buy a $79 phone lg could have done better im very ashamed with them :(

  • i think the 225 is better but i need ur opinion

  • shud i get lg 225 or 220? is cheaper and i have herd better results.but im wondering if dearer is better in this case.plz reply im buying this fone soon

  • My parents got it. It is easy to use, sleek, made of good quality plastic, does not squeek or give the impression that it is going to fall appart. Phone is really nice. Buttons are a bit small, but the click feedback is ok, screen is bright, speaker is loud, but it should have separate speaker when the phone is closed. Phone camera is ok, nothing special. A... and in black coulour (maybe in others too) you can see a glitter shining - really nice :) Good phone.

  • my sister has had this phone for about 4 months now. Boy has it gone though a hell lot of beating. Its now my phone and ive had it for about 3 weeks. I couldn't be happier. The only thing that isn't perfect is that the camera is really close to where i hold the phone. so i always end up covering the Lenz. Buy this phone.. Its Reliable.

  • My grandpa bought this phone

  • i have been using the kg225 for the past two months and im in africa. everybody who sees my fone goes crazy, and im also crazy about it...it is my best fone guys....LG keep it up!

  • this phone is just a better version than the kg220. I think it has more memory, and is eaiser to use, so far i know. if its cheaper, and a better version than the kg220, buy it, because the colour should not make the phone cost more, lol. love hannah xoxox P.S. THIS PHONE IS FANTASTIC!

  • What is the difference beetween the KG225 and the KG220? cos im looking at em and this one is cheaper than the 220- which iz pink.

  • This is a great phone - with a weight of 70 grams it's possibly the smallest phone around and one of the best looking too. Who cares about crap like bluetooth and USB connections - We don't need that...

  • My 13 year old son bought this phone for his birthday. He is rapt with it, as I am. I wish it was mine. Looks great, easy to use and all the features that he (and myself) would need. Cost $89.00 with $15.00 worth of credit with it. And came with a pouch. Vale for money.

  • dis phon mi lykin

  • This fon seems fantastic and good/nice looking be presented as a gift and easy to use.but my little problem with LGphones is the persistent freezing of almost every lg phones and mouthpiece problems occasionally.CAN u pls renew ur technology if possible.thanks

  • Hi, I'm looking at buying this phone and was wondering what the SMS is like on it as I do a lot of that. Any thoughts would be appreciated! Thanks

  • Ha! Yeah, seemed to be out of stock everywhere I looked as well, finally got the last one at BigW Kingston.. I'm really happy with it:D it's simple. But simple is always good...

  • i just bought my phone today and was real lucky getting it coz i went to almost every store at the plaza and the lg kg225 was out of stock! haha! i had the second to last one :) i'm already in love with it. it's very simple, sexy and cute. i recommend this phone to first phone buyers or teens. it's great!

  • it is cool

  • I love this phone!!! so easy to handel...and so lovely to see.. LOVE IT!!!

  • Bought it a month back, Fantastic and sleek phone. Great looks, battery life and clarity. Best Phone of 2006!!!

  • This is a good phone for the price. Plenty of features and simple to navigate. Clearly the best in its price range.

  • I bought a LG KG225 mid August 2006 to use as a camera and phone etc only to find out there are no data cables or disk to down or up load. any infomation to correct this problem would be appreciated. Thank You

  • I've had this phone for a couple of days now and so far so good. The design is sleek and compact and does indeed look as small as in the advertised pictures. The screen is quite small compared to the samsung ones in particular. Battery seems to be lasting admirably. The phone is as basic as one would expect but the menues are logical and the camera is surprisingly good. The only problem people might have with the phone is that the soft key buttons at the very top of the phone can sometimes be difficult to hit correctly. Would recommend this phone to people that want a basic cheap but small and good looking phone.

  • This phone is so awesome im gedtting it for my birthday i recomend it to anyone!!

  • @ pYGq, first why does it matter if you're from croatia :o) ?! And second, what do you mean by those very bad experiences??

  • OMG i love this phone i want it :):) its only �59.99 if u buy it at argos!!! yey:)

  • I bought this phone on the weekend and expecting only a little bit.... and i got my expected little bit plus much more. If you are looking at buying this phone but your not sure it will do much will listen to me, it does alot and it looks nice! so buy it

  • exactly, the ammount of crud phones we get back a.k.a panasonic/lg and even nokia is ridiculous, then you get the people who abuse us as if its our problem, we didnt make the phones so y dont you contact the person who cares!!!!!!

  • they look sooo mad but i guess im only a kid but if you want style get the LG!

  • LOL,im not personally interested in the phone im just interested in how well does it turn out to be becouse i dont want people coming back and throwing that little black phone in my face! :D

  • Im from Australia, and im in my teens, and i just love LG. Why wouldn't you get an LG?? They're very easy to use, and cheap... they've got good features, and they look cool, if you want a good fone for ur teen, get an LG!!

  • No offense intended but if you work with mobiles, I have no idea why you would be interested in an lg to start with, this is a basic entry level that looks good for users who dont want features....although their latest handsets have up to date features and far better firmware...LG is definately making tracks in the right direction, not only do the supply for the lower end but or extremely advanced in high end handsets as seen in korea and the likes there

  • how much memory does it have?

  • im from croatia, and i work with mobile phones,its my job and i have had very VERY bad expiriences with LG phones....bad software...i just hope that this one will have a more stable firmware since it is an entry level phone and doesnt have so many functions.

  • looks like the Moto PEBL with no screen at the front. Overall a good low class entry phone for everyday phone users.
