LG KG275 - User Reviews

  • you can with LG

  • for something so cheap like this i have no regret! lol

  • It's a basic phone for calls and SMS, nothing else. Its weight is only 59 grams which is wonderful. You don't feel it in your pocket at all. If you don't want to have a brick in your pocket then buy this phone.

  • ahahha, im reading the opinions bout this phone , and a lot of people say that they regret in buying this phone , that it doesnt has any games and stuff like that, i have this phone cause i wanted a phone (not a psp or stuff like that ).. and i think if u guys spend a little more money , u might get the phone u wish... i mean its one of the cheapest phones ever pff

  • the security code usually is 0000 in some cases is 000000 but I'm pretty sure this one is 0000 (4 zeros) :) and btw I really really like the phone!!

  • its awesm set yaar.my cl nmbr-8801673011560 cl me n know details of this set

  • i like very much

  • Please some one tel me what is default password(or Security code) to change the settings. Also I want to know how stop the keypad sound as it irritates other who are with me and my self as well. Looking fwd yours help please again

  • I just love this phone. It gives me everything I need from a mobile phone (phone calls, SMS, battery life) at an extremely low price!

  • LOVE THIS PHONE .. nothing compares to it.. :P ... only yhing missing form being perfect are the games and some updated ringtones . everything else rocks.. its lightweighted, resistent (to practically ... ANYTHING..) ... hope you like it!

  • please i want to receive my messages on my sim but it goes to the phone...so how will i do it before it will go to the sim.

  • poor battery too crapy..and stupid nasty keypad

  • Very bad sound. It has some kind of filter, you can't hear when somebody speaks quietly. Does anyone know if this filter can be turned off?

  • very good phone..much better than lg cookie and i- phone..nothing can beat it......it rocks!.......

  • i think this is a good cell phone. but i am confused abt the battery.

  • yeah...i regret buy this phone...it has no game, and...argh..dont know what to say...just one sentence...i really really really regret buy this phone....

  • Dual band means in 900/1800 MHz freq (for voice & data transmission and receptions) supported network you can operate the phone. Tri band means in 900/1800.1900 Mhz freq supported network you can operate the phone. Most of the GSM networks support Dual band around the World except US and some other countries

  • how long battery holds ? pleas help, i think I could buy this phone

  • i still this mobile. this is the best mobile in low rates..

  • hi.a type of very bad thing.i hope u never buy.good luck

  • my luck with lg is soo bad all my lg things is fast died (my mobile lg275, my monitor lg.....ets). be careful when you think to buy any LG things

  • bekaar mobile

  • Totally Sucking mobile, battery life is too short, & Screen light vibrates produces waves, which really sucks. Don't buy this one.

  • Hi, I tried to cable connect LG KG275 to PC (using KG800 cable), unfortunately "USB device is not working properly" error message appears. Is anyone more lucky with data cable conenction ?

  • Go to Contacts, Search, activate the menu at the lower left corner,scrol down untill the last option which is Text input, select Input method, select Abc mode, OK. And it is done!!! The predictive text or dictionary mode is simply infuriating.

  • This is a trendy little masterpiece. In actual fact phones in near future are going 2 be as light and compact as this KG 275! - Of course with compressed technology. Thanx LG!

  • its not agood way to say your opinion many people use this phone and another phones like it

  • i like this phone its very good for basic use not more and its very cheap in my country

  • Very old fashion Mobile . Now to day no one in world use such Phone

  • Short Battery Life :(

  • Does this phone has FM RADIO on it.. It look good for a basic phone but need the radio badly and where can i get it in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.?

  • i ve a lg kg276 basic phone without FM..where i can download ringtones for it

  • JUST purchased this little piece with a classic design and basic features. ii

  • i hav this fone.... it keeps on alerting me very often... tat minute remainder i changed it to off..... again am gettin d same..... could u helo me pls???

  • i'm using this phone as in Singapore, when we go and do our annual Military Reserve (reservist) training, we cannot bring in a mobile phone with a camera. This is a great phone with almost virtually ZERO mobile problems. calls are made and received with ease. Same can be said for the sms-ing. I really enjoy the T9. Wonderful phone for those who need a phone to use as a PHONE. Like another said, If u need a camera or a mp3 player, go get the proper ones. ;) I currently also own a Nokia N80 and that does all the functions that I WANT. Well, I don't really like LG Products but this is a good phone to have as a back-up.

  • I'm planning to buy this one. Even though I'm a teenager, I feel about phones this way: Need an mp3-player? Buy one. Need a camera? Buy one. Need a video camera? Buy one. In short: I buy my phone for calling an sms'ing, something that phones are pretty good at. This is why I don't need all the extra stuff. But I'd like to hear: 1 - How many text messages can you have in your inbox approx.? How about the outbox and the sketchuals? 2 - Can someone explain me the difference between dual-band, tri-band and quad-band? 3 - Does something happen to this phone if you i.e. drop it on the floor? Is it good quality? 4 - Are there calculator, calendar, games and/or color display?

  • can i use handsfree

  • Have been using the phone for the past 5 months, its good, portable and easy to operate. But my problem is on the games that you said it has, where can i find them? mine does not have. Can i also have a manual for the KG275

  • it seems sad the phone nothing special, kinda basic.

  • I use LG KG275 as 2nd mobile for 2 months. Its good for very light duties. I just wanna ask how I can shift to next line when typing sms?

  • Specifications: USB -> YES.Can somebody tell me the code of the data cable? [email protected]

  • This is great second phone. It has everything necesary for people who use phone for basic functions. Very light. In my country price is around 50 EUR.

  • After you have make a call and you are connect : Press : -> Options -> Speaker Activated Simple :-)

  • Great phone :-) First Basic phone from LG who is Very good , i like it and i have it ;) the battery is now stand by for 4-5 days :-) Recomand all to buy it , I repeat : First Great Basic Phone From LG ;) BUY IT !

  • i have not yet buy this phone but i wish to buy it after reading all the reviews of people.i found 70%and above about the +ive qualities of it.

  • I like the software on this one..very nice and easy to navigate...a very very light phone! good sound and vibrator is quite strong. Over all it has made me feel content.

  • Very Bad Battery Performance.Low Speaker Sound.Clearity Is Not Avalable.Very low Network Signal.Not Enough Ringtones.

  • anyone knows the code of the cable?

  • Does anyone know if operating instructions can be downloaded in English for this phone please or wheere one can be obtained.

  • getting out of T9!!! press # - so simple.

  • this!!!! nothing impressive but VERY convenient!!!! perfect for those who wants to get away from complicated-electro-life-steyl: mp3, camera, X megapixel, bluetooth and so on...

  • I'm also just bought it. Light & simple. Yeah, you just on the speaker once you're on call. Press left top button & select.

  • i found this phone really cheap @ a shop near to my house...this phone was for 188 saudi riyals... with a new sim card... 150 saudi riyals charge credit... at the end it was only for $10.. 33 Saudi riyals... though i already have an n72... a siemens... and another nokia... i thinks its a great phone with value of money... i'd really like to ask if this phone has the the 'mobile tracker' that i heard that lg phones have

  • Just got this KG275 smart little phone but it says on the box that it's a speaker phone, does anyone know how to switch to speaker mode as there are no instructions how to do it in the manual.

  • Well what I got to say about this phone is this that LG made this phone for those who are oblige to have cheap price phone cuz of snatching threat. But indeed it's performance is good & design is kinda cute and plus it got good connectivity ooopss it became excellent choice by my comments. Anyway I am happy to have this cuz its nice!

  • there is no way of connectivity in kg275 & kg288 thats the big problem otherwise its cool & i'll prefer kg288 instead of kg275

  • No usb nor any other type of multimedia connection.What the phone has is what you have to live with.IMO it�s excellent for a 2nd phone.

  • I want to know if this phone has USB.Can somebody tell me?

  • Simplicity at its best.Good screen quality,loud and nice ring tones and speaker phone,profiles and more...

  • No games because the phones aren't games consoles. This a simple and very efficient phone. Slim and lightweight.

  • LG KG 270's battery time is very low...and the voice of key pad is very irritating!!!!

  • i dont see any games on the phone ..can someone explain to me ?

  • Alejo: 0000 (4 zeros) is the factory default

  • i want to know what is the reset code number.

  • Jo : In texting, press the key # successively until appears Abc or abc or ABC, at upper right corner.

  • Bought phone for a present but can't find how to change from predititive text to normal text. Can anyone help?

  • Yes, I finally spotted the caps lock/numeral indicator on the screen -- but it's tiny and barely legible.

  • To fihart: look at upper right corner when texting. You have there the indications: T9Abc,T9abc,T9ABC,123,Abc,abc,ABC that apppear with sucessive presses on key #

  • Also bought mine for a tenner in Sainsburys. This phone is fantastic value for money, so simple that anyone can use it, which is why I've given it to the wife... To all that are winging that there's no tri-band, camera, media player, holy grail, Man Utd season ticket etc - what do you expect for TEN POUNDS?!?!

  • Only problem is with texting -- unlike a Nokia the KG275 has no onscreen indicator to show whether you are in upper or lower case or numerals.

  • hi guys and girls i really need ur opinions of buying this phone i got 10 pound sainsbury voucher and i don't know if i should nbuy it

  • LG KG275 reception is strong. I experience it can make call in many places while other handphones are in black spot.

  • Hi all I got the phone in a similiar way to some of the subscribers. i.e For �1 with other Pixmania purchases. Problem is, it only came with a French userguide. Any ideas where I can get an English version? Thanks Sam

  • Brilliant little phone, especially since I bought it for EUR 1.00 from Pixmania as part of a package! It does the basics very well, nothing fancy or gimmicky. Suits my wife perfectly.

  • Well nice phone with high sound very portable but i want the advance one to come in town very quickly,Huh i like your phones i will say you are very Good at doing it,pls Dnnt put a pole on top lol Eben Ghana

  • I bought this phone in Sainsburys for �9.99 that included 50 free texts plus �1 credit. I don't want to pay for a phone with a camera, an mp3 player, games or a radio, features I won't use. So this was excellent value.

  • Cracking wee phone. Nice screen and does the basics well. Bought it at Sainsburys for �10....no top-up required either! A bargain.

  • Bought yesterday. Good sound quality. It can be personalized. Light-you can't feel in your pocket.I recomand for people who wants to use for phone calls.

  • dudes y'all complaining about how this phone don't got camera and whatnot, i gotta say whats up with that. this is obviously a phone that was built simple on purpose, for people who don't care about taking photos or doing their taxes on their phones. so before suggesting that a phone like this needs a camera you had better ask yourselves what you are doing looking at the KG275.

  • I bought this phone on a whim, when shopping in Sainsburys. I wanted a replacement emergency PAYG phone for my car. This being less than ten GBP whilst looking quite reasonable, fitted the bill. Being locked to Orange as a bit of a bind, because I have always found the Customer Sevice to be awful, but other than that I have found this device to be thoroughly delightful.It feels light, without feeling cheap, with excellent battery life (prob because it has so little to do) and unobtrusive. A great phone for my needs.

  • y think that is a good phone. this fhone have a lot things and whit camara this celular could be a very good phone

  • yeah i just brought it for ten pounds whislt i get a better one.Its fine for just texting and calling people but it would be better with music and a camra

  • hmmm, okyish fone, saw one on ebay for �18!!!

  • First post! Hooray! This phone is a low-level model, but dual band, really? They should do away with that all together, at least make it tri.
