LG KP105 - User Reviews

  • c is a pretty phone durable and easy to perform unauthorized use

  • i like this phone but i lost the charger where can get it cheeper? thanks

  • Lousy KP105phone Li-Ion 3.7V 900mAh battery. Bought KP105 in Jan2009, almost never used except for in army reservist training which is once a year, less than 2weeks each time- when new, battery can last up to 5 days/charge (talk time ~20mins/day). Started using KP105 more often since Feb2012 cos using other(Sony/3G) phone for mobile internet connection. Suddenly, about 1 month ago, discovered that KP105 starts to last only under 24hrs per charge (minimal/no call/sms made)- this is very poor as compared to my Sony Ericsson 3G phone still last at least 4-5 days/charge (minimal use) and that was bought in 2007. In comparison, the LG KP105 battery is a very lousy one.

  • its very good mobile phone .but its battery are not working properly . not they ware filling

  • how do I make the alarm work? i could never manage to make it work, i could always set it but it just won't alarm. and I misplaced its user's manual so....

  • battery is very weak...always dead :-(

  • nice phone. i bought it in 2008. still im using this phone. its been 4years.

  • how do you reset the security code if uve forgot it

  • I'm from Uzbekistan. I like this phone. LG KP105!

  • this phone sucks no mmc and short battery life

  • I have this type of phone standard and simple phone. .. I love it because it is a gift from my Dad.

  • its a simple phone

  • this is the best worst phone from LG i used so far...battery very weak

  • the software is defective. if you still have the warranty card, you can have it fixed by lg

  • yes and the stupid phone cannot send mesages when your outbox is full.

  • THis set is shape wise gud ..... But its keys makes a alot of sound and by the time you use it... IT becomes very slow...:-@. Simply a crap!!! Resale value is nothing... PLz dnt buy this set... ITS my sincere advice to you......

  • good phone and wish u all to have this

  • pls help me fix my cell kp 105 bcoz its hang now keypod is not working now pls pm me at my facebook acount,

  • how to format my lg kp 105 becuase my cell is hang now,keypod is not working

  • Very bad phone, it's a waste of money. -Frequent reboots, and you have to wait 1-2 minutes for contact list to load after each reboot. -Hard and noisy keypad. -While writing a message, it takes ages for characters to appear on the screen after you press the buttons and it's very annoying. -Frequent "limited service" messages. -Very low capacity for storing messages, only 100 for sent, received and delivery reports; altogether. And you have to clear them MANUALLY! very odd! -If you receive a call during writing a message, it wont be saved in draft box and you will lose it all. -For writing with a non-Latin script (which EXISTS in the firmware), the phone's language must be set to a language that uses that script!

  • This is the best phone I have ever had, thank you LG, I

  • the best phone ever made

  • Best phone I ever had.

  • the earphone could easily broke, like mine! both speakers broke altough it fell from about a metre on grass. well it is reasonable 4 the price

  • whatever..as long as you can make and received call..

  • I don't want kp 105 a lot of error I buy my own. if the enbox was full 100 messages you cannot send a message you need to delete file message before you cant send a message and also ever two hour it well shot down.

  • nice phone^^

  • Good. one of my friend Nishantha also brought this phone for his wife. :)

  • the phone is cheap but i do not like its messaging..you have to wait for your message to be sent before you do other things..the keypad is also "hard". i agree with the others. few ringtones also..specially message alert tones..

  • its simple so no problem

  • cant find a cellphone casing!!!!! screen is easily scratch but durable

  • how do i solve this problem of no network coverage on my lg kp 105 mobile phone,

  • no radio fm in mine

  • i agree w/ u jyke28. keypad is so hard. i dont like the radio feature coz once u turn the radio on and then u want to tect, it will switch off the radio... and the battery life is 2 days..not like my old samsung phone. but the price is affordable,the call quality is excellent, just as excellent as it looks. unlike nokia phones that are Php1000-1500, they look cheap.

  • Only one feature is missing. Big digital clock screen saver.

  • very bad sound during calls no one can hear me

  • hi does it hava reject call? my lg secret have reject call(black list) tnx

  • very very good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • JUS bought one at SGD$39.90 had to use for army. no camera phone.. i think this is good enough..

  • di ba pwedeng lagyan ng camera yan??

  • hmmm...good its my phone i like it so much..:D

  • it is excellent

  • Does that phone include enhanced phonebook? Meaning 2-3 phone numbers per contact

  • Where the USB cable for this. I tried the USB cable for the LG Chocoloate, and it fits but it doesn't work - even after I had installed drivers for all possible LG phones....

  • Just perfect. Solid , easy , great battery , excellent radio ,perfect speaker,no hangs- up and most importand....25euro!!!! Let the others spent 500euro for a phone , i do it better for just 25!

  • ahmmm,can i download wallpapers,pictures and soundto my cellphone?

  • High radiation !!! My head is trying to blast when talking about 2 to 5 minutes.

  • just bought it yesterday...promotion price..simple and user friendly......hope that it worth me buying...and no regret...goodbye my N95!!!

  • Its a good phone for low price, FM is good you need to attach the head phone, key is also good not that hard as some ppl says, slim, smart looking.

  • It doesn't have flashlight. Change your mind, do not buy this phone. I have this one before but I re-sell it. It couldn't cope with my fast messaging.

  • anybody just want to know are this phone come with Flashlight, like Nokia 1202

  • are you sure you were using kp105?...i have one and the battery life is awesome. can last 1 week if call n text only. has sent items menu. FM good too. it's cheap but functional...but you were right about the keypad.

  • Buy Another Brand nalang. I've tried it and i can say, beautiful as it looks but very disappointing. The keypad is hard to press, it's slow and short battery life....the fm is good but not excellent. There's no 'send to many' function. So to the hopeful out there, don't be fooled.

  • well i dont know why i cant text the messaging settings arent working and they suggest i need to reprogram it i just had this phone last month..

  • Buy another brand instead. Texting is a bit slower, the keypad very rigid. I'm sure you'll be disappointed. Meron ako nito binenta ko na. Maganda lang tingan at may radio unlike nokia 1208. Try samsung E1160.

  • it has very good radio

  • this phone is too flimsy i recently bought it and it fell on carpeted surface and now its not coming on

  • does its keypads or texting features is better than a nokia 1208? o mbgal dn 2lad nung kp110? kc im planning to buy this phone. gs2 ko kcng bilis ng sa 1208 ung pgttxt. tnx u do reply.

  • Excellent phone. Top performance , great radio reception, very solid . Great price!!!! onle 24,5euro!!!

  • why this handphone dont have a bluetooth nice handphone if u compare to the others,if got bluetooth can use the song for the ringtone.

  • Yes, It may be that ... But why to put them in "sent" categorie? I use a french version of this phone and I have a special folder for the messages that failed to be send. The manual doesn't explain the meaning of the icons, but I guess others KP series use the same user interface. Thanks

  • Outbox perhaps. (msgs not sent)

  • Nice Phone with basic features... but the vibration doesn't work anymore. QUESTION (for hardcore users!): what is the meaning of the icon representing a letter with a blue arrow facing up? I found it on my sent messages, the othes have a green arrow...

  • How do you save your messages to the OUTBOX? everything goes to the Drafts section.

  • Great Phone but can't us in North America.

  • recently i bought it and it works well.

  • very nice phone,,,,,,,,

  • No.It does not have a camera.

  • the phone is a hot phone it is really good.My dad is getting me it for christmas.Does it have a camera.

  • It's very slim phon and easy to use. battry backup is excelent. good sound quality. nice phon.

  • I like this phone

  • what kind of usb cn be used to transfer or download from internet, coz when i used my friend's LG USB ,it says USB not recognized on diffrent pc. doesn't even have a WAP.cheap price but stylish. i luv the graphics, better than low end nokia units.but im starting to get bored of this phone coz i cant add java apps on it thru usb.

  • In this price range, this is the best available phone. Those who intend to buy a secondhand set, I would suggest them to buy a new KP105. Voice quality is good and keypad is quite soft. It even has FM radio, which other mobiles in the same price range do not offer. For low budget, I would definitely recommend this set.

  • This is sara khan.Infact for Students like me of ku.This set is awsome for low cost pocket Money. But, the bad part od thz set is it's quality of Voice. Voice quality can never compete Nokia Sets.... sara ku.dcs

  • I think that option is not available. I hope they thought about it while in the manufacturing process.

  • I bought it because it's the cheapest one. But the features are not bad, even have FM radio. Quite a simple phone. Easy to use. Battery life is quite good. Sound and speaker excellent. Worth the money.

  • this was my worst phone ever its so boring i was sorry i bougth it i dont advise anybody to buy it if they are looking for a cool phone with entertainment.

  • Very good for a 2nd phone just to throw into your car glove box or tennis bag when you dont want to take your expensive N97 or 5800.

  • How can I introduce a wallpaper to my LG KP105? and more ringtones?

  • yes

  • this doesn't have the send to many function

  • does this phone have a group texting or send to many function?

  • yes i am currently using lg kp105 but the company should provide usb device with the mobile phone. nodoubt, the set looks is awsome and smarty.and, i will recommend to smarty girls to use it and play it like your own set.harris saghir

  • so smart phone.Low price but best quality.Thanks LG

  • we dont have stock of kp105 huhuhu my unty want to buy this

  • Go for LG KP105. its the best compare to Nokia 1208. the fm,the lcd is good. though the keypad is a little bit hard to press but u'll get use to it. the keypad of n1208 will be bloated, u can use kp105 lcd as flashlight coz it has a brighter lcd than 1208. kp105 has brightness and contrast adjustment. u'll never go wrong choosing LG KP 105. i'm from the philippines. "adik sa" cellphone

  • the buttery is awesooooooome ,i even forget when was the last time i charged it !!

  • Does this phone has "sent items" feature?

  • i can till you i used most of the phons and this is my honest review , i mean it this is the best phone for calles and SMS users only , also the battary is really good

  • Outstandng performance comparing to the crap NOKIA 1208,the overall quality of the the product which is the LG KP105 is far more exellent than the NOKIA 1208,and my comment to NOKIA dont make substandard and low quality phone casing including the keys and buttons..im really disgusted on how you make the quality of your products yes its cheaper, but the quality makes it a trash...

  • to Adrian: ANSWER 1:u can hear radio only from the headset ANSWER 2:they keys are hard to press just in the start but then they get easier with time ANSWER 3:yeh it has a delivery report :)

  • does this phone have text to many function?

  • QUESTION 3: Does it have delivery report? (the other 2 questions are in my previous post, just below)

  • Well, when I think of basic phones, first thing that comes in mind is Nokia 1100: resistant, a minimum of 8 days of standby, I like the Snake 2 game :P That's why I compair it to what comes today.. But the design of this LG doesn't compair to it, though ^_^ QUESTION 1: Can the FM Radio be listened on the loudspeaker? QUESTION 2: The keys are hard to press because they are made out of rubber?

  • very nice phone compare nokia 1208.

  • i charge mine for 3 hours...

  • like it,.. but hard keypad

  • the battery cant stop from scrooling! just read the instructions! it says 2hrs charging! u said u charged it for only 1hr...

  • i can not charging full my batterry .when i charging 1 hours and get messages batterry full,and i charging again it aiso run to charging again .i think the batterry can not charging full.Faster......Help me to solve this problem

  • what usb cable is compatible with kp105??? can any one please help me... =) tnx in advance... there are great wallpapers in www.zedge.net

  • Does this phone really support USB? I can't find the port on it

  • does this call have any option for incoming calls barring? I remember that there was such a option in SE K310i, there was an option in Manage calls center that enables you to accept calls only from an specified list. what about this phone?

  • i have lg kp105 and i agree that lg pk105 looks better than nokia 1202 and 1208.i really love my cellphone.if you look at it it's like it do have a camera but it doesn't have i thought it have a GPRS. I REALLY LOVE MY CELLPHONE.

  • i think i made the right choice of buying this phone after comparing this one with other brands with the same range in price. it's a basic phone plus an FM radio that other basic phone dont have. although i want the flashlight feature in the nokia 12**, i can use the light of this phone(LG) as flash light because of it's brightness and you can even set it in power saver to save more battery even the battery has really long life. it's stylish, slim and handy because of it's very light weight. one things i dont like with this phone is that i found it hard to type in the keypad because it is hard to press i mean you have to exert extra effort but you can get used to it.

  • this phone holds up to 100 messages.

  • can any one confirm the message memory of this mobile

  • Very good and modern design phone. Although this is also a basic phone for calls and SMS, the outlook even looks better than those Nokia 1208,1209 or 1202.The ringtone is really loud (Midi format is much sharper than MP3)and the voice quaility is also clear.Battery life can also last for long about 3-5 days. KP105 has the piano shinny surface but personnaly I rather like the normal dull plastic colour.

  • LG sucks bad time guys.....nokia rulez

  • it's up to 480 characters (3/3)

  • salam please any one can tell me about the meseging of this phone?upto how much character this phone can type a messege??pleaseee?

  • best phone amongst the similar price range phones

  • I just bought this simple phone. Original earphone and charger included. Very good and loud. It's key parts (like battery) are made in Korea but assembled in China. It's written on the back inside the phone.

  • yeah it's small & handy

  • is it true that u can download mp3 files on this phone using the lg usb phone cord?

  • oh i see, motorola phones are made in china but do you have an idea how much is the motorola w181?

  • thanks for the reply bogzy! i didnt know that LG is made in korea how about the motorola? where is it made and do you have an idea how much is the moto w181? ive been looking for it in the mall this afternoon and see nothing, i mean its not available.

  • to rancher, "do i have to regret buying lg kp105 instead of motorola w181?" Not to regret! On my own opinion, LG KP105 is much better than Motorola W181 because in the first place I trust most the Korean made phones like LG and Samsung rather than China made phones like Motorola and the rest. Secondly the features are almost similar nothing to ask and finally Korean made phones are more tough than China made phones, that's why I will buy this phone this week and we already own LG KU250 and LG Viewty KU990r.

  • really? mp3 file works on this phone?

  • hi there! i just bought this phone today then i found out about the motorola w181... do i have to regret buying lg kp105 instead of motorola w181. as i have compared the 2 phones, i think motorola has the better features than this lg. i dont have idea regarding the price of moto w181, either is it cheaper than the lg or more expensive... someone answer me please to kill my regression? hehe... well if the moto w181 is more expensive and very far from the price of lg kp105 then i'll go for LG, thank's have a nice day!

  • design cool

  • awsome phone i have download 6 mp3 ringtones on it through my friends lg USB and 4 wallpapers cool FM radio

  • i have this hp but cant figure out how to go to next line when messaging as it only allows space ..anyone hav an idea ?

  • The FAVOURITES is used for storing a shortcut to your most used features. For example, I use calendar most of the time, so in order for me to locate it in a timely manner, I configure the calendar on the favourites by clicking ADD then OK. Then, Voila! I hav e an easier access to it! =)

  • damn phone

  • Usman Mujtaba frm Karachi, Pakistan.. Any 1 would like to tell me whats the sms capacity of this cell phone, how much storage is available and whats the manufacturing of this cell?? according to a local site its price is Rs. 2500 only,

  • yes, it also features handsfree. but u still hav to connect the headset. on the fm mode, find the option to put it in speaker mode. headset is included in the package.

  • Yes i am using this mobile phone. bettry timing is really owesome yar.. it's fantastic. and it's cost is 2600-PRS (Pakistani Rupees) . Fm Quality is perfect. but while using FM we can do nothing els :-( like messaging or playing game like that.

  • I am using this phone,phone is slim and good looking with basic facilties,battery backup more then 4 hour of talk time,good sound and ringing tone and small in size good display and i say its cheap and best for daily use. Regards Nizam

  • I have my own and I like it.It's simple and the battery takes 4-5 days

  • can any one tell me this cellphone cost & its battry timming plzzz

  • Today while choosing a simple functional mobile PHONE, this model attracted me most amongst other display pieces in the shop. What attracted me to purchased this was the looks, the font, the sound, ease of use and the cost. I just have one question, what is the favourite supposed to be used for and how? Thanks for somebody who has the time to respond to this question. Confused old lady

  • it's a simple phone. sturdy and good, especially for military use where they forbid camera phones.

  • Does this set have any message protection code...like all Samsungs have? I mean, I like this set, but just want my messages not to be read by others...so I need password protected message folder. do reply pleaaaaaase !!!

  • Sorry mec:) but you have to attach the headset on the phone.

  • hi to all!! can you tell me if fm radio works without handsfree? the handsfree included in the box? thnks!

  • hi i love that phone and it has some obtion i like it and it easy in used i did not like a lot of obtion shauld be the phone only for phone not for take picture or some thing else

  • it doesn't support browsing but how the java games can be downloaded..ne idea

  • this a beautiful yet cheap phone. i really love this phone the battery last for almost 3days. this is my 5th phone but it really amaze me. i like this really.. although no browsing and downloading.. love this phone really.

  • u can also switch over it to vibrate and ring both....well this phone is excellent according to its price...its figure is too s***.....easy to use

  • just bought it today!! good bye nokia 95,96,k850,iphone...... hello sms nd 65colors!

  • Not bad for the price. Use as a spare definitely, but if you want to do anything more than say hello and goodbey and normal text messaging, then stay away.

  • this phone is not worth the money its has no wap no picture messaging please it is a waste of money

  • It is easy to use and worth the cost. Though the keypads are a little hard to press, but i'll get used to it. I'd still say that i made the right decision =)it's worth in/on the pocket literally and figuratively. =)

  • It is easy to use and worth the cost. Though the keypads are a little hard to press, but i'll get used to it. I'd still say that i made the right decision =)

  • a good budget phone, 5-liner for text messaging. my only complain is the keypad...you have to exert an extra effort to press the keys...maybe i should exercise my thumb, it's very straining...i hope after several use, the keys wouldn't be as tough as what i'm experiencing now.

  • Please update the specs. This unit has also a "Mobile Tracker". If ever you lost the unit, the system would automatically find it and would send updates to the other mobile number that you registered. Cool!

  • Not bad for a cheap phone, but the problem with this phone is that the ringing volume is too low. So i am using it with vibrate mode. I am impressed with the FM radio and the screen.

  • this phone is good,i like to use this kind of phone.

  • What more can you ask for a phone at this price? Basic phone for normal calling and sms use. One drawback is you cannot use the radio or earphones while it is recharging. But since the battery is long-lasting (as it claimed, I haven't timed it yet) you will have to plug it seldom. The plus for this phone are FM radio, up-to-date design, slim, light, good speaker phone, long-life battery, and cheap.

  • It's a good phone considering what it costs. My main issue with it is it cannot keep up with how fast I text! it delays a lot.

  • i hve this phone for about a week. it is just a basic colored phone (call and sms)and i find it easy to use specially browsing through the menu. nice phone. cheap price and very worth it

  • Its 8.0 Megapixel Camera. Lol

  • i had this phone as a spare phone and its nice!.ty

  • Which is the best feature you liked in this mobile?

  • U.S. has this phone as well under a different model number. GSM 900, 1800 has been replaced with 850 and 1900. Everything is the same and only is sold as pre-paid

  • no usb, no customizations. really basic phone. loud ringer, nice sms. keypad is a lil hard to use. takes some time to get used to. again, it's really basic and cheap - good for someone who needs to make calls and send msg's. period. :)
