  • This unfortunately is a really bad phone,Nokia make much better low end phones. The screen is terrible,really low resolution,you get a better screen on a Nokia of the same price. The camera is useless,it's so bad,you wont be able to use it for anything.The internet/gprs had trouble loading facebook. LG really made a stinker with this one!

  • Can anyone tell me how to put my speakerphone on for this phone please?

  • When my phone rings,I answer it,but the person I am speaking to cannot hear me.I can hear them though.Please help.

  • Will this phone work in Uk if I buy a local sim card? GJ

  • This phone is now down to £11 at TJ Hughes which makes it excellent value for money. the best thing for me is the really loud ( if desired) ringtone

  • hi ,lg kp 175 got mp4? pls tell me thank you.

  • I have the same problem even after doing a reset..

  • This phone is okay for the price. One problem for me is the web browser is missing all the sign on settings ('invalid settings' can anyone help?) or know where I can go for help.

  • good phone

  • LG KP175 is much more better than KP170. Indeed, the card slot of Micro SD is available and expandable up to 4Gb. The other features are the same as KP170. The price is 40 US dollar in Indonesia.

  • can you change the number of rings before the answerphone kicks in?

  • Does the KP170 have abuilt in music player and if so what are the extensions???

  • The LG KP170 is a great mobile phone for those who haven't got a fortune to spend. I have this phone and many times in the past people have commented on how expensive my phone looks, with it's sleek design and how light it is. Great and easy to use OS, sometimes a bit slow but apart from that it is really good. My rating; 8.5/10 for classic style ("chocolate" or "candybar") phones price range; 1.5/10 (Less than NZ$100, around £40-£60)

  • anyone with manual for the above phone

  • weellll, it's a good phone alright, the internet works like a dream on it, only bad point is the lack of a memory card slott :L

  • bought LG KP175. Sounds great, very slim, handy. vibration effect superb.. However, doesn't support much resolution.

  • what things persuaded you to buy this phone? are you getting all you need from it like you thought at first?

  • Besides the problem I wrote below, I think this is good phone for the price. nice loud sound, good tft lcd, simple and cute design, good radio (but still I don't understand why LG didn't made it like wireless fm series) hard keypad (accepted), micro sd slot, and it has 'inner beauty' if u know what i mean.. I bought it few weeks ago. In indonesia it named KP175.

  • I have trouble when it play some mp3 files. there are few part of the music (at beginning)had lost so the music begin played not from 'beginning' (??????) I'm sorry, it' s hard to explain and my english is so bad so I hope someone understand and could help me. note: just some of mp3 files that have trouble.

  • got the phone several months ago but cant send photos anyone help me with this

  • ahh, its on t mobile for �14

  • actually it is about that long. still doesnt make up for being a totally worthless peice of crap!

  • Battery is not best option. 4 days only is not good.

  • should this phone ask you to confirm language, time and date format everytime you turn it on?

  • KP170 have a memory card

  • This phone will last me more than two weeks, the average call, I bought it

  • Nice phone with a big display, but a couple of niggles. Buttons can be hard to press and centre "ok" button too small for my little fat fingers. Switching predictive text on and off is hit-and-miss and seems to do it itself when it likes! Cannot remove existing ringtones and replace with new ones.

  • i can not send messege some one hlep me please dont know how to set thank you

  • Does it really have a standby time of 100 hours? I an not sure about that.

  • Hi, i bought this phone a couple of days ago for a very acceptable price of �19.59. I am using it as a replacement becuase my Sony Ericsson died on me. I have found that is little phone is a very tidy little bit of equipment. Its very slim and designed very well so it fits perfectly in any pocket. The camera isnt brilliant as expected for a VGA but it is good enough for everyday photos. You can get about 100 pics at max resolution and up to 700 at bare minimum. Perfectly good i found. The internal memory (4MB) is a little small and some is already taken up by the files already on the phone so not great. There is also no way to expand the memory which is a down side.It is designed as a basic phone however so this doesnt matter. Battery is good. I charged it when i got it and have been using it continuously since. Still 2 out of 3 blocks left. This phone incorporates little features such as being able to turn of backlights induvidulay which is very helpful. Many others are included. The theme is not great to look at but it works all the same. The bluetooth is relatively fast and the screen is clear and bright. The interface is simple but not as easy as some other fones to navigate. Signal seems to be good unlike some other reviews. Internet runs at 40kbps on average which is fast enough. eBuddy is availiable for this phone also. One downside to this phone is that texting and typing on the keypad is noisy and it clicks quite a bit. But thats the only real problem i can find with it. a decent phone at a good price. :D

  • Well i bought tis mobile a few days back[LG KP175]......The phone is good overall. Affordable, drop dead rates. But 4 somebody who has already gotten used 2 nokia, the phone operations ll be hell. Navigation is really not exactly easy 2 be honest. And dont even ask abt texting. The camera in this mobile is very basic, a poor VGA cam with no zoom. But de music player is really good. comes along with speaker, really loud with a bass player. Tis KP175 comes wit FM actually. There's voice & FM recording.One exceptionally good thing abt LG is de phone reception is excellent. Am able 2 get good signal in tis mobile then my prev phones(nokia & moto). watz more? the box includes a data cable as well a 1GB memory card. Am unsure abt the battery life since i got it a few days back...... WARNING: the music player and FM ll stop if the phone is switched back to home mode. A major drawback.

  • Does this do memo's, I am after a simple phone that does memo's

  • This phone dont have radio ;(

  • I think LG KP175 is better, it's KP170 with FM Radio!!

  • the music is on the sounds otherwise its a good phone

  • Lg contacting peeople ha ha ha ha ha

  • I have got it.it is al right.I got from argos.

  • Reception is substandard... which cave do you stay? Handbook is elementary and incomplete... You dont need a handbook to understand its functions. You never had nokia before? My opinion, this is a good phone, my primary one for calls and music. I use my Samsung Omnia for internet needs :) Peace

  • very simple mobile and easy for use,slim,camera is ok,if u want simple mobile this is just right for you :)))

  • I bought this just now and... Its impressive for its price! I use it as secondary phone and I have been a Nokia user for a very long time, and like Nokia phones, forget the manuals, you can use it straight out of the box.

  • when u call,just press ok button and that is all,then u activate speakers :)

  • Hi could you tell me how to use the loud speaker?

  • i just bye this phone today,very good dizain,slim,light,good loud speaker,camera is ok,i recomendet this mobile to everyone,very easy for use,good job lg :)

  • just received today simple to use a great bargain for under 20 quid

  • T-mobile under �20! I don't know why people complain about this phone! It is slim, has positive buttons, bluetooth, camera, internet. If you want an all singing all dancing phone buy a top spec one for more money!

  • does anyone know how to put songs onto this phone ? i have a usb cable with it. thanks

  • Thats for the kp130 not the kp170.

  • i personally dont think it is crap. It is good!!!! buy it !!!!

  • Yes I have done all the same things, the only way I found to transfer my photo's was to email them from the phone to my computer

  • can anyone tell me why i can hear it ring when i make a call

  • How do I get windows to recognise KP170? Ihave two computers and it doesn't work on either. I have tried LG and T- mobile websites, downloaded LG's Phone manager, bought a Data Transfer Cable, all to no avail. Help

  • Forget what the drones have said. DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE! Reception is substandard but in the strongest signal areas; Logic of the software is weird; Handbook is elementary and incomplete; LG should compensate me for using this phone! Battery life / recharging time is good though so you can weep for looonnng time. It is light and feels good to carry. I could go on but buy at your peril. Test other handsets first if you can.

  • Love the phone but can't understand what some of the icons are. No record of them in hand book. Also Ihave the voicemail icon on continuously even when I have deleted all voicemails. Can anyone help?

  • In Fonehouse is �15

  • I bought this phone for less than �20. It's a remarkably good phone all things considered. The bluetooth capability was the reason that I personally bought it. The phone has a built in web browser and basic vga camera. All in all it's a superb little phone that does everything (and more) that most people would need.

  • i think i had the same problem with a previous phone. I had to go to the sit of my service provider (t-moblie) and install the setting from there. it worked thereafter! good luck.

  • this phone is crap

  • Awsome you can get it from orange website for �19.99

  • hi everyone,is this phone have call reject or call filtring spec?i mean i can block some number so they cant call me?thanks
