Question:

How many min. does this phone come with and how does the triple min thing work? I know it should be ovious but I can't see it mentioned on their websi

Answer:

Hi mikobeer, you are right it should be obvious but they don't mentioned it on their website. When I transferred my minutes over online it came up and told me how many old minutes I had and then it came up and told me that I got 30 bonus minutes. Here is the thing I didn't have 10 minutes left I only had just under 9… see more Hi mikobeer, you are right it should be obvious but they don't mentioned it on their website. When I transferred my minutes over online it came up and told me how many old minutes I had and then it came up and told me that I got 30 bonus minutes. Here is the thing I didn't have 10 minutes left I only had just under 9 so I don't actually know how many bonus minutes I got because when I didn't get all of the minutes I was told that I would, I called tracfone and that is when I found out that if you have uner 10 minutes they won't transfer them for you. Don't understand why they should. So I don't know if because I did it online I got some bonus minutes or not. As far as I know you don't get any minutes with the phone. As for the triple minutes whatever card you get (200, 450) etc. you will automatically get triple minutes. I got a 450 minute card from Amazon (seller) is shopcelldeals on Sunday and I got it by regular mail yesterday Wednesay and I really like this company. That is a total of 1350 minutes. The phone cards our cheaper at Amazon.com than everywhere I have looked even Walmart. At Walmart they are 75.99 plus tax. I paid 69.99 plus 4.99 shipping but that is still cheaper than anywhere else and no tax. Total 74.98. With our tax here that is about 7.66 cheaper for me. I know it's not much but now days it all adds up and I save where I can. If you buy a 200 minute card then you will receive 600 minutes. It is a great deal and I am still loving my phone and finding out new things it does almost daily. Not everyone will like it as all things but I am well satified. Even though tracfone said that I don't get my old minutes because they were under 10 I still got 30 minutes so that is still more than I had. If they gave me 10 then they also gave me an extra 20 and if they just gave me 30 bonus minutes then I still got an extra 20 minutes. I hope that this helps. If you have any more questions please ask. Thank you see less Hi mikobeer, you are right it should be obvious but they don't mentioned it on their website.

Question:

i want to know if i buy this phone for 20 bucks dont i need to have to pay it everymonth how im goin to use it i cant understand thanks!

Answer:

You buy a phone card and it adds time to your phone. If you buy a 60 min phone card you will get 180 min (because of the triple min) and have 60 days to use those min. If you don't use the min with in those 60 days you will need to add another card before your time runs out and the unused min will roll over.

Question:

does lg840g have wifi

Answer:

Actually we thought it had wifi and when it was charging us for the minutes we used in our house and we have wifi, we called tracfone to complain. So what they told us was, the wifi is only for the internet. So it kind of has WiFi, just be aware. Its a great phone though.

I no longer envy my daughter's iPhone

Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2013

Verified Purchase

I am a Tracfone fan and had a basic Motorola phone but wanted to be able to access email and the internet when traveling. I liked the fact this one had 3G and WiFi as well as triple minutes for life. It is a well built phone. I already had a USB to micro USB cable and car 12V plug so didn't need to buy one of those. I spent the first couple days playing around with the Browser over my home WiFi (phone not activated yet). I saw on youtube how to download the Opera Mini browser and easily did that. Admittedly the viewing screen for the web is small but it works ok. I set up my gmail easily in Opera Mini and like the interface there. After I activated the phone I set it up on the phone's email app which is also decent.

Call quality is good. Speaker phone works well. i easily dragged and dropped an album onto it. It's an ok for music.

Pictures and videos are grainy but the camera is easy to use and can readily email or text pictures. I liked that the phone will store phone numbers and email addresses for contacts.

Setup thru the tracfone website went well and I got my minutes and days transferred.

I didn't have trouble signing on to WiFi or transferring my old phone number. Sure it uses minutes when on the web via 3G but they don't get sucked right out of the phone as some reviewers implied. But practice your web usage, email, sending pictures on WiFi to get efficient before going 3G.

I had been thinking 'gee I should spend $400-600 then $45 per month for the Walmart iPhone' but now don't feel it is necessary. For a casual user like me, this phone does what I want and I am glad I got it.

Best little phone that isn't an android

Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2014

Verified Purchase

This is the best little phone out there that isn't an android. No, this little baby still runs on a java platform. Therefore, it is still a little limited, but so easy to use. It incorporates the touch interface which operates much like a standard android. Touch response is about 4.5, on a scale of 1-5. Its only real shortcoming is the limited apps it can run, but I don't want my phone junked up with all that mess anyhow. I check in on facebook now and then, which costs you zero minutes if you use the wi-fi function. But even if you use the minutes, it generally uses less than texting a picture, but that depends on how long you stay on and whether you look at pictures while you're there. Picture texting seems to go on the size of the picture, so you can use anywhere between 1-3 credits sending a picture. Balanced out with the other features, this isn't a big deal to me. Triple minutes helps defray the cost and it is way cheaper than any contract phone. Memory is expandable with a micro sd card, up to 32gb, should you wish to keep your music and pictures on it. The camera is so-so, but it's a phone camera, what do you expect.
All around, I'm happy with this little android-that-isn't...and that's coming from someone who has owned an android before. It's so much fun to use and I don't see the need to upgrade for a while. I would highly recommend it.

4/11/14:
Important tip:
I failed to mention in my original review that you should turn Wi-Fi off when out of range of any Wi-Fi signals. The phone will continue to search for the non-existent signal and it will drain the battery in a couple of hours. If you're within range, you can leave Wi-Fi on all day and it won't do this.

LG-840 tremendus improvement over the LG-800!

Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2012

Verified Purchase

I just got my new LG-840 Tracfone. It took me well under ten minutes to activate the new toy. I used the toll-free number on the SERIAL NUMBER card (the RED one) that was included to accomplish the following needed steps:

- Transfer the phone number from the LG-800 to the new LG-840
- Transfer the days-of-service remaining to the new LG-840
- Transfer the minutes remaining to the new LG-840
- Add the "1200 minutes" of time and the one-year of service to the new LG-840 (This number is on an included sheet of paper)
- I also mentioned the "promotion code" of 24572, which was reported to add 250 minutes in a YAHOO USER GROUP, when coupled with a one-year service card. (This may have added more time, but I have not taken the time to do the math. The lady at Tracfone offered no comment or resistance, so...)

The bottom line is that I got more than I had assumed, as follows:

- On the OLD '800 Tracfone, I had 924.80 minutes (High-resolution readout, it seems!) of time remaining, and was set to expire on 8-1-2013.

- On the NEW '840 Tracfone, I now have 2390 minutes of time remaining, and it will expire at the end of September of 2014.

(!!!!!!!!!!!!)

-----> WAY better than I had assumed, in other words.

The unit works a LOT BETTER than the LG-800 that I retired. The wi-fi works nicely. The WEB BROWSER is extremely quick, compared to the LG-800. Also, the web browser on the '800 was always informing me that this was an untrusted site/app, whatever. -No matter if I had just been using this same app, accessing the same web site! I have not seen this at all on the new LG-840, which is really nice. (And, EXPECTED, I must add!)

I REALLY LIKE the responsiveness of the '840's screen! It is about like what the coveted iPhone has, or really close. (And this is GOOD!) The '800's pressure-sensing screen worked, but not as nicely as this one. The '840's screen is of the "capacitive" sensing design; -What this means is that it takes just a light touch to click or drag.

The camera is easy to operate. The LG-840 has a 2 Megapixel camera, where the LG-800 series has a 3 Megapixel still camera. -So, a bit of a step-down, but still just fine for me.

Getting the still pictures and the movies from the camera (cell phone) to the computer was very quick and easy with the '800 phone. It assume that the '840 will do as well! (I just have not tried this, yet. The images DO SHOW UP, when I hook the LG-840 to my iMac with a standard USB cable; The camera shows up like an external hard drive or flash drive.)

I do miss the three mechanical buttons that the '800 had just below the screen. This is a small loss, as the LEDs under the '840's "button area" go OFF (time out, but are still active) as needed, it seems. -But they do come back ON, if one taps the body of the '840 phone, so not much loss there. The one convenience I do miss is the way that the '800's "real buttons" would wake up the phone, so one could press the "unlock" button on the screen. Now, with the '840, one must tap the POWER button on the top of the phone's body. It is entirely possible that NOT having the mechanical buttons is a better design, as if a button is accidentally pressed while the phone is in a pocket, it would allow the screen to light up, but fortunately would not proceed further. (Maybe, maybe NOT...) The button press of the newer '840 is a lot more secure, so I will offer that this is BETTER.

The LG-840's screen is larger than the '800, but not by much. It is bright and easy to read.

All in all, I am EXTREMELY PLEASED with the LG-840.

-Mike-
