LG 200c Straight Talk Wireless

Monday, January 4th, 2010

The New Straight Talk LG 200c Prepaid Wireless Phone is a very Basic Clam shell folding phone.


This is one of the most basic flip phones made. It has a few simple functions like a calculator, alarm clock but it really is just a phone. You can easily text and talk. I do use the clock all the time as my watch. The calculator works well also.

I like this phone

I have been using this same LG 200c model of phone from Net10 for the last two years. I have dropped it hundreds of times, and it still keeps working. It is easy to use, fits well in my pocket and it never messes up. The ringer stays at the level I set it.

No External Keys

I really like the fact that there are no buttons on the outside of the phone. It never accidentally makes calls in my pocket. It does not have a camera or anything else. I also have a Verizon phone that has external buttons to turn on the camera and to adjust the ringer. I will be sitting down and if I move just wrong it starts taking pictures.

If all you want is a phone

This is the phone for you. From Straight Talk you will pay $30 for the LG 200c and then if you get the unlimited card that will be an extra $45 or if you get the 1000 minute card it will be an extra $30.

Motorola Droid and Iphone

I have friends with the Droid and the Iphone and Blackberries. They are always running out of battery. Most of them have bought a charger for their car so if they run out of charge they can plug in. Many of these phones will barely make it a day on a charge.

They always seem to be losing them, getting them stolen or breaking them. Most of them are paying $70 to $150 a month on their phones.

Straight Talk LG 200c Battery Life

The Lg 200c has the best battery life of any phone I have had. I easily get a week out of a charge. This will change if you use your phone a lot. I use 150 to 250 minutes a month. The more you use your phone the faster they drain the battery.

If you just want a cell phone to talk and text the LG 200c is a very good choice.

If you want to check your email or search the internet on your phone the Straight Talk LG 200c is not for you. This is a basic phone. Talk and Text, that is pretty much it.
