LG 3200 / G3200 / VX3200 Reviews

1. Pretty Good

I've had the VX3200 for a few years now, and I haven't had any problems. I've never had to get it repaired. I even dropped it in the toilet once, and still got it to work after. It had been turning on and off on its own, but I let the water drain out and then it worked like new.

This phone is very easy to use, looks nice, and does what I need it to. It wasn't expensive either. My dad got a set of 4 for the family for like $60, I think. I also got a clip, which works fine.

My service is great. With my last phone, I didn't get service in my own house! Now I have it practically all the time. I can't remember losing any calls (on my end), and there's hardly ever a time when someone has trouble hearing me. The sound quality is also great. When I use my boyfriend's phone, I'm always trying to turn up the volume cuz I can't hear anything, but it's all the way up!

I don't know what you guys are talking about with the end button, because I can end a call just by closing my phone. I actually didn't know it did that at first, so I told someone to hold on, closed the phone, and then was surprised when 2 seconds later, they were calling me back.

I wish I could get games, and that I could get ringtones from more than just vtext.com, but that's my only complaint. I was sad that I couldn't use faceplates, but I found out recently that you can. So then aside from personalization with ringtones, this phone is great, and I'm happy with it. I would buy it again, unless there was a version that lets me download ringtones.

I have had the LG VX3200 for almost a month w/ MetroPCS service. No complaints at all. The problems I read about have not occurred with my phone so far (thankfully). It's basically "no frills" but it's great for what you should basically use a phone for, i.e., making and receiving calls.

An excellent phone for the 10 months we have owned it. The speaker and voice are top quality. I haven't experienced any of the problems the others have listed. Battery is getting a little weak but that is easy to replace. Bought a new one after market for $5.99. An excellent minimum frills phone.

6. Excellent Phone

This phone is phenomenally good for the price. Most of the complaints are ill-founded. Reception problems are perhaps 98% of the time because of the SERVICE PROVIDER, people, NOT the phone.

Also.... NO ONE ever admits to the way they mistreat their phones and then they rashly post negative comments about the very phone model they abuse. It's like everyone talking about the "bad drivers" out there. Well, some of us have to be those bad drivers.

Treat your phone with respect and you won't have any problems. And if you use a headset, take it in and out gently, honey. Any other careless way can cause damage that can yes! === do strange things like cause numbers to be dialed.

Once again, numbnuts --- treat your phones as small computers, not as toys.

7. Reception

Tampa, Fl area. I have a LG VX3200 from Alltell. Impossible to converse without loosing call 100% of the time. Customer service promised to help by calling to my cell, but never did. The phone was mailed to me, however they will not send a new phone and said the problem must have occured within the first 15 days of receiving and using it. Now they tell me to take the phone to the store where I originally signed up for Alltell about 3 years ago and they would check it and "might" lend me a replacement while my defective phone is sent for repair. I actually received 2 new phones when I upgraded and added an additional number for my dad. No problems with one of the phones other than a dropped call occasionally. Customer service told me that if I am not satisifed with Alltell then I could pay like $2XX dollars and cancel my service. Oh yeah, most of the dropped calls on the bad phone are long distance and not local. Horrible company!!!

8. Makes Calls By Itself

5 Jul 2005 by Kuma

60%6out of 10

In addition to these problems, this phone will make calls by itself (while headseat is in and while car is running). These are call which should never be made---and of course they count against the owner. Usually the calls are to the last number called. I have had phone replaced and still does it. Yes, it is calling on its own when the cover is closed and the headset is plugged in. VZ can't figure it out. Try another phone.

WHo would buy a blue phone. My dad bought it for me and it stinks. Id done nothing but make calls. And it is BLUE! I do like the tones it has and the fact it's small.

10. Don't expect much

I've had it for about 5 months now and I have noticed some problems. For one, the alarms don't always go off when you set them to.... It loses calls constantly.... It has started to squeak a little when it is opened.......

And you should really not get this phone. Never talk on it when it's sprinkling a bit outside. My phone shut itself off. I wasn't even wet inside and now the whole screen display is messed up. It's all blotted out and the pixels are messed up all over the place. It will still make calls... you just can't SEE anything on the screen except when it first starts up and says 'Verizon'
If you buy this phone, don't expect much.
