LG 200C Tracfone Review
HAC M4-Rated Flip Phone
Search This Site:
The LG 200C Tracfone is a smart stylish compact basic phone with a couple of nice features such as an HAC M4 rating. Though it’s a basic phone, it is nice to look at, and it goes well with other accessories.
Hearing Aid Compatibility
HAC M4 Rating
The LG 200C is one of the only Tracfones with a hearing aid compatible (HAC) rating of M4. Some of the other Tracfones have been tested and are rated M3, but M4 is better. So if that’s something you are looking for, you can get a good deal over here --> Going back to . . .
The Basics
SizeThe LG 200C Tracfone measures 87mm x 47mm x 20.5mm. That’s equivalent to 3.42 x 1.85 x 0.81 inches. WeightIt weighs just 2.82 ounces, one of the lighter phones out there.Battery lifeTalk time on the lithium–ion battery is only 2.5 hours, not that you care since you’re unlikely to spend two and a half hours at a time on a prepaid cell phone. The more important standby time is 250 hour – over ten days, which is pretty good.AccessoriesThe only “accessories” included are the battery and phone charger. You can buy a universal accessory kit for a few dollars more or look for a package deal.RatesSingle Rate for every call: Local, long distance, roaming and international long distance included. Each minute of a phone call made with your LG 200C Tracfone uses up one unit of airtime.Text messagingOf course you can send and receive text messages which cost 0.33 units each.
Voicemail etc.
While you’re checking your inbox you can also check your voicemail to clear out those messages from calls you didn’t pick up once you checked your . . . Caller IDThis now essential feature saves you time by not having to ask who is calling. It’s a basic feature but important when you’re using a prepaid phone as it helps keep to quick calls under one minute.Call waitingYes you can still juggle those calls from people just dying to talk to you.
Multi-language supportThis could come in handy if you prefer Spanish or know someone who does. Check out the LG 200C Tracfone manual (pdf) to figure out the details.GamesAlways a good thing to have something to do when stuck in some line.Phonebook with up to 300 entriesThe LG 200C Tracfone allow your to store 300 entries in the phonebook. Some newer Tracfones allow 500 entries if that’s important to you.RingtonesThe phone comes with a few basic ringtones.Clock with alarmThis comes in handy when you’re traveling and too tired to bother dealing clock radio in the hotel room.Calculator and tip converterAh yes. The tip converter comes in handy. You don’t want to stiff your server, but you don’t have to be the overly-generous sucker either. Hands-free speakerphoneNot really useful as a hands-free for the car as it’s usually too noisy, but good for wishing Happy Birthday all togetherVibrate alertI set mine to Vibrate THEN Ring to minimize disturbance but still make sure I don’t miss a call.And actually I think I hear the phone ringing, but . . . thanks for reading this review!
