LG225 a Good Phone for Short Term Use

My wife and I picked up this LG 225 phone recently while we were temporarily living in Virginia. The phone is good quality but fairly basic. The features work well enough, but if you're used to a higher quality phone with extensive features you will likely be somewhat disappointed in this phone. We like the flip feature because it prevents the buttons from being pressed without needing to lock the keypad.

The phone had decent coverage and the battery pack actually lasted two or three days before we needed to recharge it. This phone was similar to a Samsung model that we used with T-Mobile back home but the quality of the device was somewhat inferior. The screen and display was obviously inferior, but there was still good quality.

We compared this product with some other pre-paid plans and Tracfone seemed to be a better deal. Check coverage before you buy though - when we left the city where we were living we had trouble in several other cities where other friends had decent coverage. Recharging is very easy through the Tracfone website too.
