Sure it had no bells and whistles, but it had the features that I used everyday. It had alarms, calendar, and a calculator which I used on a regular basis. Had no problems with reception or charging. This replaced my old Motorolla Talkabout which I had problems with charging-God, I hated that phone. After I upgraded to something newer, I had this one hooked up for my 8 year old son. It was simple for him to use, and is still in use by giving it to a friend who didn't have a cell after my son got a new phone for his birthday.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=272 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=272&r=21448#review21448 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=272&r=21448#review21448 Thu, 01 Feb 2007 08:36:30 GMT <p><i>floydb_1982 submitted this review of the LG VX-3100 / 3100A / TM250:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>0</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I had the LG VX-3100 and it was the worst piece of crap I have ever used in my life. Just to get a signal you had to practially lean your whole body up against the cell tower just for it to find signal. Using it in a trailer park is the worst for this phone. U see the minute you drive into a trailer park the signal goes 100% dead on the phone. Even if you point the dam thing at a cell tower from a cross the street it can't seem to get any signal from it all for a few minutes but even then it is only like 2 to 3 bars at max. The LG VX-3100 is by far the most worthless cell phone in the world. Don't buy this unless you live on top of a cell tower because is mostly the only you will be able to get a cell signal. Also even if your driving and you drive by a cell tower it most of time won't find the signal. I lost the dam thing at the library at one time and I'm so glad it happened.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=272 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=272&r=20369#review20369 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=272&r=20369#review20369 Wed, 06 Dec 2006 19:43:05 GMT <p><i>eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee submitted this review of the LG VX-3100 / 3100A / TM250:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Pros:<br />*Sub-par battery life <br />*Doesn't break too easily<br /><br /><br /><br />Cons:<br />*Speaker reception is terrible<br />*Has none of the standard features that most all phones do nowadays<br />*Black and white display...actually more like dark green and black<br />*Gets scratched VERY easily<br />*Cannot download most ring tones, games<br />*Cannot download any wallpapers<br />*Text messages have very limited space compared to most other phones<br /><br /><br /><br />Overall this phone is a big disappointment, even for those who don't want all the gimmicks and just want to talk, it's still unacceptably poor quality.

It's tiny--one of the smallest ever made. It doesn't have a camera (I think phone cameras are silly and over-hyped, anyway), or a color screen, but the screen is very, very bright and visible in the sun. Text messaging is as easy as it is on most other phones. <br /><br />Others have complained about their reception, but that's generally an issue with the service provider rather than the phone. I had Verizon, and my reception was always perfect (I live in Los Angeles, for what it's worth).<br /><br />The earpiece volume is excellent. Very, very loud. <br /><br />The battery lasted forever--another benefit of having a simple phone without all the childish bells and whistles.<br /><br />I dropped the phone many, many times, and it kept on tickin'. Unfortunately, I lost it recently after about three years of excellent service. Luckily, I have a friend with the same phone and she's giving me hers (she has the misguided need to "upgrade").<br /><br />Again, the size was and is almost unparalleled; the only phone that comes to mind is the new Pantech. This is a tiny phone, folks. It's unfortunate that it was discontinued in favor of larger, bulkier phones with more gimmicks that most people stop using after the first week, anyway.<br /><br />If you can get your hands on one, try it out.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=272 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=272&r=18489#review18489 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=272&r=18489#review18489 Sun, 27 Aug 2006 07:10:46 GMT <p><i>cyberneticknight submitted this review of the LG VX-3100 / 3100A / TM250:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>0</b> (out of 5)</p><p>i had the phone for a bout two years (because it was free) i hated it the battery doesn't last that long and reception came in as much as our government makes sense. it finally died after my ex dropped it in water at 6 flags. after that i thought to give it a proper barrial and 2 M80's later it was finally at rest with its LG brethren of crap</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=272 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=272&r=17474#review17474 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=272&r=17474#review17474 Tue, 04 Jul 2006 18:57:05 GMT <p><i>sammy507 submitted this review of the LG VX-3100 / 3100A / TM250:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I've had this phone for over two years and now I'm getting a V325. I really liked this phone, it was a good size, easy to fit into my pocket or purse. It wasn't fancy, but I didn't really need it to be either. It was easy to use and easy to navigate and I thought the ringtones were nice, even if they got old after a while. The phone did tend to get hot after talking for a while, but the battery life was long and the phone suited me just fine. It's a great phone for someone who just wants to use their phone to talk instead of for everyday life functioning.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=272 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=272&r=14115#review14115 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=272&r=14115#review14115 Wed, 28 Dec 2005 01:28:12 GMT <p><i>lstnks submitted this review of the LG VX-3100 / 3100A / TM250:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This is a good phone...it is easy to use...simple...i have never had any problems with this phone...would def recomend this phone to anybody!!!</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=272 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=272&r=13233#review13233 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=272&r=13233#review13233 Mon, 21 Nov 2005 02:01:16 GMT <p><i>blumajik submitted this review of the LG VX-3100 / 3100A / TM250:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>0</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I had this phone a long long time ago, and never wroote a review for it. Let me say one thing. IT SUCKS!! It barely ever gets reception, and when it does, it gets a piss ant of a signal and then dropps calls. Ringotnes are nice and low so you can't hear them and the only good ringtone it has is the holkey plokey which isnt even the real thing! When it actually has service to make a call, it gets so hot it feals like it will ignite and kill me. <br /><br />Conclusion:<br /><br />THis phone is CRAP CRAP CRAP!</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=272 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=272&r=12582#review12582 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=272&r=12582#review12582 Tue, 18 Oct 2005 03:21:55 GMT <p><i>Katiek710 submitted this review of the LG VX-3100 / 3100A / TM250:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This is definitely not one of those snazzy phones. No speakerphone, camera, or even a color screen. However, it would be a great phone for someone who doesn't use it alot, or is someone's first phone.

Easily placed in almost any pocket with no bulge and no trouble. <br /><br />Reception could be better but is OK all but the most "outback" of Verizon network areas. It doesn't have an extendable antenna -- and that would probably make the difference. In an old house with wire-backed lathe-&amp;-plaster walls the reception gets shot down very quickly, which is a drag.<br /><br />Otherwise the phone is great. And its size is so perfect that I won't switch it unless I can find another that is as finely designed.<br /><br />Pros: size! and it works in most Verizon situations just fine.<br /><br />Cons: it turns itself off about once every 4 to 6 weeks. Sometimes requires a hard reboot (remove the battery and replace) to get it come back on. <br /><br />Reception is fine. Ringer is loud enough. Ringtones are for the kiddies. This phone is for grown ups.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=272 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=272&r=7423#review7423 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=272&r=7423#review7423 Sat, 25 Dec 2004 12:27:35 GMT <p><i>michiganlake33 submitted this review of the LG VX-3100 / 3100A / TM250:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I've had this phone for over a year now.

Cons include : It gets horrible reception. It breaks all the time. It is easy to loose. They need to take this phone off the market. Verizon was really smart in giving this phone for free because who ever owns it will have to replace it ALL THE TIME!!!!!! That means money in their pockets.

Terrible reception, ringtones are practically inaudible. Generally useless unless you need to defend yourself from rabid dogs, then you can probably throw it at them while you're running away. However, I doubt they'd even give it a second glance, which is what I should have had the foresight to do when choosing a starter cell phone. Unfortunately, my bank account ended up making the decision, and I bought this one. <br /><br />It's really durable, though. I accidentally placed it into a cup of water while fighting my way through rush-hour traffic on the 405, and didn't realize it until I had made my exit. Pulled it out, took the battery off and let it dry....practically good as new. Which isn't really saying much, but hey. It has fallen out of my pocket onto a hard ceramic and concrete floor numerous times when I was a server at a restaurant, people kicked it around and I finally found it later on and it hadn't broken, so as one reviewer suggested maybe LG planned on having people throw it in frustration, so they made it extra-cushy. I'm upgrading to a phone that was practically free, and it honestly feels like I'm being released from prison. Don't get this unless you hate someone and want unspeakably cruel revenge...then buy it for them.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=272 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=272&r=6440#review6440 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=272&r=6440#review6440 Wed, 03 Nov 2004 19:53:23 GMT <p><i>NitinS submitted this review of the LG VX-3100 / 3100A / TM250:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>If you're looking for a phone just for a phone, this is the choice...<br /><br />PROS:<br />User Interface<br />Simple, Durable Design<br />Ive dropped it 3 times on pavement and still no scratches!<br />Very good voice quality and reception.<br />HAS BLACKJACK!!<br /><br />CONS:<br />No Color Screen<br />No Voice Dialing<br />No Speakerphone<br />Only 200 phone book entries.<br /><br />If you're looking for a simple, durable phone, this is your perfect phone...DO NOT buy this phone if you want extraneous features like camera, etc.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=272 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=272&r=5405#review5405 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=272&r=5405#review5405 Mon, 30 Aug 2004 19:07:18 GMT <p><i>kellig submitted this review of the LG VX-3100 / 3100A / TM250:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This is the most horrible phone I have ever owned!
