Is there anywhere that I can get more information on using this phone. All I have ever head is a dumb phone, and there are lots of questions that

I'd say the only good thing about this phone is that it looks good & you can add more space since it does have room for 2 Sim cards. Also, the camera quality isn't good, at all.

I wouldn't recommend it. My mom got that phone and I have a different one but from the same company. Its slow since it can only get 2G & nothing higher unless connected to WiFi & it can't receive MMS since it isn't made like an American phone. If Iwere yyou, I wouldn't get a phone from this company at all only because its slow data, there isn't much space on the phone, it has several, and i mean lots of glitches, & it can't send or receive any MMS.

I'm sorry Chris B. I'm pretty much a moron when it comes to the working of a cell phone. :( That was a gift I purchased for someone, did you sign up for an account to get minutes? Like it works when he's at home for internet but cuz he doesn't have the minutes right now, it doesn't work if he leaves.. sorry that probably doesn't help much but it's all I got.. ;)

I had a similar situation with that phone. The guy at the independent cell phone store unlocked it and added a t-mobile line to the phone. At that time, the phone worked on voice calls and text. However, the picture messages did not work. That was not the major problem.......That phone was unable to connect to the internet. Therefore, it tried to connect the entire time it was powered on. Draining the battery in minutes and overheating when I charge the battery.Please be sure ALL of the functions are working properly before you leave the store!

To be true I don't know but in the other hand most of any new phones that are unlocked will work with almost any carrier worldwide. The thing that I know in particular about this phone is... 1- Intenal memory IS VERY LIMITED even though used to have my own SD micro memory card the stupid phone was always asking for all kind of updates to the point that it got full of crap, what was full of? I'll never know but at some point even for updating the weather could not open the app because "the internal memory is full, please delete some app, pictures or music - all of that was in my SD card- to allow the app to run" 2- The internet "navigator" has not navigation arrows &lt;-- --&gt; you can not get back as you do in your pc (they forgot to include navigational arrows, stupid!!) 3- And the price, the price vs the release date is not that convenient, ther are many new phones and better than this one at cheaper price, even some places like Costco sells unlocked phones already for a fraction of the price. 4- Windows phones? if you love the eternal orb/round thing/circle going around and around this phone will not dissapoint you in any way, with a very basic interface and crappy options in most of all the apps and functions, guaranteed you will love it!.... NOT! (a very quick e.g. [altough the list of cons is quite long vs the cons] , the options for color and appearance as such doesn't exist, pure crap) If besides this you are still want this "phone", just don't forget that "I told you!"

I didn't use this phone ever. I bought it and refund it. So I don't have clear idea about it. Thanks and sorry for that.

thank you all. had seen the phone for a great deal and now it's sold out, temp out of stock. so now looking at different phone, lg 530, not sure if it's newer or older but being an lg would think i'm still good to go. long story short, coming off of some health issues, trying to get by with limited resource's atm, get back on my feet. trying to check it out now, spec's and all so if it's doable, hopefully will still work, and thanks again.

I actually went into a TMo store today before going to the gym, to switch from ATT and check out the $10 internet plan (with the 500 talk for $29/mo). I purposely left my phone in the car, so when they asked for it I said I didn't have it with me, that it was an old Nokia, which later made them scan another cell box for activation. I got so excited - how easy it was, that I didnt even go to the gym but drove back home to config the internet - and WOW! I have a super cheap unlimited 3-f__ken-G!!!!!!!!!!!! I went for a workout right after and now I can listen to internet radio stream, instead of the stupid crap they play at the gym. That sonovab!+ch KELLY - THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!

The other users haven't done their homework. If you get this phone you should definitely root it and install Link2SD (pay for the upgrade, its around $3 and it lets you move all data from apps to the sd card). The only limitations you will have at this point is the size app you want to download. I have around 600mb free on my internal storage, so therefore I can only download apps up to that size and then I can move them to the sd card and they will launch from there. Link2SD is a life saver and rooting this phone is extremely easy compared to other devices. Simply Google search: LG Optimus F3 saferoot.apk. Enjoy! The other users haven't done their homework.

I am beyond frustrated. I just bought this phone after seeing all the answers here & thinking I could just transfer my current pre-paid plan w/o the data plan. I spoke with a supervisor at Verizon. She said there is NO way this phone can be activated w/o a data plan. Verizon is trying to phase these older models out but if you are willing to pay a minimum of $50/mo for the data plan, you can activate it. She said any plan w/o a data plan will not be supported on this phone & she tried numerous ways to get around that to no avail. I don't know that I would have better luck taking it to a Verizon store. Sounded pretty hopeless. Any comments or tips anyone? I am beyond frustrated.

The seller states this phone could be used anywhere in the world that has cell phone companies & towers for their customers to place a call. This is what I understood when I researched this phone from the seller. I also went online to look up the best type of unlocked phone. I needed to know what an unlocked cell phone meant to me not having to buy a new phone every two a more years. It is important to do your research on the type of unlocked cell phone & its features and to purchase a good insurance to cover your purchase. These type cell phones are pretty expensive & you want to protect your investment. I also need to mention not all of the sellers on Amazon has a return policy, so buyer beware of that as well. If you are still uncertain about purchasing this unlocked cell phone, it might be a good time to reach out to the seller and ask questions you can do that right online at Amazon. I also suggest that you go online & look up this particular cell phone. The features do not change because it is an unlocked cell phone. Moreover, it is important that you understand the status/features of an unlocked phone. It's important to know if it operates on both 4G/3G, 4G only or 3G only networks who the cell phone carriers or carrier that you will be getting service tthrough. And, whether or not it can be use with multiple different cell phone carriers. This Samsung Galaxy Note I I I can. Some of these unlocked cell can work on two different cell carriers network, which gives you a lot of options because not under a contract for your unlocked cell phone. I am not an expert, but knowing what that means can help you with your purchase. I hope this helped.

Just buy a new phone because you have clearly wasted your money....That phone will completely die in less than 6 months. Sorry sweetie

I recommend finding a different phone. I almost never had service anywhere when I had this phone. Plus this phone is a piece of junk anyways... No memory and I had to have it replaced by Straight Talk 5 times before I finally gave up and bought a different phone.

I just attached it to my Verizon package. Went into a store and had them activate it with a free sim card and then I worked out a deal with them for a year to what I already pay and the cost of the set up is spread over a couple of months. I read review about everyone elses problems and thought I would just resolve it before I get frustrated. You can use it and other family members or friends that are working around you just need to log on with the password. Nothing really comes for free, so check with your cell phone provider. If it is Verizon like mine, then it is worth. I went into the store and they set the whole thing up for me! I just attached it to my Verizon package.
