LG 420G Review and My TracFone Experience

[BertS]

I tried, but could not find that particular driver. Any way you could add it as an attachment or email it to me?

The LG600 has DMFL and the LG420 does not.

What about PC connectivity via bluetooth or USB? I am talking about BT for PC connectivity, not headsets.

Tracfone website has the DMFL for free and free 3 day fedex! You get 20 bonus mins i believe to. This is limited and for $20 shipped is such a good deal on this. I just had to order one.

On TF's website: [at post time--Gift Card no longer available]
LG 420G $19.99 LIMITED TIME OFFER! While supplies last
Includes a $10.00 Gift Card Certificate
Includes Double Minutes for Life FREE!

With the $10 Gift Card, this is an even better deal than I got a month ago...don't forget to use that $3 discount code posted in other threads to make it even sweeter...just be aware that they will most likely send you a T-Mobile SIM if T-Mo has service in your area...

For the price, I'm liking this phone more & more...I've recently played with "Airplane Mode"...if you're not flying, but just don't want to receive calls but want to call out occasionally & conserve battery life, this is quicker & more convenient than turning on & off (rebooting) the phone. It's just two clicks away using the directional buttons surrounding the main menu button. Press "right" once to reveal the ringer presets, then select the airplane icon, just right of the "outside" icon (which I leave it on when I want to hear an incoming ring).

It will turn off all the radios, but allow access to all other menus & functions..."poor man's smart phone." You can selectively still turn on Bluetooth to transfer a file to another device--and turn it off when finished. If you turn off the phone in Airplane Mode, it remembers when you reboot, prompting whether to resume that state or not...slick.

For those transferring files over BT...with my Mac Mini, it works both ways--initiating the xfer from either the PC or the phone...and it only shows a "connected" status when it's actually transferring the file (probably to save battery--it's not like a keyboard or mouse that need constant communication). After you've paired the two, Just be sure to configure both the phone and the PC to "always accept connection" with the respective device. This is with Mac OS X 10.6.4 with no extra software.

Now if some who've purchased 3rd-party car chargers could report on their performance...

What zip code did you see this at? I punched in mine and a few others and see the DMFL but not the $10 gift card.

Try using 76825, it is an At&t only area.

Closest I see on any GSM area is an LG410 refurb for $19.99 w/DMFL and a 60 minute card.

Already punched in AT&T zips-no. Tried this one also-no. Punched in about 15 zips including TMOB,CDMA/ATT combo,TMOB/ATT combo. All of them have the DMFL LG 420g but still don't see one with the $10 giftcard.

This may be helpful (scroll to the bottom for speciffic carrier Zip codes and live links to the different Tracfone/Net10 Market order pages). Zips apply to corresponding Net10 markets, which are fewer than Tracfone..

Sorry, Tim...it was up in red letters when I posted Friday early afternoon for Boston area zips, but it's gone now. I suspect it may have been a fluke and was corrected by the time you saw my post. I thought it was too good to be true. Or TF really is serious when they say "LIMITED TIME OFFER! While supplies last"...those words are gone too.

I saw it this morning (7/23) but is gone now.

[Tracfancier]

It`s not showing in any of their 6 markets.

Here's the cached page http://webcache.googleusercontent.co...ient=firefox-a

Back in the day we could continue to order from the cached pages.........don't think it's possible now. Especially when I see how this offer is made.

If they would let me order I would try just for .......and grins.....but I'm on a list.

[One2gofst]

That cached page is available on the current page as of right now. However, it too does not come with the $10 credit that the posted who pointed out the deal mentioned.
