I’m a long-time att customer whose old phone went bad. Instead of going to the ATT/ripoff artists, I bought this LG Neon GT365 GoPhone. I swapped my old phone’s sim card into this GoPhone, turned it on and WOW!!! It instantly hooked up with the ATT network and worked perfectly from the beginning. I received an automated text from ATT that informed me of my existing account being credited with the $50 airtime credit!!! When I went to my account at att, I found that my device had been updated to this phone and a note was on my account explaining the new credit that had been added to my account.
As for the phone itself: The camera works perfectly; the cell’s audio is perfect; the bluetooth works perfectly; the slide-out QWERTY keyboard works really well, even with my big, stubby fingers; the phone and its capabilities are very easy to figure out and use – very intuitive; the battery life is exceptionally good – 3 days between charges; the screen is touch with vibration feedback WHEN YOU DIAL and works really well. To top it all off, I put in a 2GB microSD card and now can store a gazillion pics and tunes.
The thing I can’t figure out is the criticism of the battery life that I’ve read in reviews elsewhere. I text with my kids and wife constantly, usually with a picture going or coming; I bluetooth constantly; I make loads of calls a day to/from my customers yet I am only charging this phone every three days or so?!?!? HAH!!! And when this battery starts going bad, I’ll go to the net and pick up a new one for next to nothing – what’s so hard about that?
My only knock would be the unbelievably cheesy battery/back cover. It is a really flimsy, cheap, thin piece of molded plastic that took several careful attempts to snap it in place. That being said, I’ve had no problems with it since. Go figure…
Lastly – I HIGHLY recommend this LG Neon GT365 GoPhone to anybody and everybody! And, FYI, Amazon has the lowest price anywhere! Period! As to the problems someone else reviewing this product had, I have NEVER had a single problem with ANY product that I bought on Amazon that wasn’t quickly and fairly resolved by Amazon or the vendors that sell through them.
I highly recommend the phone AND Amazon.com.

Well, I have to admit that i was very skeptical before recieving this phone. Many people had said this phone was aweful. After a month (give or take) of use, i have found this phone to be WNODERFUL. I have no problems with the battery, and i love the keyboard. The color ( i have a blue one) is absolutly gorgeous!! Amazon was very quick on shipping, and i have no complaints. i have had no problems at all with this phone, and would recomend it to anyone.

I love this phone. I had a samsung black jack and couldn’t get the most out of that phone for many reasons. The LG Neon GT365 cell phone was easier to text from because it had a larger keyboard surface. There haven’t been any accidental redials due to inadvertently pressing a key. The keyboard is hidden under the cover. The faceplate slides to the side to reveal the keyboard.
The only negative that I have to report is with Amazon, not the actual phone. Unfortunately, once you buy 1 phone, you are not allowed to buy anymore. I spent 45 minutes with various Amazon customer support personnel trying to be able to purchase a second phone as a Christmas gift for someone. The Amazon customer service staff (four different people)could not override a software issue that wouldn’t allow another phone to be purchased a few weeks after the first purchase. They even transferred me to their wireless site. Same problem. Alas, I was forced to buy it at Walmart. It’s a great deal but it’s not really widely available for purchase. I referred a friend to the site in order to purchase the phone as gifts and he was able to purchase 2. It’s unclear why I was not allowed to purchase 2, but he was.

I’ve been an AT&T pre-paid user for about ten years because my cell use is fairly low. With the LG Neon/365, I can finally join the 21st Century and access e-mail, messaging, etc. from my phone. Reception and sound are good. It has a better-than-avg camera for a phone, takes a microSD card for easy transfer of pics and files, and is compact. T he speakerphone function works well enough that its can do hands-free duty in the car. Press once to answer, press again for speakerphone. It has Bluetooth, but I see no need for it if the only need is for hands-free use while driving (caveat: my car is fairly quiet). I really like the solid feel and the slider keyboard. Screen res and quality is excellent. Battery life is adequate. Recharges fast. My only complaints: screen visibility in bright sun is poor, and the battery cover is flimsy and not very secure. I do wish that mobile electronics mfrs would standardize on mini-USB ports so I wouldn’t need to carry three different chargers in my glove box.

It took a bit to adjust to the keypad. I formerly had an LG VUE and loved the touch-screen. However, that particular phone malfunctioned multiple times and the screen became unresponsive. The Neon is a great messaging phone. The phone sends and receives pic and video messages much quicker than the VUE (which sometimes didn’t send image files at all.) The camera is fine quality for a cell. The only things I am not crazy about: lack of keypad (unless you slide the phone open) when calling, and no night feature in camera mode (that I can find.) Otherwise, the phone works well, sound quality is good, etc. Good product for the price.
