She told me to wait until she finished asking a question to answer, a non answer IS a WRONG answer and asking a question is a WRONG answer, and etc. <br />First, it was hard to understand anything she said while she was asking a question.<br />Second, she would STOP talking RANDOMLY in the middle of a question, making me think she was done, then would get irate when I'd tried to answer.<br />These people are not providing this (So-Called) Service for Free. They're getting paid PAID by our Government. Just like 99% of Websites.<br />Now I'm supposed to take a "SafeLink Survey". One question is "How would you describe your SAFELINK Phone?<br />1) Bring your own Phone (SafeLink SIM)<br />2) SafeLink smartphone (e.g., iphone, android, etc)<br />I don't know how to answer that one.<br />I'm sure the rest of the questions are going to be just as hard to answer. Maybe (Rather) Most Likely they're meant to be. IF no one can complete the Survey... Then there's no complaints. Remember... a Non Answer is a WRONG Answer, or if someone can't answer, they can't complete the Survey. It gives SafeLink a higher rating. It's a Fake Rating.kingo fassholeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14639697888959597794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677003350229363498.post-87643363064299783562018-05-15T18:41:54.469-05:002018-05-15T18:41:54.469-05:00Here's a nagging issue.

Other time the don't work at all and other times I can't even pick up the phone without activating something else and losing an incoming call. Needless to say, I can't carry it with me. Not having a Phone on me at all times doesn't bother me. It irks my wife and cardiologist.<br />Here's another minor issue. Can't shut off the GPS. Not that it matters 'cause I can't carry the bloody Phone with me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677003350229363498.post-34701622327596218982017-10-06T21:53:04.164-05:002017-10-06T21:53:04.164-05:00Why don't you tell the truth about these (LG 3...Why don't you tell the truth about these (LG 305C) Phones. If the Phone receives a Media Message, be VERY CAREFUL lifting the Phone up, as it will LOSE said same if the Screen is Brushed or Touched. Any Button on the Sides will perform the same Function.<br />I looked everywhere in that Phone, but couldn't find it.<br />LG's RESPONSE;<br />"Thank you for contacting LG Email Service.<br /><br />We know having a working phone is truly important nowadays as it is really important part of our daily lives. But don't worry, we are here to help you out and get the issue rectified.<br /><br />In response to your concern, please consider performing a factory reset on your device and see if this would correct the issue that occurred. But by doing so, it will erase everything on your phone such as your contacts, pictures, music, applications and settings. Resetting the operating system will clear any bugs that have developed and restore the software to factory standard. Kindly follow the steps below:<br /><br />1 Turn the phone off.<br />2 Press and hold the following keys at the same time: Volume Down Key + Power/Lock Key.<br />3 Release the Power/Lock Key only when the LG logo is displayed, then immediately press and hold the Power/ Lock Key again.<br />4 Release all keys when the Factory hard reset screen is displayed.<br />5 Press the Volume Keys to highlight Yes, then press the Power/Lock Key to continue.<br />6 Press the Volume Keys to highlight Yes, then press the Power/Lock Key once more to confirm.<br />7 Your device will perform a factory reset.<br /><br />Should you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us via Email, Live Chat, or Phone by calling 1-800-793-8896. For any concern about phone, tablets and headsets repair request you can visit WWW.LGMOBILEREPAIR.COM".<br />Sooooo, I'll lose EVERYTHING and never know WHAT the Message was. Could it have been a Weather, Amber or Other Emergency Alert?<br />I've complained about the way this Phone works since I got it. Some days it works fine. Some days the On Screen and Side Buttons barely work and some days the on Screen and Side Buttons are over Sensitive.<br />I'd like to replace it for a REAL Working Phone and run this LG 305C through a Wood chipper, put the pieces in a Baggie and send it to them. I can't afford to do that, so I don't use it.<br />Because the Problems I have with it, would I even trust IT to call LG? I think not. kingo fassholeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14639697888959597794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677003350229363498.post-84616191013395777252017-10-06T10:37:17.921-05:002017-10-06T10:37:17.921-05:00Is there a speaker function on the LG 305C?

I rarely can answer my phone - I swipe, I tap, I swoosh, I pound, fast or slow, I use my finger, my elbow, a stylus, prayer - I can hardly answer it. It also goes to voicemail instead of even ringing. I can't get a call even when I am holding it, waiting for it....waiting for it. Weirdest thing is that the camera portion does the opposite of what I choose. Want to take a photo - sorry - it only does negative mode, which I can change over and over to color but it won't hold. Touch sepia - and it takes it in blue, choose blue and you get - sepia! Oh just remembered - the eeriest thing it does is when I even reach toward it, it will jump to another screen or just randomly choose some icon or flip to the Internet or make a call to someone it once knew - I think it is possessed. I bought it from Walmart for a ridiculous price of $30 (my brother bought one for $10) and the number had very recently belonged to two other people whose collection calls I get all the time. I think it was an unfixed, unlabeled reconditioned junker that they stuck in a new package. I also think it is only handy for target practice.
