LG Electronics C1300 - The Little Phone That Couldn't

bymichiman1 Aug 26, 2004
88 Helpfuls 89 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Compact size, great price, decent sized address book
Cons Weak signal - dropped calls and inconsistent connections
Recommended it? No

We all remember the story of the little engine that could, "I think I can... I think I can..." If you're considering the LG Electronics C1300, be advised that you may be about to purchase the little phone that couldn't. No matter how hard this little phone tried, it just couldn't get the job done... Read full review »

There's a reason why some phones are free!

Pros Can make and receive calls usually without many problems.
Cons Dropped calls, clock loses time, ringer volume.
Recommended it? No

I resisted, fought it, claimed there were times I didn't want to be found, didn't want to be one of those people on the phone while driving, but despite my best efforts I had to get a cell phone. They're just too damn convenient and besides, do you realize how hard it is to find a pay phone... Read full review »

Pros Utilitarian quality analog cell phone
Cons Analog ONLY phone, discontinued, poor battery life with little talk time.
Recommended it? No

NOTE: The Nokia 600 series cellular telephones have been discontinued, as that they are Analog and most cellular providers are moving up to TDMA/CDMA (Digital).

How I met this phone
When I first saw the Nokia 636, I thought ?what a nice looking phone?. Of course, this was in 1996, and... Read full review »

Great Basic Phone

byalipoo Mar 22, 2006
13 Helpfuls 14 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Price, size, ease of use.
Cons Very basic in amenities.
Recommended it? Yes

I want to write this review simply to offer a differing view on this phone. For what it clearly offers it does what it is supposed to do. We started our service on 4/17/05 and I have been using my phone since then with nary a problem. In fact, for the last several months, it has been my landline... Read full review »

Cheap, Cheap, Cheap

9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Small and light weight.
Cons Dropped calls, no number view when phone is closed.
Recommended it? No

I paid $100 for this phone through Cingular and realized very early I got ripped off. I use this phone for work and began to hope my clients didn't call me on it. 75% of my calls were dropped and I lost my service every time I turned around. One minute I had a full signal and the next (I did not... Read full review »

Great nearly base-model phone

byautarkic Mar 7, 2005
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros small; nicely shaped; excellent interface; fantastic battery life; quality screen; very...
Cons lots of memos, but rather short in length; no reminders;
Recommended it? Yes

I guess that my experience was different than the previous reviewers'. I've had mine for about half a year now and the only flaw was that it originally had sub-par reception. Around December of '04 LG replaced the antenna on the c1300 and they even sent a new one through the mail to me without it... Read full review »

You get what you pay for

Pros Cheap
Cons Cheap Quality
Recommended it? No

I perched this phone in early Octerber 2006. It did not last me to the end of the year. I know I'm hard on phones, but my old motarola lasted me a year and a half. The LG C1300 is just a cheap phone. I got it for free so I really should not be complaining, but I was really disipointed when only... Read full review »

Cute and Cheap. Emphasis on Cheap.

4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros sleek and lightweight, good ring volume
Cons sound quality is terrible
Recommended it? No

I got my LG phone for free when I re-upped my contract with Cingular. My ancient Nokia was dying, so why not, right?

This phone just goes to show that old credo is true: You get what you pay for.

While this LG model can take the abuse that I put it through - it's so slight in... Read full review »

Pros Cute, small, light weight, cool feautures.
Cons Poor reception, mirror blinds you when light hits it.
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased my LG C1300 when I opened a new 2 year term with cingular, for $49.99. I thought it was very cute. It has a great color screen, easy navigation, very easy to take advantage of all it's great feautures like, it can store 255 contacts on the phone itself, with 7 predefined groups and 3...

Best Phone Ever

3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Simple, no-frills, looks decent, buttons have a good feel, unlike almost all newer phones
Cons none
Recommended it? Yes

For someone who wants a basic, no-frills phone, this is the way to go. I had it without one problem for three years. I flooded it twice and it suffered no water damage or malfunctions. I love it!

The buttons have that substantial feeling that is so lacking from the flimsy new phones like... Read full review »
