Tracfone LG 290c is a slide-style phone with slider mechanism that feels solid and durable. All phone develop really feels that way and that is some thing that satisfies the users probably the most. It functions a slide-out, standard 12-key numeric keypad, as well as 4 shortcut keys for composing a text message, viewing pictures, camera and calendar. Its size of 4.09 inches by 1.94 inches by 0.63inches makes just enough space for the large screen that is in reality bigger from the screens of most phones offered by TracFone, Net10, or Straight Talk. Its weight of 4.1 ounces make this telephone really feel slightly heavier but at the same time compact so it is not all for bad. The display on the screen has not that much problem with the distortion when viewed from the side as LG 600G for instance, but is rather bright and sharp. And what may be a very essential detail about LG 290c design for some users is that there is no word “TracFone” anyplace on the outside of the telephone so you can't tell it is a prepaid telephone.

LG 290c provides features as mobile Internet service. Apart from restricted web access to only the TracFone mobile web, you can access the WAP versions of the sites as espn.com or Facebook, amongst others, in the event you go to web browser, select choices and enter the URL. Still, be aware that this privilege can deduct the substantial amount of one's airtime.

Nevertheless, some users don't want to waste their minutes on the Internet browsing but still accidentally press the browser shortcut and also the undesirable happens. To steer clear of this, go to Menu>Settings>Security, and enter the lock code - either “0000,” or the last 4 digits of one's telephone number. Following that go to the restrictions menu option, enter the lock code once more and hit Data>Lock. The result will be that data is locked but if you want to reverse it, repeat the procedure.

An additional important feature of LG 290c is really a Bluetooth capability. Nevertheless, appears that Bluetooth also wasn’t meant to allow data transfer (like sending your photos to the computer or even better, transferring audio files and photos from computer to your phone for using them as ringtones and wallpapers), but there's a way for unlocking this feature too.

“From the main screen go to Menu>Settings>Bluetooth>Power>Off>OK. Press End to return to the primary screen. Dial 7764726290 and press send. Enter 000000 press OK. Scroll down to Bluetooth Setting and press OK. FTP Server is highlighted press OK. Yes is highlighted press OK. Highlight On and press OK (NOTE: Even when there is a check mark next to On already select it once more. You'll have to do this every time you want to transfer files).”

With a 1.3 mega pixel camera (1280×960) some fairly sharp and high quality pictures of one's surroundings could be taken but you'll not be able to record a video. Also, voice recorder, voice dialing, hands-free speaker, regular organization tools, picture messaging are accessible at Tracfone LG 290c. In addition, this phone is Hearing Aid compatible device.

What counts the most since this phone is mostly talking phone, is call quality. Nicely LG 290c could be proud of call high quality even with some distortion at higher volumes. Reception, however, is outstanding as well as battery life. For speak time battery lasts as much as 3 hours and standby time - up to 7.5 days.
