"Good little, basic cell" on by jmettee
Pros: Compact, clear calls/good reception, decent battery life, has all the basic features
Cons: No 'Mute All' function, instruction manual a bit vague
Summary: The LG Aloha is our 2nd Virgin Mobile phone, the other is a Kyocera K10 Royale that we've had for ~2 years. The Aloha is pretty much better in all aspects. The LG is compact, has good reception, calls are on par with what I've heard with other cells as far as clarity.
The LG's instruction manual is a bit vague on what some of the features are...it just tells you how to get to the function setting to turn it on & off---not what the feature does (some features are not self-explanatory). The only other thing I have found that is a bit irritating is that there is no "Mute All" function; you have to individually turn the volume off for both ringtones & message alerts. A single mute all sounds or vibrate only setting would be very handy.
Overall: really happy with it & it fills our needs with all that was expected. -

"A great basic phone." on by kingslandga
Pros: This has been a super phone for my purposes. Easy to use, very light and fits comfortably in my pocket. I have always had very good call quality. My wife upgraded to the LG rumor touch. I kept her old Aloha in case mine ever breaks.
Cons: No camera ( I didn't want one). No qwerty keyboard. Texting is somewhat laborious as it only has a standard phone number keypad. If I were to change one thing on the phone it would be to include a slide out qwerty keyboard.
Summary: If you are looking for a basic phone and you don't need a camera and don't need a qwerty keyboard, this phone is a great deal.
