Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I use an LG Fuel android tracfone and pair it with the magicjack app(magicApp) and it is a money saving machine.The magicjack app gives you unlimited talk/text for $10/year (.84 cents/month) on android/apple phones/ tablets/iPod touch wherever you have WiFi,and I get WiFi almost anywhere in my area.Unlike other free calling apps,it gives free incoming/outgoing calls to landlines and mobile numbers,not just other people with the same app.The more I use the magicjack app over WiFi,the more tracfone minutes I build up as any unused tracfone minutes carry over when I add the $20 tracfone card every 3 months.The app also works on 3G data,which I have built up a lot of since I almost always use WiFi for web browsing. I use magicjack GO for $35/year($3/month) for my home phone service and have the app set to use my home phone number.When someone calls me at home it also rings my cellphone and tablet if I am connected to WiFi or 3G.The app now includes unlimited talk/text if you use their home phone service.Because of the app, I only need minimal tracfone minutes for $7 a month( I buy the $20 tracfone card every 3 months which adds 180 talk minutes/180 text/180 mb data) for rare occasions when I don't have access to WiFi.So I get home phone service and cell phone service for $10 a month.I turn the 3G data off most of the time and use WiFi as much as possible.My cable internet company I use for home internet has WiFi hotspots almost everywhere in my area. If you don't have or want to use a cordless or corded home phone,you could pay even less than I do using the tracfone/mj app combo.Here's how: You can just pay for the app to get unlimited talk/text and a regular U.S. phone number for $10/year (.84 cents/month).This would bring your total mobile phone cost down to about $8/month($.84 cents/month for magicApp/$7/month for minimal tracfone cellular talk/text/data).You would get unlimited talk/text wherever you have WiFi and 60 cellular tracfone minutes/60 texts/60 mb data/a month for when you can't access WiFi.This would also give you 2 separate U.S.phone numbers to use on your smartphone(tracfone number and magicjack number). As of now,I prefer the tracfone/magicjack/magicjack app combo for $10/month because I still like to use a regular cordless phone at home to give the cell phone a rest.I also like having 2 separate dedicated U.S.numbers(home number and mobile number) to use on my LG tracfone.Very happy with tracfone and magicjack service. I would recommend turning off WiFi and the mj app when you are not using it.I use my phone for mainly calling and occasional texting and web browsing.Web browsing works well and is faster on WiFi than 3G.So far ,I am only using youtube,magicApp and a chess app and use google for looking up phone numbers/ addresses.I changed the 4GB micro SD card for a 16 GB one to fit my music with room to spare.The 4GB card will fit approximately 900 songs. Other reviewers will use more apps than I do.I wanted to spend more time explaining how people can get the most value out of this phone. I use my tablet a lot,so a larger smartphone does not appeal to me.I prefer a compact phone.And buying a less expensive android phone gives you less worry about it getting broken.This phone is working well and does everything I need.Definitely a big step up in performance from the LG Optimus Dynamic I used to use which is now my backup phone.For $30,I would say this LG Fuel is now the best value out there for a mobile phone. Although I use my phone over WiFi as much as possible to save money,I think an added benefit is this might discourage people from using their phone while driving,which I think is a good thing.
