LG Unlocked GSM Cell Phone


The trendy LG Chocolate KG800 model has a lot of the most popular features you’d want in a phone, as well as a lot of extra functions you wouldn’t expect to find. It seems like a phone offering this many functions would be expensive, however this isn’t so. Considering the many features it includes, the LG Chocolate is affordably priced.

The LG Chocolate KG800 model is a stylish slide-open camera phone featuring a dark case with a chrome accent piece that separates the display from the touch keypad. The LG Chocolate’s keypad, which is sensitive to the touch, is really handy in terms of use. The user-friendly design of the LG Chocolate is really appealing. The keys may be considered sensitive; however, this is justified by the added function they contribute to this phone. With keys that respond to touch and shine red when in use, this is not only good-looking but practical too.

This LG model features a two-inch color display offering vivid and clear images with 240 x 320 pixels of resolution.

In addition, the LG Chocolate features a 2mp camera with built-in auto flash. With the phone opened, you’ll see the camera lens, LED flash, and even a self-portrait mirror. As you snap photos, you can opt to save them on your phone, to capture your mementos and print them in the future. This phone includes a video function that lets you record, play, and stream video.

Overall the LG Chocolate is attractive, functional, and has more features than you’d expect for what you’ll pay on average for this phone. Give it a look, and I believe you’ll be astounded by this terrific model from LG.

Question: How do I get an unlocked LG enV phone onto the Sprint Network?
I’m interested in the new LG enV phone and I noticed a post that inquired about putting it on the AT&T/Cingular network. In one of the answers someone stated that it was possible to put it on the Sprint network which is what I’m on so I was wondering how to do that, if it truly is possible.

Answer: Well there are a couple factors that come into play here. Like you said the phone will need to be unlocked. Also, you need to see if Sprint is capable or willing to load their programming onto the phone so that it will work on their network. In my experience they are unable to do so. It is easier with phones from AT&T and T-mobile because they have sim cards that already have the programming loaded into them. Thus if the phone is unlocked you only have to add your sim card and it will work. Not true for the other carriers though.

Question: Does an unlocked LG phone work for a T-Mobile user?
I was thinking about buying a unlocked LG chocolate. My carrier is T-Mobile so will it work?

Answer:
The LG chocolate is a CDMA phone (doesnot use simcards) where as T-Mobile is a GSM carrier (uses simcards) they use different cell technology and are NOT compatible with each other.
You can only make a unlocked GSM phone work with T-Mobile such as those from At&t.

Question: Can I buy an unlocked LG enV phone and use it with my Cingular/AT&T service?
I have heard from some people that it would work, and others say the enV is strictly a Verizon phone. If anybody has any insight, please share!

Answer: AT&T phones use a type of cell technology called GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) while Verizon uses a different one called CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access). These two types of networks are not compatible with each other, and phones that run on one cannot work on the other, with the exception of the new Blackberry 8830 World Edition from Verizon and Sprint.

GSM phones require SIM cards to function while Verizon phones do not. Since the enV is offered by Verizon it does not need a SIM. If you tried to get AT&T to put it on their network, it would need to have a SIM in it to be able to work on the network, but since it’s a Verizon phone and doesn’t need one, there’s no slot for one. That basically the problem that arises. That phone simply will not work for AT&T. You could put it on Sprint, but not on AT&T.
