I was a net-ten user for years, wanted to upgrade my phone to something modern. So I went to net-tens web site and ordered a beautiful LG 900g. But when it came it was not a net ten phone but a trackfone, really disappointed, my net ten service was great always had full signal everywhere but with tracfones service I get no signal at work were I would use the phone the most ARRGGG.
I realize net-ten and tracfone are sister companies, but are not equal and now I want my net-ten service back tracfone suckssss.

I have had dropped calls. I had trac fone before and never had this problem. I don’t understand if there is anything I can do. Someone will call me and I won’ t get them until they say, “Hey, did you get my text?” and I shut the phone off and on again and it shows up 5 minutes later. That defeats the purpose when they are asking me, “Do you want me to pick up dinner?”
Which sucks, because of course I want him to pick up dinner.
Then he comes home, with no dinner, thinking I ignored him.

I want a net10 phone so bad. Is the only one i can afford But still i saw this LG900G phone, which is kind of what their smartphone is. I can’t wait to see how the phone performs under the coverage of the verizon network. My friends who do have the phone tell me that it is reliable.

Yeah I also was unhappy withe t-mobile in the miami area, they don’t have great coverage and I always needed to go outside to get the level of coverage that I needed. Now that I have net10, it’s much better than any contract service that I have been on even tho the internet is a little slower. 8/10 satisfied.

I had T Mobile in the NY area and was very disappointed with their serivce and support,. After seeing a Net10 commerical on youtube and reading some of the comments i decided to give it a go. This was about 4 months ago and so far i am very happy. My T-Mobile phone was more expensive even thought my phone now has a much better camera and the serivce is national. I use the unlimited plan for $50 a month and def would recommend it to anyone who has a local network

Net10 is a really great bargain for the quality of signal strength that it provides. It uses both Verizon AND ATT towers for signal so you know you’re getting the best coverage possible from a prepaid service. It’s not as powerful as the contract boys in terms of 3G and all that, but it’s only 50 a month for unlimited everything so sacrifices are neccesary somewhere or other.

With Net10 complaints about dropped calls are being blamed on the wrong company. Net10 doesn’t have its own towers, it uses AT&T or T-Mobile (depending on where you live). So if you are having dropped call issues, it isn’t Net10 it is the owner of the towers! I have been a Net10 customer for years. It is cheaper for myself (who uses about 150-200 minutes a month) and my preteen son (who uses about 20-30 minutes a month) to pay about $75 every two months (since I need to buy an extra minutes bundle of about 115 minutes for $10 every time I get a $30 300 minute/60 day card) than to get any of the so called family plans with the major carriers.

Net10 has the new 750 minute/30 day cards for $25 available now and I have switched to that for my LG 900G phone. Since I use this model for a great deal of internet searching etc. in addition to my usual calling, the $0.033 cents per minute works very well. The one warning I will give is that if you switch from the traditional 300 minute/60 day $30 cards to the new cheaper ones, you will lose any roll over minutes or time that you have saved up. I just have to remember to add a new $25 card every 30 days on my phone. Also, if you somehow forget your end date and your phone goes dead one day, you can just go and add more minutes back on and you don’t lose your phone number. Too cool!

So for $80 every two months I get basically unlimited calls,texts, and emails for me (1500 minutes is a lot) and my son has more than enought to call, text, and download (using minutes to pay for games and ringtones since he doesn’t use all his 300 up in that time). Heck of a lot better than $69.99 EVERY month for the family plans of AT&T or Verizon, etc.

so yeah I Got rid of my contract fourth months ago and was a little nervous about it, but now I’m glad that I made the switch. Unlimited everything, I never have a dropped call, and its sooooo much cheaper lol. Its just the right way to go. And I love laughing at all my friends who pay DOUBLE what I pay. .and usually my signal is stronger….

My wife and I have had Net 10 for about 6 months, and since we don’t use the phone ver much, it is very expensive. In addition, we have had untold dropped calls using our LG 400 phones and the Net 10 service! Recently, in Reno, NV, my phone and the Net 10 service could not connect for a distance of approximately 1/4 mile. It would also not connect on many of my calls from Reno to Sacramento ——- we are dropping the service!
