LG Wine / User Reviews

Started out great but after a year later the battery charge won't even last a day. Very disappointing since my contract is lasting longer than my phone.

When I bought this phone, Bell accidently sent me two of them. The first one lasted just over a year then completely died. It wouldn't turn on, it would just flash the LG symbol. I tried to look up the problem, got no real answers but read many reviews from people saying they had the same issue.... More

Have had the basic LG280 for about 3 or 4 years now. I must say that I haven't had one problem with it. The charge lasts for 5-7 days, call quality is great and the phone itself is easy to use. Keep in mind I just use it for basic sending and receiving calls, and an alarm clock. Nothing fancy.

There was not a feature I didn't like on this phone. I had waited many years to trade in my Nokia because I couldn't find a phone with comparable features. This one fit the bill until it started randomly shutting itself off. It doesn't make a sound, no warning, just off. I find myself... More

The battery is terrible in this phone. I barely use it and it's dead within 4 hours. I like to keep it on me for my long drives back to school in case I have car trouble- I have a really old car- but it never stays charged. VeRy Unreliable.
Never Again!

3 months after I bought it the phone shut down unexpectedly and kept flashing the LG logo on and off despite taking the battery out, trying to turn off the power, or trying to charge it. I sent it away- i had to pay about $150 (of which i was reimbursed about 2 months later-as a student this was a large... More

I took my LG Wine phone back to US Cellular complaining that it shut down three times per week and I was tired of missing calls. The young lady there said to try it for another week and come back if the problem persists. It did, and I went back yesterday. The young tech fella there took the little memory... More

Have had for approximately 10 months. Worked very well for first 6 months, now camera doesn't work...at all. You press the camera button, the camera icon appears, and that's it. From that point you can't even turn to phone off or use it..you have to remove the battery to restart it!... More

Phone worked great for 14 months, then decided to stop working, much like what I read from everyone else. Main screen will just periodically show the LG logo and shut down. Bell's customer service was horrible (as per usual with every experience I have had with them). I don't recommend this... More

I just wanted a simple phone that would allow me to call and send a couple of texts. This phone seemed perfect until just after the warranty was up the software stopped working. It flashes the LG logo periodically, but that's it. Both LG and Bell say buy a new phone, and are incredibly unhelpful.... More

This phone is powering on and off by itself.Nothing but problems!Never again LG cellphone!

This phone has its good points, large keypad numbers, slim and easy to hold, but the phone is far to delicate if you are someone who is on the run. The main screen breaks way to easily. I am now on my fourth phone in less than a year and a half. Each time the main screen has cracked and become useless... More

Do Not Buy this Phone

I bought it because all I wanted was a basic phone, it had big number pad, it flipped open as opposed to sliding keyboard, I didn't need all the fancy gadgets. I'm middle aged and basically take care of my stuff, so this phone has not been mis-used, just the normal bumps... More

I have owned my LG Wine for 14 months, and have come to appreciate several of it's features:

- Brilliant large display.
- Adjustable font size and color.
- Large buttons (I am a man with man-sized fingers).
- Decent voice quality.
- Generous storage capacity for detailed contact info.

On the other... More

I love many of the features of this phone, but I have an ongoing problem. Oftentimes, when I press a number to begin dialing, the first number entered will not be there. For example, when I press "34" and "send," I will get a wrong number because it dialed "4" send. Sometimes... More

Have had this phone for nearly a year and it's worked great so far. Dropped it on the floor of my barn, where it stayed turned on for a week and still had full charge when I found it. Easy to use, with large buttons and clear numerals. Only downside is Bell Mobility, who are absolutely ridiculous... More

I bought this phone in December, and ever since have had to charge it DAILY. This is with less than an hours talk time, and the battery goes all the way dead. I am so disappointed. I have sent it away to have it looked at, and hope it comes back more functional than before.

I absolutely love this phone but my one and only issue is I can't figure out how to delete recent text! If it's possible at all?

I've had this phone for a month or so and I 've discovered no problems yet. It's the first phone that I've had that wasn't black (I bought it in pink). So far, I love this phone. I've had no problems with battery life. Mind you, I use it just for talking and a little bit... More

I'll get to the point and start with Pros and Cons.

Pros:
- Handsome looking phone (Gold).
- Adjustable font size (my mom loves it).
- Big buttons (my mom loves it).
- Earpiece sound quality is decent on Bell's network (my mom loves it).
- Threaded message view.
- Vibrant and impressive display... More
