A Durable and Inexpensive Phone From Tracfone with Double Minutes

This review will cover the Samsung S125G, which is a simple candy bar style phone with an LCD screen, 9 digit dialing pad, and long battery life.

It is also very inexpensive; available at many locations for $10. The low cost and good durability of the Samsung S125G makes it a good choice for a backup phone, emergency phone, or a phone for those who don't expect to use it too often.

The S125G is a very simple phone, so for those who are looking for a little more functionality, including Triple Minutes for Life, consider the Samsung S425G or the LG 840G. You can also view all our cell phone reviews and find one that best suits your needs.

Now, let's look at some of the features and specs for the Samsung S125G.

Features and Specs - Samsung S125G

This phone comes with all the basic phone features, including caller ID, 200 entry phone book, voicemail and several more convenient features listed below:
  • LCD Color Display
  • Hands Free Speaker
  • Keypad lock
  • Auto Redial
  • Text Messaging
  • Alarm Clock
  • Double Minutes for Life
  • Battery, Wall Charger, Activation Information etc.

Specifications for the Samsung S125G:
  • Long Battery Life - 6hrs talking, 12.5 days standby
  • Light Weight - 2.47 OZ
  • Display Size - 1.52 Inches

S125G features and specs
The Samsung S125G is a simple phone, and here at TracfoneReviewer, we liked that it was very inexpensive to buy, but with good durability and nice features like Double Minutes and hands free speaker.

For anyone who might not know, the double minutes feature on this phone means that for every prepaid minute added you will get 2 total. So if you add a 60 minute card, you will get 120 minutes total. And of course you will get a few more bonus minutes by using a promotional code!

The battery life on the S125g is very good, and TracfoneReviewer estimates it will last a week or more on one charge with low to moderate usage (a call or a few texts a day). Compare that to the average of 24hrs for modern smartphones! 

Dislikes for the Samsung S125G

We do have a few dislikes about this phone, specifically: no camera and no MP3 player.

This phone does not come with a camera, as most cell phones even from Tracfone do these days, we found that to be a dislike. But the lack of a camera is not really a big deal, because this is a mobile phone, not a camera anyway.

The S125g also does not have an MP3 player, which for most is not a big deal. But for just a few dollars more, you can get a phone like the LG 500G which comes with both a camera and MP3 player and full QWERTY keypad.

Clearly this phone was made to be very low cost, with only the more important features included. But that makes it a very low price, and easy to use as a backup phone, or even a burn phone...

Overview of the Samsung S125G from Tracfone

This phone is a great choice for consumers who are looking for a phone that does the basics - calling and texting. The extremely low cost, $10 or less, and good durability/battery life, gives this phone great value.

TracfoneReviewer suggests this phone for consumers who only need the basic functions from a phone, and don't want to pay for extra features. If you only need to call and text, this phone might be a good fit. For those looking for more features, like Triple minutes for Life, check out our list of Triple Minute Phones from Tracfone

Good Deal Alert: We found this phone on Amazon for $9 with a bundle of extras like car charger, case and hands free headset. View this deal on Amazon.

A Feature Packed Flip Phone From Tracfone

The LG 440G is a compact flip phone that packs a nice punch with several great features.

Two of the most notable features for the LG 440G are 3G connectivity, and low price. Not only will surfing the web on the phone's mobile browser be fast, but you can get thise phone for less than $20.

The LG 440G looks like a simple flip phone, but with the impressive features, it is a nice upgrade from other, older Tracfone flip phones.

Let's look at the full feature list next.

LG 440G Features and Specifications

While WiFi and 3G are great features, there are several more features with this phone that are also useful.

  • Mobile Web
  • 3G Connectivity
  • 1.3 MP Camera and Video Recorder
  • MP3 Player
  • Hands Free Speaker
  • Voice and Sound Recorder
  • Voice Dialing
  • Alarm Clock
  • 1000 Entry Phonebook
  • Battery Life on Standby 7-10 Days
  • Hearing Aid Compatible
  • Airtime Balance Display
  • Double Minutes for Life
  • (Initially reported to have WiFi, but does not!)

Likes and Dislikes for the LG 440G

Let's begin with the Likes

The LG 440G comes with many great features for a flip phone from Tracfone.

We already mentioned the 3G feature.  The 3G means that the LG 440G uses a faster network than most older phones, making surfing the web on the phone's mobile browser quicker.

Another big like about this phone is the 1.3 MP camera. While certainly nothing fancy, it is adequate. And pictures can be sent to friends through MMS.

The 3G alone make the LG 440G stand out from other Tracfone flip phones. This is a nice step up from models like the Motorola W376G or other older flip phones.

At $20 retail, and often on sale for less, this phone offers great value for the money, and can easily be used as a backup phone with minimal money spent.

Dislikes for the LG 440G

While this phone does have some valuable features, it is not a fancy phone. If you are looking for a phone that you will use for surfing the web often, you might want to consider a phone with a larger screen, like the LG 840G, or even the Samsung S390G. Both of these phones also come with Triple Minutes for Life and WiFi, which the LG 440G does not have.

If you plan to use your phone for more than just a backup phone, you may want to consider a Tracfone with Triple Minutes for Life, instead of the LG 440G, which only comes with Double Minutes for Life.

The LG 440G has an advertised 7-10 days on standby, which sounds pretty good, and compared to most smartphones these days (which seem to only last 2-3 days), it is pretty good. But compared to say, the Samsung S425G, which lasts 12.5 days on standby, 7-10 days isn't as good.

The LG 440G was initially advertised to come with WiFi, but it turns ot it does not have it.

Finally, this phone does not have a MicroSD card slot, meaning you can't expand the onboard memory, or add very much music/games to the phone. But not many people are planning to use this phone for more than calling and texting anyway.

Overview and Recommendation

Overall, the LG 440G is a good flip phone from Tracfone. The 3G and low price are huge bonus features which give this phone a lot of usefulness.

However, unless you prefer a flip phone style, you may find other phone from Tracfone more appealing with larger screens, and full QWERTY keyboards. Visit our Cell Phone Reviews page to see some of the other options available.

But one of the biggest selling points for us on this phone is the low price. The LG 440G retails for $20 in most stores, but can often be found for much less, even $10 on Amazon!

This low price combined with the useful features makes LG 440G a superb value. For consumers interested in a good value for the money, and a flip style phone, this is a great buy.

View the LG 440G on Amazon to see if you can get it on sale for only $10!

If you're looking for a Tracfone that offers a lot more features, take a look at our reviews of the Samsung Galaxy Centura, ZTE Valet, Huawei Glory and LG Optimus Dynamic. These phones are android powered devices that offer lots of features and still use Tracfone's prepaid service.

A Big Button Phone from Tracfone that is Simple and Easy to Use

Are you tired of touchscreens, flip phones or small keys? Are you looking for a simple phone that does calling and texting? Or maybe you just need a backup phone that will be easy to learn to use?

For a lot of people, the Alcatel A382G Tracfone prepaid phone is the answer.

It gives the user all the basic functions a cell phone needs, without adding extra features. buttons, or screens that can get confusing and in the way.

Features and Specs for the Alcatel A382G

This phone provides several good features that increase its usefulness, without making it more complicated. Here is the full list of features and specifications for the Alcatel A382G.

The Alcatel A382G

  • Big Buttons with Lighted Keypad
  • Larger Font Size
  • Built-in Flashlight
  • Caller ID, Call Waiting, Voicemail
  • Hands Free Speaker
  • FM Radio
  • Background Noise Reducer for Call Clarity
  • Alarm Clock
  • Hearing Aid Compatible
  • 1000 Entry Phone Book
  • Double Minutes for Life
  • Long Battery Life - 16 Days on Standby
  • Weight: 4 oz.

Overview of the Alcatel A382G

This phone is made for simplicity and convenience in mind with its large buttons, long battery life and basic features. Let's look at some of the features in more detail to better understand this phone.

Big Buttons and Larger Font Size
The Big keys and font size makes it easier to not only see and read what you are looking at, but also to actually make punching in numbers less cumbersome for those who find small keys difficult to use. 

Even at night, the phone continues to be easy to use with a lighted keypad. Also included with the phone is a built in flashlight, giving this phone multiple uses! 

Long Battery Life
The battery on this Alcatel A382G is expected to last up to 16 days on standby, which is very impressive for a cell phone. Many smartphones only last a day or two before requiring a charge.

A long battery like makes this phone this phone useful not only to people who may forget to charge their phone, but also for anyone looking for a backup phone. 

Double Minutes for Life
While some newer Tracfone cell phones now come with Triple Minutes for Life, such as the Samsung S425G, the Alcatel A382G comes with Double Minutes for Life which is still a great deal. What this means is that for every minute you buy and add, you will get another minute for free! 

So if you buy a 60 minute refill card and add it to the phone, you will get 120 minutes total airtime! 

Final Thoughts on the Alcatel A382G

The Alcatel A382G is a phone made for people who want a basic cell phone that can keep them in contact with friends and family. It does simple tasks well, such as calling and texting.

Buy on Amazon
It is a very basic phone, and if you are looking for a fun feature-filled phone, this may not be the phone for you. 

The only drawback for this phone may be that it does not come with a user manual, but we have found a pretty good walk through of many of the features on this phone. Visit the Alcatel A382G Tutorial to learn more about using this phone.

Overall, the Alcatel A382G is a good option when considering simple prepaid cell phones. It makes communication easier for more people. But if you are looking for a phone with more features, consider some of the newer phones from Tracfone on our Cell Phone Reviews page.

The Alcatel A382G typically sells for around $30, but is often on sale on Amazon for $19.

A 3G Slider Phone from Tracfone with Triple Minutes

The Samsung S425G has a sliding full QWERTY keyboard making texting and typing fast and easy.

Samsung S425G

This phone is also 3G capable, meaning that surfing the web is faster, as well as better coverage compared to older, 2G mobile phones.

As a GSM phone, the Samsung S425G primarily uses AT&T's 3G network, sometimes falling back on the 2G if coverage is unavailable. Be sure to check that you have good service for GSM in your area before purchasing this phone.

While this cell phone is also available through Net10 and StraightTalk, this review will be based on Tracfone's version of this handheld device

Now, lets look at the full list of features for this impressive mobile phone.

Samsung S425G Features and Specs

This phone comes with a lot of convenient features while maintaining good durability and battery life. The Features include:

  • Triple Minutes for Life
  • Full QWERTY Sliding Keyboard
  • 2 Megapixel Camera and Video Recorder
  • Mobile Web
  • 3G Capable
  • Bluetooth Wireless Technology
  • MP3 Player (MicroSD card not included)
  • Hands Free Speaker
  • Voice Command and Voice/Sound Recorder
  • Alarm Clock
  • 1000 Entry Phonebook
  • Voicemail, Call Waiting and Caller ID
  • Battery Standby time of 12.5 days, Talk Time 6 hours
  • Hearing Aid Compatible

Likes and Dislikes for the Samsung S425G

Beginning with the Likes:

The Samsung S425G comes with some really nice features that make it a very good prepaid mobile phone.

The QWERTY keyboard, MP3 Player and Triple Minutes for Life are just three of the many features that stand out on this phone.

The Sliding full QWERTY makes for fast texting, even faster than those experienced with T9. And when you complete your text, simply slide it closed and the phone becomes nice and compact, covering the keyboard. Texting with a full keyboard is very easy to get used to, and also convenient for anyone with little or no texting experience.

Another big Like about the Samsung S425G is the MP3 Player. It is sleek and improved from older Samsung phones, and allows users to load, and play music on the phone. To load the music, you will need to buy a MicroSD card(up to 32GB) separably, but they are pretty inexpensive. Read our guide on How to Play MP3's On Tracfone cell phones to learn more about that.

As with most newer phones from Tracfone, the Samsung S425G comes with Triple Minutes for Life. This means that for every minute you buy, you get 2 extra for free. This, by itself, is a big reason why many people are upgrading their older phones to this and other newer phones from Tracfone like the LG 840G and Samsung S390G.

Finally, several other features that are worth mentioning include the 2MP camera which is nothing fancy, but very adequate, the 3G capability, and the very long battery life.

Just how long is the battery life? Well lets compare it to the LG 500G which advertises 9 days on standby, 3.5 less than the Samsung S425G, and from our testing the LG 500G easily goes a week with minimal use, and 4-5 days with normal daily texting, calling, and music listening. Based on this, the Samsung S425G could easily go a week or more with one charge and normal use. Very handy to have a phone with long battery life!

Now, let's look at a few Dislikes: 

While this is a very good Tracfone, don't try to compare it with smartphones from other carriers. It is a simple phone for basic uses such as calling, texting, and minor web browsing. The extra features it comes with(mentioned above) are very nice, but can't really compare with modern smartphones. If you are looking for a smartphone, you will have to spend (much) more money, and look somewhere other than Tracfone.

With that said, the only other dislike have to do with how the phone charges your minutes.

When surfing the web on the mobile browser, you are charged based on the number of kilobytes/megabytes downloaded. So as long as you visit webpages that are relatively light graphics-wise, it won't cost very much. But visit a graphics-heavy site, and you might burn through 10 unites of airtime in a minute or two.

Another dislike for the Samsung S425G is the MMS picture messaging. It appears to cost 5 to 10 unites for one MMS message when it used to cost about 1 unit. This may be a bug, and Tracfone may have fixed it, so post feedback on this in the comments if it still exists.

Overall Opinion of the Samsung S425G from Tracfone

samsung s425gThis phone has great call quality, very good durability, extremely long battery life and triple minutes, making it a really good buy for anyone interested in a sliding, full QWERTY phone.

TracfoneReviewer gives the Samsung S425G a high rating because of its overall solid performance and features. And while some might not be interested in buying this phone because, let's face it, a sliding keyboard isn't for everyone, it is a fine option when looking to buy a Tracfone.

The Samsung S425G typically sells for $59.99 in stores/online. Sometimes, the Samsung S425G can be found on Amazon at a reduced price, but this doesn't always last for long.
