Mon Nov 4 03:51:21 UTC 2019

asking for a phone out of the blue is just kind of a strange thing to do.

>>>>>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>>>>>> dura
>>>>>>>>>>> xv is set up very much like the cadence phone. Since I have the
>>>>>>>>>>> cadence
>>>>>>>>>>> phone, I could tell you about how it is. With the cadence phone
>>>>>>>>>>> when
>>>>>>>>>>> you go
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> to dial a number, the best way I could say it is that it's a bit
>>>>>>>>>>> frustrating
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> until you get use to it, and then again it might be something 
>>>>>>>>>>> you
>>>>>>>>>>> don't
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> want
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> to get use too. When dialing a digit of a phone number, if you
>>>>>>>>>>> don't
>>>>>>>>>>> dial

>>>>>>>>>>> main
>>>>>>>>>>> screen,
>>>>>>>>>>> for example, left soft key and so on. But if you don't find that
>>>>>>>>>>> confusing
>>>>>>>>>>> or annoying, you can dial numbers easily enough. The cadence has
>>>>>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>>>>>> caller
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> id. texting can be done on this phone, and you could even read
>>>>>>>>>>> your
>>>>>>>>>>> message
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> before you send it. The items that are the most accessible and
>>>>>>>>>>> set
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> up
>>>>>>>>>>> well
>>>>>>>>>>> enough to use are  the notepad, sound recorder, and world clock.
>>>>>>>>>>> The
>>>>>>>>>>> regular
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> calculater is unusable due to whenever you press any digits, the
>>>>>>>>>>> phone
>>>>>>>>>>> continues to read the calculator screen. Either setting an alarm
>>>>>>>>>>> in
>>>>>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>>>>>> alarm clock or setting up an advent in the calendar, while it's
>>>>>>>>>>> doable
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> it's
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> painstaking due to when you're  arrowing up and down to get the
>>>>>>>>>>> number
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> hour
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> you need, for example, the number just changes once. For example
>>>>>>>>>>> if
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> in
>>>>>>>>>>> setting the alarm it's on 5:00, and you want to change it to 8,
>>>>>>>>>>> when
>>>>>>>>>>> you
>>>>>>>>>>> arrow down to 6 you'll here 6, arrowing down once more being on 
>>>>>>>>>>> 7
>>>>>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>>>>>> phone's voice says 6 again, and arrowing down again to 8, the
>>>>>>>>>>> phone's
>>>>>>>>>>> voice
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> says 6. So knowing this about the phone you would keep track of
>>>>>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>>>>>> times
>>>>>>>>>>> you're arrowing down to get to the right hour number you need.
>>>>>>>>>>> When
>>>>>>>>>>> you've

>>>>>>>>>>> I
>>>>>>>>>>> don't
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> know
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> if the dura xv is set up any better than the cadence, but if at
>>>>>>>>>>> all
>>>>>>>>>>> possible
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> it's good when you could   work the phone in the store before 
>>>>>>>>>>> you
>>>>>>>>>>> even
>>>>>>>>>>> consider buying it, if in the store they have it out on the

>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> in
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> the

>>>>>>>>>>>

>>>>>>>>>>> in a
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> number of the stores, they don't have the flip phones out as
>>>>>>>>>>> demos
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> on
>>>>>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>>>>>> counter so therefor you couldn't completely check out how the
>>>>>>>>>>> phones
>>>>>>>>>>> are set
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> up.
>>>>>>>>>>> The lg exalt phone, is the best  set up flip phone out of the
>>>>>>>>>>> flip
>>>>>>>>>>> phones
>>>>>>>>>>> that I know of. You could easily dial phone numbers, and the
>>>>>>>>>>> exalt
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> has
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>>>>>> caller id. writing a text on the exalt is great, since you could
>>>>>>>>>>> read
>>>>>>>>>>> what
>>>>>>>>>>> you wrote in your message so far or read the message before you
>>>>>>>>>>> send
>>>>>>>>>>> it.
>>>>>>>>>>> With arrowing right or left, you could easily corect any mis
>>>>>>>>>>> spelled
>>>>>>>>>>> words,
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> by back spacing on any wrong letters and typing the 1 or 2 right
>>>>>>>>>>> letters.
>>>>>>>>>>> I couldn't seem to corect any mispelled words in a text message

>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> with
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> the cadence.  I can use just about all the items in the tools

>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> of
>>>>>>>>>>> the lg
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> exalt, of which that's the second of 2 locations for the voice

>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> The
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> voice recorder is very easy to record with. In fact I found that

>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> the alarm clock. In either one the calendar or setting an alarm
>>>>>>>>>>> in
>>>>>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>>>>>> alarm clock,you would press the left soft key for setting the
>>>>>>>>>>> time.
>>>>>>>>>>> for

>>>>>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>>>>>> phone's voice will  say enter hour, and you would arrow up or

>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> for
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>>>>>> right hour number, then when you arrow right it will say enter
>>>>>>>>>>> minute,
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> if
>>>>>>>>>>> you arrow right again it will say am and if you need pm just
>>>>>>>>>>> arrow
>>>>>>>>>>> down
>>>>>>>>>>> once. In either the calendar or typing someone's birthday in a
>>>>>>>>>>> contact
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> for
>>>>>>>>>>> that person, it's the same, with pressing left soft key for set,
>>>>>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>>>>>> phone's
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> voice says enter month, and arrow up or down for the right 
>>>>>>>>>>> month,
>>>>>>>>>>> after
>>>>>>>>>>> getting the right month, than arrow right and it will sayenter
>>>>>>>>>>> day,
>>>>>>>>>>> and
>>>>>>>>>>> after arrowing up or down for the number of the date, arrowing
>>>>>>>>>>> right
>>>>>>>>>>> again
>>>>>>>>>>> it will say enter year, arrow up or down for the right year. 
>>>>>>>>>>> It's
>>>>>>>>>>> so
>>>>>>>>>>> easy to
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> use the calendar and alarm clock the way it's et up. I also 
>>>>>>>>>>> enjoy
>>>>>>>>>>> using
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> calculator in the lg exalt. One of the neatest things about it,
>>>>>>>>>>> after
>>>>>>>>>>> you've
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> done your calculation and your pess the center soft key for the
>>>>>>>>>>> answer,
>>>>>>>>>>> before it gives you the answer it will repeat your calculations
>>>>>>>>>>> and
>>>>>>>>>>> then
>>>>>>>>>>> give you the answer. Using the notepad is easy  to use, I have a
>>>>>>>>>>> shopping
>>>>>>>>>>> list in my notepad area, and it's hahndy  to write down any 
>>>>>>>>>>> other
>>>>>>>>>>> information. You can go into the browser on both phones, but it
>>>>>>>>>>> seems
>>>>>>>>>>> a
>>>>>>>>>>> little easier navigating on the cadence's browser. Then again
>>>>>>>>>>> maybe
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> I
>>>>>>>>>>> just
>>>>>>>>>>> need to work on getting more use to the browser on the exalt. 
>>>>>>>>>>> You
>>>>>>>>>>> could
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> set
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> up email on both these flip phones. The only drawback is, that 
>>>>>>>>>>> I
>>>>>>>>>>> don't
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> know
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> if it  isn't capable of reading the body of a message. One thing
>>>>>>>>>>> that
>>>>>>>>>>> works
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> easily even though usually I can't read the body of the message
>>>>>>>>>>> with
>>>>>>>>>>> either
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> of these phones, If I send alink to a web site in an email to 
>>>>>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>>>>>> phone
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> I
>>>>>>>>>>> could press the center soft key and it will enter on the link to
>>>>>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>>>>>> web
>>>>>>>>>>> site and open it in the browser. There's some different phone
>>>>>>>>>>> features
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> in
>>>>>>>>>>> both phones for call blocking, setting up speed dial numbers and
>>>>>>>>>>> some
>>>>>>>>>>> other
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> things.We haven't gotten to the stores yet so we haven't tried
>>>>>>>>>>> out
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> any
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> of
>>>>>>>>>>> the other new phones. As soon as we do I'll send another message

>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> what
>>>>>>>>>>>

>>>>>>>>>>> or if
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> you
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> know more about the 4g dura xv let us know, and we're still 
>>>>>>>>>>> going
>>>>>>>>>>> to
>>>>>>>>>>> check
>>>>>>>>>>> out the consumer cellular phones.From what I know sprint has the
>>>>>>>>>>> kyozera
>>>>>>>>>>> dura xv except that they call it the duramax, both verizon and
>>>>>>>>>>> sprint
>>>>>>>>>>> sell
>>>>>>>>>>> the phone for about $270. The dura xv and the dura max are the
>>>>>>>>>>> rugged
>>>>>>>>>>> flip
>>>>>>>>>>> phones and these phones are waterproof, meaning that they are
>>>>>>>>>>> very
>>>>>>>>>>> sturdily
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> made and a little thicker than the other flip phones.
>>>>>>>>>>> For my question if anyone knows, I was reading that in dallas,
>>>>>>>>>>> texas
>>>>>>>>>>> and
>>>>>>>>>>> some other cities, they are begining with 5g phones, does anyone
>>>>>>>>>>> know
>>>>>>>>>>> of any
>>>>>>>>>>>
