You are learning what it means to be a journalist and perhaps appreciating a little bit of what it takes to dig for reliable information. I think the experience will be well worth it in your future. Keep up the search! Success, reward, and satisfaction are all bound to be out there resulting from persistence and patience. Excellent discussion!

The LG800G very well might have problems sending the touch tones to Google Voice. Poke around in the settings menus to see if you can find any references to "touch tones", "DTMF tones", or something else like that. Also post in the <a href="http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/voice" rel="nofollow">Google Voice Help Forums</a>. I envy you now. As of July, I have switched to Virgin Mobile and an LG Optimus V (which <a href="http://technobabbl.es/2011/06/hello-android-lg-optimus-v-review/" rel="nofollow">I reviewed a while back</a>, a review I should probably update). VM is owned by Sprint, but Sprint has chosen to disallow forwarding to services like Google Voice. GV couldn't even call the first number I was assigned; I had to request a different one that works. I kind of miss the voicemail forwarding... Good luck solving the problem! I verified my number a long time ago, on (as mentioned above) an LG300G.

I am trying to do the google voice thing for him, as I have it on my sprint phone. I bought the new LG800G for him (a touch phone) so when google tries to verify the net 10 number the call comes through, it says enter the two digit code and I do it but it doesn't register.. it says unable to verify, try again.. How can I do this? You mentioned you use google voice, I just bought a net 10 phone for my son for his birthday. I am trying to do the google voice thing for him, as I have it on my sprint phone.

All online services should be mandated to provide export functions, in my opinion. It's the user's data after all, and in many cases it's of incredible historical and sentimental value.

I am a cynical person myself and enjoyed the "Hey this is evil, but it's cheap so I'll give'em a break." style. This has been the best “cynical” review of Net10 that I have read.

Before this phone i never even looked at them. I sacrificed been in a contract service which i use to pay 88.90 dollars and it wasn't even unlimited :( But thank god they decided to bring out a line of what i like to call semi smart phones haha, now they offer everything great coverage either through at&t or verizon and affordable unlimited rates :)) I have been in love with the net10 service ever since they got the LG900g phone.

Great signal strength even though the phones aren't too fancy and the internet is a little slow, but I expected a tradeoff for only 50 bucks a month! I agree with most of the comments posted above. Net10 has been a really great solution for me because I can't afford a super high-end service but I still want the power of an unlimited anything plan that I can really use. The signal strength has been really great so far, no dropped calls or anything like that! Net10 is great!

Haven't been TOTALLY floored by Net10 but they make for a really great transition or discount phone. For 50 bucks a month, I got service from Verizon towers (it may be ATT where you live but it's based on whatever is better for your service) and I don't think it ever dropped a call. Not very powerful though, and limited phone selection. Love Net10 overall. Haven’t been TOTALLY floored by Net10 but they make for a really great transition or discount phone.
