lgcg180.pngThe AT&T LG CG180’s design takes us back to an earlier time when cell phones were nothing but rectangles with a display and keypad. With its blue color scheme, internal antenna, and clean lines the AT&T LG CG180 doesn’t call attention to itself; however, you know right away that it’s a phone. It’s compact (3.91 inches by 1.77 inches by 0.58 inch) and extremely lightweight (2.37 ounces). Yet we have to say that the plastic casing feels a tad flimsy. Though we know that the AT&T LG CG180 is designed to be an inexpensive, simple handset, it doesn’t have the sturdiest feel. What’s more, the battery cover is difficult to remove. The external speaker sits on the rear face of the phone, and the left spine holds the headset port/charger jack.
Features
As for features, the CG180 has a slim list of offerings; However, on a phone like the CG180, that’s sort of the point. The phone book holds 500 contacts with room in each entry for three phone numbers, an e-mail address, and notes (the SIM card holds an additional 250 names). You can save callers to groups, but only groups can be paired with a graphic and one of 11 polyphonic ringtones.

LG CG180 (AT&T) Reviews From phonescoop

I got this phone about 2 weeks ago with an AT&T
pick your plan pre-pay account. This phone has very good voice quality and RF. No dropped calls or varying call quality (like with Metro!).

Battery life could be a little better, but it give a solid 3 hours talk time and decent standby. Although a basic phone, it was free, so I’m very happy.

In an age where gadgets grow even more complicated, it’s comforting to know that you can buy a cell phone that’s just a phone. Every once in a while, AT&T quietly rolls out a basic handset for its Go Phone prepaid service that eschews most high-end features and is all about making calls. One of its latest models is the LG CG180. Exceedingly simple in form and function, the CG180 does exactly what a phone should do while offering a speakerphone, a Web browser, and simple organizer applications. We had a few quibbles with its design but we could find few faults with its call quality. The LG CG180 is just $39.99, but you can get it for as low as $19.99 with a mail-in rebate.

The good: The CG180 has a simple, easy-to-use design with good call quality.

The bad: The CG180’s navigation controls could use a little fine-tuning, and its speakerphone quality was uninspiring.

The bottom line: The LG CG180 is a quality basic phone that accomplishes just what a cell phone should do.
