ashoksoft 83 Report post Posted October 28, 2006 How much it costed me ? Nothing ... the shop keeper owed me some money for some wierd code I had made for his inventory keeping How much did I spend on it ? Nothing... except maybe a few bucks to BEST while recharging the mobile How many years am I owning it ? From the start of the 501 scheme ... 3 years now! Problems faced ? None at all ... I resolve the issues myself Best thing about it ? Easily the most hackable handset after Kyocera 7135 in reliance cheers ashok Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Honest 836 Report post Posted October 31, 2006 Koi to reply karo @sohail My dear friend it seems that very less members at Rimweb using this handset. I too am not using myself this handset. I had given it to my executive for office use. It will be better that customers who used this handset must also share their comments through this thread. Regards.

vijaykv 5 Report post Posted November 1, 2006 Hi, I have 2 LG 2030 handset. 1. Got it three and half years before when reliance started. Although Reliance says that the handset was free but we all know how they gave this handset compulsorly making all of us club members of the club was never in existance. Used without any trouble till date although recentely it started showing some signs of aging. Battery life is ok. But horrible while travelling. Got a spare battery, in the beginning it worked very well but now it is almost useless. Planning to upgrade now. 2. Another one I got it second hand,( was also a DAPO hand set ) I got it for Rs. 500. Working perfectly alright, using as a prepaid for the last One year. Basically these handsets are working well only recharing is a painfull affair.

rEdshiFt 1 Report post Posted November 1, 2006 (edited) LG's 2030 is an absolute workhorse... THE most ruff-n-tuff phone - so to speak - i've ever seen Those good'ol days with the 2030 working 24x7 nonstop, with the Free Rconnect thing going Still have mine lyin in the house somewhere, though havent been using it for quite a while....(i moved to gsm) its NEVER given me any problems. Its a minor miracle the piece has survived all the (ab)use it was put to I guess MOST of us here started with 2030 when RIL first came out with the 501 scheme Edited December 26, 2006 by rEdshiFt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I_C_U 10 Report post Posted January 24, 2007 I don't own it, but my father has one. So I'll reply. 1: How much it costed you? Actually nothing towards handset. But paid upfront payment of 3 years towards plan charges 2: How much spent on it?( change of battery etc) Nothing 3: From how many years u are owning it? Since Feb 03 4: Problems faced with it till now? Problems with charges & Battery. Have to try hard to get it started for charging. Normal wear & tear but considerting such long & rough use it is nothing 5: Best thing about it. Easily one of the best from LG.

murlidar 0 Report post Posted September 26, 2007 Still using the LG 2030 phone as of 26 september 2007. I was one of the first guys to get the phone in the days when reliance was testing its service in Mumbai and even before they started the billing from May onwards. Was on DAPO plan and now on Life 900 plan. No problems with the set. Works absolutely fine. Wonder of wonders it is still working on its original battery!
