Replace Battery Or Buy New Phone

[wecaz 0]

Hello friends,

I have an 2 year old LG cell phone. I brought it with offer of free incoming facility of 3 years. It is being used for last 2 years. But now its battery doesn't last for more than a day and this is very problematic.

Please tell me if I purchase a new battery, then will this 2 year old phone will work as new? It does not have any other problem except the battery backup.

What I am doubtful about is the life time of these "less costly" LG phones. Or should I buy a new set?

Thanks in advance.

Replace the battery, phone will work fine.

Yes. Possibly better than a new "less costly" one

Check with ur local mobile wala and get low end LG handset in price of its battery.

I'd say get it replaced by a new one. LG3500 costs 1000rs, so even if your old phone gets you 300-400, still in 700max you have a solid brand new phone, with larger battery.

i second to that rather than putting money in a new battery ...spend a bit more and get a new handsset instead

yes it is better to buy new lg phone . u would easily get in 950-1000 . new phone , warranty , battery , color . n old one can fetch u 300-400 easily.

I have got LG RD 2030 I do not know when it came around say 4-5 or 5-6 years back almost I have been using it and its working great. I love that phone as it must have dropped atleast 500-1000 times but still its running awesome! I do not know if there are still such phones available with reliance anymore of such great quality.
