Verizon migo manual

A confirmation message appears on the screen after the emergency button is pressed. It also has ten ringer options as well as a vibration option. The volume is adjustable, and the ringer options are very appealing to kids. The ringers are upbeat, and they sound like they were designed with kids in mind. When there are incoming or outgoing calls, the LCD screen of the Migo phone has a brilliant glowing blue display which enables kids to see the date, time, mode, signal strength, and caller ID display.

The Migo cell phone by Verizon Wireless comes with complete instructions for parents as well as an easy-to-understand instruction booklet especially for kids.

It also includes at no extra cost, a charger cable, three colorful wristlets, three backpack clips, a postcard, and really cool stickers so kids can decorate and personalize their cell phone. I recently purchased Migo for my eleven-year-old son. I chose not to give my son his cell phone number in an effort to prevent unapproved calls from coming in. Migo, from Verizon Wireless, is perfect for my eleven-year-old son, and I personally recommend the Migo cell phone for anyone with kids between the ages of six and twelve.

Models such as the Firefly and the Enfora TicTalk were good attempts at the concept, but overall, they suffered from unappealing designs, awkward controls, and limited features. Exceptionally cute and very green, the Migo earns a spot at the top of our list for kid-friendly phones.

Although the call quality is nothing exceptional and parental controls are limited, the Migo is attractive and easy to use, and it comes with a speakerphone. Tweens who are dead-set on a Razr won't appreciate the limited personalization options or the lack of text messaging, games, and a camera, but for parents who just want to keep in touch, the Migo is a fine choice the Nokia is better suited for kids older than Dubbed the Shrek phone because of its green hue and twin stubby antennas, the LG Migo VX is a huge step above the dull, flimsy Firefly and the oddly shaped TicTalk.

We're especially fond of the color, which is nicely offset by the black face and keypad. Measuring 3. Although it's not quite as sturdy as the TicTalk, the Migo has a much more solid feel in the hand than the Firefly.

It survived a few drops to the carpet and hard surfaces. The rectangular, monochrome display is pretty small 96x32 pixels; 1 inch diagonal , but it manages to display the time, signal strength, battery life, and caller ID. It's easy to see in most lighting environments, but you can't alter the brightness or the backlighting time, and the clock is set automatically by the network.

Below the display are the large Talk and power buttons that inside a menu double as yes and no controls, respectively.

Near the bottom of the Migo are four numbered buttons for dialing the four preprogrammed phone numbers that the phone supports. Like the Talk and End controls, they are large and quite tactile. In the middle of the numbered buttons is a jumbo key for dialing an emergency number, such as As with the Firefly, however, we think it's a bit too accessible.

Even though you have to hold the control for 3 seconds, then confirm your choice with the Talk button to make an emergency call, we still think it could be activated accidentally. Completing the outside of the phone are a side-mounted volume control and a headset jack. The speakerphone is a great touch, and you can activate before you make a call by holding down the 1 button for 3 seconds.

As is the case with other kid phones, the LG Migo VX's limited controls mean that menu navigation takes some heavy acclimation. Inside the main menu, there are four function choices, but since the display shows only two lines of text, you must use the volume rocker to scroll down to menu items three and four.

The menu structure is simple and easy to memorize. Option one sets the default ring tone, option two sets the caller ID ring tone, option three edits the four-number phone book, and option four sets the emergency-dial number. While basic menu navigation was sufficiently user-friendly, editing the phone book was more of a challenge.

Each of the LG Migo VX's numbered buttons corresponds to a different group of numbers and letters, depending on how many times you press the key. So for example, the 1 key enters 1 if you press it once, 2 if you press it twice, and 3 if you press it three times. What's more, an even longer tap dance is required to enter letters. To type f, for example, you must press the 1 key six times. It's a bit time-consuming and tedious, but chances are you won't edit the phone book too often.

In any case, the Migo is easier to use than its competitors. As stated previously, the LG Migo VX can call only the four phone numbers as entered in the contacts list.
