Price & Availability
LG C310 is available now in New Zealand and it comes with a price tag of $200. This price is not confirmed but its price in India is RS 4,000 or $80.
If this phone really costs $200, its not a good ideal to purchase it., which is not having 3G and GPS connectivity. You can get a better smartphone from Nokia or any other manufacturers at this price.
Question: Is the phone keeping the second sim active within a call on the first sim?
