The LG A290 is modest and probably the biggest bang for your Ksh. 6, 500 if all you want is a phone that can handle any of your three Safaricom, Airtel, Orange or YU simcards in a combination that suits your needs. This triple SIM handset is the kind of phone that silently tells you to “Pick up calls and get things done”

Although quite a modest phone, the LG A290 reports on duty like a handy work tool fully loaded with triple SIM slots which are good to go for both calls and texts. In addition, this phone comes with a large capacity 1500 mAh Li-Ion battery commonly used in power hungry smartphones such as the Samsung Omnia W.

If you desire heavy texting and calls without feeling boxed in by one or two service providers ( Avoid exorbitant cross- service provider charges), the LG A290 is a must have for you.

The average current market price of  the LG A290 is Ksh. 6,500 and can be bought at any Safaricom Shop, Airtel Shops, Ebrahim Electronics, FoneXpress and YU shops.
