I have had a Tracfone LG600 for several months. Most times the first call I make in a day, I do not hear the phone ringing. Evidently the call does go through, but I do not hear anyone answer and therefore cannot carry on a conversation. The second time I dial, I hear the phone ringing and hear if anyone answers. The speakerphone, however, never works. Is my problem Tracfone service or the LG phone?

Try turning on the vibration setting on your phone. Maybe that will help you know when the phone is ringing along witht he ringtone. Once the volume is all the way up, that's about all you can do. Good luck!
My recently purchased LG600G (Target $30) immediately started receiving unwanted calls that forced me to figure out voicemail. Well, when I say "immediate", I mean once I struggled through the activation process! Turns out I wasn't pressing, and holding, one of the keys. The first of many firmware issues, read on.
Ironically, the phone is not by default setup to use the keypad for entering responses and I needed to enable DTMF tones. 9 Settings, 5 Call, 7 Send DTMF Tones. (btw, p.62 of the manual lists menu options 9.5.8 which is wrong). Select 1 then set.
I was then able to check my voicemail but my phone still doesn't actually let me hear the DTMF tones. I also have to hold the keys down longer than other phones; it doesn't like flying fingers.
Usually I check voicemail using a land line (or my wife's free work cell!). My local number is not my area code. For AT&T the requested mailbox is the cell number, followed by the 4-digit passcode.
