How to reset my virgin mobile LG Flare?

I haven't used my phone in a year or so and when I went to Virgin Mobile website they gave me a new phone number and directions on how to reprogram the phone, I had to leave and when I returned I can't get back to the page with directions and I can't call Virgin Mobile without the phone being activated, although I was able to top up. How do I reset the phone?

You may try default phone and security code to remove restrictions.
ur defalt phones codes is 12345 or 00000 u can use it
Default 4 Digit user code: 1234 or 0000
Default 6 Digit Security code: 123456 or 000000

Type *#06# at the mobile screen to know IMEI no of your mobile.
send the IMEI no to me and i will reply you with unlocking code.
IF Problem not Solved So
Please New Software install in the Phone Problem will Solved

SOURCE: Flare repeating text messages

If you can figure out the solution to this problem please let me know. I have tried everything and this is not the first time it's happened. My phone once sent the same text message to the same recipient over 80 times. And don't count on Virgin Mobile and their joke "trouble tickets". You will NEVER hear from them again about it. And when you call back to get help, you will have to explain the ENTIRE thing over again because apparently their customer service reps don't take adequate notes when you call them. I have had so many problems with texting on this phone it's ridiculous. Most of the time I don't get text messages from people, and then sometimes I'll get them like 4 days later but never all of them. The texts that I send will sometimes take hours or days to reach the recipient... It is a joke and it's a well-known issue that Virgin has with the LG Flare. Seems a bit strange that they would still sell it? From what I've heard the only thing you can do is call them and demand that they send you a replacement phone-- but NOT another LG Flare! Good luck!

SOURCE: LG Rumor virgin mobile call history

It's actually very easy. Click the Talk button (the phone icon next to the Home button). Then, on the screen that comes up, click the Recent History button ( next to the "Hello" button) .

SOURCE: LG Flare phone from Virgin Mobile. Some texts are

Sadly, I have the same problem. It's probably just the phone, the way it's manufactured or something, because this is the second LG Flare I've purchased that did exactly what you're describing. The only solution I've come to is to power the phone down and restart it, or remove the battery, wait a few seconds, then put it back in and restart it. Ultimately, though, there is no permanent fix. And don't worry about calling VM, they are absolutely no help.

SOURCE: is there a reset button

Try pulling the battery out of the back, wait 30 seconds and put it back in. Then turn it on.

How can i use this LG LX165 without asimcard slot

Some phones wont let you use them if there's not a sim card inserted. You can usually buy an unactivated prepaid sim card for 10-20$ from most cell providers, or try to find someone who has an old one that they don't use. It should work even if the simcard is not activated.

LG Flare phone from Virgin Mobile. Some texts are not received until hours or days after being sent. Virgin says this is a problem with the phone. Can you help? Thanks

Hello doesnt some knws why i been received my text msgs late?

This is a well-known issue with Virgin and the LG Flare. Curious as to why they are still selling it. Virgin will drag this out with you for months, telling you to reset the phone and reprogram the phone and all this stuff that is a complete waste of time. The only thing you can do is call them, let them know you are fully aware that this is a known issue, and demand they send you a different model replacement phone! I've had so many problems with texting on this phone and Virgin being no help that I am now switching to a T-Mobile Flexpay plan! It's the same thing as Virgin's service in that there is no credit check, no deposit, and you pay at the beginning of your month of service instead of the end. The difference is it enables you to use all of T-Mobile's regular plans (instead of prepaid which are never as good), and not have to deal with crappy phones and horrible customer service from Virgin! You have to call or go into a store to sign up for Flexpay, but if you search flexpay rate plans on T-Mobile's site you can read all about them! Good luck!

I recieve text messages late or not at all. The text messaging option isnt disabled and I have fully paid for my plan what's wrong with it?

Its probably not the phone, its your carrier network.
The network is what takes the call and what sends it to the phone,
your phone really has nothing to do with it.

Unlocking

Have you tried the Optus sim? Virgin phones are hosted on the Optus network and it could just work. In any case, I had a Virgin C1100 that hadn't been used for at least 3 years. I rang Virgin and gave the account details & IMEI, and they provided the unlock for no charge.
