The LG Thrive will be available in silver for $179.99. The Thrive is a prepaid smartphones, but to use it, you still need a GoPhone smartphone data plan.
Plans are as follow, 10¢ per minute or $2 per day for unlimited talk and text plan. But customers also need a data plan which are available as follow, $5 for 10 MB, $15 for 10 MB as well as $25 for 500 MB.
Is this a good deal? Depending on your usage, it could be; but as the need for data usage increase, so will your need for a better data plan. This is why LG and AT&T also introduced the LG Phoenix, similar to the LG Thrive.
