Replacing Pageplus phone

My old VX6000 seems to be failing - frequent reboots. I have two other
phones available. One is a Samsung SCH-A310 and the other is a
Motorola V276 - revB.
Only use phone. No camera or sms.
Any thoughts on which is the better phone?
Thanks!

In terms of the radio section, the V276. The problem with the V276 is
the funky charger connector which was a big problem for that era of
Motorola phones. The V276 has a color display, but that may not matter
to you.

Have you considered trying to repair the phone you have? IT MAY
not be possible but if it is, it might be a great deal cheaper.

I may be wrong, but given the age of the phones in question, the OP's
phrase "I have two phones available" means "I have two phones already
lying around I can use without any financial outlay."

Unless the original phone can be fixed for free, I doubt that's a
worthwhile endeavor. Also, given that there are several working VX6000s
available on eBay for $10-25, I doubt repair would be economical in *any*
scenario, since you could just buy a working one for less than any
technician would charge to repair it. (This is often true of phones much
newer and more expensive than the LG VX6000!)

I recently checked locally and found most places have a $25 base charge
to repair a cell phone. IMHO this eliminates repair as a cost effective
option on most non-smart phones.
