  • Owner's manual

Q: If the unlocked LG V40 phone is compatible with AT&T, why would I purchase the AT&T designated LG V40 from Best Buy for $950.00, when the unlocked V40 is only $749.99? Are there certain features that are left out for AT&T with the unlocked version?

A: Yes, you'll lose wifi calling, HD voice, and Visual voicemail when using the unlocked phone on ATT. It's certainly frustrating but not a deal breaker since I travel internationally and need the ability to SIM swap. FWIW, if you activate it on T-mobile, the wifi calling works but can't speak to the other functions.

Q: Can I just buy this phone and insert my existing Verizon SIM card? I am confused about the activate later device cost.

A: As an unlocked phone, the LG - V40 ThinQ with 64GB Memory Cell Phone (Unlocked) - Aurora Black is not assigned to any carrier and is compatible with AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint and Verizon. The activate now option requires that you activate the device with one of BestBuy's supported carriers, usually Verizon, AT&T, or Sprint. Activate later still gives you the opportunity to activate the device on the previously mentioned carriers, as well as any other that is compatible with the device, but doesn't include the added discount at checkout. Te phone does not require activation at checkout and should work simply by inserting a SIM card from a compatible carrier but the added discount is an incentive provided, usually by the carrier, so that customers can activate the device on their network at checkout. You already have a SIM from Verizon so you can simply insert that into the phone but again, you do not get the discount at checkout...^IFV

Q: I'm sorry if my question is redundant, but will this phone work on Verizon prepaid plan? I had LG V10 which broke, I have LG optimus prime. I need to upgrade. Just want to make sure it works before i buy unlocked phone for the first time ever. Thank You.

A: The LG - V40 ThinQ™ with 64GB Memory Cell Phone (Unlocked) - Aurora Black is listed as compatible with all major U.S. carriers, including Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile. ^CP

Q: Is the screen flat? I am tired of trying to get cases and screen protectors for the curved screens.

A: Flat enough no problem with screen protector. Also great resception even in bad signal areas.

Q: Could you check the screen for any PWM Flickering issue (how to check? example youtube "LG PWM Test")

A: I have the phone and I have not had any issues with the screen or flickering issues.

Q: How good is this camera compared to LG 4 stylo

A: Hello, the V40 5 camera's: 2 front - Standard is 8MP & Wide Angle is 5MP; 3 Rear Camera's - Standard is 12MP, Super Wide Angle is 16MP and 2X Zoom Telephoto is 12MP.
