I'm guessing it didn't totally survive the hot tub incident.

Yup it does, sowwy.
I doubt you can use a Verizion phone on AT&T since they use different systems. AT&T uses a gsm service. I don't think Verizion does.

I have an LG Nitro that I love and am on AT&T. it will cost you but go to a Best Buy and tell them what you want to do and just switch out your phone for one you want.

One word "samsung"
My wife's old LG sucked donkey appendages. We both now have Galaxy's and are very happy. My friend is very happy with his Motorola too... YMMV

Don't you people know about StraightTalk? $45 a month. Unlimited everything. No contract. And the smart phones are actually running on AT&Ts 4G network. And they have Samsung Galaxy S IIs.

My wife and daughter have both had moderate luck with Samsung stuff. They aren't horrible phones, but they aren't great either. They are decent/ok/maybe even good. I, on the other hand, have had great luck with HTC phones. I even had one that was completely submerged in water twice and survived to tell the tale.
I just can't bring myself to buy anything made by LG. My impression it's that their stuff is more about show than go, but I don't have anything concrete to base that on. Last edited by masraum; 12-21-2012 at 02:54 PM.. |

As much as I hate Best Buy...
Supposedly they are pimping cell phones... they have a selection of carriers and phones in store. Pick your provider and your phone and walk out. I have no experience with this deal so buyer beware. But if you are shopping for a cell phone it sounds cool to have a one stop shop. This is my first Samsung, I have heard they have had issues in the past... but I think they have stepped up their game with the Galaxy line... there must be a reason apple sued them. YMMV PS, With Moto, Sammy, and HTC available personally I would not go with LG... even the new Nokia's look pretty cool (was my second choice after the Sammy)

Now in 993 land ...

Just look online for an LG model you think is close to what you had and buy one that was built / configured for the AT&T network. Should be no problem to switch over to it online or at the AT&T store. Ebay or amazon is a good source to buy the phone - NOT AT&T. I do this all the time on Verizon when a phone craps out - just buy what I like for $50 (refurb or even new) on Ebay and sign it up online at Verizon. I still have an original RAZR V3 running on the family plan!
Don't give in to this smartphone BS. Too much $. G |
