Why isn't this phone available anywhere?

It's at no ATT stores within 250 miles of me, not at Best Buy, and can't find a single one on Swappa. What gives? I've never seen a phone released that couldnt be found anywhere that wasn't named iPhone.

It should be available for purchase online through AT&T. In-store availability depends on your zipcode & most stores only had a few at launch with more replenishments coming in each week. Ebay is also another great source. It's a foreign phone & it's to be expected unless LG pays for store space. LG typically likes to let their products drive the demand.

I just went to Best Buy; there was a Samsung, IPhone and Motorola display. No display fo LG and on top of that, they did not have the V30 phone. They said they are waiting for the V30 and that LG did not pay for a display in the store.

This is a sure way not to sell phones.

I just wanted to put hands-on the V30, but I couldn't find it locally at Verizon nor AT&T. Verizon had an open LG slot, but didn't set it up as a display. A salesperson got the okay to bring one out from the back and let me 'touch' it. Really?! AT&T didn't even have a slot for the V30. I am a Verizon customer... Back in mid October, the V30 was available to purchase online (and pickup in my local store) with a 30-day return policy and no restocking fee. I jumped on it and haven't been sorry.

Seems like LG isn't paying up for product placement.
