I recently ordered this phone, and have no idea how to use it. There was no manual with it, and calls to the vendor have gone unanswered. How do you

The LG Octane is a Verizon-based phone so try going to any Verizon dealer and someone who has worked there for at least 2-4 years should be able to help you. I have the instructions and it says you can got to www.verizonwireless.com for an interactive guide. It's a well-built phone that never has problems so don't get discouraged. Generally it's pretty easy for basics like texting & phone use but I don't use mine for anything else. Oh, and on the left side is the volume control so push that little lever up or down for level of sound. Above that lever is a very small one which prepares your phone to take pictures. Just push different buttons and it'll become self-explanatory. You can't hurt anything. Wish I knew if you have any specific questions because anyone that uses a keyboard phone should be able to assist you. If Amazon is willing to give you my email address, you can text me with your phone number and I can call you to help.

dial *228 and that should bring you to the Verizon programming service to transfer your service onto this device!!!!

I agree with Mary D., anyone at Verizon store can assist you and many phones no longer come with the manual and you can easily access instructions at www.verizonwireless.com.

Thanks for letting me know and pleased that you're figuring it out. It's really much easier than those newer smart phones, which I have yet to discover. I must say it again however---I LOVE my Octane. Enjoy yours.

Hi again--I guess that it's no longer offered because the going trend is all Smart phones & internet connection. I heard on TV commentaries that many people are returning to flip-phones because they are small (to carry in pockets), & dependable. Anyway, you'll soon feel very comfortable with your Octane. Also, don't hesitate to ask a Verizon dealer and/or your neighborhood children/teens for advice. Best to you Sylvia.

i remember when i purchased the phone, i was using an at&t; sim card. i just popped it in and could start calling right away. however, i would also email the seller to confirm as well just in case, because it has been a while since i purchased it and im not sure if the sellers are the same anymore.

Sorry I'm nor the best person to ask about the phone. I ordered it by mistake and ended up sending it back, so I never opened or used it.

Good question. This is NOT an Industry standard connection. My phone broke several months ago, so all that I have is a charger. The company refuses to stand behind their warrantee, so don't expect much help from them. If you do still have the manual, they have contact information. If you do call them, have your receipt on hand first. Try to get another one from them, or take the offer from Nicole.

HiI had the same problem, so I called the vendor and he send me an unlock-code. But the whole thing looked suspicious. So I called HTC and let them check the IMAI or what ever that phone code is called. They told me, that the phone is not new but refurbished. So I called AT&T; and let them check again and they confirmed. The vendor gave some weird excuses. I send the phone back on the same day i received it. I felt screwed and ribbed off. If I were you I would do the same.

I returned the phone, I couldn't figure out how to use it. I'm not very "techy" and not on social media, so the phone seemed like too much. Read my review(Barnfly) about the company before you buy tho'.

I ordered one for someone else. He took it to his local Verizon store (may have been franchise store, not sure) and they managed to set it up for him after calling someone and working with it for about an hour. It was in a small town; not everyone at cell phone stores is as helpful. Other option was new 4G card with higher cost, but no 4G was available in that area.

My package did not arrive with any instructions either. I went to youtube and found several videos that show how others use the device.

I agree with a previous answer...contact customer service for Uniden cordless phones. Their number should be in owners instruction book that came with handset/phone?

Make sure you can activate the phone. The one I got was lock, because it was reported lost/stollen. Make sure it has a clean esn

When I bought my cell phone, It was bought through Ebay. However the phone began to mal function. I tried to get it changed through Ebay, but they never delivered. I decided to purchased another cell phone through Amazon . However, I haven't received the package as yet

Sorry, I can't help you. The phone stopped working and I went ahead and upgraded w/ Verizon. I 'recycled' the phone at Verizon about 4 months ago.

You have to call ATT or the people that sold it to you. Mine was not unlocked when I received it and I called ATT. They gave me the code...

Hi Jay and Bernadine. I did purchase this phone from an Amazon supplier (I'm currently with Sprint, but I'm not much of a Techie. So, regretfully, I don't know the answer to your question. I can look on my shipping box, find out specifically who mailed the phone to me, ask them your question and get an answer for you, if you'd like. Please let me know. My email address is fkendrick39@yahoo.com. Sorry I wasn't of much help, but let me know if you'd like for me to investigate further for you.

Jan, I purchased the phone for some else through my Amazon count. My understanding the guy have not active the phone yet, sorry I cannot help you.

Not good news I'm afraid. The phone is either locked, or was jail broken and then restored. If it was supposed to be unlocked, I would return it.
