As the title thread says, I know LG loves to just make carrier-specific versions of their phones that will only physically work with the same carrier... to the point that it's not even worth SIM unlocking to take with me to another carrier.
I'd rather avoid that nonsense, though. Last I checked, there was an unlocked version of the G4 that at least had the bands to work with three of the four US carriers, but LG wanted to insist that one too was locked to some other carrier, which left me royally confused.
In most every other respect, everything I see tells me the V20 should be a winner for me. But if I'm going to drop their asking price on one of these, I want a version that will at least leave me the option to use it on other carriers and still have it work. I remember reading on LG's Facebook page that they were going to debut an "unlocked" version later 2016/early this year, but I haven't been able to find or see anything to that effect.
So, where is it?
