Tips to set up the phone: put the sim in before booting the phone for the first time. Connect to WiFi and let the phone install the system update first (mine updated to software version V350ULM10e, Android security patch level July 1, 2018), then reboot and install all of your Play Store Apps. If you do the OS update first with the sim card in, it will pull over your network settings (AT&T for me) and your phone will work correctly right away. I verified WiFi calling does work, but for me I do not get the special icon (wifi icon with a plus sign) like I used to on my V20. Not a huge deal, just worth mentioning if you are looking for the icon to appear. This V35 is lightning fast compared to the V20, apps are much quicker to respond (probably thanks to the upgraded processor and 6GB ram), and the camera is quicker to open/focus and takes better pictures. I've only had the phone for a few days, but will update more later. UPDATE 10/1/2018: After spending a few weeks with the phone, I reduced the rating from 5 stars to 4. The functionality of the phone is spot-on, it's quick, the pictures are magnificent, and battery life is great. However, connectivity to AT&T towers is severely lacking compared to my last phone which was a locked AT&T LG V20. I know I'm asking a lot of a phone to connect to a cell tower in Anchorage, Alaska, but compared to my last phone, in the same coverage area this phone drops phone calls, searches for towers, and struggles to stream music while driving which can be annoying (all things my previous AT&T LG V20 was able to do without issue). I have restarted the phone multiple times and also checked for updates (most recent update info: version 8.0.0, security patch level July 1, 2018, baseband MPSS.AT.4.0.c2.900040.1-SDM845_GEN-PACK-1.146983.13, kernel 4.9.65, build OPR1.170623.032, software version V350ULM10e). According to LG's website, the V35's frequencies are: GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz; UMTS 850/900/1700/2100 MHz; LTE Bands1/2/3/4/5/7/8/12/13/14/17/20/25/26/28/29/30/38/39/40/41/66; International Roaming 1/3/7/20/38/39/40/4 According to LG's website, the AT&T V20's frequencies are: GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, UMTS 850/1900/2100, LTE Bands 2/4/5/12/29/30, Roaming 1/3/7/20, and CA This one has me scratching my head... Verdict: I would buy again, but in a larger AT&T market with more available towers (not Alaska) UPDATE #2 11/1/18:. I've reduced my rating to 1 star. The Bluetooth connection frequently drops. The phone will stay connected to the Bluetooth device but the audio path will randomly switch back to playing through the phone. This happens on all of my Bluetooth devices (speakers, headphones, and my 2017 F150), very annoying. I contacted LG about it, followed their recommendations but nothing has fixed it. They want me to now send the phone to them (which would leave me without a phone). I even refomatted, restored factory settings and started over and no luck (which also took a few hours to get all my apps and such back and organized). Another issue that just showed up: Google Play will not install or update any apps. I've tried all of Google's troubleshooting including removing the SD card, resetting the cache/clear data for the Google play apps, uninstalling updates on the Google play apps (to force it to use the earlier program version), and so on. None of it has worked. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this unlocked phone. Go to your carrier's store and buy one, that way at least you can get a glimmer of customer service.
