LG Ally VS740 Black 3G Wi-Fi 3.2 MP QWERTY Android, Factory Refurbished, Verizon / Page Plus
Factory Refurbished LG Ally VS740 in Black, the 3G WI-FI Google Android slider with a 3.2 Megapixel camera, Qwerty Keyboard, and Touchscreen for Verizon and Page PLUS, reconditioned to close-to-new working order. Refurbished units in the Verizon box suit prop houses that want several matching Android sliders and collectors who want a boxed example.
The LG Ally, model VS740, is Verizon's 2010 Android 2.1 slider: a 3.2-inch 800 x 480 tempered-glass touchscreen over a slide-out full QWERTY keyboard, in a silver-and-black case with five customizable home screens. It has a 3.2 megapixel camera and camcorder, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g, Bluetooth with stereo audio, GPS with Google Maps Navigation, a microSD slot for cards up to 16 GB, Exchange and Gmail support, and up to 7.5 hours of talk time, on Verizon's CDMA EV-DO network.
With Verizon CDMA closed, TG Wireless sells the Ally to collectors of early Android keyboard phones, to prop departments, and to parts buyers who service LG sliders, not for activation.

Condition: Factory Refurbished
Factory refurbished units have been reconditioned to close-to-new working order. They are not brand new and may show light signs of handling. TG tests and grades each unit before it ships. Tell your account manager whether you need units with the original box and accessories or handset-only packs; the mix varies by lot. The listing describes this lot as looking like brand new in the original Verizon box.
Network and compatibility
The LG Ally is a CDMA-only Verizon phone with no LTE. Verizon retired its CDMA network on December 31, 2022, and no US carrier runs CDMA today, so the Ally cannot make calls, text, or use mobile data in the US, and it has no GSM radio for export. The network status line in the table shows the Verizon / Page Plus branding. Its Wi-Fi, GPS, camera, and Android apps still work offline or on Wi-Fi, which keeps it useful as a prop, a Wi-Fi Android device, or a parts donor.
Resale fit
