LG Extravert VN271 3G, A Grade (Carrier Returns A-stock), Verizon / Page Plus
Listed as LG Extravert VN271 3G Verizon / Pageplus Carrier Returns A-stock, this lot is A Grade: lightly used, fully tested units that came back through a carrier channel, carried under SKU LG-VN271-BLACK-CR in black. The A-stock cosmetics make it the lot for collectors and prop departments that want a clean touchscreen slider; parts dealers can use either grade. Packaging is not stated; confirm with your account manager.
The LG Extravert VN271 is Verizon's 2012 messaging phone that pairs a 2.8-inch 400 x 240 WQVGA touchscreen with a slide-out four-line QWERTY keyboard and dedicated shortcut keys. It carries a 2-megapixel camera and camcorder with an on-device image editor, a music player, Bluetooth 3.0 with stereo support, a 3.5 mm headset jack, the Opera browser, mobile email and IM, text-to-speech, and hearing-aid compatibility at M4/T4, weighing 4.3 ounces. It is a CDMA 3G phone with no GSM radio. TG Wireless supplies the Extravert to collectors, prop departments, and parts and display buyers; the two grades here are carrier-return A-stock and factory refurbished.

Condition: A Grade
A Grade (A-Stock) units are lightly used, fully tested, and working, and may show very minor nicks or scratches. Units are supplied as graded; ask your account manager about packaging (original box, accessories, or handset only) when you request a quote.
Network and compatibility
The Extravert VN271 is a CDMA handset with no GSM radio, no LTE, and no VoLTE. Verizon shut down its CDMA network on December 31, 2022, and Page Plus service ran on that network, so the phone cannot be activated on any US carrier today. Carrier branding is per listing; see the network status line in the table. There is no SIM slot and no export path to GSM markets, so realistic uses are collectors, film and TV props, parts, and display units.
Resale fit
- Collector and retro-tech shops that stock working Verizon-era CDMA handsets.
- Film, TV, and theater prop departments that need period-correct carrier-branded phones.
- Parts and display units for repair benches, store fixtures, and training.
