LG Thrive P506 Grey, B Grade (Carrier Returns B-stock), AT&T
Carrier-return LG Thrive P506 in Grey graded B Grade as B-stock: fully tested and working, with visible nicks or scratches; lock state is confirmed per lot. This is the quantity tier for parts dealers, display buyers, and prop houses that need working 2011 AT&T Androids and do not need clean cosmetics. It has no LTE, so it is not for US activations.
The LG Thrive P506 was AT&T's 2011 prepaid Android, the GoPhone twin of the Phoenix: a 3.2-inch tempered glass capacitive touchscreen with pinch zoom, Android 2.2 Froyo with Android Market, a 3.2 MP autofocus camera and camcorder, Wi-Fi, Exchange and Gmail email, a dedicated social networking key, FM radio, and a microSD slot for cards up to 32 GB. It is a 3G HSPA phone with no LTE.
TG Wireless carries the Thrive in graded and carrier-return tiers for collector shops that want an early prepaid Android, prop houses that need a 2011 AT&T handset, exporters serving markets where UMTS service on 850 or 1900 MHz is still live, and parts buyers.

Network and compatibility
The Thrive P506 is a 2G GSM and 3G UMTS/HSPA phone with no LTE. US 3G was retired in 2022 and T-Mobile closed 2G GSM on August 3, 2026, so it gets no US cellular service today, whatever the lock state; see the network status line in the table. Abroad it still registers where UMTS on 850 or 1900 MHz runs, and over Wi-Fi it works as a small Android device for collectors, props, and display use.
Resale fit

- Prop houses and set dressers that need a 2011 compact Android handset.
