If you don’t need the LG Vu’s 3G connection, for sure turn it off, even if you get a new phone, It’s the LG Vu’s factory default Dual Mode and it’s easy to access the menu, dial 277634#*# on the dialpad, Go to Modem Setting (6)>Network Mode(2)>Network Mode>And lock onto 2G Only by selecting and pressing ok.
