For a limited time, AT&T says that you can get an LG V30 for free when you buy two LG V30 phones on AT&T Next, add a line, and have DirecTV service. AT&T will then give you $810 in credits spread out over 30 months.
The LG V30 is an AT&T 5G Evolution-capable device. 5G Evolution utilizes 4G LTE network technologies like 4x4 MIMO, 256 QAM, and carrier aggregation to boost speeds. The service is now available in Austin, Texas, and Indianapolis, Ind., and will roll out to other cities soon.
