The LG G2 will be coming to all four major U.S. carriers, but we’re just now seeing the first actual release date. T-Mobile on Thursday confirmed the LG G2 will be available starting September 25 for $ 99.99 down.
Before September 25 rolls around, the G2 will also be available for preorder starting September 18. T-Mobile’s Simple Choice plan gets you unlimited talk, text and data with no annual service contract. The only catch is that you must pay for the full price of your phone. So while you only have to put $ 99.99 down on the LG G2, you must also pay 24 monthly installments of $ 21. That means the full price of the phone is $ 603.99.
T-Mobile also announced that the more affordable, midrange LG Optimus F6 is available starting today for $ 49.99 down and 24 payments of $ 10.
An earlier report suggested that Verizon Wireless and AT&T would launch the LG G2 on September 12 and 13, respectively. There’s still some time for that to happen, and a sign-up page has been up on Verizon’s site for a couple of weeks now, though no release date is listed. Verizon claims its model of the phone comes with exclusive wireless charging capabilities.
There is still no information about pricing or availability of the phone on Sprint. But if you really want to get your hands on a G2 now, the phone has already gone on sale in South Korea.
