If it's made by LG I wonder how long until you could unlock it with one of the 5-10$ online mail the unlock code services, if it uses some standard LG locking scheme that might already be possible. I've unlocked devices before that weren't on the "unlock list" just by trying the most similar device to that, that was pretty much the case when Nokia used to have 50 regional models for the same phone, and while things have surely changed I don't think that they've changed that much.

As a SHTF phone it's not that bad of a deal I have the new Microsoft Nokia 105 as an emergency and beach/club/night out phone it costs like 15 GBP unlocked. No wifi and 2.XG only but it's 15GBP if I lose it I won't cry because it's the price of 2-3 shots here in London. And for those that say I need my phone to call Uber, well m.uber.com works on low end phones ;)

Oh and the most wonderful think about the Nokia it actually works as a phone unlike pretty much every modern phone out there the reception is brilliant (2G coverage is pretty universal) and as far as the voice quality goes it's by far better than the iPhone 6S and the OnePlus I'm using atm it's much clearer even in loud environments.
