categorizes its phones by family or series. Most LG phones made in the past 3 years follow the “VX” series of
phones for programming.
Like most other manufacturers, only the key sequence to access the NAM programming differs. Once the key
sequence has been entered, you simply enter the correct Security Code (usually 000 000) and then select “Service
Programming” to enter NAM programming (and the first step in LG NAM programming displays the ESN.)
The second step in LG NAM programming is, usually entering the MDN, followed by entering the MIN, Home SID,
and lastly entering a Label (or name) for the NAM which would be displayed on the screen to identify it when
selecting NAMs. LG, in a fashion very similar to Samsung phones, allows access to NAM2 solely through
Extended NAM1 Settings.
When you have finished basic NAM1 programming on an LG phone, you are given the options of “Exit” or “More”.
To access NAM2 settings you must select “More” and then simply select “OK” until the option to edit NAM2
settings appears.
Key sequences are listed below, and in order of oldest to newest.

The sole exception to LG’s consistency is the LG Migo (pictured at right) which is an actual
working cellular phone designed quite literally for children. To program one of these, you
must press “Yes 1 4 Yes” within 10 seconds of turning the phone on. If successful, the LG
Migo will display “Successful”.
