Can you help? How do I find the model number of a cell phone?

At the ripe old age of 70, I have been convinced by my 2 kids to go cell phone only. This is a big change for me. I am not sorry to see the last of Verizon but I am having trouble with the learning process in regard to the phone they gave me.

I need to access the model # to figure out what I am doing but cannot find it on this LG phone they gave me. I'm sure the instructions are somewhere on line at the LG site but I can't find this model.
I am now on my kids family plan and will have no phone bills. A great savings for me because I have only SS as income.
It is not a new phone but would serve my needs if I could access the manual.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Open the case, remove the battery, see if there's a label.

I hope that does it!

Go to Amazon, search for the phone name, see if you can match a pic, click on it, and a model number will show up o nthe Amazon page, if not at the top, then halfway down where they talk about the specifications for the item.
I do this a LOT to identify things I have.

Now comes the fun part(pffft).
Must enter contacts, should be fun, I'll mess it up for sure but at least I won't have to guess how to do it.
