need IMEI for AT&T lg optimus g to see if it works on my carrier lol
thanks
i need it because i wanna see if it works with bell networks
OR can you check on bell.ca for me?
wondering if it could work on bell networks?
I think the OG and N4 can pick up every gsm band in the world. I doubt anyone would be willing to give you their IMEI

IMEI is a unique number for each specific phone, you would need the number from the phone you were going to (possibly) buy.
You should mention your carrier, maybe somebody has already tried it and can confirm whether it works or not.
Also, if you are getting the AT&T version, you would need to get it sim unlocked first.

Why would the IMEI make any difference? Does Bell block other carrier's phones?
I am using ATT LGOG on Rogers in Canada, and I have heard that it works on Bell too. I can't test it though as I don't have a Bell SIM.
IMEI doesn't matter for a carrier. As long as phone is unlocked and supports the carriers frequencies, it should connect to the carrier

I'm using the AT&T LG Optimus G on Bell right now. I don't get LTE (even though LTE just came to my city) because my rate plan isn't "LTE capable" and it still has not been fixed.

I don't see why not. I still need to talk to Bell again because it says that my device and rate plan is not LTE capable. Either way, I'm more than happy with 4G.
Edit: I finally got LTE on my E970. Had to replace my SIM card (even though it was a LTE SIM) and LTE came on.

No. Verizon works very hard to lock down their phones. There are rumors that this phone may work on other GSM networks but no HSPA+. It won't be easy to get working...

OK, I can confirm a few things for the shipped Verizon DNA's. They can't currently be unlocked on the htcdev website. I have heard that some of the Dev's have found a solution however and we should be hearing on a workaround very soon.
I can confirm that they are still SIM unlocked though! I successfully used an USA AT&T SIM and got both voice and H data speeds (~2mbs down) on AT&T network.

Does anyone know if the One from AT&T will work with Aio Wireless? They're a MVNO subsidiary under AT&T (www.aiowireless.com). I would think it would, but I'd like to be perfectly sure before shelling out the money to purchase one. TIA.

I would believe so since Aio uses AT&T towers and the same frequency bands, My best guess would be yes cause all they would do is just put the imei into the system and the new or existing sim card number and done!

Yes it will. If you have any issues just change the APN settings like any GSM phone. Also AIO Wireless is owned by att as well. They are currently testing it out from what I hear. Only a few cities right now.
Hi guys, anybody here using the unlocked version of LG G6? I preordered mine off BH Photo Video and it arrived yesterday.
Was browing the threads and forums and haven't seen any regarding the unlocked version. My carrier is AT&T but I hate carrier phones since my experience with AT&T LG G5.
I saw lots of threads about how to access the hidden menu and stuff and tried it myself but didn't work so I was hoping some of you here uses the unlocked version and knows how to do that stuff.
Thanks!

Nope. LG did something stupid again like they did with the G4. They made the us cellular version and us unlocked version the exact same model number. I thought they had learned because with the G5 they differentiated the model number for the us unlocked version, but they went back to old habits I guess. So there are two variants of the us997:
US997: US cellular
US997: USA unlocked variant

No sorry, don't have the device so can't test. Maybe try putting a 0 in front of behind the 997 though, not sure. I'm guessing they wanted to differentiate the access code for the two different software versions but not sure. The code should be what was posted just different would be the 997 part.

Hey all,
After getting tired of being screwed over by Sprint for a really long time I'd like to move to T-Mobile. I stopped by the store today and they put a SIM in my phone and it got no data, no text, and no voice. The phone is (allegedly) unlocked by Sprint. I'm the only owner, the IMEI is clean.
I don't understand this since it has GSM bands.
Should it be possible to move this phone from Sprint (CDMA) to T-Mobile (GSM) out the gate? If so any advice I should give the people behind the counter?
If not, is there any magic I can do? I've been searching a lot through this forum and see something about a "frankenphone." https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg...ssflashing-t3780969/post76510671#post76510671
If I follow these directions, it looks like I can make my phone a US998 instead of LS998. Will T-Mobile accept that? Will there be any issues? Would it still work on Sprint too?

It will work with either carrier once flashed to us998 (will be unlocked). I "unlocked" my phone also by Sprint. It worked while on nougat but the ls998 Oreo update relocked it.
I flashed to US998 and still using Sprint without any issues. Follow the Frankenstein thread, then the wtf thread if you want root also.

Ah perfect, I see now.
I'm going to T-Mobile right now will I need to do something like this for their bands too or is this just some Sprint nonsense?
Edit: T-Mobile put a SIM in and it showed 4G but when I tried to go to a website it popped up a T-Mobile website that said this phone has an invalid data plan. Does that mean it worked and the phone just needs to be on a plan or it didn't work?

That's for Sprint users.
Don't need that for T-Mobile or AT&T if you're on US998.
Sprint users need it because Sprint is strict about what phones are allowed on their network. Even though US998 is the official carrier unlocked model V30, Sprint won't "authorize" it. So, Sprint users have to flash back some stuff...

Thanks again so much ChazzMatt. Your posts here and elsewhere have been very helpful.
Do you know anything about what I mentioned in my edit? This is the last barrier for me swapping to T-Mobile. The person behind the counter said this means the phone won't work, but I've found them not to be too knowledgeable and they just dismiss every Sprint phone out of hand. I'm wondering if the phone line was actually tied to a T-Mobile plan (It isn't yet) then the data would work fine. Or does putting a T-Mobile SIM in there simulate that already?

It should work on T-Mobile, if you converted to US998.
I put my AT&T SIM into an LS998 V30+ converted to US998 and it works, of course.
As to why T-Mobile SIM card doesn't immediately work, is the SIM card activated and on a plan -- or new SIM card you just stuck in the phone? It seems to be unactivated card, from what you describe...

Honestly I don't know. I just ask them if we can put a SIM in and see if it will work and then they disappear and come back with a SIM. I assume it's a demo SIM, I didn't see them take it out of a package but maybe she did in a back office.
I WAS able to make calls, that would imply it's active on a plan right?

If flashed to US998 it will work. You are essentially changing the phone from a LS998(carrier locked) to US998(carrier unlocked). Just make sure the apns are correct.
Don't bother flashing Sprint stuff back unless you intend use on Sprint. The apns are greyed out on the Sprint stock rom anyways
Tell them it is a US998..

Right. It's no longer a Sprint LS998. It's a US998 now.

Hey all,
Sorry it's taken me a while to reply but I did want to wrap this up. Thanks to your info, I felt like it was safe to go ahead and swap. We have a T-Mobile plan now and I have the SIM card and everything is working great so far. Once again, thank you so much for your guide so that I could get around what was effectively a simple software issue locking me to Sprint and keep my phone.
I only have one last question. My phone is giving me a popup about an OTA update. Can I take that or will it mess up the US998 change I made?
Edit: Whoops I'm dumb, it wasn't an OTA update it was just giving permissions to upgrade the apps. I'm good now!
