LG L9 P769 runs on any GSM network - LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769

LG L9 P769 has the ability to run on any GSM Network. T-Mobile, MetroPCS, AT&T...etc.

Running currently on AT&T
Running AntonX's custom tweaked cm11 KK4.4 on p769 with micro sim AT&T Gophone acct.

So how to do this?

Sorry guys I was just clarifying the question of whether or not it would run on any GSM network.
To do so you just need simply to unlock the phone by purchasing an unlock code online. There are numerous sites that sell and email the code to you within a 24 hr period. I just Googled unlock "LG Optimus L9 P769" (just enter your model). I purchased the unlock code for $7.
Then once your phone is unlocked just purchase sim card from GSM provider you would like to use. Insert sim into phone (find sim slot under battery) and activate phone with new service provider.
*There are two variants of the p769. T-Mobile and MetroPCS. Make sure you get the correct model info from your phone.

except on a bootloader that is locked you will have to change the apn settings.. which wont be easy, you have to modify a file by yourself..

I also have p769 with locked bootloader running kuma82's custom ROM for locked BL. Of which I've never had to manually add APN's. However I have had to add APN to unlocked BL version with custom ROM and doing so is actually quite simple.

Unlocking a new T-Mobile P769

If I were to buy a new T-Mobile P769, how would I go about unlocking it to allow different carriers?
Is this correct?
1. Buy Phone
2. Buy T-mobile Pre-paid sim
3. Wait for OTA JB update
4. Unlock bootloader using methods in this forum
Does that sound about right, or would I need to get an unlock code from E-bay?

1-4 would not help with carrier unlocking your device. Refer to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252254

[Q] Carrier unlocked

Ok, got a dumb question. Can the HOX+ be carrier unlocked?
I have my Vodafone (UK) HOX+ rooted with a custom rom, however as I don't currently have a micro-sim with another carrier available I am not able to check whether it is carrier unlocked.
I assume like other phones I would need an unlock code and if so, do any of the current crop on ebay work?

[Q] Sim unlock by Sprint on Rooted Phone

I see that Sprint will sim unlock a US phone to use with an overseas sim card.
My LG G3 is rooted and I'm going to Mexico next week and would like to use my phone with a pre-paid sim card I would purchase in Mexico. Will / can Sprint sim unlock my phone if it is rooted?

Check out THIS link post #6.
As long as it has stock or stock based ROM on it, root doesnt matter with Sprint.

Not really there was talk of a Rom that did it for you but don't know if it worked.
It's not that hard just work the steps in OP.
It was real nice to get on T-Mobile.
Order your Ting sim card now ?

I don't really know the answer to this question because I've never used GSM or had to deal with SIM-related stuff, so this might be a dumb question, but does it just require an unlock code? Is this the same code that you can view in the "About Phone" menu in the options? The one that's called UICC unlock or something? Check out this thread here...
Is it already locked with a PIN right now? I don't even know if locked SIMs persist across factory resets, but if they do I would check online to see if that's all you need, or how it works. Maybe a Google search with something like UICC unlock SIM GSM LG G3 Sprint factory reset, for example. Sorry if I'm already telling you stuff you know.
