I'm wondering what you guys would recommend. how to unlock my verizon lg g3 to use it on at&t? thank you
Remove back, remove Verizon LTE sim, insert AT&T sim or Cricket pre-paid sim, replace back, edit in necessary APN settings, switch network mode, restart phone.
The Verizon LG G3 is not locked to the Verizon network.

Can I just pop in a sim card from overseas such as the philippines on my verizon g3? any modification to the sim? is apn still required? do i have to unlock the phone still? sorry, just soo many questions....thanks!
Idk bands for Philippines but should Just pop and go. You will need apn for data
You don't have to sim-unlock your G3, nor root it. You just take out your Verizon sim, install your other sim, activate it according to instructions from that Sim's vendor (pin, maybe), go to Global mode, and have the right APN settings in. The Verizon LG G3 seems to have no other APN settings than for Verizon, built-in.
Can't get 4GLTE with att on my RS988, only get H. And way around this. APN looks good.....
Contact att to change your imei to your old phones imei.
I had to buy a prepaid ATT GoPhone that had the same SIM card size and supported LTE, activate my ATT service on that, then once it showed LTE, I swapped the SIM card into my G5 and it worked. I called ATT previous to this trick and they told me I was SOL if the automated IMEI LTE enabler check doesn't work. This workaround worked for me!

IMEI is like a serial number. You can't change the IMEI of a phone without some major hacking, its set in the hardware.
Its certainly not something a carrier is going to do.
I literally bought my phone, popped int he SIM and BAM LTE, no changes necessary, I also bought my LG G5 RS988 Straight from Amazon.
What's your network and does it work with voice + data simultaneously?
sprint lg g5 unlocked
Facing a similar situation I have a sprint lg g5 and I'm using t mobile service but I only get H. Previous owner was getting lte but he doesnt know how. He was also on t-mobile.e
I have a Verizon LG v10 that I want to use on AT&T. Per Verizon the phone is unlocked, but I'm wondering will it be compatible? Will I still receive 4g LTE? I know someone who has Cricket. If I pop their sim into my phone, since it's supposedly AT&T, would that tell me how it will work?

Well I think I figured it out. Put in the Cricket card and all I get is H and no LTE. This Cricket card came out of a Verizon branded Nexus 6 and that got LTE fine. I think I'll just sell my Verizon v10 and pick up an AT&T v10.
Are those places (sites) that you pay to unlock your phone legit? Is it possible to unlock the Verizon version of the G6 so I can use it on T-Mobile or does the Verizon G6 not have the proper bands support?

Verizon doesn't lock their LTE phones. You should be able to drop a SIM card in it and have it work.
I don't know about all the LTE bands though.
I'm on Verizon. Seems everyone I had would work on most carriers out of the box. I had S7 Edge (Verizon) worked on a few different prepaid Sims. I also added a new phone for me and put a dif sim in my old LG Stylus and sent to my son in Boise. And put old sim in my LG G6 and it worked (cause I needed old number in new phone and new SIM went in older phone.
Hopefully that made since haha.
Just remember that the phone/SIM must be in good standing or you will have problems sometimes when activating on major companies. Unless its prepaid SIM you can pop a new one in that's already activated.

I'll have a chance to buy new Verizon LG G6 for cheap, but I'm on AT&T network. Just want to confirm before pull the trigger, do I need a Verizon SIM to activate the phone first then swap with AT&T SIM, or just put in the AT&T SIM would be fine? Thanks in advance!
Put the att sim in, during setup connect to WiFi. After setup input apn settings. Restart the phone. The phone may occasionally inform you that the inserted sim is not a VZW sim. I think that will go away after you disable all the VZW apps.
I have tried different sims but does not recognize the sim. Only recognizes verizon sim. I'm not a verizon customer and where I am at we don't have verzion.
any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Update: Working now. Sim card readers were bent.
