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.

Hello! Recently I bought the new Sony Xperia U (ST25i) unlocked to all networks. But in a travel to Angola when inserted the SIM card the phone ask for a PIN code to onlock network. There is possible to a phone be unlocked to any carrier in European space and locked to another carrier in Africa?

I just bought this phone from Pixmania-Pro with another one Xperia S with no lock. The Xperia U works fine with another SIM card from another carrier. But the SIM card's that I try are from Portuguese carriers (Vodafone and TMN) but when I insert the Angola's SIM card the Phone ask's for a SIM lock network PIN.
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.

By any carrier I hope you mean AT&T or its subsidiaries (prepaid that go off AT&T network). With that said some people have called T-mo and simply had it unlocked some paid a small fee to the unlocked. Com or another site. So the choice is yours. If you want to go to a prepaid that runs off T-mo you do not need to get it unlocked
I have used region lock away to get unlock overseas and know of this below thread for domestic unlocking use:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2593305
but is there an app or one click method for domestic unlock ?

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.
