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.

Will an 4G unlocked ATT LG Optimus G work on Verizon?
Verizon 4G cards seem to be SIM cards so i was wondering if an unlocked 4G phone made for AT&T could possibly work on Verizon?

Verizon's network uses CDMA and AT&T's network use GSM, so an ATT LGOG won't work on Verizon. I believe that a Sprint version (LS970 IIRC) will work.
I know how Verizon is with crippling their phones so even if you unlock it or purchase a phone with another carrier you can't change networks.
Any chance the international or Unlocked LG G3 will work on Verizon? hacks or mods to get it to work?

It might work on LTE but I don't think the international models have CDMA radios... I could be wrong but if that's the case, you wouldn't be able to make voice calls until VoLTE rolls out.
I've been trying to find the answer but haven't had any luck.
Simple question- is the Verizon G3 sim card locked? If so, is it just to US carriers or everyone?
I know the G2 was unlocked for international and US carriers. I'm trying to find out if the G3 is also just as open.
Thanks.

A quick search would show that all newer verizon phones are sim unlocked. Just only at 3g speeds. 4G will not work on other carriers. :good:
Thanks.
I was just hoping to get confirmation from someone who owned it already.
Thanks again.
Locked in the US. If you are traveling international then no problem.

That is not correct. I just put my T-Mobile SIM into my Verizon LG G3.
All I had to do to get it to work was manually input T-Mobile's APN, then search operators and select T-Mobile.
Got four times the download speed on TMo than I'm getting on VZW...unfortunately TMo can't penetrate my office building, so my G3 is sticking with Verizon.

I've got lte working on tmobile using my Verizon g3
Sent from my VS985 4G using XDA Free mobile app
Planning to get the LG Optimus G unlocked but it is originally a AT&T phone. I have unlimited plan with T-Mobile with the first 2.5gb of data up to 4gLTE speeds and I was wondering will this AT&T phone work with T-Mobile's 4gLTE? I have read around that this phone will receive 4g HSPA+ but I want to know if it will recieve 4gLTE.
Thanks
No.

it works for me now in L.A.
ok, my bootloader is unlocked and phone is rooted. i got Att kitkat bootloader, the latest Cyangen mod nightly rom, Neighborhood Kernel, and the Att jellybean Radio. The CM11 rom has all the apns and the T-mobile LTE is already selected. I didn't have to change any of the Service Menu setting. Hope this helps.

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.

I'm sorry but where I live don't have Tmobile or Atnt. I was getting 4g LTE with my carrier.
