I am considering purchasing the Verizon LG G3.
I am currently with Straight Talk with $45/month for unlimited everything (basically 3GB of Data).
What potential prepaid providers work with the Verizon LG G3? Would straight talk activate it? Does Page Plus offer LTE? The Verizon Edge $50/mo for 2GB is tempting.
Thoughts?
Straight talk will not activate Verizon LTE phones. I believe Verizon told them to stop after a few months of doing it. I think you can use Page Plus but personally I like my roaming while prepaid doesn't.
T-Mobile 5gig 100 min $30 SIM and AIO/cricket Smart SIM both work.
I noticed in QPST that this phone has all of the bands enabled... So could you put an AT&T SIM in it and use it as well?

Yes it will work, doing that exactly on my Verizon G3. Just need to input the APN manually. Get full 4g/LTE.
On a related note, I would recommend Cricket (ATT network) as it's cheaper especially if you have multiple lines.

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.

Does anyone know if the Verizon Moto Z will work with a GSM sim?
Why would you buy it from Verizon when they will have the GSM unlocked version in a couple of months.
I just picked up the Moto Z from Verizon, and while they are factory unlocked, the phone has message that the sim is not a Verizon sim. And I'm not getting LTE, just H+, even though the at&t LTE bands are supported.

Yes I did. Still on H+
I think what is interesting is when you goto motorola.com and build one in MotoMaker no where does it say it is for Verzion (or unlocked for that matter). Little misleading to non-Verizon consumers.
I have full LTE service on my Verizon Moto Z and Moto Z Force on AT&T in California. The phone actually functions better when I delete the APN completely and reboot the phone rather than typing in the actual NXTGENPHONE APN. You may want to try that.

Yeah, I did that, no go.
Must be different markets using different LTE bands.
i got the z force from moto maker. it works perfectly on cricket which is the same as at&t. the phone picks up lte everywhere i go in Houston
I have an AT&T LG G5 unlocked and with a verizon sim card.
I checked the specs and it does say it has the correct bands.
Why with the correct APN will I only get 4GLTE Data, but cannot make or receive calls or texts?
When i try to place a call it just comes up and says "Mobile network is unavailable" even though i have service bars. Then when I hit ok I can see in the dialer app it says "Out of Service Area".
I've tried everything. Thanks in advance.
Because AT&T is a GSM network and Verizon is CDMA

To better explain it. Both companies use similar LTE bands for data but Verizon (and Sprint) still use CDMA for voice service while T-Mobile and AT&T use LTE or GSM for voice (depending on what area you're in). Sprint and T-Mobile use slightly different LTE bands than AT&T and Verizon. I could be wrong but that is at least how it has been in the past.
Yeah i understand about verizon being CDMA. And that makes complete sense. Thanks!
I've read somewhere that the two LTE networks are compatible, but I cannot get the Verizon sim card to work on an AT&T phone.

This happens because Verizon is a cdma network, at&t is a gsm one, verizon uses lte only for data, and the at&t phone doesn't have cdma hardware
