Consumer Cellular No Service - LG V30 Questions & Answers

I am unable to get service from my provider. I entered the correct apn settings. I even went through customer support. They couldn't do anything about it. We even tried to select a mobile network under mobile data manually and automatically. It was unable to connect to the network. My model is LG V30 H930. If someone could help me out that would be great. Thanks.

Check and make sure the phone supports the bands of your provider.

TD-LTE2600 (B38), TD-LTE2300 (B40)
Consumer cellular appears to use at&t and tmobile. Your phone does not support the majority of the bands used by at&t or tmobile. Consider getting the US based version of the v30 us998 or the tmobile or at&t unlocked varriants.

The large carriers may only support consumer cellular on band 2.
at&t uses uses Band 17(700Mhz), Band 5(850Mhz), Band 2(1900Mhz), Band 4(1700/2100Mhz) currently
tmobile bands

Consumer Cellular uses CDMA. You need US998 or North America variant converted to US998.
You bought a European phone.

See screenshot below.

Carrier
US Cellular and Consumer Cellular are two different carriers. Consumer Cellular is GSM based but I guess H930 doesn't have compatible bands. I bought this unit for custom ROM compatibility.

Sorry. Reading too fast. Yeah, Consumer Cellular is an MVNO that uses other real carriers. Still, the H930 is a European phone that may not have all the bands you need.
Any V30/V30+ except for (former) H931/H933 can run AOSP custom ROMs. You should have gotten one of the North America variants which can be converted to US998.

what i don t like about this website, if i set an adresss in france, they simply keep the same price but change it in euro, wich is like 25% price up!
Did you guys already check whether the frequency bands from the South Korean version work in Europe?
I checked the supported frequency bands of the three South Korean versions (please find them below) but, up to now, I didn't check whether they're good for Europe.

It might be easier to just ask the guy what exact LG V10 F600 model it is and then to compare the frequency bands of the model (choose a model: http://www.frequencycheck.com/devices/lg-v10) compared to the one used in your country (choose a country: http://www.frequencycheck.com/countries).

I believe 800MHz and 850MHz are different bands.
European carriers use 800MHz LTE Band 20 and it does not seem to be supported by V10.
Pls correct me if I am wrong.
the question has been asked to my operator, and it seems there are no issue:

Yes, what U.S. Cellular is selling does not have LTE band 71. But while this is the US998, it's not the official carrier unlocked US998. (When you buy this phone from U.S. Cellualr, pay in full, upon request U.S. Cellular will unlock it for you to use on other carriers.)
The official carrier unlocked version has not been "announced" by LG yet -- even though it's listed on B&H website, and we all know it's coming. When it's announced and released (probably end of October, according to B&H website), we are hoping
LG will have filed an FCC amendment to enable LTE band 71 on the US998. An amendment can be filed less than 2 weeks from actual release.
Or that with root, we can enable that band by flashing T-mobile radio over it.
The official carrier unlocked version will not need to have a carrier unlock it, of course. It will be unlocked out of the box. After that, then LG will add that model to the official bootloader unlock list. (EDIT: in another forum, someone said the U.S. Cellular model my not be eligible for official bootloader unlock, even though it's the same model number.)
If you buy this phone from U.S. Cellular right now, pay for it in full, get it carrier unlocked, you would still need to wait for LG to add the US998 to the official bootloader unlock list, to be able to root. Earlier this year it took them SIX WEEKS after the LG G6 US997 was released to be add that phone to their bootloader unlock list.
So, while we know this U.S. Cellular US998 right now does not have LTE band 71, it's possible the official unlocked US998 will have it -- or it can be enabled after root. Exciting times right now, with lots of stuff happening!
To get really specific, here you go:
If you buy this phone right now from U.S. Cellular -- and get unlock code from U.S. Cellular -- it will work on all U.S./Canadian carriers including T-mobile. However, right now it will not have T-mobile's LTE band 71 (600 MHz) which T-mobile has installed in a very few places. (It does have the T-mobile band 66 which is something else.)
If you buy this phone right now from U.S. Cellular, you will have the LG V30+ with 128GB internal storage + microSD card. Will T-mobile eventually sell the V30+ version of this phone, maybe in November, December? Possibly.
If you buy this phone right now from U.S. Cellular, YES you will have a phone that will EVENTUALLY have bootloader unlock and root. You will just have to wait for it a few more weeks, for LG to add it to the official bootloader unlock list. (EDIT: in another forum, someone said the U.S. Cellular model my not be eligible for official bootloader unlock, even though it's the same model number.)
Will T-mobile LG V30 ever have root? Probably not, unless LG/T-mobile has changed their minds since the T-mobile LG G6 was released.
If you buy this phone right now from U.S. Cellular, will you EVER have LTE band 71? Right now, we don't know. Before release, LG can file an FCC amendment to add LTE band 71 to the official carrier unlocked US998 or it possibly LTE band 71 can be enabled on US998 via root. Since this U.S. Cellular US998 and the official carrier unlocked US998 are the same hardware, you can flash any firmware meant for one over the other. IF the official carrier unlocked US998 ever gets LTE band 71, one way or the other, then YES so will this U.S. Cellular phone. (EDIT: in another forum, someone said the U.S. Cellular model my not be eligible for official bootloader unlock, even though it's the same model number.)

Well of course you'll be able to. Sprint will be merged with TMo at the end of this month. So anyone buying a Sprint phone right now is gonna be kinda screwed when Tmo converts all the CDMA to GSM. I would hold off buying any Sprint phones for at least a year to be safe

No, it will be locked down. The LG G6 was. They go by IMEID or something.

I just purchased the US998 from US Cellular for use on T-Mobile. It was carrier unlocked out of the box and works perfectly on T-Mobile.
I definitely want band 71 so I'm wondering how long it will take to know if this model can be boot loader unlocked and rooted..and also if band 71 can be enabled.

Yes, the U.S. Cellular US998 model (in both V30 andV30+) is the UNofficial carrier unlocked version. It has all the GSM/CDMA/HSPA/LTE bands listed below -- but it won't be eligible for bootloader unlock and root. It is SIM card unlocked (carrier unlocked) if you pay in full. There's no guarantee LG will sell the OFFICIAL carrier unlocked US998 in the V30+ (128GB) configuration.
We're hoping the official US998 can have LTE band 71 enabled on root or that LG enables it via FCC amendment before release end of this month.

T-Mobile LG V30 or V30+ Dual Sim

I can't find a for sure answer about this, but dual sim is make or break for me. In interested in the current bogo T-Mobile is offering. We use the kickback feature on lines in our dual sim phones and only use the data on the free lines we have so we get $10/mo back using a dual sim phone.

T-Mobile USA sells the regular V30+, not the DS dual SIM model.
The only dual SIM LG V30/V30+ is the H930DS (which is a V30+).
No North American carrier has the dual SIM model. Even the open market LG US998 V30+ is not dual SIM.
I assumed you meant you wanted to buy the H930DS (V30+) variant to use on T-Mobile USA -- which is what those other people tried to do.

Further to what ChazzMatt said, maybe this will help explain it:
Per gsmarena:

DS models (no Band 2*, AWS Band 4*, Band 5 (usually AT&T), Band 12*, Band 66*, Band 71*):

*current T-mobile Band usage not available on current DS models (though it could be just as simple as flashing the T-mobile software radio though you would need root/bootloader unlock which the DS models are purported not to have) as the DS models usually do not have Band 66 or Band 71 (these are the bands that T-mobile has expanded their LTE network with currently)

US carriers never sell dual SIM phones. They'd rather have you buy two phones

Frequency/bands question

Hi,
I have a frankenstein v30 converted from at&t (currently on verizon).
I'm taking a trip to the phillippines and was planning on buying a prepaid sim when i get there and I just want to make sure that this phone is compatible.
Any way to check which bands are available?
Thanks so much

What firmware model did you use as destination during Frankenstein?
If you're on US998 firmware, then you have the US998 bands. If you're on VS996 firmware, then you have the VS996 bands.
US998 bands are listed in the Frankenstein instructions (see below). Verizon VS996 bands are easily searchable.
http://www.lg.com/us/cell-phones/lg-US998-Unlocked-v30

CDMA: 800 MHz CDMA
2G GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

4G LTE Bands: 1/2/3/4/5/7/12(17)/13/20/25/66
Compare the bands for Philippine carriers listed in the link below with the bands in Chazz' post. Then choose a local carrier based on coverage where you're going (and price/allotments, of course).

No signal when using Verizon SIM in unlocked AT&T V30

I have an AT&T V30 that I paid off and SIM unlocked with the code from AT&T. When I pop my activated Verizon SIM in there, the phone just keeps searching for a signal, even though I'm in an area with good Verizon coverage.
I have a second AT&T V30 that I unlocked and flashed the Verizon V30 firmware, and that one works just fine, so I bet I can do that on this phone to get things working. I'd love to avoid having to wipe the phone though.
Any thoughts?

The AT&T H931 does NOT have Verizon LTE band 13. It also does NOT have CDMA which Verizon still uses -- at least for now. (Verizon is dropping CDMA end of 2019.)

You must not be in an area where Verizon uses LTE bands 2 & 4, but primarily LTE band 13? You also can't drop down to CDMA, because you don't have that.
You should Frankenstein convert your phone to either open market carrier unlocked US998 or to VS996 to get the necessary Verizon bands. You've done it before so you know yes, it will wipe your phone.

You must not be in an area where Verizon uses LTE bands 2 & 4, but primarily LTE band 13? You also can't drop down to CDMA, because you don't have that.
You should Frankenstein convert your phone to either open market carrier unlocked US998 or to VS996 to get the necessary Verizon bands. You've done it before so you know yes, it will wipe your phone.

Hah, well facts are acceptable too.
Thanks for the info, ChazzMatt! For some reason I thought I could use the bands even while on the AT&T stock firmware, but this makes sense.
