I recently bought an LG V60 on amazon.
After getting it, I had it unlocked to use on AT&T (an eBay unlock service)
The phone says it is unlocked, I get data, i can make calls and send text.
However, I can receive text BUT I cannot receive calls?
wanting to see if anyone has any idea how to resolve this issue.
Thanks
I have bought an unlocked V60 ATandT on Ebay. At the beginning I had exactly the very same problem in France with my carrier, RED by SFR. I was about to send it back thinking it was badly unlocked. Then I remembered that I also have this problem with my second hand Lg V10.
GUESS WHAT... I changed my SIM with another carrier, ORANGE, and now My two phones "Rock and Roll"
I hope it will help.
Regards

I have recently purchased a "unlocked" phone which was a O2 Xda Mini S off ebay. It is supposed to work with pay as a you go and contract sims.
When we inserted our orange contract sim into it we found that we could use it to phone out and recieve calls, but could not text out or recieve them. When you try and go into the phone settings it is disabled and will not let you access this feature.
If you insert a pay as you go sim for example like a orange pay as you go, you can access everything and this includes texts out and recieve. Calls work and the phone is fine. You can also access the phone settings to change your ring tones etc.
The seller says that we have a 3g sim and we would need a 2g sim instead. We cannot get one of those and we are very confused what to do. Will they work on contract? Has it been unlocked correctly? Too many questions and no answers. We have tried a new orange contract sim which came recently from orange but to no avail. Orange can do no more for me and 02 will not bother.
Can anyone help as it is a xmas present?
Hello Professionals,
I have a little, or maybe difficult problem which I think you might be able to help me on.
I bought a LG V10 H901 T-mobile on eBay sometimes ago, it was still locked to the T-mobile network and I've been making ALL efforts to unlock it for use. When I opened the Device Unlock App and click on permanent unlock to see if my device can connect to the T-mobile Server, the response I get every time is : ' UNLOCK FAILED: Unknown failure, please try again' which means the device unlock services online won't work for my device. I've restarted my phone a lot of time, also updated my device to the latest version, I've even done factory reset but I still get the same error still.
My Phone is not rooted either and I don't live in the US or a territory where T-mobile network works! I'm planning to unlock the Phone for International use. Now, I don't know what else to do to get my T-mobile LG V10 SIM unlocked. Please, kindly help me with this issue as I'm really bothered right now.
Thanks Everyone!
A couple threads already on this:

You can try a generic unlock site and see if it works. Mine didn't since it was a locked "LG partner phone" and I had to email T-mobile's higher management for them to make an exception and add my IMEI to their database. Calling their regular customer service was useless. Use the T-mobile IMEI checker webiste first to see if it's recognized.
Other people haven't been so lucky and have to activate the phone for a couple months on the t-mobile network so they add the IMEI to their database according to their terms and services. Being out of country makes that pretty difficult.
All in all, it might be easier to just sell it and buy an unlocked version already especially if out of country.

Hey so I received an unlocked ATT S9+. I'm was using it for t-mobile. Everything was working fine on the att firmware. I wanted debloated, so I Odin unlocked firmware, then decided to Odin T-mobile firmware for video calling. I upgraded to pie beta, and everything was working fine up until last night, I recieved some calls, and when I tried to call them back, it would not dial out.
I keep getting "Phone not allowed." I tried to pop in a ATT sim card, and it worked, but my t-mobile sim card is not working.
Can anyone help me out here? I'm supposed to send to Samsung repair center, but can phones automatically lock after they have been unlocked. Again I was using it fine for 2 weeks, on different firmwares and pie beta, and this just happened out of nowhere, never experienced this before on any phone.
Please help if you can! TIA
Sounds like your carrier blocked it. I know with Metro by T-Mobile you need to call them and give them your IMEI and such. Your phone isn't locked or it would say invalid SIM
Yeah, it's carrier locked. Google for a way to unlock your S9+ or just with the AT&T sim card. But remember that if you unlock the carrier lock, do not upgrade it.
I ordered four LG G5s H820 off of aliexpress. They seemed to work fine at first. However when I inserted a SIM card, all three started showing the same problem: After a reboot, it would make and receive phone calls for about a minute or two, then it would not work anymore. Couldn't receive phone calls and If you tried calling it you would get a message saying the phone is either disconnected or had no signal or something like that. If I reboot the phone again the same would happen, able to make/receive calls for a minute then it stops. it would also sporadically work, say if someone is would be trying to call, the person calling would get a message the phone is disconnected/off/had no coverage, but once in a while, the call would go through, like after trying to five minutes.
I have full bars where I live and 4G LTE and the SIM used to test the phones was my own, which is working perfectly on my Zuk Z2 plus.
At first, I thought it was a GSM lock. Upon researching online it seems that the LG G5 gives you a straight message warning you when the phone is locked and askes for a GSM unlock code, that isn't happening here.
I also check all frequency bands available where I live and the phone indeed supports them all.
A third possibility that was considered is that the IMEI was blocked by a local government agency because they want to prevent people from importing phones directly, however, they have a tool where you can check if the IMEI is blocked, so I did and it is not blocked.
I'm still trying to figure it out. Maybe there's some sort of software shenanigans going on.
Next, I'm gonna try to jailbreak the phones and install a different operating system. Has anybody done that to this phone?
I have an lg k8+ model x210ulm that i want to use with cricket. The phone is fully unlocked and will accept any sim from any carrier but has an odd behaviour that wont let me use my own sim.
I bought a feesh sim from cricket and when i put it in and set it up it will register with crickets apn and mobile network settibg. I get data and it shows up in the about network as connected and working. It shows cricket carrier in notificstion and i can get texts and even voice mail. But ........
I cannot use the dialer. Upon connection there is no error toast or anything it just imnedistely hangs up.
I can use my wifes my sons or my friends sims in the phone and after a reboot works perfectly. But when i put mine in it stops.
Also my sim works fine in any other unlocked device or cricket device.
Any clue as to wth is going on
Ok so after talking to lg and really that was frustrating. Why because the rep told me it the phone was carrier locked to us cellular which i knew it wasnt because its advertised as being unlocked and well us cellular put up an advert a few years ago stating that all thier phones are unlocked.
So after that i went ahead and talked to a rep at us cellular who assured me it was unlocked and checked the imei for me and sent me link to the advert about thier phones being unlocked.
Back to lg and got another rep this time who knew a lil about something but not much. Could not tell me any thing though.
Now back to cricket where we tested my girlfriends sim in my phone to which it worked and mine in her phone to which it worked. We put the sims in my aristo 2 and fortune 2 and both sims worked. But when i put my sim back in my my k8+(2018) once again every thing works fine but you cannot make or recieve phone calls.
We also tested the voice mail app and and thier what qualifies as a carrier app and it registers. The sim registers in about phone shows service and is connected. Shows the phone number every thing works.
Just not the phone Dialer app
So is there any one out there at all that has had an issue like this before. Any one that can help me figure out what the problem is. This is so crazy that my sim wont work and every one elses will.
Could it be something i did using dialer codes? Any cLues at akl
So here we are months later and im still having sim issues with my k8+ ulm. I ended up buying a brand new device and i tried my provisioned sim card with it not working but literally every other sim card works fine.
I have switched from cricket to assist wireless now who is run or what ever by sprint and i can get the sim card to work for a couple days before switching it to another phone but the main issue is that i get a error popup stating that the sim card has locked and that i need to power cycle and call customer service.
But i made a ton of changes by adding all the system apps from sprint including sprinthiddenmenu and any other apk that was on the tribute dynasty they came from. I also went through the file system and made any prop changes or any thing else that was needed to enable sprint.
At this point id flash a sprint modem but i cant find a cv1 device provisioned under sprint
