Hello Devs. Is there a way to unlock this phone to accept other carriers? It's locked to the sprint network.

Hello All, Looking to purchase the LG V10. The LG V10 is unlocked but a T-Mobile phone and I am concerned about receiving updates. The phone will be used with a Rogers Network Sim in Canada. The phone has been unlocked by the seller and I am wondering if I will receive updates here in Canada with a Canadian carrier ?
Hi everyone,
I am considering buying a used lg g5 on att network, to use in Europe. Will this phone need to be unlocked to use on a carrier in Europe or will international carrier?
I appreciate the help with this question,
Nick
You will need to unlock it through att, but you won't get updates in Europe
Can we unlock so v30 of other carriers will work for at&t? I saw that v30 for other carriers such as T-Mobile and sprint is cheaper.
Verizon and U.S.Cellular LG V30 will work already on any other carrier. They are SIM card unlocked.
T-Mobile will SIM card unlock if you pay off the phone. But depends on which carrier you want to use it on. T-Mobile doesn't have CDMA, so no Verizon for T-Mobile H932.
If you want to confirm if another carrier's phone will work on your network, go to https://willmyphonework.net/
Tmobile has a page that list requirements that must be met before they will unlock it for you https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-1588

You can unlock T-mobile locked V30 and use it with AT&T because both are GSM phones. However, you can't do the same with Sprint devices because Sprint is a CDMA network. But, some devices have both GSM and CDMA capabilities. So if you plan un getting a Sprint phone, make sure it can support GSM networks (SIM cards as well).
You can check here which are CDMA networks and will probably not work with AT&T SIM cards https://www.unlockunit.com/blog/cdma-networks/
Can I use the existing SIM card from my current Verizon LG V20 phone & retain my same phone number with the new LG V30 model?

Yes. If you have Verizon VS996 or carrier unlocked US998. It doesn't even have to be an "original" VS996 or US998, but any North American variant CONVERTED to VS996 or US998.
But why are you resurrecting a YEAR OLD thread?
Some of the answers on here are way outdated. Now I have to spend time correcting them. Arggggh. People stop digging up old threads!

Yes you can. It's called Frankenstein and I wrote the Guide. Any North America V30 (EXCEPT for T-Mobile H932) can be converted to any of the carrier unlocked models.
Favorite is to convert SPRINT LS998 to some other variant, like carrier unlocked US998.
You can get mint 128GB LS998 v30+ for less than $310 with FREE SHIPPING. Convert it to US998 v30+ with all the US998 bands and fastboot flash commands. PLUS, it's now carrier unlocked/SIM card unlocked.
Bootloader unlock it using WTF, root it, boom ready to go.
Not your fault you had a wrong "November 2017" answer brought to light now in November 2018. Somebody dug up an old thread and the information you gave at the time was correct. But lots of development in the past year. We now have Frankenstein and WTF.
Please I need to unlock LG V30 +, if you unlock it or know where do let me know.
Thanks
Define unlock. Bootloader unlocked or carrier unlocked?
Mine's already carrier unlocked. Many V30/V30+ are, like U.S.Cellular model, etc. Even Verizon's can be used with other carriers.
The famous "carrier locked" are the problematic Sprint V30/V30+. (I don't know why people mess with Sprint phones at all, if they don't intend to use them on Sprint. There's always so much drama with Sprint phones.)
So, what do you have?

If you're referring to bootloader unlock, only certain V30/V30+ variants have that.

LG V30+ LS998
I want it carrier unlocked so that I can use it on other carriers.
This is my first LG Phone, I have always used HTC Phones and never had issues unlocking HTC Sprint phones.

It's just there's already carrier unlocked V30/V30+ phones, you don't have to mess with locked Sprint phones. I have two V30 and one V30+, all officially carrier unlocked. Paid average $597.33 for each.
U.S.Cellular V30/V30+ models also unlocked, but just won't be eligible for bootloader unlock. Has same CDMA/HSPA/LTE bands as the open market LG US998.
The South Korea models via eBay also work U.S. carriers like T-Mobile and AT&T and get quick updates. They already have Oreo.
Anyway, good luck.

Does your phone asl for network unlock codes or is there an app called "Device Unlock"?
Try inserting a non-accepted SIM card and place a call with it and let us know the message your phone displays on the screen.

Also, do a hard reset
Try inserting another SIM card from a different network and see if it works.

Will a US Cellular LG V60 ThinQ 5G work on the Verizon network if its unlocked?
Can't find a Verizon V60 any where. Looking for alternatives.
