Hi everyone,
First time posting here. I have a LS998 bought from Sprint. Thanks to ChazzMatt and various users here, I got it converted to US998. Used it on AT&T, Mint, and Metro. All OK.
I have a work iPhone 6S with a Verizon SIM card. I tried the SIM card on my US998, that is able to get phone and data services. I signed up with Credo Mobile (Verizon's MVNO) using iPhone's IMEI and activated the SIM card.
The problem is, my US998 doesn't have data connection when I put in the Credo SIM card. When I try to make a call, it diverts the call to Verizon's customer service. The SIM card should not be the culprit since it works in the iPhone capable making calls and online.
Does anyone know what is going on here? Any help is appreciated!

Can't get 4GLTE with att on my RS988, only get H. And way around this. APN looks good.....
Contact att to change your imei to your old phones imei.
I had to buy a prepaid ATT GoPhone that had the same SIM card size and supported LTE, activate my ATT service on that, then once it showed LTE, I swapped the SIM card into my G5 and it worked. I called ATT previous to this trick and they told me I was SOL if the automated IMEI LTE enabler check doesn't work. This workaround worked for me!

IMEI is like a serial number. You can't change the IMEI of a phone without some major hacking, its set in the hardware.
Its certainly not something a carrier is going to do.
I literally bought my phone, popped int he SIM and BAM LTE, no changes necessary, I also bought my LG G5 RS988 Straight from Amazon.
What's your network and does it work with voice + data simultaneously?
sprint lg g5 unlocked
Facing a similar situation I have a sprint lg g5 and I'm using t mobile service but I only get H. Previous owner was getting lte but he doesnt know how. He was also on t-mobile.e
vs987 using a Verizon sim from Net10 wireless. When trying to enable it I get an error: Mobile number not found. Prior to installing the Verizon sim, I had an at&t sim and would get an error: Verizon sim card not found. I've been able to use the pdanet app and desktop utility for Windows successfully but there are obvious limitations.
Does anyone know if this is a Carrier limitation.. has anyone had problems using this with any other model, specifically the u.s. unlocked rs988?
Thinking of ditching this model for the rs988 but need to know if I can use the mobile hotspot with a Verizon mvno sim or at&t mvno sim..
Thanks in advance
Anyone with the factory unlocked rs988?
anyone with the u.s. unlocked model that can use the wifi tethering/mobile hotspot feature, on any network, could you please sound off.. thanks..
Confirmed..
So I just got an rs988.. mobile hotspot is unlocked. Currently using a Verizon Sim on NET10 wireless.. It appears that Verizon locks this down when not using their network. LAME.
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.
Was having an issue with the phone losing signal when in poor reception area. Do I need ATT to activate phone with imei of xz1 or in order to get LTE do I need to have a previous att branded phones imei on the sim card? Is there any ATT bands this phone doesn't support? Just don't know why phone says no service when it is in a bad reception area. My iPhone 8 works perfect in the same areas.
Use an IMEI of a LTE AT&T phone if possible. If you give AT&T the IMEI of this phone it won't be in their database and it will be provisioned as a 3G device at best.
Do you have any issues with it losing a connection when there is poor cell phone reception?
****, this phone isn't functioning with AT&T LTE? That's a problem... Can anyone else confirm?
I have AT&T. When I got the phone I called them, gave them the IMEI and they did whatever they need to do and my phone works with LTE.
I had previously contacted their technical support before getting this phone to verify that band 12 would work as well.

Log into your AT&T account online and see what they have for a device for your number. It works fine on AT&T LTE but I have had issues for years when giving them the IMEI of my Sony phones. Maybe they have joined us in the 21st century.
So, from what I have been reading online and asking my IRL friends, it seems like AT&T doesn't exactly let devices that aren't sold by the carrier automatically have provisioning for LTE and LTE+. You have to call them.
Only negative in general is that VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling cannot be enabled as a company policy at this time on phones not directly sold by the carrier. Even the Google Pixel 2 can't get VoLTE on AT&T.
...Anyway, solution so far is to call AT&T via 611 or from another line at (800) 331-0500 and ask to "Activate my SIM"... And then ask for an agent. You'll need to give them the IMEI of your phone.
Only then, after you reboot your device, will your phone be provisioned for LTE.
Is this all correct??
I haven't had success giving them my Sony IMEI. I have a carrier version LG V30 and when I bought it, AT&T gave me a new sim. I pulled it and put it in my XZ1 and I have LTE.
As augie7107 mentioned, the trick seems to be getting an IMEI of an AT&T phone attached to your account and sim and you can get LTE on other non-branded phones. The sim I've been using has been the same one I've had since a launch day AT&T iPhone 6. I've used the sim in a number of unlocked Android and Windows phones without major issues: Nokia 925, Moto X Pure, Amazon Fire phone, Nokia 930 (no LTE), Nexus 6p, Axon 7, Xperia XZ, XZs, XZ1, and now an Essential PH-1.

What did the AT&T agents say when they wouldn't activate LTE?
When I received my XZ1c last week, data would not work at all - LTE or 3G.
After playing around with settings for an evening, I chatted with the AT&T service rep first thing the next day and he was happy to enable LTE using the Sony IMEI. I don't know if it depends on customer service agent, or if there is a policy difference, or what.
Long story short...
I have alway had my personal pones used in Mexico and bought in USA (ebay) I have neve had any issue as far as the phones are GSM unlocked, my last phone was the LG G7, new open box from eBay, I use the phone in Mexico without any problem as well as I use it here in Houston, 4G data, calls, SMS etc..
I arrive 3 days ago to spend time with family and I got a preowned Verizon LG V60 GSM unlocked, as soon as I put my SIM card from ATT Mexico it says Service Disabled and the Network Options are greyed with no option to change anything, I already Crossflash to the US Cellular ROM and still have the same problem, I know the phone is unlocked cause I put a SIM from Telcel and it get signal and Roaming and also detect the networks, my question is, have something changed with the service providers here that blocks the SIM from other countryes?
The only think that I notice is that I have a cheap Samsung A13 from my work In mexico, bought in Mexico and If i put the SIM card there I notice a icon of VoLTE in the signal bar, is that the LG V60 does not support VoLTE?

VOLTE is usually softwarw specific and sim card specific. a tmobile v60 will get you volte on tmobile yes but other operators on tmobile network mabey not. Basically buy the right V60 to go with your sim card and if you carrier operates on tmobile network then get tmobile v60 etc and so forth.
