Hey guys,
I just got my LG G Flex 2 from the US. It is such a nice phone. I got the Sprint Version of the phone (LS996) I already rooted it and installed the unlock. It keeps me asking for activation (of the phone itself I guess). Even the included SPRINT SIM card does not help. In Germany we dont have any CDMA networks, just GSM/LTE networks. Is the a way to bypass this terrible activation? I just need to get it working with my t-mobile Germany GSM SIM. Tanks for your help.
Best regards from Germany

This may help you, the guy, which already unlocked gsm, is outside the US, too.

what do i have to do? can i use two service providers at the same time? can i use tmobile for voice and sprint for data? can i use tmobiles aws 3g band? has anybody done this? do i need to use my turbo sim?
I have heard reports that the GSM in the US doesn't work. Also, the FCC filings state there is a lock to prevent this from happening. I really hope someone can find a crack soon so I can use the Sprint TP2 on ATT.
However, I have heard some people getting the Telus version unlocked to work on GSM.
i'm interested in this as well - i've got a work cell that's got a tmo sim and would love to be able to pop the tmo sim in my tp2 and be able to select somehow which phone #/network the phone call comes from

Well, you can already select GSM, CDMA, or Auto on the phone. The only problem is to unlock the firmware so US GSM sim cards will work. Hoping Olipro or cmonex have something up their sleeves.

Im pretty sure Telus is CDMA and therefore can't really be used on other networks except for other CDMA networks, and even so if you do want to use it on other CDMA networks it is near impossible as Carriers are very stringent on letting people use other devices on their networks. Its like trying to use the EVO 4G on Verizon, although CDMA its near impossible. Hope this answer helps
Hi,
I got a Samsung Fascinate Galaxy S for free from my dad. Thing is that he lives in the US and I'm in Canada, I looked around and found that telus had the same phone.
If I get a contract with telus and change the sim card, will I be able to use it?
Thank you!

Hello everyone,
I just purchased a Motorola Photon (my first android and smartphone) and was wondering if someone can help me answer my question.
I would like to use the Photon with a SIM card during my overseas travel and wanted to know if unlocking the bootloader will allow this? I know I can't use Sprint's Worldphones while overseas with SIM cards from other countries - I had my friend confirm it from his BB-Bold. According to him, even if he switches to GSM, the phone automatically goes back to CDMA and uses Sprint's international Voice/Data.
I, however, wanted to know if unlocking will avoid this behavior on Photon? I really love this phone and would like to use it even when I am overseas.
Please advise.
Thank you in advance!
Photon 4G Sim Card
I bought a Photon 4G on Sunday, I just went to Mexico on Monday and tested a sim card from a local carrier and it worked. Just had to switch Network Mode to Any GSM/UMTS mode.
This is really wierd. Hope someone can help.
I bought an unlocked LG Optimus G E971 phone in Toronto, Canada this May. Inserting a Rogers and Fido SIM card was perfectly fine and working while I was in Toronto Canada. No SIM network unlock PIN required.
In October, I travelled on vacation to Hong Kong with the same phone that I thought was unlocked. As always, I would buy a local SIM for my unlocked phone. To my surprised, it prompted for a SIM network unlock PIN. I went to a total of 3 carriers, including 3 Telecom, China Mobile and one other (cannot remember the name). All asked for a SIM unlock PIN.
Not believing what had happened, I went back to the shop in Toronto, Canada after returning home. Tried inserting Rogers, Fido, Bell and AT & T SIM card, all worked perfectly.
My question is, could this be a region lock? Like the Samsung Galaxy Note 3?
Anyone has similar experience to share?

Probably.
Region locking or maybe that your phone did not have the right baseband? I dont know. My phone had a similar problem, it displayed roaming in the native country I was.
If you find something about it, please do post back, ok. I am very curious to this issue.
You need to unlock the phone from your carrier in order to user unlocked sim on your mobile

I can use both Fido/Rogers and Bell. They are different carriers and Fido and Bell are competitors in Canada. My LG Optimus G E971 is manufacture unlocked meaning its brand new and unlocked when I bought it from the shop. I don't buy locked phones from carriers and I don't need an unlock code. Been buying and using manufacture unlocked GSM phones in the past 10 years, never had an issue. Not a believer of locked phones and it's ripped off plans in North America.

The LG Optimus G E971 is quad band and it has HSDPA 850/1900/2100. I matched this to my Samsung Omnia II (I8000) which has HSDPA 900/1900/2100. My Omnia II is manufacture unlocked and is usable in Hong Kong (Asia) without an issue. Not a phone tech person but I would assume my LG Otpimus G E971 is quad band and is useable in Hong Kong.
I didn't know there was a section for LG Otpimus G, I have also posted my replies here:
