look in settings in about phone and somewhere in there you have to manually select "unlock"
it might be under network settings or hardware or something but it should show somewhere as mine did.

Dear friends,
I searched this website and didn't find an answer - PLEASE help!
I have an LG optimus F3 vm720, bought it in the US for 99$. I think it was at T-Mobile or Sprint
but the carrier is Virgin Mobile - that's for sure, as I pay them 30$ per month, the sim-card is "Sprint"]
(how is that possible?)
I am traveling to Berlin and hoped to unlock it (although the cheap, 99$ was domestic only, exc.
Is it possible?
I could not find the IMEI, could not unlock it. Most YouTube vidoes suggest to hit *#06# - my phone does not react to this.
Can anyone please help me unlock it? Should I root it first (hope I would know how to do this).
It is a nice phone, but now I'm so lost I wished I'd bought something that works in Europe(
Thank you for any tip, suggestion and help!!!
Regards
So I did a little searching I found
Your Service Code is 2945#*659#
You might be able to find your IMEI in there some where?
I found that from this YouTube link exsplaning how to unlock the sim (Mind you I am not suggesting you use the site in the video)
also be careful to not change anything in your hidden menu as this can cause problems
Hope this helps.
Nop, but you are great
It did not work. Nothing happens when i enter 2945#*659# .
But people like you make me love human kind again, anyway! Thank you so much!

can You take the battery cover off your phone and take a picture of sticker ?
Yes, please find the attachment.
Swappa says you are on Sprint PCS (subsidiaries under the Boost Mobile, Virgin Mobile, and Assurance Wireless) so I'm guessing that Sprint allows cross usage of Sim Cards?
How to enter code for LG Optimus F3 VM720?
Turn on your LG Optimus F3 VM720 with original sim card (the sim card from operator which your phone is working now),
Enter PIN code if it is necessary,
Type sequence 2945#*XXX# or 2945#*71001#, xxx - are your model name digits (for example if it is E460 type 2495#*460#),
You will se a secret MENU - choose Network or Network Lock,
Type the code from us and accept it.
or
Switch ON your LG Optimus F3 VM720 with a not Accepted SIM Card,
Enter the Unlock Code we send to you.
Your LG Optimus F3 VM720 is unlocked.

So see if you can get into your secret menu with adding your verents if so then you can go foward with searching for the unlock code.
I verified this works with other phones (my lg g flex) by puting in the first set of numbers and then my phones model number (959) so it should work for you... if not then you might need to reset to stock.

Hello,
I bought a Moto G cellphone in Chile. Now I came to Canada and I bought a prepaid SIM card at Bell. The phone's asking for a "SIM network unlock PIN" - the cellphone was unlocked for all companies in Chile. I thought it was unlocked for every place in the world.
What can I do?
bump! does anyone knows how to fix?
What is your system version? Does it has the "utdms" on the system name? I think if it has that, it is network unlocked. Otherwise its networked locked.
That sounds more like the SIM you bought is locked with a PIN. I think the message is different if the phone is locked to a particular carrier. How many digits is it asking for? A SIM PIN is 4 digits, while a typical unlock code is 8 digits.
that's exactly what it asks me... no particular number or nothing.... i don't know what to do about it, i want to be able to talk in my phone!
Hi, I have a T-Mobile LG Stylo. 2 questions,
Is there a cheaper way to unlock this device to use it on AT&T's network?
The phone does not have LTE band 17 support, is this going to pose major problems in my LTE connectivity?
I wish I could unlock it and try it out by popping in an AT&T sim, but just to try it out would cost me approx $25 for an unlock code off of ebay. (The device has that pesky unlock app instead of using a subsidy unlock code).
Thoughts? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

What's wrong with the app? I'm assuming you probably don't meet the requirements huh? I used it at work the other day to unlock a Stylo for a customer coming over to the AT&T network. I've done it with MetroPCS Stylos aswell using their app. Oh, and fyi, just popping in an AT&T sim won't do anything. We've tried that method at work with a number of devices and they never pop up the unlock dialog, and I know first hand the the Stylo never would (over two different devies). Needless to say, the bands were never an issue on our network, they worked just like they did on the T-Mobile/MetroPCS network.
Hi,
We don't get LG V50 in Romania, but i found a way to import it. the issue is that the phone will be network locked.
Is there a chance i will not be able to network unlock it (super important)?
Will local 5g work (not important) ?
Thanks

You can only network unlock it through original carrier. Don't go for a network locked one. If you're importing, you can get a sprint unlocked one for less than $300
I only have 1 option. A guy bought it from England, and it comes with the package and the second screen. That is why i was asking. So you can only unlock it at the original carrier? Are all youtube videos showing how to unlock Fake? Where you submit your EMAI to a site

Well there's legit sites that do it, but none work for the v50 afaik. It might at some point, but there's also a decent chance it won't.
Hello, I hope someone here can help me, since I've already tried everything I know.
I bought a OnePlus 7 Pro 5g from ebay (https://www.ebay.com/itm/193541542389?ViewItem=&item=193541542389) because I checked on T-Mobiles website and it says it was carrier compatible I'm also aware that the 5g won't work on T-Mobile. The seller assures me the device is unlocked and when I go into System Updates, it says below UICC Unlock that the device is unlocked. But when I insert my T-Mobile sim card it won't connect to the network. These are the things I tried:
Inserted the T-Mobile sim card but it won't connect to the network.
Tried going into settings/SIM & Network/Network Operators and chose T-Mobile 4g but after a while it says the sim card can't register to the selected network.
Tried T-mobile customer support and they say I need to talk to Sprint.
Talked to Sprint customer support and they said I need a new sim card.
Went to T-Mobile and got a new sim card but still nothing.
Did a factory reset but still did not work.
Wiped data & cache but still not working.
Tried updating PRL, Profile and UICC Unlock under the System Updates Setting of the phone using WIFI internet and I got an error.
I don't know what else to try. I even contacted the seller and he assures me the phone is unlocked and that it should work without a problem. I'm in Puerto Rico and using T-Mobile but I can't get this to work no matter what. Can anyone provide some insight on this or does someone here has any experience using this model (GM1925) with T-Mobile?
*Edit*
Forgot to add. When I insert the SIM card and it tries to connect to the network, after a while I get a notification that's titled Phone Services and it says Phone not allowed for voice. Anyone know what that means?
Have you tried with Force LTE app on Android and selecting the correct mode for Tmobile?
Had a similar issue when using Visible phone on Tmobile. After using the App and selecting the correct Network Mode was able to get everything working

Well my problem was solved. According to an awesome telegram group I found and with the help of an awesome member called Chris Starling, we managed to get the phone working. Turns out that some Sprint phones being sold on ebay are semi-blacklisted and will not work with US carriers. The method to solve the problem involves tampering with the IMEI and I barely understood it, the member Chris basically did everything and got the phone working again. So this thread can be closed.
I suggest that no one buy phones from the same seller I got it from.
Hi Lpedraja2002,
If possible can you please elaborate on your solution? I am faced with this same issue, a locked Sprint SIM from an ebay scam. I am familiar with the concept of rooting and changing the IMEI using a root app, but would love to know some more details.
Cheers
Hi.
I also have the same issue. I got the gm1925 model as present. I'm not living in USA but can't use the network in my country. I try 3 sim from several Carrier but it didn't work.
Can you please tell as how you did it.
There is a MSM tool tutorial for unlocking the bootloader on the locked 5G variant. Normally blowing away the software from recovery would work but if Sprint locked the SIM via the IMEI number than it should be possible to unlock the SIM by changing the IMEI. I will be trying this soon using a IMEI changer root app, or maybe using ADB or something. Will update next week.
Edit: can confirm it is impossible to unlock the sim, even by changing the IMEI. One has to get in contact with Sprint.
Following up on this as I recently purchased a OnePlus 7 Pro 5G and am now stuck with it. Wish I read this thread earlier. Can you pass along your contact Chris Starling if he would be able to help?
If it's who I'm thinking of I may know the guy.

If you guys could please edit your posts to not include first and last names that would be wonderful.
Usernames exist for a reason.
Pm if you need help with a semi-blacklisted device, and also don't discuss IMEI flashing on XDA it's against the rules.
i need a help on sim unlock oneplus 7 pro (Sprint) and oneplus 8 (tmobile or Sprint)
I have a Sprint GM 1925 that is debranded and sim unlocked. Both Verizon and T-Mobile confirm it is unlocked but it shows as not compatible and can't be activated by either carrier. I also get a notification that's titled Phone Services and it says Phone not allowed for voice when inserting a T-Mobil SIM. So any help guys?
To everyone here I might have a possible solution.
I was looking for the answer here and didn't found it, so contacted sprint by chat by this link https://www.sprint.com/en/legal/unlocking-your-sprint-device.html talked through chat and waited for 30 minutes. Then I looked for system/updates and then click the UICC unlock it search out for updates and then unlocked the phone. My phone is a one plus 7 pro gm1925. Just hope this could help someone out here.
Hi all,
Amazon and many online retailers are selling this model GM1925. Please advise whether it’s worth to buy. My friend bought this and using via T-Mobile network with 4g however it’s not working with Xfinity Mobile network sim.
