Hi,
Just curious if the AT&T Lg v10 would work on cricket? I have been buying factory unlocked phones for the past year and half so am a bit out of loop. I know older att phone models worked on cricket but I did see a few cases of it not working in the newer threads online. Just want to check before getting it.
Thanks

You can buy a locked AT&T V10 and use it on Cricket (owned by AT&T). It does not need to be unlocked. Same applies for any AT&T MNVO too. In theory, but it seems youve found people posting that for them their phones haven't worked...

Thanks man. I know in theory it should work just a bit hesitant since ATT has been having a lot of new restrictions with new android phones like bootloader lock.

All carriers used to be boot loader locked. That's not new. And as far as AT&T and T-Mobile they welcome each others phones, they like stealing each others customers.
Verizon phone cricket service
Wanted to share I bought a Verizon v10 off eBay (they come unlocked out of the box) took it to cricket, tweaked a few settings and it's worked perfectly for three weeks now.
Im using my v10 on Cricket right now and it works well! Just wont get any updates unless you use an att active sim card.
My v10 is from AT&T and I currently use it on cricket.
My GF's v10 is from Verizon, and she also uses it on cricket. She just had to set the apn.
I use my locked ATT V10 on crickets network. The only real issue is so far it can't update to MM since I'm not a ATT customer.

do you have the APN settings correct? if not, enter the correct APN, enable it, then restart your phone. it should work.
you can just slip in the sim card and hope it works. find your APN settings...

Good day. I am currently running 3 LG V10's on Cricket. So far, so good. Make sure you check your IMEI number with them FIRST !
Anyone have experience with the V10 on mintsim or textnow
I want to purchase a G5 and am wondering if will be more prudent to get an international unlocked one for AT&T or get the tmobile version and unlock it. The GSMarena website shows that both phones (the H830 and H820) carry different bands (no 29 and 30 for the tmobile version). Although straight from the LG website both the 820 and 830 show the EXACT same band supports. Thanks!

Don't know yet but I am having a hard time getting my g5 to sim unlock today. T-mobile said it should unlock through the app but it has not worked for me yet even though I met all of there requirements. They said they are escalating the issue. I think maybe they are having technical difficulties with the unlock server. But surely they will figure it out. I will try to report back.
I'm wondering this too. It looks like it should specs wise.
Clear the data on the unlock app and try again, had an issue with a Xperia z3 recently where the app wouldn't allow me to unlock despite being paid off and on the network for over a year, rep said to clear the app data and try again, worked like a charm after trying for three weeks and speaking to 5 different reps who all had varying solutions, one even said she needed to submit a request and id be emailed once approved, last guy was like nope, once it meets requirements its an automatic procedure server side. So I did as he asked and boom!

I unlocked it though the app seems there was an issue with the unlock server at t-mobile as the unlocked app failed many times. I called tech support many times but finally i got an email with instructions how to unlock it later with the app and i tried it again and it worked. It said "unlock failed: Unlock Approved: Mobile device is permanently unlocked."
I think the unlock failed was a typing error. but it is now indeed unlocked. tech support had to do something to allow it to be unlocked. I would say keep calling support until it works. now I think I must use my old att phone imei# in order to get LTE working? It seems if your phone imei# is not in a whitelist they wont let u access lte network? If anyone knows how to get Lte working let me know pls?
AT&T 4G LTE is working for me
AT&T LTE is finally working for me. Note to anyone looking to use this phone on AT&T LTE the sim you use must first be activated in AT&T phone first , to enable 4G LTE if it is a new sim. Or if you already got a sim in a phone and LTE is working it should work in the phone if you have correct APN settings.
It seems the sim has to be provisioned in a AT&T brand phone with its imei # which i believe is white-listed for LTE on a AT&T server.
Yes my device is now sim unlocked and I am using it on AT&T now.
I am using my T-Mobile G5 on cricket an AT&T mvno. I switched because they have a totally unlimited plan for $70/Mo only catch is they throttle your speeds to 8 megs down on LTE and 4 megs down on 4G. I bought my phone outright from T-Mobile used it for 2 months on T-Mobile prepaid on the $50 plan and T-Mobile unlocked it for me through the app. I had no problem at all getting LTE from cricket once I put in the correct APN settings. LTE showed up within 30 min after number was ported from T-Mobile.
Hey all,
I recently bought an ATT branded Gs7 from the online Samsung store, I have tmobile but I missed out on the tmobile sale of a few weeks ago. I haven't turned on the phone yet. I tried to complete the ATT online device unlock request, but I got the following message: "We're unable to approve your request because the IMEI number provided doesn't match a device that's currently on the AT&T network." I called ATT and they said they were unable to unlock it because it was never on their network... So does anyone know what to do?
- I'd rather not pay $20 to unlock the phone
- The phone did come with an ATT sim card though I have no account. Should I insert the sim card and turn it on? It won't make a difference later when I unlock it and flash the tmobile ROM, right?
Im in the same boat as you. I read somewhere inserting the at&t sim isn't a good idea. Don't remember where i read that. This worries me because i haven't received phone yet and also need to unlock. If i come up with anything I'll reply

I bought my s7 from cricket, but then I flashed it with the 930u firmware so it's now unlocked and will work any network, any sim card
We bought the 930a from ATT (and flashed it to 930u). I couldn't get it to work on anything besides ATT and cricket. I spent hours on the phone with ATT, eventually they told me they could only unlock the phone if I kept it on ATT for 3 months..... Even though I bought the phone at full retail.
We discovered all this after stepping off a plane in a foreign country. Ended up paying 20 or 30 dollars for an unlock code because we need it fixed NOW. It worked, and I hated to pay it, but ATT have me no other option.

Paid for an unlocking service on eBay. I’ve used them several times. They unlocked it via the MetroPCS unlock app (not really an app because they’ve built it in to the actual OS on the A20 under more network settings). So it’s an official unlock not some remote in to your PC scam thing.

Did you activated your A20 before you sent IMEI for unlocking or not? I have mine A20 and it's still not activated, dunno what I should do first ?
It doesn't matter as long as you have the metro unlock app installed.

I'm guessing almost all the MetroPCS A20s on craigslist were given "free with contract" so the initial 24-month contract is not up yet (your case may be different). In that case, I'd expect MetroPCS(Tmo) to eventually put the MEID onto their blacklist. The carriers used to honor each others' blacklists, which could cause Vz to shut off service in the future.
That said, I bought a craigslist Boost G4 a few years ago, which was not accepted by Sprint but has worked fine on Tmo and ATT ever since. So maybe they are not sharing blacklists anymore.
So I look at the ebay link, did you paid 64$ to unlock this device? really
Did u just have a Verizon sim card that u put in the phone? Because I have the same phone and I got it unlocked thru metro but I tried to use a Verizon sim card thru straight talk and it didnt work. Would I just have to get a sim card straight thru verizon and do it that way? Where I'm at I don't get very good service thru t mobile but other ppl have great service with Verizon

For anyone interested. The updated terms through metro for unlocking the carrier on an Android just involves paying more than $100 on your phones bill.
My A20 is free to unlock in about 10 days or so.
MetroPCS version of the A20
Have you activated the MetroPCS version of the A20 before you sent IMEI to unlock it, mine was not activated. as per my knowledge, Verizon SIM cards work with the following phones such as Verizon iPhone, Verizon Galaxy phone or other unlocked CDMA phones. and it won't be compatible with ATT or GSM phones. I want to get my hands on new MetroPCS as my last phone was way too old and wanted to know whether MetroPCS open near me or not.
Anyone purchased an unlock code? Couldn't find one on eBay and don't want to risk one of those $30 fishy sellers on random sites.
Thanks in advance
I'm currently using the surpa but I have att service. I used a guy who can Force a unlock
Did you buy it new? Cricket does not require 6M of continuous service, just 6M after it was activated. I picked up a used E5 Supra and paid for a month of service. Got the Cricket app and the phone had been used enough that I got the unlock code from them for free. I know some buy these with a month of service and then put them in a drawer.
cellunlocker.net can unlock it, I purchased it earlier today. I am not suggesting there the only one but the only one I could find.

Can you clarify your experience a bit more?
You say you paid for a month of Service and that the phone had been used enough to get the unlock code.
So was your phone unlocked because it had a total 6 months of paid service even though they were not contiguous?
What do you mean you "Got the Cricket app"?
thanks

I bought the phone used on eBay. No idea how long it had been used, so I took a chance and paid for and used a $30 1 month refill vs paying more that that for a professional unlock service. Once I had service, I went to the Google Play store and downloaded the Cricket app. Once I had that installed, I was able to get the phone unlocked via their code- it was instantaneous, so it must have been used for at least 5 months. AFAIK, you can't get the unlock code from them unless you have service from them.
I've since sold it, but I'm sure there are instructions on getting the unlock code on their site or the app. As I recall, you can either use the app or call Cricket.

Actually, I will give you a better link, they can unlock and get your original imei back if you lose it flashing images. You don't have to be rooted or unlocked to get there services. They have unlocked 5 g7 power from sprint and cricket. Doesn't matter where, it is remote service though, so you have to hook to a computer for it to work.

Thank you. I will look them over carefully. At first glance it appears attunlockcode does the same thing and charges only $26 with similar Sprint and Verizon limitations.
But I will check them.
I know this works haven't tried the other one. Also if you decide to use the link I gave you once they do the unlock you can flash retail firmware including boot.img and bootloader.img. When you look under software channel after that it will say reula1st. If you use the service you mentioned please let me know ifit works.

I used attunlockcode for 1 phone. They unlocked using USB. IMEI is changed. When I check IMEI at swappa.com it shows as clear but swappa shows it as a MOTO E.
On my phone in About phone it shows moto g(7) supra Software Channel Cricket Android version 9 Build number PC029 114-134.
Tech who unlocked said I can do factory resets and Updates.
I put in my Mint sim in it and tested calls and texting with pics. That is working fine.
When I powered phone with Mint sim cd, Mint Mobile automatically updated some settings including APN settings.
I dont know how and where to find contents of software channel so I can't share that.

This service is done using Moto Service. In the process, the reason why imeis are changed.
In the process, both modemst files & the FSG partitions are wiped. Which is why they get unlocked & which why many devices are getting imei repaired after the unlock.
Cheers
is that good or bad?

You don't need unlock the phone to become a lifeline phone.
Most (if not all) phone can call 911 to get emergency services, no need to pay anything to any carrier, as long you can turn on the phone, then you can to dial 911 or 112/110
