The only methods to unlock right now are through the carrier (by calling and requesting an unlock code) or by purchasing one online. There's already a few threads about this.

Is Verizon or T-mobile version sim-free. Which versions can be unlocked throught purchasing online?

T Mobile is the SIM unlocked one. It's SIM unlocked from factory, no unlocked code need to be purchased.

What about Sprint version? Is it unlocked for overseas use?

Sprint from what I've read has an unlock program that you have to go through before them actually giving you the unlock code. So it's kind of pointless to get a Sprint version.

What about Verizon version? I read verizon does not lock their phone. Is the owner on verizon, they have a slot for a SIM card and SIMlock?

It's factory-unlocked out the gate. What you'll eventually have to consider is what frequencies you'll need for what areas. The only difference as far as the world is concerned is whether or not you need the 1700MHz band for HSDPA/HSPA or you need the 850MHz band for LTE. If you need the former, but not the latter: go for the TMO/SIM-unlocked version, if vice versa then the Verizon version is better (AT&T is the same as Verizon but it's locked).

I want only GSM 900/1800, the best SIM-free, or the ability to buy the code on ebey. Would do well to EVDO compatibility. If I understand you correctly then:
# 1 Verizon
# 2 T-mobile
# 3 ATT

[Q] Likeliness of being able to unlock SGS6 for AT&T?

I have an offer from work to upgrade a modem line and get an S6, which I could drop my own AT&T SIM in. Unfortunately I'm with T-Mobile. I successfully have unlocked several other Samsung phones following instructions from XDA.. wondering if this will be possible with this device? I'd love to hear any thoughts on this.

You'd be to unlock and use on att.

Can you elaborate? I'm certainly speaking about a US Carrier lock, that is being able to use the device on another carrier besides AT&T. If It's an AT&T S6/S6 Edge, why would I attempt to/want to unlock the device, to then just use it on AT&T? I'm so confused.

Gsm network says my Moto x is locked, old cdma network says its unlocked?

I'm trying to activate my Moto x second gem on cricket, but they say it's locked. The old network it was on was us cellular so I called them for the unlock code but they say it's already unlocked. Any way around this? I need an unlock code to use it on cricket. I'm wondering if the problem is because cricket uses gsm and U.S. Cellular uses cdma.

If it's unlocked it should work just fine. Call u.s. cellular again and ask for the gsm unlock code.

U.S. Cellular won't give me an unlock code because they say it's unlocked and there's nothing they can do. I found out that the phone was originally on republic wireless, the fcc stamp says the model is xt1094. That being said, I have no idea how the previous owner got it to work on us cellular as republic wireless phones use hybrid calling software that doesn't work with other carriers. Either way, the sim is still locked and it's stuck on us cellular when it shouldn't be (according to them).

If that is the case, you need the gsm unlock code from republic wireless.

Question about Using an Unlocked Sprint LG G6 on Tmobile

Hello XDA,
Do we know if we are able to flash the firmware of another carriers to the LG G6? I remember we were able to do that with the S6/S7 so that Wifi Calling and VoLTE would be fixed for users on Tmobile using an unlocked phone (Sprint unlocked phone etc). Since they had the same physical hardware.
I'll be getting a Sprint LG G6 from my job but I have tmobile, I can get it unlocked thats not a problem, but I need Wifi Calling to work. Has anyone tried to flash another carriers firmware on their LG G6 // do we know if they are the same hardware wise? Thanks in advance guys!

Is Sprint using GSM now?

The devices have been GSM capable since the S3. NVTOOLs usually has some flags you can flip to enable the bands/radio. Of course it needs to be clean ESN with Sprint, and internationally unlocked from Sprint.

Does any one know what i need to do to get my sprint lg g6 working on other carriers sprint says its unlocked but when i put at&t sim card in it does not register

Did Sprint just say it's unlocked or did they give you a code? From what I know they are suppose to give an unlock codes for Android devices and for iPhones they just unlock them. Your phone is suppose to prompt you when you put a different carrier SIM in and once you out that code in your permanent unlocked.
Can anyone second this?

I wouldn't trust Sprint. They need to give you the unlock code. I found someone to pay to do it. There are very few.

Can i get lte with Tmobile g6 but Verizon service?

I'm on Tmobile now but going to Verizon soon but would like to buy a Tmobile g6 and unlock it. So what the title says, I know service will work but will I get lte through Verizon on my Tmobile phone. I used Tmobile in Verizon phones no problem and got lte before.

It depends on what radios the Tmobile G6 supports. I believe it has a sim card slot for the smaller sim cards verizon uses. I would google tmobile g6 radio and verizon radio bands and compare.
Also if I am not mistaken you will have to unlock the phone in order for it to accept another carrier. I believe if you buy the phone outright, tmobile will send you instructions for unlocking it.

Ok. I'm ordering the factory u locked g6 with dual sim. Hopefully it fully support cdma

I would also be interested in knowing if it would work or not.

T-Mobile generally requires a device be on their service for 40 days before unlocking it. Something to keep in mind.

once unlocked you should be able to use LTE, but only for data. Most likely it will NOT support VoLTE (HD voice ) and VoWiFi.

I bought a used tmobile lg g6, used the unlock app to permanently unlock, but can't get it to work on verizon network. I inserted my verizon sim card but just tells me network is unavailable

Verizon refused to accept the imei for my t mobile G6. So I refused to remain a Verizon customer.
