Will everything work taking a AT&T branded G Flex To T-Mobile? Wanting to pick one up but all I see are AT&T versions..wanting T-Mobiles $30/month prepaid plan from Walmart.
Anyone?
If you unlock it. And I'm not talking about the bootloader. There are forums about SIM unlocking on here.
So if I sim unlock it a AT&T g flex will work on t-mobile for everything?
I'm not sure I don't have an att but yes that's the theory.

the at&t g flex works perfectly on tmobile, but you have to unlock it first... how? in my case i paid less than 2 dolars in ebay and i got an unlock code in a few hours (when you put the tmobile sim card you will get a message that says network locked and it will ask you to enter the unlock code)..
so go and get it.

Hey all.
I ordered a moto X about 2 weeks ago, i got the unlocked Tmobile version that was on sale for 350$
anyway i live abroad and i was sure that i would be able to use the phone here (like the moto G) but i cant, it seems that the phone is ONLY unlocked for US carriers.
So my questions are:
1) is there an easy way for me to unlock it Globally for free? (Tmobile said they can do it but only from a store in the US).
2) I saw people can buy unlock codes, but my phone does not show that it is unlocked so i'm not sure if that will work..?
Any help would be very appreciated!
Tevie.
If you have the tmobile version then the phone is already sim/provider unlocked.
Which phone exactly did you get and what specific problem are you having?

I got the moto x from moto maker (picked the unlocked T-Mobile version)
The problem is that its not unlocked for Sim abroad, only in the U.S . I wanted to know how I can get it to work with a Sim not from the U.S
TMO version is supposed to be unlocked for any carrier. How do you know that it is not the case? Did you try to put non-US SIM card and it failed?

I know my friend in Belgium who ordered it and its working fine with his Belgium Sim. Try to put the SIM in and see how it goes. It should work.

Thanks for the replay's.
I did put a local Sim in the phone and it could not register to a local networked (the same Sim worked in a different phone )
Note that it found the local networks just can't log to them.
Note 2 . TM told me that its locked for use abroad ...
It is 100% unlocked, there is no partial lock on the phone. If the phone can't register with your provider there is a different problem not related to sim locking.
I'm using my T-Mobile X in the Caribbean all fine with no hiccups or issues. Maybe it needs the APN.

I bought the T-mobile version form Moto maker, and without a problem put a Base nano sim in it. Works fine. Strangely enough it shows 4G almost everywhere... Wonder if that is correct?

Does it jsut show the 4G symbol or the 4G with the small LTE next to it? If you have HSPA service, you will see 4G.
4G it shows, which in Belgium is HSPA+

I just recently bought a sprint lg g4 (ls991) (returned, open box) (ZVA) from eBay, that I want to use on my freedompop sim card from my Nexus 5, this was labeled sprint with a white background and some (probably) sensitive information. If you don't already know, Freedompop is a mvno on the sprint network. I don't have a sprint plan, so calling them to unlock it would (probably) not work.
Should I buy a different g4, if so which version?
Should I try calling sprint?
Should I try unlocking my other phone (moto e 2015 vzw) and use the sim in there?
Should I ask you?
If you have an answer or need just a bit more information I will be happy to reply to your comment, thanks! Also do the poll.

OK, thanks I'll try that
I'm looking to buy a LG G4 on eBay and then activate on freedompop. Is there any reason why it won't work?
On the FP forum there's this post: https://forums.freedompop.com/discussion/12814/byod-what-sim-card-do-i-need-for-my-byod-handset
The G4 is listed so won't it work?
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.
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.

I bought a boost G6 play and am looking to upgrade. If I ask Sprint for the Sim unlock will it work automatically with Verizon simor will I need to also bootloader unlock, root and adjust APNs?
Thanks
*Update. Sprint unlocked the phone and when I put an old Verizon sim card in it, it loaded VZW network, and went to their activation portal. Seems to be confirmed working!
