Any ideas?
I ran network setup but still doesnt work.

Hello
So I've been having issues with my S4. It's neverlocked and it's been working fine with Romanian carriers. Yesterday I have arrived in the UK and my roaming wasn't working, it wouldn't register on any network (I know for sure it's activated because it works in other phones). I've bought an EE sim with a pay as you go plan and it's not working. It's registering on the network, everything is fine, the internet connection is working fine but it won't make/receive any calls or send/receive texts. As soon as I press the Call button, it says call ended and nothing happens. The funny thing is that 3g internet is working fine. I went to an EE store today and they tried the sim in an HTC and everything was working great, so it's not on their end.
I did a factory reset, I've reflashed the rom via Odin, still nothing. Is there any solution for this problem?
Check your APN settings? Something may not be set correctly.
I have the Verizon model of the S6 Edge+ (SM-G928V) I want to know if it's possible to flash it with the t-mobile rom??
I currently have a T-mobile MicroSIM that i put into the verizon phone. I had to configure it with the t-mobile APN to get calls/text to work. Currently I have a few issues:
1) I can make & receive calls, send & receive texts, but CANNOT send mms, but i can recieve mms sent to me. (I tried to see if enabling wifi would make a difference but it doesn't)
2) I get an annoying message anytime the phone reboots that says I'm not using a verizon wireless SIM. (if anyone knows how to get rid of that, great. if not it's not such big of a deal)
3) How to remove the Verizion boot loading screen??
Do I run the risk of bricking or tripping knox if i try to use a t-mobile rom on a verizion phone? Or does anyone know how to resolve any of the issues i'm having? Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance. (and No, just getting the t-mobile version of phone is not an option for me)

You cannot rom that phone because Verizon nazis lock all bootloaders on all their devices. As for the sending mms you'll probably need to take it to a t-mobile store and have them sim unlock and flash their full apn. That should do it but I can't say for sure since I've never used a Verizon phone on t-mobile
So just to update: The issue with not being able to send mms messages is because of the Message+ app that was set as default messaging app (factory reset setting). When I changed the messaging app to the "Messages" Samsung app I'm able to send&receive mms with no issues. (Please note the proper APN settings must be set)
The other issues such as the loading screen and the SIM notification I'm not too worked about, but if you have any help on those that should be great.
The only *real* issues with using t-mobile sum card with vzw phone is that the service isn't all that great, I seem to have 3g in some areas where I can't send mms while on the phone, but other than that it works well on an unlocked phone.

I believe the radios in verizon phones don't cover all the band's that t-mobile uses. However t-mobile phones tend to run pretty well on Verizon so your signal issues will continue until t-mobile launches band 12 in your area, which is the primary band that Verizon uses for Lte
Samsung lists band 12 on their site for the Verizon S6e+.
Swipe left or right to get rid of the SIM message. I've posted a similar thread here too.

Just as the title says, has anyone successfully used an unlocked, Verizon branded LG G6 (VS988) with a third party sim (for data and making phone calls? Which country are you in, which sim cards are you using, any attempts abroad/traveling, etc?
Bought a mint unlocked Verizon LG G6, confirmed it was unlocked by two Verizon reps over the phone, and one in-person Verizon rep in my city. With the in-person rep (as well as on my own of course), we could not get my T-mobile, Three (a UK sim), and Project Fi to work with the phone, for data/phone/SMS.
Not surprisingly, when he inserted a Verizon Sim, of course it worked. The rep genuinely tried his best to help, but in the end was like "sorry, ¯_(ツ)_/¯ " and said it was probably an unresolveable network problem, and yes, that the phone was definitely unlocked (checked his database).
Before I came to his shop, though, I spent a couple hours at home tinkering with ALL the phone settings (set up a verified APN, toggle global/LTE-GSM-CDMA options, set data roaming ON), and the best I could get was the G6 successfully connecting to T-Mobile for all of 30 seconds (I could surf the web, but NO phone calls), then losing all bars of connection and cutting out entirely. Toggling airplane mode allows you to connect for at most 30 seconds at a time, also, weirdly enough.
What gives? I confirmed the sim cards worked on my other unlocked devices (LG G5, 1+5, Xiaomi Redmi), and I really want to use this G6 here (USA), but more especially, while I am traveling abroad and looking to use whatever country's local sim cards.
Lastly, do you think rooting this phone and installing a custom ROM would help the issue? I prefer not to return this phone because I got a decent deal on it (through ebay's 20% off) and everything else about it is awesome.
Hi
While not strictly the same, I have Verizon LG V20 VS995 with a similar problem with my EE sim which will not register properly and when it does it is only 3G instead of 4G/LTE but keeps dropping off. Where I differ from you is that I can use an O2 sim and get both calls and 4G/LTE data with it. I live in UK. Hope this might help.

My G6 is the unlocked us997, but the wifes is the Verizon Unlocked G6. UNFORTUNATELY I have yet to get her MMS messages working on it for her but everything else works perfectly fine, on TracFone sim (on AT&T network), ... And FYI, only the bootloader unlocked LG G6 can be rooted, all the carrier version, whether they're network locked or unlocked, they're most definitely bootloader locked, thus no root :<P
I got the same phone as you...I live in the Dominican Republic using a Claro chip...Bought the phone from ebay unlocked. So there is something you must talk with verizon so they unlock it. On the other hand we cant root our phones only the europe and US version can be rooted.
Have you checked if this phone has a region locked on it? And if it's removed by placing that 5 minutes-long phone call?
Also, once the SIM (non-Verizon SIM) did you check the APN settings if they are the correct one for your carrier?
I have a similar problem
I bought an unlocked Verizon G6 vs988 on ebay (the listing actually said US997).
I managed to get it to work for phone calls and sms but could not set the data.
I manually set the APN but it would not stay "chosen".
I got all the settings but when I chose it and closed the screen it got unchosen (unchecked) and I did not get a data connection.
is there any custom rom for this model?
would a firmware for the us997 work on this model?
Bump

If you are in U.S. it should work fine with AT&T and T-mobile, as long as correct APN has been entered. once you enter the new APN, you must select the 3dots, on top right and save, once the new SIM inserted, just go back to APN and select the correct APN.
If you are outside U.S, the LG G6 Verizon unlocked does not have B1 (2100) which is required by most GSM carriers out side US, so you can get 3G or in most cases 2G (E) network only. LG G6 AT&T unlocked works fine outside US, but it does not have CDMA technology and can't be use with Verizon or Sprint. hope that helps
Hi , I have a similar problem. I bought vs988 verizon version and popped in a MINT sim. I had issues setting it up but eventually got it work via the pull down menu in the 'settings' at the top that said 'mobile data off - turn on?' - now this has vanished- can I get this back ?
The mobile data button in the notification tab and the actualy mobile button in the mobile data section in 'settings' do not work (and never have) - they always ask me to contact verizon.
So what do i do ? I have no mobile data now. And it's a pain.
My issue is partially solved in that when I 'reset network settings' and then re-add my APN (for mint) it automatically turns on mobile data. Using the other 'mobile data' buttons (as I mention below do not work).
And now that mobile data is on - I use airplane mode to turn it off, and turn on wifi (because i have google voice I still get voice calls). Anyway this works if you have a similar problem.
I am wondering if this issue would exist if I used a Verizon MVNO (instead of Mint/t-mobile) ?
(so by it being offically "unlocked" actually is not really true - when i first bought the phone I messaged LG and they suggested i needed to send it into them so it could be re-flashed. They would charge me for it and I would lose my phone for about 2 weeks - which is a pain, and not worth the expense)

I have the verizon version of lg g6 and it works perfectly fine in Nigeria with all nigerian sims:mtn,airtel,glo,9mobile and even works on 4g let but I set the network mode to global and I receive calls and sms promptly
Hey guys I was just messing around with my phone and I was trying to make sure it was unlocked before sending it in on trade-in. Well I seen there was a code you could dial that would get rid of branding as well which was ##brand##, well after I did that I for some reason cannot make/recieve phone calls or SMS/MMS messages. I have data via LTE and it shows my network as cricket but when I look at my phone info it doesn't show my phone number. What do I need to do to fix this? I tried restarting/reinserting the SIM card but none of that worked.
