I bought unlocked, sim free HD2 inserted the sim of my usual Mobilink network the phone wizards automatically configured the setttings but to my strange I cannot dial or receive phone calls, I am receiving and sending sms perfectly the phone GPRS working alright tried different methods of changing band but nothing is working to dial or receive voice call. In order to check if there is problem itself with the phone I tried different network (Ufone) sim and the phone is working perfectly without any problem so I am stuck that I cannot use my network which I normally use and I dont want to switch network, if somebody can help to fix this problem.
Hi there,
Just a few days ago i bought a LG Quantum, everything seem to be working fine until everyone told me why i didn't pickup their calls. I can make calls, the 3G it's working, I can receive sms, Wifi and BT working too.
It's SIM unlocked and working on Telcel Mexico (UMTS 850)
have you tried to turn of your mobile data connection?
for edge and gprs: they are only capable of one thing at a time data or calls.
3g already does both.
Yeah I tried that, I did downgrade to NoDo and now just shows "No Service", for a few seconds have service, I tried with another providers and shows the same behavior. Its not enough with the SIM unlocking? Maybe it doesnt have the XML of the provider or I must debrand? Anybody have an idea?
For the record, now im on movistar, with the sim working on a Samsung Focus shows "movistar", on the Quantum shows "movistar-movistar"
I bought this phone few weeks ago . Its a t-mobile carrier, but unfortunately , t-mobile does not work in my country. it works with the other sim perfectly but stuck on 2g only even if i change the network modes in the settings, meanwhile my network provider has a 4g network working on other phones, Please help.
also , when i try to view phone information by entering short code *#*#4636#*#* , it pops up a message that " the application does not work on this device. what can be the problem ?
PLEASE HELP ... tHANKS
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)

Hi!
My V20 has some network problems out side the city. Internet speed is good, i can use internet in smartpfone and as hotspot. But when i need make a call, i lost network. if i can make a call, connection is terible. Other problem, when i`m driving around in countryside, I can`t make call sometimes at all. But navigation works great. When I stop, somtimes it takes 5-10 minutes while i can make a call. When i1m in city, I can call and everithings looks great.
Sorry for languade, and i`m not it specialist i
what i do so far:
Change sim: doesn`t help
Factory reset: doesn`t help
Take another operator (other number and sim): doesn`t help
Change some settings: doesn`t help
I use V20 from February, bought it from ebay, unlocked.

Your issue sounds more carrier related than phone

Contact your service provider or switch to another one

Advanced Calling
Check Settings/Advanced Calling. It needs to be switched on to be able to make calls and use the Internet at the same time. On my LG V20 US996 unlocked phone it was greyed out and turned off. I had to call my carrier (Verizon) to turn it on.
Already test with other service provider, all the same. I took from work smartphone, change sim cards and make test drive. Nothing changes.
