Hi,
I received an LG G6 LS993 as a gift at work. I have T-Mobile and would love to know if there is a way to have it unlocked.
Thanks
I would like to know this too, I just got a Sprint LG G6 and have Tmobile. Every unlocking website that I go to says they can't do it. Anyone have a solution?

If you don't know what you are talking about please do not respond. Way too much WRONG information out there concerning unlocking Sprint phones. Yes, this phone can be unlocked for GSM sim card use, as can every LG G-Series phone from Sprint starting with the G2. This can be proven with a quick google search so I wont bother with doing the leg work you obviously failed to do before you gave this person an incorrect answer. As for specific method for the G6, we are still working on it. You should check back with the forum periodically for updates.

So you say yes, but there's no way to do it?
Aren't there limitations in compatibility between Tmo networks and Sprint? Isn't the Sprint version CDMA based while the Tmo GSM? Or do they have both radios and it's merely enabling them?
Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk
Every Sprint phone since 2016 has GSM radios and the frequency bands necessary for T-Mobile (and AT&T). Normally to get Sprint phones unlocked they have to be paid for outright (no contracts or device payment plans remaining) at which point they normally unlock them automatically. If this criteria is all met, then you should be good to go by popping in a T-Mobile SIM. Otherwise if it's still locked then it most likely is still under payment. Past history with unlocking Sprint phones has proven it to be a difficult endeavor when going through third-party, so more luck to you if that's the route you have to go.

All Sprint phones capable of LTE are automatically unlocked after they are paid for and can be used on almost any GSM carrier as the bands usually match up. They have the SIM ports necessary for other networks, used for LTE capability on Sprint.
Easily unlocked
Sometimes if you just call Sprint and ask for the UICC unlock code they'll just give it to you.

It's automatically unlocked once it's paid off. If you got it as a gift, it's already unlocked.

That's possible, and if they didn't unlock it then he should still be able to call Sprint and they'd probably give it to him if it's ESN is clear.

Lg g6 and lg v30 now succussfully unlocked. Working on remote solution....not likely.
I have converted the LG G6 and LG V30+ from Sprint, model numbers LS993 and LS998 to unlocked firmware versions of the same phone, the AS998 and H873 versions. This is done with an unlocking tool, it is not free but the tool is well worth its salt..... This tool can be found with a bit of searching so I am not going to disclose it here and get this thread shut down or otherwise. Suffice it to say no IMEI change is required as has been erroneously stated elsewhere, the phone acts exactly like the stock version (with no bloat at all) as far as I can tell .......and I do this for a living.....lol. I am sending this reply with a Sprint V30 unlocked without Sprints help and on the Simple Mobile(T-mobile) network. Currently getting the expected throttled to 20mbps speed I've typically gotten with LTE on a T-Mobile mvno.
It does spike to 60+mbps before settling at 20 so the speed limitation is definitely the network(my cheap ass) and not the phone or flash.
I am working on a remote solution and will notify if I am able to overcome the speed requirement needed vs risk to phone brick ratio down to a level I feel comfortable with. I do NOT like not having the phone in my hand when working on it..... I would be happy to share info for shipping to my shop so that I can unlock your Sprint phones, feel free to message me.

You can call Sprint and have the SIM card officially unlocked. If you are a new customer you have to wait 90 days before they let you do this though, if you're an old customer it shouldn't be a problem.

From what I understand Sprint has to do something on their end to unlock the SIM. It will only work on overseas networks too, they aren't unlocking it for domestic networks.

I'm not trying to sound like a **** but just want to make the note that I have a Sprint Blackberry Tour 9630 from 2009 which cam SIM unlocked and is currently being used domestically with a T-Mobile SIM card.
I also have a Samsung Galaxy S4 and am really hoping they will allow for it to be SIM unlocked for domestic use as well. At least they didn't ship it with a locked bootloader.

Sorry, I didn't know about the Blackberry. Maybe because Blackbaerrys are somewhat unusual devices they made an exception. In any case, that would make it the only Sprint GSM device that I have ever heard of that was capable of operating in the US. All iOS and Androids have always been blocked for usage in the US. That said though, there have been hacks to some of them which enabled US use, though sometimes at the expense of not being able to use the device with CDMA while the hack was in place (meaning they couldn't be used on Sprint).
Hello, guys.
Who looking to unlock own Samsung S4 Sprint - please send to me PM. I have one way which shall to be checked. I'm still don't havemy own Sprint's S4 on hands to check if this way will works

Yep... it was a fruitless venture.
it would be great if we could get the sim unlocked for domestic use.
I'd be happy with unlocking it for non US GSM providers at the moment, I find it ridicules that I have to wait 90 days after having the account with Sprint for 2 years. It is a new phone and I need to travel now.
Anyways if there is any way to unlock it I'd like to know.
FYI for those with AT&T version of LG G4 and can't wait to unlock the phone to use with other GSM carriers, I found a good seller of unlock codes on ebay. It only costs $4.25. I got the code within a couple of hours and it worked on the first try.
Go to ebay and search for item 121669425147.
Have fun with the new-found freedom!

The ETF promotion requires you to turn in your phone. Or did you have another phone you were going to trade in?
Personally I requested a code from my provider O2 UK for free although it can take a week for them to supply it but as its not urgent for me currently.
Funny the code arrived shortly after this post. G4 now unlocked.
I'm fuzzy on why someone wants to bring an AT&T phone over to T-Mobile. Won't you have issues with the data bands being incompatible? Isn't it just easier to use a T-Mobile phone on their network?
I got the phone for $200 on contract. That's my incentive to bring phone over. Tmo promo says we can trade in any phone - I plan to trade a flip phone.
Any color if certain dial pad combinations have to be entered to get to network unlock screen?

I did the similar thing dumping Verizon for T-Mo. I had talked to the sales rep a few times and when I went in to switch he didn't even ask for a phone. But he did say that I could bring in any working phone, including a flip phone as long as it powered up.
I was able to get my Verizon Samsung S4 not only to work with T-Mo but also got it on Band 4 so I was able to get on the faster network. The download speed on my S4 on T-mo's Band 4 was nearly twice as fast as Verizon's fast band.

There are other methods but they cost a fee and honestly I don't know how legal they are although they do work. There was an article on xda about a week ago about an unlocking website. I forgot the link though but it costs about 10-15 dollars.
EDIT: Here is a link to the xda article https://www.xda-developers.com/benefits-carrier-unlocking/ also no prices on the site that they mentioned but I have found unlocks for the above price. I just don't trust them. I feel that is easier and safer to go through your carrier.

Hello,
I'm outside of USA.
I have unlocked Sprint LG G6 using service from ebay.
For now I can use GSM sim card and make a calls. I configured APN and data turns ON and web browsing is working fine.
BUT messangers works very strange... telegram sends only text, not photos, viber not works at all....
Why? It's sprint specific setting like tunneling/proxy? How I can remove it? Any workarrounds?
I can pay if anybody can resolve this issue
so I was given an off contract, paid off, clean IMEI, TMobile locked LG v20 918. from a friend moving out of country From my reading and understanding you need to use the TMobile SIM unlock app to unlock the phone for use on other carriers and in order to use that app successfully you need to be a current TMobile customer with an active SIM.
I'm an ATT customer so I don't have a TMobile SIM handy to try but I tried to do the SIM unlock with my ATT SIM card which did not work. I unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone and tried a few different ROMs to see what happened but none of those had any effect. The SIM unlock program also wont even run correctly until the phone is fully on stock with a locked bootloader so that's where i'm back to at the moment (on 10j)
Do I have any options other than finding a friend/coworker/etc that has a current TMobile account and SIM to try and use that to carrier unlock the phone? Has anyone had any luck getting someone at a TMobile store to take care of it?
Thanks!

Appreciate the answers and that's what I figured. I did a little googling on unlock services and there are a few that claim to provide an unlock still via the unlock app route but charge 150 dollars plus for the service so that would certainly be an expensive gamble that really isn't worth it.

He's asking for a SIM unlock, not bootloader unlock, and the Verizon device (as he mentioned, just added a 0 to the model #) gets unlocked naturally after you insert an active SIM into it. Do you know anyone in the US with a Verizon account? It should take a few minutes.

Hi,
An update from unlockunit.com:
Hi Hackerjj,
Unfortunately, if you cannot find your Phone Model, Country or Network listed on our website, we are unable to generate the unlocking codes for your device.
If you get the message ‘’Unavailable’’ after entering the order details on our website, one of the below situations may occur:
1. Your phone is locked within a CDMA and not a GSM network (you can check on www.gsmarena.com if your phone is a CDMA model)
2. Your phone is not part of the networks/countries that we currently unlock
In order to receive the correct unlock code, it’s very important that you select the correct country and network you originally bought your phone from. In case you place an order with the incorrect order details, we will not be able to refund your payment.
We are constantly improving our service and we hope that very soon we will start to offer unlocking codes for devices locked to Verizon, U.S.A. such as yours.
Thank you for your collaboration and we apologize we couldn't help you this time.
Have a great day!
Kind regards,
Ionut Z.

I don't believe it would change your IMEI.
It needs an active Verizon sim in it for 24 to 48 hours before it will umlock. Once unlocked it should receive a message saying so.

Thanks! - I do not have any Verizon chip, probably I can buy one from eBay, but one thing is that probably does not be activated due I am right now on Mexico. Thanks again!

not true.. i never understood why people will come in here and trust anything anyone says when it comes to sim unlocking lol..
verizon unlock policy states to prevent theft/fraud users are required to activate the device with verizon then after 60 days the device will be unlocked..
if his verizon purchased g975u was never activated on verizon then he hasnt even started his 60 day wait period.. verizon specifically implemented this policy because of people doing what the op is doing... purchase a phone for cheap somehow then use it on some other carrier/network without ever using verizon..
i am sure they had lots of theft and fraud going on with users scamming vzw devices for cheap then reselling for profit since they were unlocked theyd work anywhere out thebox so thisis their way of trying to combat that..

Thanks! I had bought a Verizon Sim, it is on the way, I think I will receive it in 2 weeks, after that we will know it the cellphone is unlockable. This is the last thing I can do, I think this cellphone is un-rootable also a pain. Another way is to use this provider, but I have not completely trust and is very expensive. https://store.unlockboot.com/remote-unlock-service/
