Hello, my friend from Israel want's the G2, and we got some questions.
His provider is Orange by the way.
He wants to buy one on Ebay and a lot of them already come unlocked.
Is this trustworthy? I've been hearing a lot of G2's don't work when unlocked.
Also, unlocked means he can insert is SIM card and it should work?
Also, if he does buy a locked version. Is it possible for me to go to a T-Mobile store and ask them to unlock it for me?
Also, does anyone know if it will work in Israel?
Another also, would you guys even recommend this phone? I thought that this would be the best android phone out there.
If it's not, what other Android phone should he get?
I own the EVO by the way

I like the Evo, but Sprint services sucks. The sprint 4g doesn't even compare to tmo 3g ( I've done extensive testing with my bro's Evo to my Touch Pro 2 and whooped his ass every speed test, execept in St. Cloud we were in the boonies)

It is my understanding that unlocking your handheld without permission from your carrier has become illegal. You could only unlock your device with your carrier's permission. In any case, I think it is still kind of early to come up with a way of unlocking the device without the device being available to the masses.
T-Mobile and Sprint to do not lock their bootloaders. AT&T only started doing it lately and it's pretty random. They did lock the S4 bootloader, so I'm expecting the N3's to be locked as well. Verizon always locks their bootloaders. There's underground pre-planning going on right now, but the devices will need to be in hand to start tinkering effectively.
I believe he means sim unlock for use on other carriers!

SIM Unlock
If you are talking about SIM unlock I believe both will be unlocked according to the description on negrielectronics.com

If I'm not mistaken, the FCC pushed for the reversal of this.
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/05/technology/fcc-urges-a-right-to-unlock-cellphones.html
Regardless, if I own the device, I have no problem breaking a law I feel is unjust and unlocking it. Not to mention the fact that I do not reside in the US, so the law would not apply to me. I plan on unlocking mine on day one. Either via some "special menu" which is often found or a paid service.
I may be incorrect but I did read somewhere that they were making different versions for each country and that the one version cannot be used in the other countries.

You can call sprint. If your phone is payed off and in good standing they will give you the iccid unlock code so you can use another sim card.

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.

I have been wondering if this is possible on Verizon. I'm considering purchasing a clean ESN Sprint G6 and unlocking it to use on Verizon. Do you know if this is doable?

before purchasing ask for IMEI and contact verizon to see if they will allow a foreign ESN on their network. Verizon G6 is factory unlocked

So I went into settings and requested a uicc unlock and it told me it was unlocked. Is that it? Or is there something else that needs to be done? I put in my att sim and it let me make a call but no internet even after adding the att apn settings
I've been with sprint forever and my line is out of contract FYI

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
Hi guys.
I've got G6 LS993 ZV9, It's unlocked for Domestic use only, but I need it to work internationally, like in different Country, since I'm outside of US.
Can anyone help me with Unlocking the device?!
I'm gonna pay if someone's gonna help.
Thank you!
***(Sprint didn't do it for me).
Are you sure your phone doesn't have a region lock on iMod Edit
Because you do not need to pay anything for region lock. All you have to do is to place or receive a 5-minute call with the specified region SIM card inserted into the phone.
