Yes, Unlock for about $2 on eBay. Will work with Tmo & ATT, and their MVNOs. You may, or may not, need to switch to 3G for first call to register (I had to), then you can switch back to LTE without any further problems. You also may need to manually add APN, but I did not need to.
It's a pretty solid phone and can be had for $40 at Walmart, or price-match elsewhere. Really stinks that the bootloader can't be unlocked. I didn't think it would bother me...but it really does. Oh well, I knew it before I bought it. Will be a good backup.

Have you tried entering your APN manually? Try Googling Tmobile apn settings.
Others are getting it to work on Tmo.. https://slickdeals.net/f/10418732-s...w-free-store-pickup?p=103877488#post103877488

Maybe your SIM card is activated on another phone. Happened to me on MetroPCS. I put in a SIM that was activated on another phone...it worked fine for about 5 mins., then all service was removed and it said Emergency Calls Only. You really should try entering the APN manually, if you haven't done so already. I'm now using Cricket with no problems at all.

I think that's the issue. Same thing happened to me. I tried to use my gf's SIM from MetroPCS in mine. It worked for like 5 mins and then lost service. MetroPCS doesn't recognize this phone for some reason because it is a Verizon phone. You could call them and try to add it to your account. Cricket picked it up easily. I just had to do a lot of searching for the correct APN.

Call MetroPCS and register your SIM to your E4, go with Cricket, Straight Talk, or Total Wireless. There's always a possibility that Metro won't allow your Verizon E4 on their network because they want you to buy theirs. I'm sure...as you know, theirs don't even have a fingerprint reader.

I'm looking to buy a Dev edition Verizon S5. My network is bluegrass cellular which is a small carrier that piggybacks off of the Verizon towers. My question is if I purchase this phone will it work with my network? My net uses Sim cards and I miss the days when putting it in the phone was all it took haha. The phone my network sells specifically is the SM-G900R6 which I'm guessing will have almost 0 Dev support and I seriously miss rooting :crying: and aokp and cyanogenmod ect

Well, if you have a Bluegrass Phone, and Bluegrass SIM, then I do not see why it wouldn't run the 4G if that is something your carrier offers. If Verizon has the 4G there, and your carrier offers it as an option, then I would think you will be fine.

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
Has anyone activated their Moto G5 Plus with Verizon? I am wanting to do that myself but need to know if the phone is compatible with the network. Has anyone had any issues with Verizon service on their device? I would like to hear anything, even the most trivial issues. But pros are welcome as well, I'm jus more concerned about the cons. Thanks!
After rooting my phone, I just popped in my sim card from my old Verizon Note 4 to my new Moto G5+. Everything runs fine. There was no activation process. My Note 4 had a micro-sim, so I had to trim it down to nano-sim size, but that was easy.
Same, mine just worked when I popped the sim in. People are reporting bad voice quality on phone calls with VOLTE (verizon's HD voice). But you can disable that until there's hopefully a fix.

Thanks for the responses. I don't think I'll ever use VoLTE, and that issue can probably be patched with an OTA relatively easily. So I can just activate by using my old SIM? sounds deceptively easy... Does the phone automatically add APNs as well?

I believe you need a sim card. It isn't like it use to be before they had LTE. Your best bet is go to a verizon store, get a sim and have them activate it or get one online and have them do it over the phone.

Just head over to a Verizon store and buy a SIM. I recommend activating the SIM with a different phone and just putting it in the G5 when done. Big Red/Big Brother hates unlocked phones and freedom, so give 'em what they want - a Verizon-branded phone - then transfer it over.

Thanks, after going to 2 different Verizon stores I got it activated. What they did was create a phantom phone in the system under my account, created the sim card and added my G5 to it. Works fine. You are right, Verizon hates when get phones from other Vendors. That's why some employees act so clueless when you try to activate them. I was lucky to find a employee that was knowledgeable enough and willing to do this.

Do keep in mind that if you switch to a custom rom, you will be unable to use Verizon's Visual Voicemail service. You'll have to rely on the stock dialer for that.
Great. Sounds like how the non Verizon pixel works on Verizon. Same deal, just need a preactivated sim. Sounds like due to the volte bug, no 4g video chat.
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.

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.

My point is that Att knows that I have an Essential phone ( we installed the sims in the store) and in fact I have 2 of them on my account and they both use LTE. I have seen the H show up when traveling down I70 in Eastern Kansas but is almost always says LTE. Maybe I am misunderstanding the issue here. Here are my APN settings.
Edit: I also am set to Global under prefered network types. Where I live the Speed seems much faster than set on 4G/LTE from my speed tests 45Mb vs 20Mb not sure if that is scientific or not.

I have an idea tell me if you think it'll work. I just re read the thread that kinda explains this. I go back to at&t and have them put a new sim card in my old Zenfone 2, which is micro SD. It is unlocked and I had 4G working on it. Then cut the sim card and put it in the essential phone and Bam. What do you think? Or is it already in this "database"?

You mean 4G is now supported? The phone has always been supported.

Yes while you could use the device on AT&T as many of have it was not a recognized device by at&t. If you gave them your IMEI they wouldn't recognize the device as an official AT&T compatible device. Why some people like yourself don't get the full AT&T experience like LTE. That won't be an issue now. The essential PH-1 is an officially recognized device by AT&T.
So do I need a new sim now? I've been messing around with settings and still can't get 4G.
