With the Verizon MVNO called Red Pocket, my US Cellular US996.UCL can't use LTE (only CDMA and EVDO). After calling the MVNO and telling them the IMEI, they say that this IMEI isn't "certified" or "eligible" with its CDMA network.
Anyone know what's up with this?

I have read all the guides for unlocking the SIM for GSM networks. But What I'm trying to do is use my Sprint LG G2 LS980 on my Verizon Account.
I have gotten the unlock SML from Sprint for the device and I know both networks are CDMA, so I should be able to put in a Verizon Sim, enter unlock code, the BOOM! Have my Verizon plan.
But when I insert the Verizon SIM card into the phone it says "No SIM card - Emergency calls only"
Why wont it even detect that there is a SIM card in the device.

It won't work anyway...the voice network is CDMA, meaning that the serial number needs to be whitelisted by Verizon for the device to work. Unlocking only works for GSM devices; you might be able to use it on AT&T or T-Mobile (3G mode) since the UMTS network should work there.

Call the new network now so you can port it from the old network
For all Verizon MVNO customers (Page Plus, Straight Talk w/VZW sim, ROK Mobile w/VZW sim, etc)
are you able to get a data connection while you are talking on the phone? I ask this because we are unable to activate "Advanced Calling 1.0"
I'm on Verizon (not sure what MVNO is) and I was able to get "simultaneous data and voice" only after adding "advanced calling" feature to my number..
Check to see if you have enhanced LTE turned on under Cellular Network. I dont have MVNO but, I am on Verizon.

its turned on
I'm pretty sure the mvno through verizon don't get enhanced calling.
What is odd is that the 5x doesn't do simultaneous connections for me, but verizon branded phones like the m8 and the desire do
Do all you Verizon people have the cell network on Global or something else like LTE/CDMA?
Global while in US. GSM while travelling international . Been doing that for 3 years, I always get better service that way.
So I got my unlocked T-Mobile [d801] G2 working on Verizon 4G LTE. I just can't make calls or send SMS. Is this because it has to go over CDMA or something?
I'm still using the T-mobile ROM. Vzw LTE works fine - like hangouts phone calls and web sites.
Just curious about this.
I'm going to the UK (London) soon, I don't expect to have 4G but I should get 3G on the 2100MHz band according to "willmyphonework".
Does Verizon require you to call in and register the phone imei?
No I just had to add the APN info and "register" on the network via the phone. I had some issues with the LG G2 due to its poor radio, but that doesn't represent the entire process which is usually quick and easy.
I have a SM-935 U device and have been using on the AT&T network. I recently switched to Verizon MVNO (US Mobile). The phone doesn't get registered on the Verizon network. I bought the unlocked S7 edge from best buy thinking that it will work on all carriers. Any help will be appreciated.
The SM-935U do work on all carriers. I have a SM-935V with U firmware on it. I'm with a Verizon MVNO named Total Wireless. Sounds like the phone you go from Best Buy is stilled registered under AT&T...
Not getting registered to Verizon network
When I check the IMEI of my phone against the Verizon compatibility check using their web site, it is fully compatible. The issue is that phone is not getting registered to the Verizon network. I think Verizon is blocking it some how and the MVNO is not able to help me to resolve this.
You ever figure out a solution out to this?

The LTE should work fine, but youll have to set the APN correctly, otherwise it wont get any data, for the CDMA portion youll have to submit the ESN to Verizon to add your ESN IMEI to their database.
I got a us996. I popped in my sim card, added an APN, and changed my imei. I got data but no mms or calls. I've searched around a bit but I couldn't find much. If anyone has a work around or knows a solution let me know.
Appreciate it
I would be surprised to see a US996 work on the Sprint network (I happen to own both LS997 ZV7 and US996 USA models). It is known to work on Verizon, but I've never heard of anyone using it on Sprint.
First, the phone's IMEI would have to be whitelisted by Sprint. You can use various Sprint IMEI checkers to verify - Ting's BYOD checker works well for this: If the IMEI is clean, then it will tell you the phone will work on their CDMA network.
And don't you need to do a specific activation process for all phones on Sprint? Just transferring a SIM card between phones is not enough.
Also, I don't think any of the US996 variants have all of Sprint's LTE bands (they seem to lack bands 26 and 41), so even if you get it to work, your LTE signal coverage won't be very good.

I just changed the IMEI to my sprint model to get the Sim card to work. I can get data but can't send MMS or make calls (besides it saying it's forwarding me to a Sprint operator). So I know I can make calls, it's just not setup right.
That's where I think the activation features of a Sprint-branded phone (hands-free activation, profile update, PRL update) come in. Without those or some magic action of a Sprint employee, you're probably out of luck. Unfortunately, there is no LS997 KDZ firmware out there; otherwise, you may have been brave enough to try to cross-flash that onto your US996.
