Hope this is a simple fix.
I just got the h910 (at&t version) on eBay. But when I put my Three mobile sims I can't make calls, it just says 'emergency calls only'.
Has anyone here had success with this phone in the uk?
Any advice welcome
I'm guessing this is possibly a band issue but I'm out of my depth.
Sorry to bump but I really need advice or I'll have to return the phone

Hallo everyone!
I've just bought my Verizon Droid Pro and at first day have big problem with it Maybe someone had similar and can help me.
When my phone is in 3G coverage everything runs OK but if it switches to 2G i'm not able to place any call. When i'm pressing the dialpad i can hear dtmf tones but when i want to connect i can't hear anything or the system reboots. When someone calling me i'm also unable to hear anything. Most interesting is fact when i put the SIM from antoher network problem gone. I not checked every providers but two different sim from T-MOBILE POLAND not working.
I've flashed back to 2.26, 4.68, CM7, 3Ghack and baseband switcher - NO ANY EFFECTS. In any rom cannot place any call in 2G mode
I called Tmobile and they told me there is standard 900mhz coverage the same like in PLUS (another poland provider which runs me without any problems in 2G)
Motorola Service tells me that they are able only to put european software in the phone ?! and US warranty is not working in europe
maybye someone have knowledge about RadioComm software - what can i test to chceck this bug
another question: if i put for example VRZ_XT610_4.6.8_user_signed_1FF.sbf by RSDLite5.6
is my radio settings back to stock or not?
I'm asking because i followed the steps in
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22816363
and wondering is these settings permanent or not.
maybye there is another radio file to flash there?
thanks in advance for help
I have a Vzw LG G2 VS980 that I currently use with Red Pocket on the Vzw network, and I previously used it on Tracfone, also on the Vzw network, and everything worked normally.
I also successfully used it with Red Pocket on the AT&T network as well as with an old Lycamobile legacy SIM, using the T-Mo network.
The problem I'm having is that I can't get cellular data to work using a Piranha Mobile or FreedomPop Global SIM card.
There are no error messages displayed, and I'm able to make voice calls with the Piranha Mobile SIM card. The FreedomPop Global SIM card doesn't come with traditional voice service, but there are bars of service showing.
The APNs are correct:
For Piranha Mobile, I'm using openroamer.com .
For FreedomPop, I'm using freedompop.foggmobile.com .
The Vzw LG G2 VS980 is rooted, but running stock 5.0.2. I rolled it back to stock 4.2.2, but cellular data still wouldn't work with the above SIMs. I also tried a custom ROM, and still nothing.
Can anybody suggest something to try to get cellular data to work with the above SIM cards? I'd greatly appreciate it!
I should also add that I DID enable global roaming in settings, and I did play with all of the System select>>Network mode settings, to no avail.
Also, even if people reading my question don't have an answer, if you could suggest some way to contact someone that could help, I'd be very grateful. Thanks again!
Isn't there any help available for my issue? Thanks.
I sure could use some help in figuring out how to fix this problem. Thanks!
Did you ever figure this out? I am experiencing the same problem

Unfortunately, no.
My LG G2 also was difficult to get activated on Vzw MVNOs. I used it on 2 Vzw MVNOs, and both times, it wouldn't activate the SIM card properly. Both MVNOs had to do quite a bit of work to get it to activate properly. There was no issue with the ESN/IEMI, it was just that the hardware wouldn't activate the SIM card properly.
Not only that, my LG G2 VS980 developed dead spots on the touch screen in March, 2017. It's still usable, but the dead spots make it difficult, so it is mostly retired now.
Oh, well...
I'd try getting into your G2's phone "diagnostic" menu (or whatever it's called), and doing a manual band set. That seemed to help me when I put in an AT&T SIM in my vs980.
It could also be that FreedomPop or whomever you're trying to use doesn't support the network bands that the vs980 uses.
Hi guys,
For the past week or so any call that I receive are going straight to voicemail if I'm on LTE, but I have no problems when I'm on the GSM or WCDMA networks. I can make calls if I'm on LTE, but I think the phone drops to GSM or WCDMA in order to make the call.
Anyone else having this issue? Tmobile doesn't seem to think there's anything wrong as I can still use data when I'm on LTE and suggested factory reset. I've gotten a new sim card, reset network, factory reset...nothing so far! Very frustrating.
Edit:
After further investigation it looks like Tmobile did some network change and since this phone has no way to turn on voLTE that I can find, that's what's causing the issue. At least this is my assumption. I wonder if it's because I have the India variant of the phone?? I know Tmobile supports voLTE...
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)

I have the verizon version of lg g6 and it works perfectly fine in Nigeria with all nigerian sims:mtn,airtel,glo,9mobile and even works on 4g let but I set the network mode to global and I receive calls and sms promptly
I purchased a brand new 950XL Single Sim to still use on Puretalk an ATT carrier. Strange it only drops call and will not call out? I have a prototype 950XL ss that makes calls with the same sim. The prototype is stuck on a really old version of Windows Phone.
The new phone I purchased took the entire day to update to the latest release and refuses to make a call. Texting works fine.
Any ideas?

First, ask the mobile operator of your SIM card.
Ok, I tested everything with my carrier. The new 950XL can text and surf but it will not call out. It says drop call immediately.
Any help is appreciated!
Does it drop toll free emergency number without SIM and with SIM in phone?
Did I understand correctly that it receives incoming calls?
It drops all calls. As soon as you hit the call icon it drops the call without trying. Incoming calls do not work either, they go right to voicemail. My other 950XL SS that is a ATT prototype and stuck on an early windows version calls out just fine.
It is possible that the Radio Interface Layer is partially corrupted (software, by an incorrect update or hardware).
Switch to GSM or HSPA and try.
I don't see where to do that in settings?
I tried this and it didn't fix the problem. Maybe something is corrupted? I did notice that I don't have the double tab to open screen option.
Thank you.
It seems to be because the international versions of the 950 XL do not support VoLTE.
Do you have a suggestion what firmware I should flash for success?
Just started trying to get this phone working. Does anyone have a success story with the 950xl single sim on a US based carrier?
I have that phone in Spain and I can't call too. I just rescue it and I would love to make it run.
