Did you ever figure out which variant will work in India? I've read that the Verizon one isn't sim locked, but do the GSM frequencies you need match?

Yes,i checked with Wikipedia Verizon - VS980 model matches with international edition with 2G and 3G network and it does not support for LTE(it does not a problem for me).
is it any problem to buy that mobile in USA?

Are there only two of three Korean variants which are unlocked yet? Can the F800S not be unlocked later?

Are you sure that the H990DS Korean variant can be unlocked in couple of month. If H900DS can be unlocked I will buy it in Germany now. But I must be sure that it can be unlocked later.

I'm NOT sure 100%
H990DS is NOT KOREAN
It's Taiwan Dual SIM & S_H_I_T

I advice you NEVER DO NOT buy :
H990DS ( DUAL SIM = F_U_C_K it )
BUY BELOW INTERNATIONAL MODEL NUMBER ONLY ( SINGLE SIM ) :
LG H990 V20 TD-LTE / H990TR
LINK :
https://www.frequencycheck.com/compatibility/O81Jn/lg-h990-v20-td-lte-h990tr/countries
I think it will launch in South Africa and Turkey in November

Ok I think you adviced me the Single SIM variant for better custom ROM community here in xda?
Then I will by a Single SIM variant where it's possible to go in fastboot and fastboot command work. I think H918 T-Mobile US version is the best for custom ROM community, right? Or are other Single SIM variants if rooted as good as the H918 variant?
Anyway I will not buy the Dual SIM variant.

Yes you damn right
Single SIM is for developers ONLY
If you can wait one or two month then,
1st and best option is :
International Single SIM :
LG H990 V20 TD-LTE / H990TR
If you can not wait , then
2nd option :
H918 T-Mobile US
both can be rooted in the near future
do as you wish
I must sleep now
The notion "wait a couple of months" is the most optimistic statement I've read on this topic. Dev's aren't big fans with LG and the ones who are, are typically working on the smaller market SINGLE sim phones like the T-mobile in the US. Root may never come along to the dual sim variant/s and that is just one of the reasons more of the "in the know" type phone users probably WON'T buy this phone. The dev community for LG dual is dead...yet I'm not sure why, this is where more of its USERS are.

Unfortunately I found this thread too late recommending against the dual sim H990DS.
I have one now and it's too late. I needed a dual sim phone as I carry a work phone and a personal phone and was tired or carrying two phone the whole time. I've had my eye on V20 for quite a while now and was excited to see it had all the specs I wanted including dual sim and MicroSD.
Does anyone think there will be a root for this device? I've always rooted my devices and for a number of reasons. Hearing that there may not be root for this model has made me reconsider my purchase.
Any idea guys?
Soon or Later LG will release unlock method for H990DS, I dont care about yet, lets Cyanogen mature on single sim V20s then move to dual Sim when Unlock is available.

Thank you for the quick reply AcostaJA. That is very reassuring.
Once I know there will be an unlock eventually I can live with that. I don't upgrade my devices very often so the idea of being stuck on stock for that duration was making me crazy.
I'm a fan of Cyanogenmod and look forward to their V20 release.
Thank you again!

I'm not too sure where you get your optimism from. LG do not have plans to release the boot unlock for this model...

Interesting list there. The F800K shipped with an unlockable bootloader like the H918?
"Dirty Santa"'s contributions are the F800L, H910, LS997 and VS995 currently. The other V20s are likely to be cracked open soon.

My my, you dislike dual-SIM phones so badly? Currently the H99DS has a AU$2015 (roughly US$1450) bounty, but there isn't yet an organized bounty for the H990 (though there are some disorganized folks who are offering). I imagine both will get broken in the same timeframe (not much more difficult to break both at the same time than just one).

They may in fact do that. So far Dirty Santa has only been applied to 4 devices, but most of what was done is pretty general and I imagine the rest of the V20 devices will follow soon. My fear is someone in LG management will say "Hmm, that merely encouraged them, don't be so lenient this time!" and they won't do so and be a PITA.

Christ, talk about being overdramatic. Anyway I bought mine from mygsm.me and now I wish I had bought from eBay and none of this customs duty would have applied. I have had friends who bought from them and never got stung. I was unfortunate.

They answer me that their model comes from Taiwan, so I presume it is H990DS.
Mine form eGlobal is on the way and probably at home on Monday.
I will let you know asap.

Currently, the two Dual Sim models are H990DS and H990N. The H990DS seems to mainly come from Taiwan. I got mines from Taiwan via eBay. I've contacted LG Mobile Singapore and their variant is also the H990DS. Perhaps there are more Asian countries that sell the same model?
Hong Kong seems to be the only one carrying the H990N.
According to this site, the H990DS and H990N are fairly similar in terms of LTE band support, with the H990N supporting 2 additional bands.

The big difference is the category of LTE.
H990DS is faster (cat.12) than H990N (cat.6) in upload/download.

LG V20 H990DS VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling Support?

Hi, this is my first post on XDA.
I ordered a LG V20 H990DS unlocked Taiwanese edition from Amazon for T-Mobile US. It is a good phone and it works really well with TMo LTE. However, two features are missing: VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling. Does anyone know how to turn on VoLTE or add VoLTE for unlocked phones? Do I need to root it and flash it with a T-Mobile ROM? If so, will it lock me into TMo?
Thanks in advance!

Are yousure you have the h990ds and not h990n? Because h990n has it
Try downloading the app "quick shortcut maker" and search for Wi-Fi calling. It is hidden in the US unlocked model. You should have bought the US unlocked model. Amazon, BH and Best Buy sell it.
