LG G2 unlocked to Telcel (Mexico) - G2 General

This is to my friends in Mexico:
The T-Mobile LG G2 can be unlocked and used in Telcel without any problems! :good:
Telcel will have the LG G2 somewhere in November 2013, but it will cost around $11,000 pesos, but on T-Mobile you can get it for a bit less than $8,000 pesos ($640 without contract).
Here's some photos of mine unlocked and working on Telcel. I still don't get my LTE chip, but it works on LTE too!
Cheers!

The signal seems to be great as always, however lately on my Samsung Galaxy Note I get lots of dropped calls from time to time... Not on the LG G2 so far.
The model number is: LG-D801
Cheers!

Here's proof of my T-Mobile unlocked to Telcel G2 working at full LTE speeds in Tijuana.
It should also work on Movistar's LTE network (2.600 Mhz).
Remember that you need a special micro sim in order to accomplish LTE speeds and to live in a city that has the service available.
Saludos!

I travel a bit to Mexico on business and am wondering if I can change the sim card from T-Mobile (USA) to Telcel (a pre-paid sim card).
Is this possible?

Of course you can, but before you do that you must ask T-Mobile to SIM unlock your G2 with the intent of traveling to Mexico. They do it for you for free. Granted you have at least a month with them.
Then just get a pre-paid Telcel LTE micro sim and you are ready to go. It costs $110 pesos around $8 bucks.
Cheers!

I pay around $400 pesos which translate to more or less $30 dollars.

You're welcome!
Both are basically the same hardware and specs. However I recommend you to base your purchase on the Custom ROM availability of each. T-Mobile LG G2 custom ROM scene is not that great, not that AT&T custom ROM scene is great, but I think it's not as bad actually.
I forgot to mention that even though both are the same hardware, ROMs are not interchangeable.

Hello, why are you worried about LTE?... Telcel LTE is crap, Telcel in general is crap in the DF (they filter the Skyper traffic) and in Movistar the simple internet connection is horrible (they use traffic filtering, for example VIBER degrades after 3min of usage), so imagine how good could be LTE... I have in Mexico D802SEA with IUSACELL, I think is better option compared to the others model of G2

At the moment custom roms are pure crap in all models, better if you stick with stock rom.

Thank you both, actually I have iusacell but I'm planning to change to movistar for the prepaid all inclusive plan. But I have to wait a few months before the company change occurs. Well thank you again. Regards

My suggestion, don´t move from IUSACELL, my other phone a Galaxy S2 is under Telcel and the signal in general is the worst I ever seen in a company, and Movistar internet is not good, as I told before, they filter services and for me, this the enough condition for not to contract a service. At the moment IUSACELL is the only company that dont filter internet traffic, of course I dont like so much their service too, but its the better between the three providers.

Totally agree with you... But I see it differently... I consider the stock ROM really good. For me it does not need anything else. I hate AOSP plain vanilla actually.
But each it's own.

Au contraire my friend, roms are, as a matter of fact, interchangeable. You just need to flash a kernel based of YOUR phone version.
Why, as of now I have a Wind mobile G2 running a T Mobile based rom, with working wifi calling and everything
