Hi guys, anybody here using the unlocked version of LG G6? I preordered mine off BH Photo Video and it arrived yesterday.
Was browing the threads and forums and haven't seen any regarding the unlocked version. My carrier is AT&T but I hate carrier phones since my experience with AT&T LG G5.
I saw lots of threads about how to access the hidden menu and stuff and tried it myself but didn't work so I was hoping some of you here uses the unlocked version and knows how to do that stuff.
Thanks!

I won the LGUS997 version in a drawing and I'm currently using it on cricket. Works just fine but would love to have this thing rooted.

Nope. LG did something stupid again like they did with the G4. They made the us cellular version and us unlocked version the exact same model number. I thought they had learned because with the G5 they differentiated the model number for the us unlocked version, but they went back to old habits I guess. So there are two variants of the us997:
US997: US cellular
US997: USA unlocked variant

Yea because on LG's website for redeeming the promo, the unlocked version and US cellular had different tabs. Do you have any idea how I access the hidden menu on USA unlocked?

No sorry, don't have the device so can't test. Maybe try putting a 0 in front of behind the 997 though, not sure. I'm guessing they wanted to differentiate the access code for the two different software versions but not sure. The code should be what was posted just different would be the 997 part.

At least from my research that 2nd code should work

I saw a older thread about this when the xperia S first came out and the guy was asking if the phone will work for tmobile USA. It didnt really help since the phone was just new at the time.
Now sony officially made it official that this phone will be made available to the USA:
http://www.xperiablog.net/2012/07/0...-and-sola-now-available-in-the-united-states/
and its available in newegg. I wanted to purchase this phone:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875190003
I was wondering if this particular model will work on atleast 3g for T-mobile USA
any help would be appreciated
i just really like how the xperia S looks... especially the transparent bar

Can I use it on other networks without unlocking it first?
No. Verizon works very hard to lock down their phones. There are rumors that this phone may work on other GSM networks but no HSPA+. It won't be easy to get working...

From what I hear, it doesn't appear the DNA will be unlocked
we really need a definitive answer here.
There are quite a few people who already got the phones.. I asked a few times from them to try it out but so far nada...

OK, I can confirm a few things for the shipped Verizon DNA's. They can't currently be unlocked on the htcdev website. I have heard that some of the Dev's have found a solution however and we should be hearing on a workaround very soon.
I can confirm that they are still SIM unlocked though! I successfully used an USA AT&T SIM and got both voice and H data speeds (~2mbs down) on AT&T network.

Hi guys.i am in south .africa.A friend is coming from the US and he can bring me a DNA ?Can i use it in my country.

You can on any gsm network.
need IMEI for AT&T lg optimus g to see if it works on my carrier lol
thanks
i need it because i wanna see if it works with bell networks
OR can you check on bell.ca for me?
wondering if it could work on bell networks?
I think the OG and N4 can pick up every gsm band in the world. I doubt anyone would be willing to give you their IMEI

IMEI is a unique number for each specific phone, you would need the number from the phone you were going to (possibly) buy.
You should mention your carrier, maybe somebody has already tried it and can confirm whether it works or not.
Also, if you are getting the AT&T version, you would need to get it sim unlocked first.

Why would the IMEI make any difference? Does Bell block other carrier's phones?
I am using ATT LGOG on Rogers in Canada, and I have heard that it works on Bell too. I can't test it though as I don't have a Bell SIM.
IMEI doesn't matter for a carrier. As long as phone is unlocked and supports the carriers frequencies, it should connect to the carrier

I'm using the AT&T LG Optimus G on Bell right now. I don't get LTE (even though LTE just came to my city) because my rate plan isn't "LTE capable" and it still has not been fixed.

I don't see why not. I still need to talk to Bell again because it says that my device and rate plan is not LTE capable. Either way, I'm more than happy with 4G.
Edit: I finally got LTE on my E970. Had to replace my SIM card (even though it was a LTE SIM) and LTE came on.

WiFi calling = SMS and calling from your number when you have no signal over WiFi.

I have always preferred unlocked phones. Easier to use overseas. And as said here no bloat wear. BTW I have read this phone does not do 5G for AT&T

Yes, that's correct. I think tmobile provides the best option as far as 5g signal for this phone.
