Hello Guys,
What's up? I was wondering if I could buy a sprint LG G2 and can use it for my ATT carrier with unofficial unlock. Pls let me know everything works on sprint LG G2! (4G, ESN etc) Thanks in advance.
Even if Sprint "officially" unlocks your LG G2, it won't work with domestic GSM carriers like AT&T or TMobile. It will work unlocked with international SIM cards and international networks.
So, no.
After reading stuff i figured that all G2's are world phones.
Im From india and my question is that if i get a G2 of ebay sprint one with a bad ESN, since it cant be activated on sprint again which is a given.
Now my question is can buy the phone and use it with a regular GSM sim card from india ?
If yes what would i need to do to use the phone if it has a Bad ESN.
Any kind of answer would be helpful thanks a ton

I don't think a Sprint G2 would work in India, sorry. Sprint is a US carrier and uses CDMA instead of GSM. However, the international D802 model should work fine. The ESN is attached to the phone and not the carrier anyway, so no matter what carrier your on it won't activate.
The Sprint G2 is not factory unlocked for international GSM usage. It is an international capable device though (GSM 850/900/1800/1900). If the seller is not specifically stating that the phone has been unlocked for international use then it will not work in India. Only Sprint can unlock the phone and if your not the owner of the phone with an active line with Sprint they wont unlock it for you plain and simple. I would recommend to save your self a big hassle and buy the international G2 D802.

No problem, I forgot to mention that the Verizon G2 is factory unlocked for GSM service. You could buy a BAD ESN Verizon G2 and put in your India GSM sim card and it would work with no unlocking necessary. I'm not sure what band you need for LTE, but HSPA+ should work.

Hello All,
I am thinking of buying a bad ESN Galaxy Sprint S5 from US. So, my question is will I be able to use it here in India after unlocking region lock? And secondly will I be able to unlock it using 3rd party website for unlocking cell phone for international use? And if I buy factory unlocked bad ESN Galaxy Sprint S5 will I be able to use it here in India with any GSM networks or not? Because S5 is supported both CDMA and GSM bands so sprint is a CDMA company thus if CDMA is locked through bad ESN if I unlock the GSM for international use I can as far as I read upon different forums. But want expert advice who have tried this
Regards
Hello, I've been searching for the answer everywhere and can't seem to find it. I have two options, my first option is to buy an LG G2 with an broken screen for $70 and repair it for my person use. The catch is its T-Mobile, could I unlock the phone and use it with Verizon? My second option is that my friend has an LG G2 from US Cellular and is willing to mail it to me, is it any way of unlocking it to Verizon?
My phone is unlocked and I am wondering how i would use it on sprint?
I do get full bars just cant call/data so I am wondering if i have to call them an have them register the sim with them?
I have to do this with metro.
Bump
I'm not sure you can....
I know the Verizon model VS980 has a GSM radio too... but I seriously doubt the AT&T GSM model has a CDMA radio to work on Sprint. MAYBE 4G only?
The Verizon model is the best IMO. It features Qi Wireless Charging and unlocked GSM radios out of the box.
