Making my Verizon G2 work on T-Mobile or Sprint? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any possible way to make my Verizon LG G2 work on T-Mobile / Sprint or AT&T? I bought it thinking I had 30 days to change my mind and then found out I only have 14. The Verizon plans are ridiculously expensive and I want to switch over.
Is there ANY solution to this? or am I better off just selling the device online and paying the $350 penalty

U can't. U will have to sell it

If it is the 16gb make sure it is not thru Tmobile. People are purchasing thru TMO for $199 or even that last deal they had where it was for $50 or free I think. After they sell it then they wait a week or 2 and report it lost, stolen and TMO will block the IMEI.

Let's say that after a month or 2 you don't want the device and want to sell it, you will have a better chance of selling it to able to use on att, tmo, simple etc.

You can, he's suggesting that Google play phones have a higher resale value though i dont see how as Google play purchased phones can be blacklisted as well

Assuming the seller doesn't have insurance on the phone:
What would this seller gain by reporting it stolen? He's still gonna have to pay the early termination fee.

I think it's easier to assume the seller does have insurance, especially on a two day old phone with plans of doing a scheme.
it's also easy to assume the seller may prefer the phone he was using before the n4, change the SIM, no etf

Get him to remove the phones IMEI off his account before he sells it to you

He's selling it because he doesn't like stock android and he wants the galaxy s4 now

That's assuming he/she pays the etf. Some won't and could care less about their credit. Seller could be selling an already stolen phone and banking on getting rid of it before iemi is blacklisted.
I've also heard people use fake info to sign up for a 2 year contract get phone then just stop paying

sounds reasonable... vanilla's not for everyone

IMO, pay the $50 extra from one directly from Google. $300 sounds tempting but it could easily turn into 650

TMobile LG G2 on AT&T?

Will buy the TMobile LG G2 and try their service. But if I unlock my phone, will it work if I need to switch to AT&T and do I need to flash anything on my part and thanks.

Needs to be unlocked. LTE will not work and you'll only get HSPA+ 21

Thanks but I thought I read it had the 700 LTE band that would work on AT&T. Is this wrong?

Sprint G2

Just bought Verizon g2 on eBay and the guy sent me a Sprint one. Model Lg-LS980.
Any idea if this will work with Verizon and if ROMs from other carriers will work?
Sent from my XT912 using Tapatalk
To be short, no. The hardware isn't the same either as the Verizon variant is different.
