So here's the deal my phone is on my dads plan and I absolutely love my dinc2 but u hate Verizon and frankly can't afford it is there a way to unlock this phone to work on virgin boost if tmobile? Do I need to be rooted? Can I have 3g still on another network ? I tried to search and only found issues regarding out of country sim card issues

I read someone had luck using it on AT&T. This was only after using an XTC clip, though.
I think I read it in the group XTC clip but thread

I just called Verizon and ask for the similar unlock code.

from what i've read about verizon's 3G bands, you won't be able to use any verizon phone on 3G networks of other carriers, unlocked or not - only EDGE.

Is it possible to use the Inc 2 on US based GSM providers? I see the phone supports US GSM frequencies.
Yes but it needs to be unlocked by software. www.CDMA-guru.com is a good place if you want to do it on your own. If not take it to a shop and they can do it for you.
Yes, ask verizon global dept for the unlock code.
Most of the time they will provide it. Tell them you are traveling Asia and want it unlocked.
XTC clip also allows it.

it should work on att and tmo however im not sure if 3g will work because of different bandwith.

Oh ok, I wouldn't do it just wondering. I'm deploying soon so I need to start shopping for carriers in Afghanistan.

It definitely works with Etisalat in UAE.
to confirm, i get Edge in the states on a AT&T sim.
in Asia (Vietnam) i get 3g via UMTS on Mobifone and Viettel
So lets say I wanted to get coverage in an area I normally don't but AT&T has coverage. If I unlock my phone do I have to pay for AT&T service and it is a different number or do I retain my number just pay for the service through AT&T? This is my first go around with all of this and I am not sure it will be worth it.
You have to get service with the other carrier. Which means a second number. I would recommend just doing a prepaid. Remember under your mobile networks settings you have to switch between gsm and cdma.

is it possible to use simple mobile on the incredible 2? i know it has a sim card but i am not sure. If i can what steps do i need to take in order to do so. Thanks
You would need to either contact Verizon's global team and have them provide you with the unlock code or you could purchase an unlock code from eBay.

Once you unlock the SIM it should work. I unlocked mine and have been able to use the straight talk Nokia SIM that I had. It works except I don't get 3G connection. EDGE only. Otherwise it works fine. Will come in handy whenever I travel to Mexico next month.

Is there a way to get data on the LG Nitro using a gophone plan I kno they have the $65 plan now and it comes with 1gb of data but before I spend my money I wanna see if its a way I can get data enabled and working well I gotta the icon to come in by changing my apn but the guy who activated my sim says this phone can only get talk and text. Anyone here using a GoPhone plan if so are you getting data? Any help greatly appreciated
Sent from my LG-P930 using xda premium
The guy who activated your sim is retarded. If you get the $65/month smartphone unlimited w/1gb data plan your data will certainly work on the Nitro HD since it's an AT&T phone. I personally think that's a monumental waste of money each month, but whatever, it's your decision.
Why do you say that its a waste of money is there a better plan out there

StraightTalk SIM for $45/mo with a guaranteed 2GB of Data and Unlimited Talk/Text.
It's what I'm running and I love it.
Yea but since I bought the phone off craigslist I can't get the unlock code from at&t doesn't the phone have to be unlocked to use straight talk

AT&T won't give you the unlock code, but you can still acquire the unlock code for your device for under $10 from sites like this one: http://www.cellunlocker.net/lg-unlock.php
Will it still get 4g
Sent from my LG-P930 using xda premium
StraightTalk works on AT&T so no unlock. Mine isn't unlocked and works just fine. Also, 4G is there.
So it doesn't have to be unlocked to use a straight talk sim? That's great
Sent from my LG-P930 using xda premium
You won't get LTE on Straight Talk, but HSPA+ is still better than nothing. To me LTE is essentially worthless when you only have 1GB.
Lte will blow thru 1gb in one day I'm just trying to make the right decision the ppl at straight talk said I had to unlock the phone 1st then here I hear something different. The guy I bought this phone from got the unlock code from at&t but it doesn't work so I'm kinda sceptical about trying one of those unlock sites but $45 sounds better than $65

If it's an AT&T Nitro? Then you're fine, just make sure you buy the right sim for AT&T. The person you spoke to didn't give you the correct information. I took a locked AT&T Nitro I bought from Craigslist, stuck the ST Sim in and it works perfect.
I'm going to try that

Unlock codes for LG's are 99 cents on eBay with misterunlock
I'm sure there are others, but I used that service with both of mine.
Do they sell straight talk sims at wal mart or something

I am thinking about buying a unlock code to unlock my DCIN2. I purchased this phone from Craigslist and I have been using it on Pageplus. Now I am thinking about switching to PlatinumTel (T-Mobile network) but only if I can get 3G service.
Anybody have tried? please share. Googled quite a bit but haven't get a conclusive answer.
Nope, did it to my old inc2 for a friend and you can only get 2G

I am trying to unlock my sim so I can use simple mobile. Right now I have the latest AOKP on my phone. I also don't have any sim card in it yet. I tried to unlock using *#197328640# but it won't do anything. Do I have to Odin back to stock for it to work? Or is there another way to unlock the sim?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I just did some reading and I see that it has to be stock tw ROM in order for that to work.

unlocking a Galaxy s3 without a sim card
Hi, I just got a tmobile Galaxy s3 since my friend upgraded to an iPhone, however I have service with Virgin Mobile. I've read about unlocking phones to work with different carriers and I'm hoping there's a way to unlock this tmobile phone so i can use it with Virgin Mobile. Virgin Mobile as far as i know doesn't use sim cards. Will i be able to make the switch?
