Hello,
I have 2 questions,
1. I currently have AT&T Gophone LTE plan. I know G Pro supports LTE and I used LTE network with this phone in South Korea. But with AT&T, it only gets 3G. I know F240S supports LTE band 5 (850Mhz) and AT&T also supports band 5. I even accessed the service menu and changed some settings but nothing changes.
2. I have a Sprint account with Unlimited LTE data plan. I heard G pro has multiple versions but the hardware of them is basically same, which means it supports both GSM and CDMA? So maybe I can use my G pro at Sprint? I went to the Sprint store and the Sprint guy told me the device supports CDMA but its ESN number is not registered on Sprint system so it cannot be used with Sprint. Is there any way to use sprint plan?
Thanks

Will it get 4g LTE with any carrier with or without any modification?

Nearly all mobiles these days have LTE or 4G bands. if you buy an International device (D855) then the device will "Support" LTE, but it depends if your carrier has activated it. For example, Here in UK we have EE UK, which is comprised of Orange, T-Mobile and EE. If I want 4G I need an EE contract. If I just make phone calls and texts and dont bother with web usage I would get a cheaper 3G Contract with Orange or T-Mobile UK.
Yes my D855 supports 4G if I want it, but my Phone will always say "3G / H / H+" because my contract I bought only supports 3G.
Hope that helps
It also depends if the phone supports the LTE band. Might be worth googling the LTE band for your carrier to see if the phone supports it
I have the North American 64gb Zenfone 2. I use AT&T's Share plan and I registered my phone in AT&T's system and it refuses to give me LTE. AT&T claims LTE is enabled on my sim but it doesn't work. When I pop in my brother's sim from an AT&T locked device I get LTE. I do not have any other AT&T locked devices in my house as I recently switched. Can anyone help please??
I am having the same kind of situation with Cricket which is owned by AT&T. My SIM had LTE with my LG Optimus G Pro but only 4G with my ZF2. It is the exact same SIM.
Im on straightalk i used a att sim with no issues on my NA asus zenfone 2, had perfect 4G(lte) signal on 06610.

If the indicater says "4g" that is LTE
OK, cool. My OGP showed LTE when it had the signal. I guess I was expecting the ZF2 to show the same.

Newbie, here - cannot post links.

Hope this helps.

Visit your nearest AT&T store and get the rep to delete your ZF2's IMEI from their system. If they won't allow you to, borrow someone else's phone and **get another SIM card** from them. Modifying your APN settings won't help at this point.

I think the phone only shows 4g.. My Nexus 4 (wth LTE Radio) shows LTE..
I am also using Cricket and my phone shows 4G symbol, with speedtest.net I get the 8Mbps down (Cricket caps 4g at that).
When I popped in my t-mobile sim (from the Nexus 4) it also showed 4G symbol, but i would get 26-34Mbps down (which is the 4G/LTE speed)
I currently have a Korean variant (F500-L). I have seen a couple of these for sale on swappa and both posts say that this phone will work with T-mobile LTE. However, when I've popped in my SIM, I only get 3G. Does anyone else have any experience with this variant on T-mobile? If you were able to get it to work on LTE, how did you do it?
Enter APN settings for T-Mobile. Google that. Just popping in the sim won't give lte.
i have the same issue.. the APN settings seem to be correct.. but it only shows 3G. Model is F500-L
same here i need help too mine is a f500s lg g4 skt version thanks
Far as I know, phone must support LTE Band 2 and 4 to work on T-Mobile 4G network.
But F500(Korean ver. of G4) doesn't support LTE Band 2 and 4. It supports LTE band 1,3,5 and 7. Therefore a phone will only work under 3G network.
So i have a iphone 6 plus and someone offered me a verizon unlocked lg g4. Tmobile is my carrier and i understand that the g4 is unlocked but i was wondering how would tmobile be like on the g4? Will LTE function normally ? Thanks
edit: nevermind was wrong
The Verizon G4 supports bands 2/4/13. Most of T-Mobile uses band 4 for LTE, and on recent 2G > LTE converted sites they typically use band 2, so yes I'd say it would work well. The one they are missing is band 12, so you won't get any of T-Mobile's low-band spectrum.
You will likely also get an invalid SIM warning on your phone, since it's not a Verizon SIM.
My Tmobile branded Iphone doesn't have band 12 either so will my service be the exact as I have it on my crapple 6 plus ?
Should be.

Hi i want to buy a sprint lg g5 from ebay but im not sure if it will work in greece.
Does any of you know if i can use the sprint variant in greece with greek sim?
Thank you.
According to this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks_in_Europe
...the Greek TelCo's use three bands for LTE: 3, 7, and 20.
As reported here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g5/help/domestic-international-lte-bands-g5-t3343645
Sprint variants of LG G5 have LTE bands 3 / 4 / 12 / 25 / 26 / 41
Three observations:
1. Unlock your LG G5 before going abroad by calling Sprint and telling them to unlock your phone
2. GSM should work as intended for voice, SMS, and slow 2G speeds of data
3. You need to be on a carrier that uses band 3. Otherwise, you'll be stuck with very slow data speeds
I unlocked mine through Sprint for international use, however do note I am a current user of Sprint. I also attempted to unlock it for domestic US use and was declined since I have wait 50 days after my current 2 year contract is complete.
You may be better off purchasing the International version or phones like the Nexus or MotoX.
