  • mobileslate
    ashleemichelle: There is subsequent post that talks about how to configure the device for the T-Mobile. However, the exact settings, you will have to contact T-Mobile Customer Care in order to get the specifics.

    Ok so is this free?
    And how do you find the 16 digit unlock code?
    Can i insert a T-Mobile sim into this phone when its unlocked?
  • mobileslate
    yasiscool: Yes, calling AT&T Customer Service is free. They might ask you a lot of questions, but make sure you ask for the "Subsidy Unlock Code" Once the device is unlocked, you can put almost any SIM card in. You may still need to configure the device if you plan on using picture messaging or Internet on this phone.

    HI THERE I GOT THE LG VU AND I GOT IT UNLOCKED AND I WANT TO KNOW CAN I GET IN ON THE INTERNET I GOT T-MOBILE NOW BUT IT WONT LET ME HELP PLEASE
  • mobileslate
    josesanchez: There is a post about the LG Vu 920 Configuration at the end of the post. You will need to contact T-Mobile Customer Care to get the exact settings to setup your device.
  • ATT tried to tell me that my SIM card would not work because it was "blue" network, as opposed to "orange" network. They tried to sell me a new plan, and sign me up for a new contract that "costs the same" as the plan I already have. Straight up lies! The plan I have comes in at about $32 monthly because I signed up with the original AT&T wireless just months before they went out of business. That was years ago, and I have used several phones since then. They do not have a plan in this price range. In fact, every time I call, and quite often in the mail - they send me offers that are crap. I just makes calls on my phone that is it. I have 900 minutes w/ no rollover.

    Roger Polanco: All you need to do to upgrade the SIM card is to go into the AT&T Retail Store and ask for upgrade. They will do this at no cost to you. If they charge, that doesn't make any sense.
  • My step-son upgraded tp an iPhone / renewed his contract with AT&T. I have an older AT&T SIM from the days of the original AT&T Wireless company that went out of business a fews years ago. The phone is asking me to unlock it still. Are the old ATT SIMs diffrent than the current ones? I'll post and let you know if I am able to get this thing unlocked.
  • fitterhappy
    will tech support just give you the unlock code no problem? and after unlocking it will this phone work with verizon?
  • mobileslate
    fitterhappy: Yes, you need to be firm in your request. After you unlock the device it will not work with Verizon since they use a different radio technology than AT&T. The only option in the United States is to use it with T-Mobile.
  • vontastic
    if i unlock my lg vu, can it then be used with cricket
  • mobileslate
    vontastic: Cricket Wireless and AT&T do not use the same radio technology - you will not be able to use the LG Vu on the Cricket network.

    At&t are unwilling to give me the code to my phone. I own a LG Cu920 a.k.a LG VU. Is there any other way to obtain the subsidy code???
  • mobileslate
    Ms_A_Hayes: You can go online and look for a Subsidy Unlock Code site. You will have to pay a fee in order to obtain the code.
  • d_mtz08
    I got the phone unlocked, and when i put a t mobile sim card in it then try to make a call, it says SERVICE UNAVAILABLE as well as when i try calling the phone...what do i do?
  • mobileslate
    d_mtz08: What SIM card are you putting into the device you unlocked?
  • victoriaduh
    Hi I have service with at&t but i want the t mobile sidekick so i tried it on sisters friends phone and didn't work so i need to e absolutely sure this is gonna work with no cost does it?
  • mobileslate
    victoriaduh: The T-Mobile Sidekick service will not work with AT&T. You will only be able to make phone calls and text messages.
  • Bryan
    I just want to know very soon, is there any way to unlock the phone without calling anyone?
  • mobileslate
    Bryan: Yes, you can find an online Subsidy Unlock Service, but will have to pay a fee.
  • JUSTINE
    If LG Vu CU920 was already unlocked, can i use this phone in asia?? or the phone will function if i insert other SIMcard aside from AT&T SIM?????? ^___^ thanks
  • mobileslate
    JUSTINE: Yes, if the phone has been unlocked it can be used in Asia, you need to change the SIM card to the local mobile operator.
  • yuwan
    if i go to online unlock code.. is that for free?? or do i need to purchased the code via credit card?? and what site is it?
  • mobileslate
    yuwan: Typically if you are obtaining the unlock code online, you will need to use Paypal or a Credit Card. You can do a Google search to find and locate.
