    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: 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.

    victoriaduh: The T-Mobile Sidekick service will not work with AT&T. You will only be able to make phone calls and text messages.

    d_mtz08: What SIM card are you putting into the device you unlocked?

  5. mobileslate November 17, 2009

    Bryan: Yes, you can find an online Subsidy Unlock Service, but will have to pay a fee.

    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.

    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.

  10. mobileslate December 4, 2009

    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.

    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.

  12. mobileslate December 4, 2009

    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.

  19. Eric May 17, 2010

    Andreita: It would seem that you phone has already been “unlocked” Where did you purchase the device from?

  20. tony munoz May 18, 2010

    what does this unlock do?

  21. mobileslate May 24, 2010

    tony munoz: It allows you to choose a different mobile operator other than AT&T. In the US, the alternative is T-Mobile or even Simple Mobile.

  22. mobileslate June 4, 2010

    albertanicetus: The TV service is only available on AT&T. Getting the Subsidy Unlock Code will not unlock the service.

  23. mobileslate June 9, 2010

    marie: CT = Connecticut? In the US, the only GSM mobile operators that are compatible with the LG device are AT&T and T-Mobile USA.

  24. Zainazmi95 July 15, 2010

  25. mobileslate August 2, 2010

    Customer Service for AT&T: 1-800-331-0500
