Based on the overwhelming response about Subsidy Unlock Instructions for the LG CU920 and LG CU915, I finally got around to helping all those who have been coming to my blog asking about the LG CU915 and CU920 (Vu) with network configuration questions, beyond the Subsidy Unlock instructions.
Sorry it’s taken me a while to explain some of this, but I wanted to get some screenshots, since that’s much easier than trying to explain everything using text. Below are Step-by-Step Instructions on how to Configure SMS, MMS and WAP settings.
PLEASE DON’T ASK me what your specific Mobile Operator settings are, you can either do a Google Search or simply contact your Mobile Operator from which you get service. As there are over 300+ Mobile Operators around the world, trying to supply this kind of information accurately is tough!

step 1 is for both mms and t-zones, 2 is for mms, 3 is for t-zones.
here are my settings:
1) Go to Settings>More>Connection>Network Profiles and create a new profile. Enter these settings:
Name: T-Mobile WAP
Bearer: GPRS
Authentication: PAP
User Name: [blank]
Password: [blank]
APN: epc.tmobile.com
2) Go to Messages>Message Settings>Multimedia Message>Message Center, click on options and choose New. Enter these settings:
Name: T-Mobile MMS
MMSC URL: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMSC Proxy: 216.155.174.050
MMSC Port: 8080

3)Go to MEdia Net>Browser Settings>Accounts and click on New up in the upper right corner. Enter these settings:
Name: T-Zones
Homepage: http://wap.t-zones.com
Connection Mode: TCP with Proxy
Proxy Address: 216.155.165.050

Thanks Nene my phone can send and recieve pictures texts now! U r the best!
thanks nene for me it work perfect too !! ur awsome keep up !!!
nene ur the man it took me about ten min. to set up but works great something tmobile tech could not do thank again
victor: Glad it worked out.
I unlocked the phone following the instructions OK, I managed to set up WAP connection which does fine, MMS it should work but I don’t have confirmation yet but I’m not concerned ’cause through Italian Vodafone that is a very expensive service and I seldom use anyway. The sore point is the SMS text messages that seems to be resistant to any kind of persuasion, it receives fine, the number is correct 100% but … it fails to send. I tried nth times but to no avail. The problem is that I use SMS a lot (very common in Italy), and without that the phone is almost of no practical everyday use. Are we sure the phone is transmitting SMS protocol ?
Thanks anyway for the great support
Pippo: The problem is that you need to program in the phone number into the phone so that it can understand where to route your text messages to. You can contact the mobile operator you are using and ask them to provide you the SMS mailbox number. Once you have done this, you should be able to send and receive text messages.
That’s exactly what I did, to be precise the service center number (SMS mailbox number) for Vodafone Italy is +393492000200 and doesn’t work. Furthermore MMS doesn’t send neither, but both receive allright.
I’ve been reading on the net that there is a switch to activate from 8 bit to 7 bit something or viceversa (that was somebody with a similar problem but different phone brand) somebody else also had the SIM replaced with good result.
The fact is that the SIM is new and both MMS and SMS on my other phone (Nokia 6300) with same setting send out fine and I’m starting to have nightmares about this …
Thanks again
Pippo
One more thing : the WAP connection works great.
How can I change the AT&T network to T-mobile network for making phone calls? My phone is unlocked but still can’t use my T-mobile SIM card…any help? thanks
loregonza: If the device has been “subsidy” unlocked, you can make phone call simply by putting the T-Mobile SIM card in correctly. If the SIM card is not inserted correctly or the device has not been *properly* unlocked, it will not work.
Nene's T-Mobile advice worked like a dream. Thanks a lot!
Could you guys help me set up the MMS settings for T-Mobile service on my At&t LG Incite phone. I have the phone unlocked, and i am able to make and receive calls and SMS messaging, but I cannot get the MMS settings right and working. Please help!
what number do i put for message center number
how do you set all new settings
marvin_m9: Which mobile operator are you using for service?
marvin_m9: Which mobile operator are you trying to use with this phone?
markscott0102: You can contact T-Mobile Customer Care and ask them. Alternatively, you can try: http://tmobileuspublic.wdsglobal.com/

Last Monday I purchased an LG VU CU920 cell phone. When I'm on the phone the KEYPAD is displayed and the LOCK comes on after 2 seconds and I have to tap the UNLOCK button to use the keypad. This makes it difficult to use the phone. How can I clear/stop this from happening?
trapper3825: I think you are talking about the Keypad lock? Adjusting the Keypad lock can be changes in the Settings menu.
i can't use my tv.. and i cant cnnect to the internet… huhuh help!
heybare: The TV service is only available on AT&T. For Internet access, what mobile operator are you trying to use this device with?
I have an LG VU CU920 cell phone with a puk passcode. How can i unblock the PUK code to gain accesss to my cellphone. Thanks
The PUK code unblocks the SIM card. This is different than the Subsidy Unlock Code that is for the device.

Pls tell is it possible to unlock. 1 month ago i bought AT&T LG CU920 (Vu) from Ebay, and now when i receive it and put my SIM and get such text on screen -> “Invalid SmartChip”. The only choice that i have is to click on “Emergency” button. I don't sure, but looks like this phone is locked. Pls let me know is there any chance to unclock this phone, if i don't have original At&t sim. Also, i'm afraid that even unclock codes from Ebay cann't help me, as i don't have any option to type more than 3 digits (via Emergency call)
David: Yes your device is still subsidy unlocked. You will need to use an online subsidy unlock service in order to use the SIM card with your phone you purchased via eBay.
