    TRYING TO REGISTER MY NEW LGG8 THIN Q FROM SPRINT -WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY OF THE NUMBERS ON MY PACKAGE LABEL

    • Howard Grant says

      I have the model LM-G820QM and also a G6. Using the same AT&T SIM the G8 shows using band 12 and the G6 shows using band 17. Both are supposed to support band 17. Why is this? Is there a problem?

    Do both unlocked LM-G820QM and LM-G820QM7 models work on Verizon? Or is it only LM-G820V?

    • Hunter F Rench says

      Activated my qm on Verizon yesterday at home, easy to do on their site. I have service with them on my previous phone and just switched the device imei number and then swamped SIM cards and viola l, instantly connect.

  3. stephen sowell says

    I am so very confused. I have the LG G8 from ATT, however, after checking here, the model number is the UM version, which is Canadian. Why would this happen?

  5. Eyewanders says

    Don’t bother trying to make a GSM-unlocked US Sprint variant play nicely with T-Mobile towers unless you’re in very dense, urban coverage areas.
    *Should* be doable but lack of provisioning ability for VoLTE or wi-fi calling combined with CMDA radio preferences regardless (limited in selection choices able to be changed even in service menus on the Sprint firmware) of 2G/3G coverage makes it an exercise in frustration if you’re in slightly more remote areas. Giant pain.

    Will a g820um work well in the United States in the Illinois area? Just ordered a referbished phone on amazon for 220 and the model number shows lm-g820uma so I guessing it’s just a g820um.

  8. Dan says

    G820UM says its canada phone but unlocked phone will work in USA? Also, what about 4g lte, it shows less # of bands for this phone, will 4g LTE work perfectly fine in USA?

  10. babs says

    Hello I have a LG G820UM will the dual screen attachment work with this please? Also does this phone have a duel sim area and can i use in the uk if unlocked|?
