[Q] LS990 Spirit which is unlocked would work on ANY lte/gsm?

[shabydog]

Hi,
I almost close to buy this model.
I will pass it to a person that lives out of u.s.
The LTE network there: 2600/1800.
The GSM network there: 850/900/2100

He told that the phone is unlocked and he also figuerd it with Sprint.
They (Sprint) told him it will work in any county.

Also mentioned something with "Unlocked by EOD".

BUT:
When i read the specs of the LS990 I see under :
Network: GSM Quad Band/UMTS Tri Band/LTE Tri Band
And Under:
Frequencies: GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, UMTS 850/1900/2100, LTE Bands 25/26/41*

I can see that:
GSM - V **The Quad Band is aint someting exclusive to Spirit or U.S networks, right?
UMTS - V **The same regarding the " Tri Banad"
LTE - V **The same regarding the " Tri Banad"

And i can see that the LTE of this model is not something i know heard about in ISRAEL.
We have here 2600 & 1800 frequencies

With all that info' - can u confirm this model is like factory unlocked to work within ANY GSM & LTE global?

Thank you very much!

Nope locked down

Sorry, not all of us are into "this world".
What does "locked down" means in my case?

By the way - the phone comes with a SIM-card slot!

Thanks for your help.

P.S: read this article and looks like it is possible to make a sim unlock within Sprint:

Look, in the simplest of terms, the Sprint LG G3 is not the model you're looking for. It is not unlocked out the box, and is difficult to unlock properly because it is done through the service provider, in this case Sprint via an OTA method.

Get a proper GSM version.

Final answer i've got from Sprint:

They confirmed the phone will work in any other country.

That the phone is unlocked, that the procedure turned the LG G3 phone to a factory unlocked by all matters, to be used globaly by any LTE / GSM network.

And all i have to do is buy an 128k SIM card in my country and it will work with any carrier.

The rep' said: "it has been Unlocked and will indeed turn the LG G3 phone to a factory unlocked by all matters, to be used global by any LTE / GSM network."

I just need to turn some setting...that's all.

Hope that the rep' is right...but i talked to them few times regarding that thing.

Thanks very much!

Sorry bro. No Hebrew. I would have recognized it. Double checked right now.

 

[shabydog]

Thanks very much.
Do U know if it possible to add an unavailable right to left language for a model that specifically produced to the U.S market?

One more thing is: Read that theIr are lang's which are builded in , But the provider is just BLOCKING part of them.
So in order to fix that - I shell install the zip of the MoreLocal2. (not the app).
Saw a guid on a Galaxy Note which worked on it.
Anyone know's if it supposed to work for any Android?

Thanks again.

So, I got a LS990 in Canada which won't find no LTE networks in Canada. Bell in Canada operates on 2600 and 1700 while LS990's standard is 850/1900/2500. So, I basically hate this device and didn't want to believe the fact that LTE bands had hardware dependency though these are world phones. It sucks but I would still appreciate if someone could prove me wrong.

Thanks!

Here's how to unlock additional bands. I haven't tried it as I'm not needing to unlock more bands, but it's something to read about.
