If you bought this cellphone and have decided to change carrier, or maybe you are traveling and wish to use the phone with a different simcard, you'll have to unlock the phone. If you do not unlock it, an error message will be displayed on the cellphone the moment you put in a new simcard.
Below are the instructions you'll need to unlock your LG Quantum:
1. Insert a non-accepted simcard in your phone (a simcard that isn't from the original service provider).
2. Power on phone.
3. The phone will display "This sim card can only be used on specific networks. Contact your customer service center for the unlock code".
5. Type in your unlock code. In the event that you dont have an unlock code, have a look at the footer of this article for instructions on where you can get one.
5. Your phone is now unlocked.
Once your cell phone unlock code is entered and accepted, the phone is unlocked. Then you're able to insert a simcard from any other service provider and the phone should immediately pick up the network. Sometimes you might need to modify some options on your phone (email and other web affiliated services) by way of pointing them to your new provider.
