LG V20 Claimed to be unlocked in system, but constant invalid SIM

[amsguy]

@Cat_Sprint what do you mean?  if not, how could it (unlocked Sprint phone) used in other network?

without changing APN, other carrier network/data will not work.  are you sure?

@Em_Will_I_Am  any update on your research?  thanks

if im thinking correctly when the new sim card gets put into the phone from another carrier and is updated it then allows it to be done.

Hey, sorry about that. I see you are in communications with Em_Will_I_Am. I'm going to step back and let the expert assist you.

Question:

 Is there a corporate PRL open for international roaming that will give us an editable apn?

Not sure what you mean by corporate PRL, but there are PRLs for our international roaming partners for Sprint Global roaming plans.  This is included in the PRL you receive during activation or any updates.

Hey, be easy on @Cat_Sprint she is one of my eager padawans and still has the new car smell. No substantial updates to report.

That's how they give Verizon access to the top tier business accounts and let's the user edit APN settings.

Wasn't sure if Sprint had something similar and could/would unlock the APN that way as well. It's like one line of text at the beginning of the PRL file.

*it then allows you to change the APN*

once a different carriers sim card is put in (obviously with a fully unlocked device) and if that carrier allows it THEN you can change around the APN. its a GSM/CDMA deal. GSM carriers i think can do it on a whim..CDMA carriers can not.

Dont get me wrong. If my statement was aggressive then my apologies to you all.
I have been struggling on this and was down when i read the comments.
I thought Sprint gave up on us.

Thanks

That would be more on the Business side.  I've always work Consumer.  I do know we have made customer PRLs for businesses, but my knowledge of that ends there.

Yes, your comments were very aggressive.  I will have to get the mods on you.  

You're good.  This is a safe place.

Checking in to see if any additional progress has been made and if there are any updates.

I've been asked to ask what is the direct path that is taken in an attempt to change the APN?  For example Settings - Network - etc....
