Remove Sprint SIM Lock for LG G Flex

Most people are now acquiring their new devices from various carriers because it is an easier and much affordable way to get it. Carriers allow these users to provide monthly payments for the device – along with a certain data plan – and the device can also be upgraded at an additional cost.

However, these devices are normally locked to the carrier, and these SIM-locked devices remain that way for a certain period of time. Otherwise, if you are not satisfied with the services given by the network operator, you have the option to unlock it. Thanks to technology, you no longer necessarily have to pay for the network unlock – you can even do it on you own, at the comfort of your home.

Having a SIM-locked device unlocked is preferred by many people. This article will tell you how to unlock the LG G Flex LS995 and LG G2 LS980 from the Sprint network. Take note of the following requirements for the unlock-ing process:

Download the LG USB drivers
Download the SIM unlock tool Link | Mirror
