LG G7

[Hilts]

I've had my G5 for quite a while now and it's been great but fancied an upgrade to the G7 for the bigger, brighter screen and the improved sound.

Managed to get a BNIB sealed one on ebay. It's a US T-Mobile version though which after a hard reset now accepts my BT sim and everything works great apart from I still get a TM splash screen and sometimes some TM notifications.

The ebay seller has been great so far with help but after I told them the TM stuff didn't go away they want me to send the phone back for a replacement.

Are there any issues to using a non-UK model G7 that I have overlooked?

Their price is about £100 less than most others but say they give a two year warranty. Feedback is solid.

I have been considering the same upgrade do you have a link?

My G5 is well used but the mobile and wifi reception is getting worse. Same thing happened with my G3.

I dont know about the usa thing.

Normally, the TM (or <insert other operator>) screen will be hardcoded in the device boot sequence and only removable by flashing it with a nonTM OS version - doesnt matter though its irrelevant to the function of the device.

Id assume you would get the TM messages as they are being sent to IMEIs rather than cell/mobile numbers

Just be aware that if its coming from the US you may get stung for tax on it. I won a phone on a US site, and it was posted to me and I got a £150 tax bill on it.
