How to Unlock a Verizon Wireless LG Chocolate Phone

• Answer:

  If you are unhappy with your service contract with Verizon Wireless, you can always take your LG Chocolate phone to another CDMA mobile company, like Cricket Wireless or MetroPCS. Your LG Chocolate comes locked to Verizon Wireless through its programming. To unlock the phone, you have to uninstall the Verizon programming and replace it with the programming from your new mobile company. Difficulty: Easy Instructions Log into the Verizon Wireless Backup Assistant from your computer's web browser. (See "Resources.") Click "Manage My Contacts." Select the contacts you want to save from your LG Chocolate phone. Click "Export Contacts" and follow the screen prompts to create and save a backup file to your computer. Call the customer service department of your potential new mobile company. Verify that the LG Chocolate is compatible with their network. Ask the customer service representative for the address of a nearby store that performs cell-phone flashing services for new customers. Take your LG Chocolate into the store location you found in Step 2. Explain that you have Verizon Wireless as a service on your LG Chocolate but want to switch to their CDMA network. Pay the fees associated with installing the new software on your handset and activating it to the new network. Log into your new CDMA network's website. Navigate to the mobile backup program. Click "Import Contacts." Follow the screen prompts to import the file you created in Step 1 into the mobile backup program. Click the synchronization link to synchronize the contacts in the mobile backup program with the ones on your LG Chocolate's address book. Tips & Warnings Tip: To avoid interruptions in service, don't cancel your contract with Verizon Wireless until you have already transferred your LG Chocolate to your new CDMA network. Also, depending on the company, a flashed phone may not have access to all of the features of its new network. Although voice and text features are usually guaranteed, other features like MMS or mobile Internet may not be available. Contact customer service for more specific information regarding what features are available to your LG Chocolate. Warning: Although backing up and restoring your LG Chocolate address isn't required to switch your Verizon phone to another network, you will lose all information on your handset if you don't do it. It is difficult to give precise instructions on how to upload your address book file to your new mobile company without knowing the specific mobile company. If you have any problems uploading address book information to your newly flashed LG Chocolate, please contact customer service for more specific help with your account.
