Question
Hello dear expert?
I've a new LG phathom  VS750. This phone is with verizon global service sim. I'm in mongolia now. How I can use mongolian cdma 1900Ghz on this phone? I inserted my mongolian cdma 1900Ghz number's sim but it didn't work, but on display antenna high. GSM is available to use, gsm is connecting but I can't access CDMA on this phone.

Please, help me figure out it.
Thank you
Hope your soonest reply.

Answer
This device does not work on CDMA networks outside of the US. The global SIM is to be used on Vodafone networks (GSM) abroad. That is why whenever you try to do what you are doing, you only see GSM. The radio antenna only has the GSM signals available outside the US. I am very sorry that whomever sold you this device made you before it would work for you in Mongolia. It will not. I hope this helps.
