For this phone, the heading says:
"LG K92 5G (AT&T Unlocked) LM-K920AM 6.7" 64MP GSM"
The heading does not say not for T-Mobile (and nowhere else on the site).
It simply describes itself as an UNLOCKED GSM phone, so I expected it to work with T-Mobile's GSM network.
In "Customer questions & answers" enter: "T-Mobile"
One result:
"I have T mobile as my provider.
By DJ Ed on January 1, 2022"
In addition, one user indicated he uses this with T-Mobile.
So I was confident this phone would work on T-Mobile.
And consider this. Another phone, ASIN B08TQKMB5Q:
"LG Velvet 5G G900UM 128GB AT&T GSM Unlocked Phone"
...
"Compatible with Carriers like T-Mobile, MetroPCS, Latin, etc."
Please notice that the above phone is also an UNLOCKED GSM phone, and it explicitly works with T-Mobile, as all UNLOCKED GSM phones should unless explicitly stated otherwise.
So it was a surprise to me that when I dropped in my T-Mobile sim, it did not work.
To verify I was setting it up correctly, i checked the IMEI on T-Mobile's web site.
The result was, "Incompatible device." See attached pic.
I also checked an AT&T based sim, FreedomPOP, and that did work.
Unfortunately, my main carrier is T-Mobile.
Maybe someone else also ordered this very same physical phone for use with T-Mobile as the seal was broken on the box. The seal should not be broken on a new phone; it was opened.
Also, on the screen protector, in the upper right, there were 3 small gashes - you usually don't see that on a brand new phone.
In addition, the battery was at absolute 0% charge. That seems abnormal.
Another buyer said his battery arrived at 50%.
So something is amiss.
As for the phone itself, it seemed pretty decent.
One of several things I did not like is turning off the phone.
1. You press and hold the power button. First signal of your intention to turn off the phone.
2. You confirm that you want to turn off the phone by pressing the Power off icon. Second signal you want the phone off.
3. Then they want you to confirm the previous confirmation by pressing "POWER OFF" on the screen!!!!
How many times do you have to tell it to turn off the phone? :)
Not a deal breaker, but why?
So i ended up wasting several hours of my time when it wasn't necessary; if they only had a better description.
Their only disclaimer is:
"This device is NOT compatible with MetroPCS."
