Just in case anyone was wondering in order to unlock your phone you will need to access the unlock menu to enter the 16 digit unlock code. To get to the unlock menu you will need to open the phone app and type 2945#*820#. This works for the eXpo. I would assume with the IQ it is 2945#*825#, but I would need an IQ user to test that.

I can confirm that is the menu code for a IQ.

Thanks for confirming. Makes sense that the last 3 digits are the same as the model number.

It flashed that for a second then proceeded to the lock screen, where it says, you have ten attemps to unlock the phone or it will be locked out.

I have an IQ and it went to the Service Provider unlock screen but the codes that I purchased did not work.

I purchased the octpous box though and it worked!  So now I have an unlocked IQ! Hooray!

The box with shipping was about $240.  It took a few tries but unlocked it.  So now I am using it on Rogers.  You just have to remember to get the wap settings for whatever carrier you are going to use the phone on.

Wow,

That is a lots of cash to unlock a phone, do you have to connect the phone to the device?

Maybe you can sell unlocking services to others with LG IQ and recoup some of your money.
