Going international with CDMA networks and phones is not usually done, and may not work. Also as it's a Sprint device, probably the Master Subsidy Lock(MSL) will have to be released, otherwise it won't have Internet access, even on WiFi. There's quite a few threads about that on AF.

The problem is that phones that are blacklisted in the US and Canada can still be used Internationally, provided they are hybrid GSM/CDMA devices. They are being sold cheaply right now. Chances are that's what you've purchased anyway.

AFAICT this Sprint version of the G Stylo doesn't have GSM modes in it apparently. Although according to willmyphonework.net it has partial 3G compatibility with the Tata Docomo network in India. No 4G.

Well maybe there is a chance. I couldn't find the Sprint LG Stylo 2. The Metro PCS LG Stylo 2 Plus was listed.

May still have the Sprint MSL to deal with. Where the phone is locked to Sprint's proxy, and so won't have Internet access without a current Sprint account associated with it. That's what I understand from several threads here on AF.
FWIW I've seen a few Sprint and Verizon phones turn up here in China, and not just from US expats bringing them in.
