Android Central Question

I am confused as to how this happened. My LG stylo 3 walmart mobile (i know i know) phone stopped working, the network that is. The wifi still works though.
I have tried:
Master reset
the *#*#4636#*#* nothing comes up
taking the battery out while on
taking sim out and putting battery in reset then back in reset
I have tried putting airplane mode on resetting and turning it off.
I can not make or receive calls or texts.
I also contacted walmart, tracfone. They told me that I would need new sim. So i got that.. Nothing.
I have also tried the manual insert of APN.

Phone says
Network unknown
signal strength 0dBm 99asu
Mobile network type unknown
Service state Radio off
Roaming not roaming
mobile network state disconnected

I am completely stuck on this. I really need my phone. Any ideas on how to fix this?
 
No, The phone is over a year old, so there's no warranty on it. The radio is bad. (Electronics sometimes go bad.) Repairing the phone will cost more than buying a new one. (It needs at least a new motherboard, which means opening it up, unplugging a lot of tiny cables, etc., and you pay for the time it takes.)

I'd suggest that you buy another phone, do a factory reset on this one id you want to dump it, or keep it and use it for wifi. It can be repaired, it just doesn't pay to do so. If it has to be TracFone, there are a few phones that WalMart sells in the $50-$90 range (although the Stylo 3 was $1239). If you're looking to save money (TracFone isn't the cheapest guy on the block), and don't need much mobile data, look into Mint Mobile. Any phone that will work on TMobile's towers will work with Mint, and for 2GB of data/month (unlimited talk and text), if you pay in advance, it's only $15/month. (Only $25/month for 10GB.) (And I think WalMart's Family Plan uses TMobile, so those phones will work too.)
