APN's are based on carrier, not area

[Q] Making old Alltel Milestone work with Verizon

So I live in central Wisconsin and have a Milestone that is just sitting on my desk. I would love to get it running so it will work on the Verizon network. I know this is possible. I have it Flashed as a droid, my friend did this for me, but the PRL isn't correct. Any help/advice? I want to be able to sell this thing to have extra cash.
Thanks
uh Droid is CDMA and Milestone is GSM.
I'm in Canada so I really don't know if Verizon has a GSM network.
It definitely has CDMA since Droids run on it.

Alltel used Verizon towers to roam so it should be the same. Plus Verizon bought out most of Alltel.

[noob question] will the HTC one unlocked from htc store work on sprint and t-mobile?

thread title... my sprint epic 4g touch jsut broke and im still 2 months away from ending contract... planning to buy the unlocked htc one, use it on sprint for a while then switch to the 30$ t-mobile prepaid plan... will it work for both carriers?
sorry for the noob question, i know this kind of question gets ridiculed but just want to really make sure
No on Sprint. Yes on T-Mobile. However on T-Mobile you will not get HSPA+ unless you are on a refarmed area. You will get LTE when T-Mobile rolls it out in your area.

awesome, thanks for the quick reply. it seems like i am in a refarmed area (i checked airport.de and my area seems to have an abundance of dots) so it should be fine. Guess I'll just sit around for a bit with my old dumb CDMA htc hero and wait for now I guess!

Best plan for LTE Version of HTC One?

I'm moving to Florida from Canada, and I'm having some trouble finding a good LTE plan there. I've checked out Straight Talk, AIO Wireless and Net10, but none of them seem to offer LTE? Is there a reseller, or a plan available through AT&T that offers LTE and possible calls to Canada? I'm using the Telus version of the HTC One.

at&t or tmobile. tmobile is no contract so that would be my first choice
Hate to say it, but check out att. They have a Canadian plan too for making calls into Canada.

Hi all,
Speaking of LTE plans. Is there a prepaid LTE SIM you can suggest that will work on my International version HTC One? I'll be having my vacation in California and would like to have working LTE while I'm there. Grateful on your advise.

As far as I can tell the only carrier that has decent rates on prepaid LTE is T-Mobile right now ($30/month with 200 voice minutes, unlimited texting, 5GB data). That said, they have a very small LTE footprint. AT&T's prepaid GoPhone service now has LTE support but it's a lot more expensive.
Either tmobile unlimited lte for 70$ a month or att which will cost more but you will get better coverage outside of cities. Plus they have plans to call to canda but if you get tmobile you can WiFi call to canada for free I believe with certain tmobile plans. If you won't be traveling on highways or to rural areas get tmobile for sure but if coverage is important for you and you would like speeds greater than edge outside of any major city get att but your looking easily over 100$ a month
Tmobile unlimited everything
And they don't slow your speeds down anymore
You can get unlimited minutes with att if you pay for it but you will not get unlimited data 30$ for 3 gb 10$ a gb after that never gets slowed down either but you pay for overages.
Really it all comes down to were you will be and travel and how important coverage is to you
I have att bit I travel out if cities all the time and go to metros and rural areas so I have to have att I can't be on edge every time I leave the city. You will still be able to make calls with tmobile but forget about getting on internet if your not in a populated area
It all comes down to preference but those are you two best options
Sprint is worse than tmobile for coverage and they don't have SIM cards only t mobile and att
My personal opinion to you though is if money isn't a issue get att you will get way better coverage and way better lte
I'm talking 60mbps + dl 20 + ul
Depending on area of course but I've never seen tmobile with these speeds and I live in Oklahoma city Oklahoma so if I get that here with att image what att would be in Florida

[Q] Verizon HTC One (M7) in Canada

Hi all,
I have a Verizon HTC One (M7) that I've brought with me to Canada. According to Verizon, because the phone is an international 4G LTE phone, it is already unlocked. I plan to cancel my Verizon number and get a new service from one of the wireless providers here (Telus (Koodo), Rogers (Fido), or Bell). I would like to know which one of these operators will be able to provide me with 4G LTE data service (if any)?
I am currently using my phone with my Verizon service on Rogers' network, and I have access to data with only 3G speeds (I'm not sure it's HSPA+ or not; it says only 3G on the screen). The phone obviously is capable of higher data speeds, but I was not able to find which carrier provides 4G LTE service on the same frequency band(s) that my Verizon M7 phone is using. I found this page on the frequency bands my phone uses, but it's rather confusing.
Could anybody give me some tips? Any help is really appreciated.
Thanks a lot...
nobody knows a Verizon One M7 is campatible with which Canadian carrier?
