Okay so I recently unclocked my crappy and now the T-Mobile network shows up under apns but it wont let me do anything on that network. So my first question is is there a way to change that. Probebly a stupid question BC I don't think an ATT sim can work on T-Mobile.
My second question is whether it not ATT charges for national data roaming.
Thanks for reading!!!!!

ATT charge for something? Don't you know you need for to pay for the air you breath in their offices? I honestly don't know but If ATT can charge you can bet they will.
Ya haha that's my mindset too.

Basicly im not talking about roaming. I just want to know if somehow I can trick my phone into using Verizon's towers as home towers. Roaming works but phone still uses Sprint towers as its base.

Best you could do is load a Verizon PRL which isn't the best solution for most people. Aside from that - no.
hmmm..not be mean but thats like saying i have a 9mm gun would it be possible to put ak47 ammo in it and go. Wont happen.

Apparently they now carry 4G SIM cards to allow access to their LTE network (see here). The details are a little sketchy, though, and I wouldn't bank on it working.
If you're really interested in doing this, I would suggest going directly to a Verizon store and speaking with someone there. Maybe even see if they'll let you test it out (probably not, but it can't hurt to ask).
The only other Verizon sim cards I found were international ones that allowed roaming on Vodafone's network. Since Verizon in the US uses CDMA for its non-4G network, SIM cards don't work. With a non-4G SIM card you would end up piggybacking on some other carrier's network.
That's my understanding, anyway.
Okay I have a droid incredible 2 it got damaged but it has a sim card its not 4g either so yeah

That's one of the international sim cards, which basically just lets it hop on GSM networks internationally when it doesn't have Verizon's US CDMA network.
So you mean its not possible

I can't say for certain. You would need to talk to someone at Verizon and ask them if their international GSM sim cards work here in the states.
My guess is that they'll tell you it will work, but since you would be essentially roaming all the time you're using it, it would be either costly or they wouldn't do it. Again, I'm not a Verizon employee, so I can't say that's 100% accurate, but that's my gut reaction.
Yeah ok makes sence my incredible 2 can only go into safe mode thats why I ask this

Have you tried putting the sim card on your captivate to see what happens?
Yes but verizon is so protective you have to have them activate it through the phones imei

Unfortunately verizon does not like you to be able to use at&t on there global phones so afaik there's no way to make it work.
Hey guys so i just got the galaxy s ii and sold my captivate running cm7 to my roommate. We turned off mobile data and stuff i thought we were golden. But later that night he got a text saying he was auto put into a data plan. There was about 5 mins at the start i forgot to go to cm7 settings and turn mobile data off. I am going to call at&T and make up something to get when to take it off. So after will he be golden? Or is there no way around it.
Note* when he wants to use data he uses wifi . Otherwise it sent let him.
Thanks!!

At&t will recognize the captivate via the imei number. Afaik no getting around the data plan for smartphone requirement.
No way to spoof the imei?

There are ways but you won't find the answer on xda.
Sadly AT&T is greedy like that. I know for a fact Tmobile PR doesn't care. =/
hello i have a question
im ordering a htc vivid. i currently have a htc inspire
when i recieve it can i just switch my inspire sim card and put it in the vivid and it will work while the vivid sim card would work in the inspire?
thanks
First of all what carrier are you with ? Any others, you are fine. (Vivid needs to be UNLOCK).
With ATT, you are better off getting a new SIM that is LTE ready (Regardless if your area has LTE signal or not) - In which will of course work on Inspire & Vivid - That's just my opinion - You can still use your old sim card if you decide to do nothing. You'll always get HSPA+ signal only.
Not to hate on the above post but you dont need a New sim I've been using the same sim since my inspire the only thing is you need to do is switch your plan to LTE that's the only thing that needs to be changed

I have att.I'm not trying to switch plans or anything.I'm fine with my network and signals I have now I just want to know if after I'm done setting up the HTC vivid with the sim card that comes with it it will work when I switch sim cards

The LTE similar is fancy though. But no you don't need one unless your in an LTE city.
I dont think LTE cost more. Just easier to go over your data cap. I don't know. Though. I've been on the same contract for years and years. So long I get an upgrade every year.

Retail stores will give you one. Corporate stores will probably charge you. All they do is convert your current data plan to an equivalent plan that's coded LTE in their system. As far as i know this is what gives you access to the pta APN that allows you to use LTE
Couldn't you just go to APN settings and create an APN?
Sent from my HTC Inspire 4G using xda premium
I did the same thing (switched from Inspire to Vivid). You will need to make sure you do have an LTE approved SIM. It shouldn't cost you a dime to do. If your SIM is recent odds are you are fine.
I did have to call and have them check the settings on their side. I was not getting LTE and I live in an LTE area. So a 10min phone call fixed it.

If you have unlimited data and want to keep it you are going to need to upgrade to the lte sim.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1455702&page=1
If you aren't on unlimited then I don't think it will matter. You can run with the sim from your inspire.
Dear lord quit trying to confuse the op, the hspa sim and the LTE sim are the same if you got a new sim when you got your inspire which you pretty much had to , if you aren't in an LTE area don't worry about switching your plan , if you are you can make a two min phone call and they will provision your current data to LTE it doesn't matter if its unlimited or not you will still keep unlimited

COME ON.
When you know you have no idea what you're talking about, just don't respond.
OP, yes, you can do it. If you unlock it, get a sim card, the phone will work, will get data, will make calls on Tmobile.
It will not get LTE, only 3g. I believe there's something to do with Tmobile's upgrading towers to support different frequencies, so you should look into/inquire about that.
But yes, it will work to some capacity.

Thanks alot man I'll look into it :thumbup:

Correct. You will not get LTE with Tmobile. Because TMobile uses the 1700 frequncy for LTE which is AKA LTE Band 4. But you might be able to get HSPA+ 4G on the 1900 freq in refarmed areas.
I believe the Sprint HTC ONE doesn't have 1700.

I have received 2 termination notices in the past 3 years. Each time saying they were going to terminate my account due to excessive roaming. I continued to roam no less than I ever have and my account has never been cancelled. Just curious to see if anyone has actually been cancelled or if they just threaten.
