My guess would be that either Net 10 is an approved subsidiary of AT&T and thus allowed to use the AT&T network, or, it's been carrier unlocked, so it can be used on any carrier in the GSM bands.

check this one out:

The frequencys won't work for Att or north American carriers I am actually looking for one with Att freqs.

What do you mean the frequecies won't work for AT&T?
850/900/1800/1900
LTE frequency does not work however. But San Juan (as far as I know) doesn't even have LTE.
As for as "unbranded with AT&T freqs" you're not gonna find one. The Veloicity is their carrier unlocked, unbranded version. So just buy a Vivid.
I have a Vivid.
I was referring to 3G and LTE freqs And San Juan Has LTE since December.
I want the Unbranded one for use on The Claro Network who also has LTE in San Juan and works on the same frequencys as At&t.
I already found out that the Vivid will work and just purchased another one.

Since we don't have a way of unlocking the phone yet via root methods, you're going to have to pay some unlocking "company" to get your phone unlocked.
I called at&t and asked for the unlock code they said they will send it by email but I checked some unlock sites for pricing and it would cost about 25 usd

You're kidding! In Australia, Telstra give us the phone already unlocked if we are on a plan, with the only exception being the iPhones that are easily unlocked for free from the carrier anyway.

AT&T sucks, that's why.
I fly the Aussie flag on my profile because that's where I'm from; I'm currently based in the USA right now, though.
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

Thanks for the replys
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?

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
....and boom goes the dynamite....

t-mobile, orange and ee are all essentially the same network. I'm pretty sure that if you're not able to get a 4g signal ee will instantly switch over to on of the other 3g networks to ensure you have a signal at all times.
Don't worry - it will change eventually.
My HTC One X did the same for a few days.
I think it relies on a network update to come through.
Thanks I am on s tmobile contract.

TBH, you'd be better off buying a HTC One ATT/T-Mo variant since (I think, but haven't looked up) all frequencies work on it.
Anyways, you should be able to just insert the SIM and you should be good to go. Make sure you go into your Mobile Network settings, and change the mode to GSM. Alternatively you could go into testing (*#*#4636#*#*) and change the mode to something like WCDMA preferred.
Hi all just read over the weekend that straight talk is now allowing Verizon 4g Lte phones on their service and getting the lte with a SIM using Verizon towers. So has anyone been able to flash a Sprint HTC one to Verizon and been able to get Lte with the Verizon SIM?
