I want to buy HTC one(unlocked) from their website.
It's an unlocked phone, my question is what is the difference between AT&T HTC one and Unlocked HTC one. ? Will that be recognized as an AT&T phone.
I am using International Galaxy s3 i9300 and AT&T doesn't recognize it. I have $15 unlimited non-smartphone data plan with it. Can i do the same thing with unlocked HTC one.
Please advice guys i am very desperate to buy this. Thanks. And BTW apart from trade-in coupons do you have any coupons that i can apply ?

Lets see the most noticeable differences are an unlocked bootloader and no AT&T bloatware/icons. Even my at&t one doesn't show up as a one on my account haha. It's just the generic clamshell pic.
As for the medianet working here is the best place to ask about it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1446373. This thread covers all things smartphone on medianet!

This just seems pure price discrimination to me. You guys in the US are lucky, our HTC One here $750.
Are there any US exporters that the UK guys have used to save some ££?

Hi all
I have a Telstra (AU) SIM locked HTC one and they want $100 unlock it
After paying $700 for the phone I'm a little short of cash so am wondering if there is a free SIM unlock option?
Hi Ipguy,
Where did you purchase the phone from?
I work for Telstra, and can confirm that handsets we sell outright (excluding iPhones ) aren't locked. They certainly have Telstra 'bloatware', have the APN settings for WAP and MMS, but will take any providers SIM straight out the box.
The only handsets that are locked are iPhones and handsets packaged with a pre-paid SIM..
Can you tell me who advised it would be $100 to unlock an unlocked handset?

Hi mercury670
I purchased the phone from jbhifi outright two weeks ago, I called Telstra's customer support number the other day and was advised that it would cost $100 upto 12 months from purchase, and $25 upto 2yrs from purchase.
I didn't get the persons name unfortunately

Well that's the thing, the phone came with a Telstra SIM in the box, and I was given a $60 credit on the phone if I signed up to Telstra, which I did to get the discount and then I cancelled the account.
So the salesman didn't do me any favours from what I understand
Just sounds like an in-house promo thru JB's. Honestly tho, just put another providers SIM in there. I could bet $ it'll work fine without restriction. Just be sure to remove the Telstra APN's and replace them with your own providers' for WAP and MMS.

I just bought an unlocked HTC One direct from HTC. I was planning to use it with the T-Mobile $30 plan, but I've since read that the unit that ships from HTC directly only has AT&T radios. Is this true?
If I want to use the device on the T-Mobile plan, should I cancel this order?
If I root the device (as I've done with my Galaxy Nexus) can I download and install the T-Mobile radios manually?

Hi guys,
I had a Galaxy S3 that died (suddent death problem) and I don't want another samsung device. I really liked the One and I need some help choosing the right one.
I liked the Black version a lot and I would like to get one. AT&T uses the same bands that we have here in Brazil and could work here fine. But I would also have to sim unlock it and to unlock the bootloader (for root acess). Additionally, I don't know that are the differences (hardware and software wise) from the AT&T version and the direct HTC version.
Since I will be using her ein Brazil, with no warrant, I will install a custom ROM.
The other option would be ordering the Silver HTC version direclty from HTC Shop online. I will save on tax (I think that HTC doesn't charge tax to ship the phone to California) will get a sim unlocked phone and it will be easier to boot unlock it.
So what do you guys suggest?
BTW: Do you know if I can buy the One AT&T version, in a store without a US address (can be AT&T store or Best Buy)? Of course I'll be buy it with no plan, but I don't know if AT&T would sell it for someone that doesn't have a US address.
Thanks
PS: Do you know if AT&T sells one month pre-paid voice and data plan? Instead of using my own Brazilian number, and paying for international roamming I want to get a one month voice and data plan to use while on my vacation.
Not too sure about the AT&T ones and the bands that are used in Brazil, but I can confirm that black units chip quite easily. There's lots of reports of the colour coming off after some use. My gf's black HTC One already has some parts at the top chip off revealing the silver underneath after less than 2 weeks use, all the while being carried in a leather pouch.

Yeah.. All my previous phones were AT&T version (except for the S3 - I got the International Version) and they all worked fine here. So the AT&T version is second only to the HTC International version.
Didn't know about the chip problem. I always use Skinomi screen and body protector, but even the chip could be a problem in the future.
And how about the Camera glass breaking problem? Does anyone knows if the new units still suffering from this issue?

I haven't actually seen a broken camera lens, and have not seen any reports of it on any local forums as well (we have a thread for HTC One that is like 3000 pages long now lol). Could be very isolated issues
And do you have any information about Sim Unlock and Bootloader unlock for the AT&T version?

I had an order in with LetsTalk shipping to CA, and they did charge sales tax.
Hi,
Many carriers like at and t , verizon offer a very low price for HTC ONE. The price was very reasonable too. But if i buy one (locked - contracted) and unlock it, will it work in India with airtel, idea etc?
It just costs 300USD for a 64GB HTC ONE for a 2 year contacted phone. Factory unlocked and third person unlocked are very pricey ( 400$ ) . So , if i buy one, will it work if i unlock it? If so, how do i unlock it?
Thank You
Hoping For an answer soon .
Sorry if im doing anything wrong, im new here ._.
Anyone? :S

If its a GSM phone, it will work bindaas
If its CDMA, then HELL NO
Verizon and Sprint WILL NOT WORK
The GSM phone will have to be unlocked though.
Just FYI, factory unlocked is a LOT more than $400
A new One will be at least 35K INR
Check on ebay.in... There are few at lower price, and as said by raghav, GSM will work, as mine is working too on idea..... Buy after m8 is released at the end of this month, prices might fall down for htc one

You do realize that you'll still have to pay the termination fee in case you break the contract? Also, the price without a contract is $669.

Its is just a Down-payment for the device, you might have to sign a 1 or 2 year contract with AT&T and use their services.

You can get one for around 25k on Ebay. Look for unlocked ones. These won't carry warranty in India though...

24.5k is an AMAZING deal
however, the phone needs to be a 'CDMA Global Ready' and must come with a removable SIM to work in India.
Check whether these 2 conditions are met. Or post the link to the phone if available
Bought Xiaomi Mi3.. didn't wanna risk 24k

raghav kapur is spot on. I have got 'like new' gsm phones from ebay and swappa ; sim unlocked them either via software or buying a 3 dollar unlocking service from ebay (there are many of them), and using it in India. I have no experience wiith CDMA phones.
Remember, official warranties never get transferred the moment you buy a pre owned phone. [ymmv as sometimes the US store associates help you out]
I will not recommend signing a US contract and terminating it. If you are not aware of how your credit rating is related to SSN and how it stays on your profile for long long time, please research about this. Credit profiles in US are little tighter compared to credit profiles in India. Further , warranty of US phones is not honored outside US.
Although pricier option, getting a factory unlocked phone 'MAY' give you global warranty and you can get service from India outlets too. Please double check before buying.

Actually Verizon will work. Ever since the HTC Rezound (Sensation XE clone for Verizon) all HTC phones made for Verizon are SIM unlocked and global ready. They have both GSM and CDMA radio radios in them. Albeit, the GSM radio only supports global frequencies so you have to be sure your carrier uses the same freq.
"Verizon: 800/1900MHZ, UMTS/HSPA 900/2100MHz,GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900MHz, LTE 700MHz (Band 13)"
from HTC's site on what the Verizon branded HTC one will support. Please understand what you are telling people before you say it will not work.
http://www.htc.com/us/smartphones/htc-one-m7/
Source link click specs and scroll to "network" it shows each m7 brand and what frequencies it will support.
