[Q] HTC One and iPhone 5 - Sprint HTC One (M7)

Hey I have a sprint HTC One and im wondering if i trim my sim card and put it on a Sprint iPhone 5 would it work ? If it does can someone tell me.. I just want to swap phones whenever i want too

You have to call sprint in order to swap phones. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the SIM card is only for international uses. Not Sprint to Sprint

I don't think it works like that on sprint see the sim card is just to get on lte. I remember when I got my replacement HTC one the sim card stayed the same but in the system sprint said it didn't match the one they had on record so my phone wasn't connecting to LTE. After a quick call and putting the right numbers in I got LTE. So you would still need the phone to be active which involves calling sprint to do the swap

Yes. The phone uses the sim card to connect to LTE. That's the only reason it is there. Your phone number isn't attached to it like GSM. So swapping the sim card won't do anything.

Thanks guys for the help I got my answer

Nah, they are all wrong. Just go.ahead and use a pair of scissors or a sharp.exactly knife to trim away the excess plastic.
I've done it a million times...

Pretty sure I know a thing or two. I mean you can trim it down and stuff it in a different phone but that's not going to swap your phone number to that phone.

Verizon getting HTC One

It's been rumored and all but confirmed since it was originally released on other carriers, but it was spotted at FCC. One thing... If they get an SD card slot I'm raising Hell. Who's with me?

You're on your own with that one.
I could give a flying hoot about a SD card slot after using the One and the Galaxy nexus previously. Everything I need is on the cloud.

Pretty sure that's not going to happen, unless it's not really a "One" but a variant thereof. If memory serves me right, the only reason One variants with SD card slots exist (I think the ones in Asia?) is because some markets use smaller radio kits, which allowed for just enough space to cram an SD card reader in.
Well I mean, Verizon has gotten their own special variants before, so I wouldn't rule it out of the question

Neither would I, but HTC has pushed pretty damn hard on keeping the One uniform across as many markets as possible, so it's less of a tossup than previous handsets.
Last years model of the one series the Sprints Evo LTE came with a sd slot and no other did.
I would gladly pay the early termination fee, resell my phone to get my money back, and switch over to Verizion. Hell, even if there's no sdcard slot, I might switch, because I getting sick of Sprint ahha.

I used to have the sprint/nextel network for my work phone and I loved the push the talk feature but sprint has went downhill and there coverage overall is horrible. The one thing keeping me at Verizon is the coverage. The prices are quite high though

(Q) need someone help

So I got a HTC one but didn't come with the 4g lte sim card, so the annoying notifications about no SIM can't be removed
My question is could someone get me a 4g lte sim card? Only reason I'm asking is cuz I'm not on sprint
Please and thanks

I believe they're only for Sprint customers, since it's for sprint Lte...you probably need to use a SIM from whatever carrier you're on.

I'm confused... I think we need to clarify some things here.
1) It sounds like you bought an HTC One without a SIM card, are you sure this is a Sprint HTC One? Why did it have no SIM?
2) Was your intent to get a Sprint SIM card and flash the phone to Cricket?
3) What are you looking to do with another person's SIM card?

Complete shot in the dark, and unlikely to work, but if you hold your finger on the notif, do you get an App Info option? If you do, you could deselect "Show Notifications".

New Red Htc One

As we may all know the exclusive red htc one is on sprint as of now. I was wondering if this has a sim slot and if it can be unlocked to work as a world phone.

Ummm. Yes?
Why would it be different from any other HTC One? You do know that all LTE phones on Sprint have SIM cards, right? The One is one of the first to have it user accessible, though.
The answer to your question is yes, but it will only work with voice and very very slow 3G.
Yes it does have a sim. I was just in a Sprint store looking at it. It looks pretty awesome. I recently traded my black One for a galaxy note 2 and the phone feel so small in my hand now

I've lost the option for roaming and many other settings that I am unable to click on. My phone lost service back around August 3rd and hasn't had any since Now that more folks are working with this phone, maybe a fix will be found.

You will have to call Sprint International Services and tell them you are traveling overseas and if you meet certain requirements they will unlock it. If not you will just have to wait for somebody to find a fix if you want it unlocked.
To the 2 ppl that replied (and anyone out there) did you tried popping an att/tmobile Sim and see if it works? the m7 came unlocked no?

The M7 did not come unlocked. It was the same thing with that phone. You had to call to unlock it, internationally. It was them sim unlocked for all but you had to be rooted.
