I have a T-Mobile version N1 and I'm wondering if I will be able to use my phone in France if just pop in a pre-paid SIM card. I've read a bunch of stuff online that makes it seem like only the AT&T version will have access to 3G and I'll only be stuck with EDGE. Is this true?
Thanks
French 3G operators have license for 2100MHz and 900MHz 3G bands.
Your TMO N1 will work just fine.
I have an unlocked Bell Vibrant. I am planning a 10 day trip to the US next month and saw that the Bell travel plans are absolute rip-offs.
I was thinking of buying a prepaid SIM once in the US, similar to something shown here http://www.usasims.com
Will this work with my phone, I am not sure it the I9000m is a gsm phone or not. I guess its quad band, so it should work...but looking for some assurance and advice!!
Thanks!!
You'll need to get an att Sim card to utilize 3g. Only 2g won't work Verizon's cdma network
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

The purpose of this post is to inform those seeking to use the HTC One on AT&T should NOT use the T-Mobile version of the HTC one on the AT&T network due to poor reception issues. Issues may arise from the enabled 42mb hspa+ and/or the inclusion of the 1700 band. Or maybe its just the T-Mobile radio.
I was originally on T-Mobile with a T-Mobile HTC One in Atlanta, Georgia. T-Mobile's coverage wasn't working out for me in buildings so I SIM unlocked the phone and took it over to AT&T. Everything works but AT&Ts coverage was always changing from 1 bar of LTE to barely any bars of hpsa+. I got a AT&T branded HTC One and inserted my SIM and got 2-3 bars of LTE when I was getting either none or one bar of LTE service. I am also getting about 90% more LTE coverage than I previously had with the T-Mobile HTC One on AT&T's network.
I took back the AT&T HTC One as I could not afford to pay full price for the phone at this time. I am still using the T-Mobile HTC One on AT&T and will buy one when they get cheaper.
On a side not my wife has a T-Mobile IPhone 5 and got it unlocked and switch over to AT&T with me and is getting comparable LTE coverage as the AT&T HTC One version. It sucks cause she will have 3 bars of LTE service and I will have 1 bar of hspa+. I wish there was a fix for this rather than having to go through selling the old one and getting a new one. I love my HTC One .
Hello everyone! I am trying to switch over to Straight Talk because my current carrier, nTelos, has been bought by Shentel and I was told that my current phone could not be used on the new network. Even though nTelos goes off of both the Sprint and Verizon network, my phone will not be able to use the new network that is owned by Sprint. (Which honestly confuses me since my phone has been running off the nTelos, Sprint, and Verizon networks just fine.)
Anyways, I was wondering if it was possible to use the AT&T or T-Mobile sim cards that come with the Straight Talk activation kit. I am wondering because AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon all use 1900MHz on band 2 for LTE. Also, the AT&T and T-Mobile variants have some of the same LTE bands as the nTelos variant. So, is it possible or should I just stick to the Verizon sim card that came with the activation kit?
Never mind. I can't get any of the sim cards in the kit to work with the phone.
