NO
Your provider should support it, it has nothing to do with sim-card.
Just put it in and the phone will ask you to set GPRS settings for your provider.

Actually not really true. In Singapore, mobile users were asked to upgrade their G SIMs to 3G SIMs when 3G was introduced widely here.
I guess it would depend on your service provider and how old your SIM is.

That's something you should ask your provider.
Hi guys, excuse me for my bad English
I have HTC IS from UK and now I'm in US and already get a sim-card from AT&T
Unfortunately, the seller told me the data plan will not work in my phone because it's not American device or not from AT&T :/
I don't know if I can input the at&t apn settings manually to pick up data and mms?
I hope anyone can help me on this one

Yes you can manually input the AT&T APN settings on the IncS. Since you have a European IncS, you don't have the HSPA bands to get 3G, but the settings will connect using EDGE. Just search this forum for the AT&T APN settings.
I already try to put it manually but it doesn't work :/
I planning to buy Galaxy S II Skyrocket from ebay (cheaper that the store). Also, the phone is brand new from AT&T (the logo in the phone)
When I asked the seller about will the data work or not, he said it will not work!
It must be in a contract and also it's 4G...! :/
What does he mean by that?!
The skyrocket is a LTE phone I think so it uses a different similar card.

I purchased a galaxy s3 I9305 today. I have rooted it and installed supernexus. It all seems to be going well but now when I go into the network settings and choose LTE/WCDMA/GSM, as soon as I exit it reverts back to WCDMA preferred. I am in LTE reception. The only thing I can think of is my sim card. My sim card is almost 7 years old, I had to cut it down to fit the s3. I have read varying things regarding 4g sim cards. Could this be the reason?
Hmmm... try and change sim card from your operator? Maybe 4g sim card is different?

have you checked your APN?

I have used the APN from the virgin website and still no luck. I have been searching the forums to see if there was a difference between 3g and 4g sims. Most people say there aren't but I have heard that any sim older than 5 years won't be 4g ready. Is this correct?
Your operator must provide you with a new sim lte enabled. But to be honest 4g isn't a big deal, I have my i9305 still on 3g. Cheaper and longer battery life at the price of a slower connection, but most of the time I'm on a wifi.

i have heard of those rumors too... but i heard that if the sim can support 3g, it can support 4g.. give virgin a call? maybe they need to activate the 4g service on their side?

i'm from singapore so our 4g service is an add-on. to get 4g, we have to pay a little bit of extra money and our provider will activate the service for us..
Definitely change your SIM card. Some operators give a 1-1 exchange for free. Just show them your phone and they should be quite happy to change your sim card for free especially if your plan is 4G enabled.
Hi All,
I am using two Units of HTC One Developer Editions. With one handset the problem is it's connecting to 2G network. 3G works fine. I tried with MTNL sim and it worked and after that my first SIM which was not connecting to 2G also worked and after couple of hours situation came back and now the unit is only working with 3G network. Is there anyone else facing the same problem ??:crying:
Does anyone have any solution for this ??
Regards,
Mahesh
EDIT : After Doing S-OFF , now my handset it connecting to both the networks i.e. 2G and 3G
Thanks Moonlight Team ReOne Team
Mod's Please CLOSE this thread !! Thanks Everyone !!

I'm sorry to hear this, why would you want to use high end phones on 2G network, no offense at all. Just curious

because In india there are some places where we do not have 3G connectivity..
It might just be wonky signal in your area for 2G.
Also if you are using hand cut old sim, just get it changed to proper micro sim from MTNL. I had similar issues with SGS4 and MTNL Mumbai sim until I changed the sim card itself. Hard to explain but it solved my issue. It was very old sim which I cut using sim cutter.
Not facing any issue with 2G signal at all. There are areas in certain areas where I have to go (mainly basement) where there is no 3G and 2G works just fine on EDGE.

So you mean to say there is no problem with the handset, cos it worked with MTNL. ??
But it's not working with MTNL and Airtel.....and yes Airtel SIM is very old i mean it's around 3 years old sim.
Thanks !!
The sim card issues in cases of cut sim cards is well documented to be honest. No matter how well we cut it, sometimes they just dont work right on these newer phones. Over last 1 year I had to get new micro sim for most of my and my family member's numbers as one fine day the cut sim will simply not catch network and then realised the common problem with them all. All of them were cut either using micro sim template by hand or using sim cutters. After getting proper micro sim, the problem went away. This is not specific to One but happens with lot of new phones that require micro sim including Nexus 4, SGS4 and Nexus 7 3G tablets.
