I am going to sell my HTC One and wanted to unlock it first so I bought an unlock code. The only non ATT sim I have is a verizon one but this is not making the phone ask for a sim card... Will a verizon sim card not trigger this? Do I need to use a GSM sim card?

What is the reason people unlock there sim card?
I keep reading people unlock it, but I don't see the reasons why. Nobody seems to do anything with it once it is unlocked.
So my question is - Why should I unlock it and What can I do once I unlock it.
My 8125 Unlocked Becuz iam with cingular right now and if i switch with a different company like t-mobile i just insert my SIM Card!
Becuz the phone its unlocked and i can use any SIM Card With it!
I SIM unlocked my 8125's because I use T-Mobile.
If you use AT&T, then there's no reason to SIM unlock your 8125 except maybe for resale value. You're more likely to find more interested buyers if your phone can work with T-Mobile or any other provider worldwide. I always SIM unlock my phones before throwing them up for sale on eBay.
Ok so unlocking the sim is not Unlocking the actuial SIM, but making it so any sim could work in it. Ok now I get it . Thank you.

hey guys, my friend bought me a diamond in canada which works on CDMA network, and where i live there is only GSM network...
is it possible to unlock it somehow?
if anyone knows please help me.
thanks.
Nope, not a snowball's chance in hell. CDMA phones don't use SIM cards, nor will they ever support the insertion of a SIM card, so it'd be useless on your network. Sorry.

You are partly wrong on this about not using SIM card at all. Yes, CDMA phone will never work on GSM unless, there's also a slot on the CDMA phone for SIM card, like some of those international phone sell by Verizon and sprint awhile ago. Now, there are some CDMA phone that are selling in China that actually use something similar to SIM card, called USIM. Hell, even the KDDI au from Japan use SIM card, and they are CDMA network too...
thank you guys that was helpfull

I'm almost positive that you should be able to pop in any sim card, pre- or post-paid, and it should work...
i just tested it with a nextel chip with a plan but no data service and i still get no bars??? i will try to put up some pics....please help if ya can...thanks
As far as I know Nextel doesn't use GSM networks it has it's own iDEN network, I don't know what the difference is, or if it should work with a GSM receiver but I can't say I'm surprised it doesn't work. Also from what I've heard, the phone has only received FCC certifications on T-Mob and AT&T for the phone you have, Verizon passed separately. Again, don't know if this helps, but I'm not shocked it doesn't work. Your phone is carrier unlocked, it came that way from HTC and unlocking the bootloader has nothing to do with which carriers it will work with.
no all i did was i bought it on a tmobile network through google then i had unlock the bootloader then rooted the phone now is there a way to use differ carriers??? i did not buy it unlocked......from google.....so is there a way ?

Dude... your question is moot! The phone, even if bought on a T-mobile line, IS NOT LOCKED TO ANY SPECIFIC CARRIER! You can pop in ANY GSM SIM CARD, and it will work. I bought mine on a T-mobile upgrade... but I can throw in an AT&T, Rogers, Fido, Vodaphone, etc., SIM, and it will work just fine.
o okay will try it out with att thanks...
I already rooted my IS2 but wanted to unlock sim card my carrier is Verizon but wanted to be used with other carriers.

You should contact Verizon for an unlock code. If they won't provide you with one then you need to contact one of the sites on the Internet and purchase an unlock code for your phone.
Unlike a lot of previous HTC devices, a software solution to SIM unlock your phone no longer works on the IncS.
Thanks for the info...
I don't know how it is in the States but here in Gemany I usually got such a code with every SIM-card I bought... Maybe search dow your papers?
EDIT: OH sorry, got that wrong... Thought your SIM is locked not your phone SIM-locked Confuusing
In the olden days that question would be cut-and-dry based on the radio types in the phone, but now I'm not so sure (last I knew Sprints network was CDMA). So could I buy the Sprint HTC One and then put my AT&T SIM card in it and run it on AT&T?

Nope. Networks are different, at some point you might be able to get LTE working but even that won't work out of the box.

It does not.....
To repeat, the Sprint model has NO SIM slot.

yes it does.
The Sprint HTC One does have a sim slot just as the AT&T model and international model.

LTE is a GSM technology so every cdma phone with LTE has a SIM card for that purpose.
Do some research before you tell someone the wrong thing

The Sprint HTC One has a GSM radio but Sprint has to unlock it and it will not work with US networks. It will only work internationally. So no, you can't use an AT&T SIM card in the Sprint One.
The Sprint HTC One sim card slot is located directly across from the volume rocker. The volume is on the right and sim slot is on the left. Use a sim tool or a paperclip and push the little hole and the tray is right there in front of you.
Since LTE is used for data only on at&t, even if you were able to unlock the sprint phone, you'd have no voice. Also there's the matter of at&t LTE frequencies vs sprint.
i have htc one from sprint in red and sim is close by pwr button around corner, try different sim and it not ask for pin or code it just say simlock enabled if slide down menu. how to make it work with gsm sim?
.....
ok after reading this forum get it work wit gsm network and local sim , in short I did unlock bootloader , root, unlock sim
