I have a verizon htc one m7 running a custom rom. I'm currently in Japan and decided to get a data only sim card. Registering on the site was fine, but when I put the sim card in the phone says that it is a non verizon sim. I've put in all the APN info and I think everything should work but it isn't. I've been looking for a solution for quite a while now but with no luck.

You will need to get the device sim unlocked from the carrier.

I just spoke to a VZ rep and they said I didn't need to get it unlocked in order to use it.

If you put in a sim and it tells you it is not a Verizon aim then it is locked and they have no idea what they are talking about. Which I hate to say is not uncommon for customer service people.
Just tell them you need it unlocked to be able to use international SIM cards.
Verizon HTC one comes sim unlocked out of the box. You must change the network type to global. On most stock based ROMs, it is set to CDMA/LTE only by default.
You must also double check that the carrier you are using utilizes the frequencies that the Verizon one supports. Below is the GSM bands the Verizon one supports:
UMTS/HSPA 900/2100MHz,
GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900MHz
The verizon one does not support WCDMA or AWS LTE.

the phone is SIM unlocked; you can use on any GSM carrier.

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...
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.

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
since sprint has a SIM slot, does this mean possible to unlock for ATT / T-mobile?
Nope
Sprint=CDMA
ATT/T-Mobile=GSM
Actually... Sprint HTC One = CDMA/LTE and GSM...
So yes it's technically possible, but there's been a few hiccups with getting it accomplished. The method to SIM Unlock the device that regular GSM providers use (pop in a third party SIM and it prompts you for an unlock code) doesn't work with the Sprint HTC One so it requires a bit more creativity to get it unlocked. Unless something's changed recently there hasn't been a whole lot of success with using it on domestic GSM networks either.

Even if you could do it, it's of limited utility since it only supports one 3G band out of the various 3G and 4G bands used by AT&T and T-Mobile in the US. Therefore, you may experience reduced data performance with the device in certain places.
i've "unlocked" my phone using a tutorial on this website, but i'm getting a simlock on my notifications when i put my att sim card in. heres some info to hopefully clear up any questions. i have had att for years thats how i have an att sim. the reason i have a sprint one is becuase i worked at sprint for a short time and received a dealer line and phone. all new htc one. so how can i use this on my att plan thank you

Just to clarify, what do you mean by you "unlocked" it. How did you do this? I'm pretty sure the only way to unlock our Ones is by going through sprint. Also if you do use it on ATT you won't get LTE because they have different LTE bands than sprint.

i unlocked it through a sprint all in one kit, maybe this was just for rooting it, but anyway I was justtrying to figure out if there was a wat to get my htc one on att, I'm not worried about the lte.

Ok, if you used the All In One toolkit then yes you are just rooted. To get your phone unlocked you will have to directly contact sprint!
Note also that in the US, depending on the location, AT&T operates on some combination of two 3G bands and two 4G bands. Of these four hi-speed data bands, the Sprint HTC One variant only supports one band. Therefore, even if you get the phone unlocked and working on AT&T, its data performance may not be all that great.
The phone is sim unlocked via an unlock code I bought but when I put my Verizon SIM card in it it won't make phone calls or texts our anything. The only thing it does is say not registered on network. The phone is rooted but I haven't had time to tinker with it yet.
Hi,
I will have your thread moved to your device section. You will need to register on XDA to respond to any replies.
Good luck!

I don't think that is pasible since Verizon is using CDMA and at&t is GSM

Verizon is not CDMA (used to be but dropped in favor of GSM) Sprint is CDMA Verizon is GSM just different bands you would need to change out the APN's to get any luck at all
Verizon is not gsm. That is total bs.. show a source.

The "sim" cards they use are for 4g data only. They are still cdma. Totally different concept. So I'll wait for you to post a credible link proving your statement...
