You're suppose to be able to pull verizon sim and insert cricket sim. The phone should hopefully recognize it. (mine for some reason isn't right now but my wife's had no problem.) Quick side note is that sometimes the APN settings don't load but you can pull those straight from Cricket's site to get internet working.

I took my phone out of the box, inserted my Cricket SIM, and it worked immediately. The only downside I've found is that LTE was not supported (at least in my area of Western NY). You will probably have to set the APN: (per Cricket)

From what I can see it looks like th eTILT will work with Verizon.
We used to live in Nashville and moved to Oak Ridge and Cingular/AT&T here SUCKS.
From what I can find Verizon works best around here.
I am wanting to keep my Tilt and use it with Verizon if at all possible.
Mine IS CID and SIM unlocked.
1. Will it work ?
2. Can I still access the internet and email as with AT&T?
3. What are the network settings for Verizons internet/email access ?
4. Is there a Verizon cab for the settings ?

No I am sorry to tell you but Verizon uses CDMA and AT&T uses GSM the only other major American carrier that uses GSM is TMobile you will need to unlock your phone then it will be able to use Tmobile simm cards.
Yeah, where did you see that it would work?
"From what I can see it looks like th eTILT will work with Verizon."
It was hinted here that it would work, but was not clear.

Darn that realy sucks.
I have the Google Edition and am on ST ( AT&T ) , I previously owned an HTC ONE X+ and had no problems getting LTE/4G but with the Google Edition I only get HSPA+. Is there a way to get LTE/4G on this device? Would it be possible to simply flash the radio's or an entire Rom for AT&T version.....or is it simply a "hardware" issue? Please advise....Thanks!!
I get LTE (displayed in the toolbar) on my GPe One on AT&T. Check Settings -> More... -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names, and make sure "ATT Phone" is selected and not "ATT WAP". Aside from that, I can't help!
FWIW, I used the official GPe RUU to turn my AT&T One into a GPe One, and have had no issues with LTE.
In addition to what was posted above, do the following.
Go do Phone>*#*#4636#*#*>Phone Information and set the preferred network type to "GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto". That's what it should be. But now that I think about it, the the GPE didn't have that setting available to me. I had to pick something close. I think it said "LTE/GSM auto (PRL)". I don't think it is the correct setting for a phone on AT&T, but it worked since the GPE didn't have the correct option for me.

I checked that earlier and its on what its supposed to be on "LTE/GSM" . I even tried LTE only and got no signal at all.....Thats why I thought it might be the radio...because in my "About Phone" and Network Type setting it says HSPAA and HSPA+.

Sounds like it's your APN settings (assuming ST has your SIM provisioned for LTE). Create a new APN, try these settings, and report back.

I tried the settings and there was no change, even speedtests were similar. I believe my problem is the version of the One that I have. I believe it does not support LTE (band 4) ....I need to know if it is possible to flash a RUU or Baseband and get the Band 4 of LTE working on this device....I believe it would be the 801n version that I need....Thanks for your help.
no one has come up a way yet to enable any additional bands on HTC One..

Has anyone been trying or is it just not that big of a deal to everyone? I know its been done on other devices....I've read something about changing the "build-prop" I think...I believe it would be a big deal especially the LTE ( band 4 ) that seems to be the main one....I believe its only the "unlocked" versions and I also believe its that way because LTE ( band 4 ) is AT&T's main LTE band and they don't brand unlocked phones so I think its HTC's way of sticking it to them...who knows...lol
You can check the 1700MHz Tmobile thread in general. Lots of effort were done in it.

It does, I had it on my HOX+. I wish I would have kept that one....But I believe in order to have it you have to have one of their new lte sim cards.
It has to be something simple that's being overlooked. Have you called ST? If they don't have your SIM provisioned for LTE, that would stop you.

Yes, I've talked to ST. The problem is that this model does not have the LTE (band 4) radio....it has LTE (band 7).....I've been trying to find out if anyone has found a way to flash that frequency. No luck so far.
Here is a link to a thread where someone has posted a lot of radio dumps from different phone carriers for our device. I have not helped in anyway with what he has done there all credits go to him for his efforts. hopefully it helps you in some way.

Thanks...but I have that page bookmarked...lol. I tried flashing the AT&T radio and it didn't work. I've read somewhere that it has something to do with writing or re-writing of the Buildprop.....I have no idea what that is but apparently it has to do with the radio frequencies. Anyway, thanks for your response to my thread. Let me know if you hear anything...
ATT compatible ST sim would use band 7 for ATT.
TMO compatible ST sim would use Band 4.
Only a few cities in the US for ATT use band 4 LTE..
From what you state it sounds to me like you have a TMO ST sim not an ATT ST Sim.

Nope, I definitely have an AT&T compatible sim. I bought it straight from ST for my first phone, the HOX+. (At&t branded).
This is just so damn confusing. I can't understan the manufacturers, whats the problem with equipping each device to accept all the available bands...Simple...
Namely the cost. Qulcomm dings the OEM for every band they license. Then there's the cost of power amplifiers and associated hardware for each band.
I have two friends with ATT branded ones that I converted to GPE and they are running Net 10 (same as straight talk but without the walmart branding) and both have no problem with LTE. tfdata is the APN they are using.
On your sim card should be some numbers. does it start with 89014 ?
you're positive that you were getting LTE on your H0x? if it was running the stock ATT rom they show "4G" for HSPA+.
When did you last change your sim card? I know with Net10 if you had activated your sim before they started offering LTE you have to change to a new sim to get LTE. Net10 sims are dirt cheap (about 50 cents) so wouldn't hurt.
I would recommend switching from straight talk to net 10.
Same service, same company but with one core difference. ST is walmart's brand so as such they are the exclusve seller. Net10 refills can be bought on the open market, as can the sim cards.
And BTW, the One does support LTE on band 4. It's labled AWS on the spec sheet. Alaska wireless uses 2100mhz (band 4) and my One connects to their LTE no problem. The T-MO folks are whiny about not having 1700mhz HSPA+ support, which has nothing to do with LTE.

Do not confuse locked boot loaders with carrier locked devices. Congress says carrier locked phones must be unlockable at the end of a service contract, so they can be transferred for use on another compatible network. This has nothing to do with locked boot loaders. VZW G2 is not carrier locked, but the boot loader is and will remain forever locked.

This generally means either: 1) The ESN/IMEI is blacklisted or 2) The APN information is incorrect.
You can call your carrier to determine if it is blacklisted, or use this website although I don't know if it is international or just in the US

I just picked up a used verizon G2 to use on the Straight Talk service. First issue. I pulled the sim card from my old straight talk phone and put it in the G2. It instantly said unknown sim but, when i restarted the phone i had service. Problem is, i still have the unknown sim icon and cant seem to use LTE. Second issue. im stuck on 4.4.2 because it will not allow me to download any system updates. Im hoping there is a way to manually update. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you want to update hook up the phone to a windows pc and install the verizon software updater that is built into the flash memory when you plug it in. It will download and apply the Lolipop update. You should figure out what straight talk sim you have because it could be a verizon one, but most likely it's an at&t one so you'll need to edit your apn settings.
What provider is your Straight Talk SIM running off of? T-Mobile? AT&T?
The Verizon G2 only has LTE bands 4 and 13. B13 is Verizon-only, while B4 is used by multiple carriers.
If T-Moible, B4 is the primary band, but if you are in a rural area that TMO refarmed, LTE will be on B2 instead.
If AT&T, their primary LTE band is B5, but there are some select areas that have it on B4 also.
The "Unknown SIM" icon is because the Verizon ROM detects a non-Verizon SIM card. I'm sure there are ways to get rid of it via rooting, or just flash a custom ROM. If your Straight Talk is going through T-Mobile, there's a T-Mobile ROM in the dev forum that adds some TMO functionality like Wifi Calling.
I was able to upgrade to Lollipop using the verizon software and my pc so thanks for that!
The sim I am using is an AT&T straight talk sim. Do they have a sim just for verizon LTE networks?

For new lines, you can stick your phone's IMEI into ST's BYOP checker and if it checks out, you can order a Verizon LTE SIM. For existing lines, probably easier to just call up CS and ask.
I just ordered a verizon LTE sim card from straight talk. They transfered my number to a new sim once before, I'm sure they can do it again. If not, I can live with a new number to have a working phone again.

ccross13126, how did this all turn out? Are you able to use the verizon vs980 LG G2 on Straight Talk with 4g data speeds (using vzw towers)?
I am reading all kinds of conflicting stories. Some say it'll work, but 3g speeds only. BUT, it appears that MAYBE the VS980 can now use verizon 4g towers . . maybe in the last few months. Can you confirm? THANKS in advance. I have a rooted Verizon LG G2 (VS980) that I LOVE .. but i would really love to save a few $$$ and use Straight Talk. Thanks again.

I am using the Straight Talk CDMA service on a few of my phones at the moment. I usually use a Nexus 6 but I had to send it in for a problem and have a Verizon LG G2 and a Verizon HTC M8. The sim card works on both of these phones at LTE speeds. At least in my area, Verizon still seems the most reliable for me. It might not be the fastest service but I don't have issues with missed texts and dropped calls like I do with some other services I have tried.
Hope this helps.
I'm trying to use my rooted note 3 (with dynamic kat xtreme rom) on the sprint network. I have tried different combinations of apn settings and still can't get it to work. Anyone have any idea if it's even possible?
Sprint uses CDMA which the att note 3 doesn't support.
Apn settings are for data and MMS only rather than voice.

So I wouldn't be able to use it for voice either?
Voice won't work either because the phone has no ESN which is needed to register the phone on a CDMA network.

So I'm stuck with my sprint carrier phone (iphone). So I'd have to use a sprint phone? What if I buy an unlocked phone from Amazon?
Sprint and Verizon need a phone that supports CDMA as neither carrier has a GSM network.
Some Sprint and Verizon iPhones supports GSM which means they can be used with any North American carrier for voice, data, and text.
Buying an unlocked phone will not help unless it comes from Sprint.
