Is anyone using the HTC one X international version on AT&T?
Did you have to go and get a microSIM at the store?
I just ordered an unlocked version and I want to make sure I can use it without any issues.
Thank you for the help.

If you are provisioned for Android's HSPA+ plans you should be able to just cut your sim card and use it in the phone without any fuss.
You can just cut your current sim into a micro sim.
You don't need to change data plans so long as you were on an iPhone or smartphone beforehand. But you can if you want.
Just got mine today and it works great. I just changed to a micro and grabbed a sim adapter to go back to full when I use my Note. Didn't have to do anything else to get it up and running. Amazing phone
You don't need to pay more than 15 bucks for data unlimited data. Non smartphone is the same speed. They don't know its a smartphone if you dont tell them.

Not always true.....some international phones don't work with medianet
At least I've read some Galaxy Nexus GSM don't work, the companies give AT&T IMEI's sometimes.
I have the international version of the One X running on AT&T in Los Angeles/ San Diego area. I am loving it. No downsides to going with the international version except you wont get LTE. The data connection is still very fast though and completely functional.
The One X micro sim is easy to make. Cut your sim with a butcher knife and a cutting board. Its harder if you dont have a friends micro sim as an example. You are going to love this phone.
I have the note too with an adapter since I came from the 4s. The one x works great with AT&T but my unlocked note gets slightly better data speeds. Like a gb more dl about the same upload compared to the x

AT&T version is going to use S4 Krait, LTE, possibly bigger battery
International One X uses Tegra 3, no LTE
No problems at all for me so far! HSPA+ is doing very well.

Right now I'm on Straight Talk, but want to switch to T-Mobiles' 4g Monthly plan. Where did you guys get the non-gba 50.01 micro sim card? I'm having no luck searching on Google. Called T-Mobile and had a dumb representative on the phone that kept insisting that I get a sim card and cut it ignoring what I actually needed. Called a lot of stores around me and they said they didn't carry it. Only found one guy on ebay selling them for $30 a piece, I'm not paying that. I would rather buy it officially from T-Mobile.
Bump.

I got my phone from buy mobile phones.net. It came unbranded with a micro sim attached to it. Might be worth giving them a ring. Although I'm not sure if it's just an English site

Your micro sim is for T-Mobile? Anyone else bought tmobile sim cards, I know there's more people.

There are other threads also discussing this.
I have a European One X, took me 30 mins of calling to find the right micro SIM. I contacted all of my local (within 5 miles of my house and office) T Mobile stores and struck out. I ended up calling a T Mobile store a few miles out and the store manager was kind enough to email his peers and called me back within 20 mins to tell me which store had it, that the store had it on hold for me and even gave me the name of the manager I should ask for.
T Mo USA customer service is no help as they cannot specify that you are in need of a non GBA micro SIM and so they will simply send you what they have (more than likely a newer micro SIM such as what is being shipped out with the One S).
You have to call around stores and ask yourself. Perhaps you will get lucky as I did and a manager will offer to check other stores and call you back. I simply told the manager I was speaking with that I just purchased an unlocked device from Europe and how excited I was to have it. The manager asked me what device and through "small talk" and a love for gadgets, he took the extra step and sent an email out and called me back (nice).
If you strike out, you will have no other choice but to purchase the SIM from Amazon or eBay.
Good luck!
Yeah that was who I called was the USA customer service. I wish it wasn't so hard to acquire this sim card, but I guess I'll try. Thanks .

Hope it works out, buddy. I too wasn't happy considering I may have to pay for SIM, let alone such a ridiculous price.
I have three regular size T-Mobile SIM cards version 50.01 if anyone needs one.
I am using one myself in my One X (S720E intl unlocked model) and it works fine.
Now, 2 left.
I have managed to find more of these if anyone needs one.

Several years ago I got a unique data plan for an off-contract Xperia X1A phone from ATT. It was the unlimited data for 'smartphones' for $15. My phone was not recognized by their system and I got unlimited 3G data.
A year or so ago, my Xperia broke down and I got an HTC Vision off-contract with ATT's 3G networks. It worked well and immediately connected to 3G.
The screen recently broke and while I've ordered a replacement, I realized it was getting a little long in the tooth so I decided to get an S3 with no contract from Amazon Wireless.
I sliced down my Sim card into micro size and it fit (yay) and the phone service works...
But no data. Not even 3G.
Halp?
Have you updated your APN's for the phone? I dont know the ATT APN's off hand but Im sure you can google them and find them right away
Here's the apn from my Att s3
You probably need to use wap.cingular

Ah - however, I only seem to be getting 3G speeds, not LTE speeds. Ah, that's a fair compromise.
I don't know if att is the same as rogers in Canada but I had to get a new lte sim card which would suck for you. I hope they never take your plan away.

Best I can tell, LTE needs a plan change. If you try to swap SIM cards, it still won't work. Worse, they'd detect you trying to connect to LTE and they may slam you to one of the new plans. Ask me how I know.
It's up to you to decide whether LTE is worth the price increase. Nice to be able to choose.
If you're feeling charitable, either XDA or Cyanogen seem appropriate.

This is correct. If you start using a LTE phone and don't have a LTE plan, you'll start getting texts and emails from AT&T asking you to contact them so they can update your plan. They'll probably give you a new micro sim, as your old cut down sim isn't LTE enabled.

Well... today they actually did upgrade me to the 3gig/$30 data plan. I called them and told them I was going to stop using this phone, return it, and go back to my non-smartphone. They put me back on the old data plan - but I'm not sure for how long.
I'm waiting on my screen replacement for the HTC Vision to arrive, in which case I'll see if they try to force the upgrade again. If they DO, I will again tell them to put it back and send back my S3 and go back to the HTC Vision.
I wonder, though, if there is some way to prevent them from knowing it is a Galaxy S3. Mybe if I bought one from Telus or Bell? My HTC Vision was not released for ATT and I got it from some Canadian company with the same network settings, I think.
Besides, if they are going to FORCE me onto the plan, I may as well take a subsidized phone.

I walked into the store with my backup - a moto F3 - and told them I lost my old sim card and needed a microsim. The rep wanted to test that it worked so I asked for some tape and taped it into place. I told him that the phone was foreign and used a rare sim size but a micro could work with tape. They bought it.
So I got home and put the new micro into the S3 and no data using the ATT APN but 3G using the Cingular. So let's see if they try to switch me back again.
REally wish I could get LTE on my current plan. Hmm.
I'm increasingly unhappy with this phone, though, and may end up returning it anyway.

Done. $20 to Cyanogen. Too bad I couldn't earmark it to S3 development but nonetheless, I have been using their stuff for a while so a donation is in order.
Hello, I have a T-Mobile galaxy s2 my friend will trade me his international one x and I'll add 70 bucks on my side, now do you guys think its a good deal or not? Also I'm currently on the T-Mobile prepaid 30$ 5GB plan. Will I need to get an older sim for it to work?? I just need text and calls to work the day I get it, then I'll just get an older sim. It should work with the newer sim I'm using on my s2 just to make text and calls right? And are any of you users on edge with tmobile and how did you do it so I can get ready on what to ask T-Mobile when I go to the store.
Thanks

I currently have a iPhone 5 from AT&T and am looking at getting a S3 off eBay. Now my question is if I put the AT&T sim in the AT&T S3 will I get LTE? Reason i'm asking is I see that AT&T has 2 separate LTE plans, one for the iPhone and one for everything else. I already have an adapter for the nano sim.

Its just because iphones have an additional APN they work with. If you're provisioned for an iPhone plan you will be good with any other smartphone(apart from blackberries)
all you have to do at this point is put your sim in that micro adapter and you're good to go.

Wrong! You have to add the imei and the correct data plan on your account or you won't be able to access data. I work for a retailer and have people constantly coming in after swapping phones and their data is not working. It don't cost anything for a rep to add the correct soc codes and imei to your account. Just stop by the closest store to you and ask them to do it. It just takes a couple mins and saves people from getting pissed at at&t thinking there is problem.

Wrong! Don't be rude to me when store reps like you call into me for tech help. IMEI on the account does not effect ANYTHING. If a customer needed me to activate a phone of theirs, had the SIM but couldn't access the imei, I would dummy it. As in, put 1111111111111119 in the system. And believe it or not... but it would work.
I've had customers switch from iPhone to Motorola RAZR, for example, no problem. IN FACT my girlfriend has a Blackberry data plan. She HAD an iPhone while using that plan. THEN she sold her iPhone and bought an HTC ONE X. Wouldn't you know, that worked too! I had tech disable the RIM feature on the account and add XIP provisioning (regular data provisioning)
Edit: disclaimer: unless in the US they have crazy provisioning on their plans to completely restrict a regular smartphone from not using an iPhone plan, then I apologize.

I'm currently on a Verizon HTC One M7 and due for am upgrade. Rather than doing the two year subsidized contract, however, I am considering buying an unlocked version of the phone on Swappa for $400 or so and then just bringing that phone to Verizon.
Is this possible? Back in the day I recall that wouldn't work because Sprint and Verizon used CDMA bands while the rest used GSM with Sim cards and the like, but I thought I remember reading that it's no longer a problem on Verizon.
So can I buy an unlocked M9 and bring it over or does it have to be a Verizon specific model to work?
Thanks in advance.

Both the M8 and M9 will work well in the Verizon network. Honestly, the M8 is every bit as good
as the M9. Both will be updated to next Android operating system - Marshmallow. I personally like the M8
power switch placed on top right for useability, but that's personal to each user. Both have great screens and custom
roms built for them. Swappa is a great place to start your hunt after you decide which one you want.
p.s. Only get a Verizon CDMA phone, don't mess with AT&T GSM. - it IS specific due to which bands are active in the phone. It can be unlocked after S-0ff with card or clip.
So then you still need a Verizon specific phone to use their network. Gotcha.

Not necessarily, but it's a massive headache to get it to work in most cases. I haven't personally done it with the m8 or m9 but I have with other phones. It's not like the nexus or motto x where you can just pop the card in and go (now that Verizon finally whitelisted the non Verizon sold versions of both). If it isn't whitelisted and you get it to work they tend to complain that you're using an unauthorized device and won't help you with network issues, etc. So TLDR get a Verizon version or a phone meant to be truly compatible with all carriers like the motto x, nexus 6, or the two new nexi released today.

You may need to go get a new sim card from a store or have vzw send you one for VoLTE to work, but I may be wrong, you may be able to pop it in and just activate the VoLTE on your MyVerizon.

If you go to a corporate store (one that doesn't say premium retailer) and take the phone and your old phone with you they will give you a new sim for it and activate it for free.

Funny, I didn't read this reply but ended up having to do that anyway because I had forgotten my billing PIN and the retailer said I'd need to go to a corporate store to reset it. Glad I did, the retailer store wanted $25 for a new SIM card.
So in case anyone else tries this, the answer is : no. The M7 card doesn't fit in the M9. But the corporate store gave me a new one and activated it for free.
That's odd...I bought an unlocked HTC One M9 and it wouldn't work on Verizon I ended up having to buy the Verizon version.
I just call the vzw 1-800 number and ask for them to send me a SIM card, they will send 1 free one without issue.
I've had 3-4 sent over the past years since nano and never been turned down. I like to have a backup laying around.

No, that's not odd. He got a Verizon phone. Unlocked does not mean it works on Verizon. Unlocked only means that a phone is not locked into a specific carrier. It does NOT mean that the phone is compatible with every carrier's network. Verizon uses a CDMA network for its phones. Other than Sprint, everybody else uses a GSM network.
I'm certainly not an expert or even a techie, but I read somewhere that all 4GLTE phones operate on the same radio, which sounds like you should be able to use a 4G phone on any network, but that apparently is not the case ... maybe because 4G isn't available everywhere and phones have to be able to fall back on their 3G network? ... I'm not sure.
Bottom line, if you have Verizon, get a Verizon phone.
One final note ... that doesn't mean you have to buy your phone from Verizon. Swappa and eBay both have Verizon phones available. You just have to watch the fine print and don't trust text that says "works with any carrier." Make sure it says it works with Verizon.
