When I bought my HOX, the lady at the AT&T store gave me a new, smaller sim for my One X. Since I got stuck on 2.20 and can't unlock/root/flash anything on my One X, I miss CM10 and thought I'd take the GNex for a spin today. Well, that won't be happening since the sim cards aren't the same size. Is there a way that I can still use my GNex with AT&T? Maybe there's an adaptor or something I can use?

Yes. You'll need an adapter from micro-sim to mini-sim. Example: http://microsim-shop.com/
Or you can line up the contacts , it will work, but not recommended.

i just bought a desire locally. i called the woman to ask about it, she said it had a sim card slot and it does work with AT&T. i was excited because i have always wanted one, last time i tried trading for one the canadian post sent my phone back :/ anyway, the phone was dead, i charged it up and what do i see? the Alltel boot screen...i figured i cant use it but id like to play around with it, root it etc. my question is, when rooted, what would this specific model be worth? if i can make back my $100 ill be happy, thats really all i want...

Why can't you use it? What's Alltel?

Alltel is a CDMA carrier. They were merged with Verizon within the last few years. Because it isnt a world phone it doesnt have a SIM slot, so in turn, its pretty useless to me.
Wouldn't it be easier to just pull the battery to see if there's a SIM card slot instead of all this stuff about carriers? You have the phone physically there in front of you, don't you?
Regarding what it's worth, I couldn't begin to tell you for a CDMA phone. Where I am in Europe, I've seen secondhand GSM Desires for sale from 50 to 500 euros.
The phone is in front of me, I have pulled the battery. It does indeed have no sim slot, if it did I probably would have already used it. All this stuff about carriers is exactly why I cannot use it, Im just simply trying to figure out whether or not I will be able to get my money for it considering I rarely see the CDMA model.
You should be able to make back the $100. Have a look on Ebay.
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.

Hey guys.
I have a galaxy s2, and thinking of picking up a htc one x, purely for its awesomeness.
But i have my sim card in the s2, and im with o2, so i was wondering if the sim card will fit in the HTC One X. As i heard it has a micro sim? Has anybody with O2 had any experience with this?
Thanks
Adam
You'll need to covert it to a micro sim or phone 02 to get a replacement micro sim.
If you are a bit worried about cutting the sim, buy a sim cutter from eBay for a couple of quid.
alrite. i understand the procdure for transferring to a micro sim is pretty simple right?

It will mate, you can also get a cheap cutter from the bay. Good to see more S2 users here making the jump.

alrite cheers mate i will also pick up a microsim just in case. and i know. it felt like a change and tw on the s3 was a no go

Sim cut will work unless you have incompatible SIM A SIM that has really big contacts which look more like a globe than square. That's what I had from O2 in Ireland and it didn't work in One X.
So I went to O2 store, asked for replacement and got it after 1 minute of waiting, free of charge, already activated. They did not ask for old SIM, they simply deactivated it. Can't be any easier really
Didn't bother with a SIM cutter, just cut it myself using a template, a pair of scissors and a nail file! My O2 sim worked in my Vodafone handset (eventually!)
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.

Yeah sorry, it's a T-Mobile sim

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 .

Or you can get a regular miniSim and cut it down.

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.

My girlfriend upgraded from HTC Desire to HTC One XL and she's never liked it.
Almost straight after she got it she accidentally dropped it from the car to the kerb and the screen cracked, but she carried on using it anyway.
It has a problem with the SIM card is not detected at least once a day and she has to reboot the phone to get it to detect it. This seems to be a design fault because lots of people are having it.
Ideally I want to sell the phone and get her a Samsung Galaxy SIII mini. I can get the screen fixed because the phone is insured, but then HTC might not accept the phone back because of the warranty being void. Or I can send the phone back to HTC but they might claim that dropping it has broken the SIM reader.
Well for starters, you could post this in the right device forum. One X and One XL...HUGE difference bro

There is no forum for XL, unless I'm blind. I thought the XL was just the branding they used in the UK.
In markets outside of North America where the LTE version is sold alongside the international GSM version, the One X LTE is branded as the HTC One XL.

The X is the branding they used in the US, any X with LTE is XL, correct forum is the AT&T HTC One X forum.

if the phone was insured, you shouldn't be worried about screen. if you unlocked bootloader you only voiding your warranty
actually it depends what your insurance policy is. hope you'll get it fixed for free
