us is cdma - no sim.

The Virgin Mobile HTC One V is CDMA, not GSM and doesn't take a sim card. You will not be able to use it on a GSM network. Sorry.

Well the topic is about the Desire and how to get it but I was not sure which forum to put it in so posted it here.
Well my Brother is moving to London for 2 years. Now he has his N95 (unlocked) which he would like to continue using as he has his paid apps installed on it and stuff.
Now he's getting a HTC Desire on contract. So If he uses the Contract Sim in his N95 and sends back the Desire to me here in India, I could unlock it and use it with any data carrier here in India right?
Yes you could unlock / debrand the Desire and use it on another network.

you will be able to use it no probs in india, you may want to check with the network you use in india and make sure that they use a compatible 3g band if that is important to you
Bhai sab fit! It will defo work. What Network is your Bro on?

He will be either on T Mobile or Vodafone
The network won't care right even if he's using his contract sim in his other unlocked phone?

Thanks a lot
Well I use vodafone here and as of yet there is no 3G so it might not make a differrnce. Any idea what 3G band is used in India though?

Oh and one more thing.
Some guy on tech enclave was saying that if you unlock your phone using the unlock code the phone will once again get locked after I update my phone software to Froyo.
Is that true? I thought this only happened in iPhones? If it's true what are my alternative means of unlocking?
Thank you everyone
Simply re use the same unlock code you originally used to unlock the phone and you'll be fine.

That would work right? Or will they not let you re use the same code?
It worked for me when my phone was re locked after debranding, its worked for others on here too.

Could you tell me what site you or others used for unlocking the phone from which you could re use the key?
Anyone know How much would it cost in customs to get a Desire from the UK to India?
I am sorry about the noob question, but I was wondering if the International One X would work with my AT&T SIM card?
Thank you,

Yes with no limitations other then that the international one had no lte but besides that it will work ok just fine on att. Not sure about t mobile USA.

Hi,
I just ordered a HTC One V from the States (says it's Virgin Prepaid phone) and i'm from South Africa.
My question is, can I unlock it and will it work on Vodacom (Vodafone) network?
And is there a name for the Stock HTC One V Rom from HTC?
Many thanks.
If its from virgin mobile in the us its a CDMA phone. And Vodafone uses GSM all over the world as far as I know so no that won't work, it will only be able to be used as an iPod touch like device.

Oh ok thanks for that information.
I have purchased a SIM unlock code for my HTC ONE V. I am with KOODO Mobile. I tested a Bell SIM card and it worked fine. But, Will my phone work over Europe? I know I have to buy a prepaid SIM card. Sorry if it's been asked a million times
R: Maybe a stupid question, but...
Teorically, yes but I'm not sure. I know that when you unlock an iPhone it works everywhere, but don't know about our phone, even though I'm 90% sure it would work
Yes it will. I use a sim unlocked One V in my own country (the Netherlands) and it worked fine with a prepaid sim when I was on holiday in the USA so I assume it works the other way around aswell. Atleast for calls and texts, don't know about data but I assume that would work aswell.

There are guys on here from the US like droidit, and they have the international tegra so I guess it must work fine. Maybe pm him.

The International HOX is fully quad-band that supports ALL the same frequencies as the OneXL (AT&T OneX) EXCEPT the LTE bands.
It will work without issue anywhere in the US.
