USA Incredible in UK/Europe?

Hi guys,
Seen reviews of the Incredible and absolutely love it.
Can anyone tell me if the North American version of the Incredible will work in the UK? I'm thinking about buying/importing one with my pay cheque next month but am scared that I may receive a phone that can't pick-up any signals here.
I'm pretty sure these are all the bands we use here in the UK.
HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
Can anyone clarify?

It is Verizon which makes it CDMA not GSM.

Ok, I get that it's going to be CDMA only but is that a software issue or hardware? Basically would I be able to convert it myself to GSM?

Check on GSMarena.com. They say it has GSM frequencies for HTC incredbile.

But Verizon does not use sim cards so there is prob not a card slot on it.

I know it's an exciting phone but to overuse a wonderful line:

Sorry.
You won't be able to use this phone for any carrier other than Verizon. With the right ROM and radio hacks you could get it to run on another CDMA carrier. You would be better off grabbing whichever version of the nexus one is available for your frequencies and hoping that someone ports the Incredible ROM over to the Nexus. This seems like it is likely to happen in short order IMHO.
Recap:
Verizon only CDMA Radio software
No GSM or HSPA support
No Sim card or sim card slot of any kind

[Q] Advise Needed about Network and Sim-Lock

Hi Xda'ers...
I might have the chance to get a T-Mobile G2 here in Guatemala. It's been said that the phone supports GSM BANDS:850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 and HSDPA 1700 / 2100 . Here in Guatemala my service Prodiver Claro works with GSM 900/1900 and UMTS-HSDPA: 1900 Will this mean that the G2 will work properly but only in 2G network not on 3G?
The phone comes locked to T-mobile and if i do the gfree method will it work with my provider?
Thanks for the help in advance!

If you're positive of those band numbers then yes, it'll work but just on the 2G.
It will work with your provider as long as you use the SIM unlock commands via gfree

Well i have put my SIM on the phone and when it tries to login into the network it says that my SIM is unable to login into the selected network.
I´ve changed the Radio, got S-OFF and root but the same result... Anyone with any good advise about what to do?
I´m trying to login into a GSM Network running on 900/1900 Band...
Thanks!
JIM

Root has nothing to do with it, you need to use the SIM unlock command, check the wiki for the info on how to do that

it is currently SIMLOCK free... I´ve tried two different SIM from two different companies...
ONe of them running on 850MHZ and the other running on 1900MHZ and both are working properly but the one i´m trying to use (900/1900) is the only one giving me troubles...
Thanks OriginalGabriel for the help could it be SIMcard Related? I´ve changed my GF´s Aria for this and if it doesn´t work she´ll kill me lol...

How old is your SIM? Here in the US my old Blackberry SIM that was 7 years old wouldn't work due to new T-Mobile standards.

Well i tried with both mine and my GF Simcards.... Same result both are no older than 7 months... Could it be because the company uses 128k simcards??

Hello Jimbo,
I also have a T-Mobile G2 here in Guatemala and is working fine with the Claro company but just using the 2G Network.
After following the steps to unlock the SIM Network using gfree ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision )
I just added the new APN to make it work with Claro, (Name: INTERNET CLARO, APN: internet.ideasclaro, Port:8080).

[Q] Verizon Model on Spain

Hello
I bought a Galaxy Nexus i515 on eBay, but I live in Spain.
In description say "CLEAN ESN"
My question is if I can use this phone to WCDMA or GSM once released.
Here in Spain we no longer have CDMA and knowing that the network is using the phone, I wanted to know if installing a radio or something could make it work.
Thank's for the answers.
Greetings.

Hi.
This first point I understand, but I can change CDMA to WCDMA?
I only need network for make calls.
WCDMA is fully functional on my country and is a solution for my problem.

no.
you said the country does not have CDMA, so therefore, YOU CANNOT USE THE I515 (VERIZON NEXUS) IN SPAIN.

Ok, I understand everything.
Thank's for your answer, but I have another and last question.
The LTE network is independent of CDMA or GSM networks. In this case and With The LTE (4G) avaliable on Spain, can be used In this mode, no?
Sorry for all my questions and thank you very much for your time.
Greetings.

YOU CANNOT USE THE PHONE IN SPAIN IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM OTHER THAN WIFI.
end of thread.

As far as I know, the i515 does not do voice over lte. Also, if I remember correctly the i515 still depends on CDMA for authentication before it can use the lte.
Also, wcdma is not anywhere near the same thing as CDMA.
As the person above me has said, the only use able network part in your phone is the Bluetooth and WiFi. Everything else is incompatible with your country's network type.

Unlocked US HTC 10 won't connect to 3G Band 900

Hi everyone. I recently purchased a HTC 10 from swappa, the unlocked version. The thing is, on gsmarena and HTC US page says that this model works on 850/900Mhz bands for UMTS (H/H+), but here in DR, i'm trying to use it with Orange Dominicana, who works on 900Mhz band for UMTS and the phone doesnt... It goes from LTE to 2G, and when on LTE i cant receive phone calls. I need to put it on 2G to receive calls, but the data sucks at those speeds.
Anyone knows a way that i can be sure if the phone really doesn't have this particular band (900Mhz) for UMTS? or a way to see if i can activate it if its available but inactive? I try 2 phones (a friend of mine bought one, same model) and is the exact same behavior on both.

See my signature about adding bands.
At least you can check if it is enabled and perhaps try to add it too

I haven't tried adding bands yet. I'm interested since Viva is rolling out 4G service in the next few months. If my HTC 10 isn't compatible with their 4G or 3G (even though they said it will be), then I'll be looking at adding more bands.

Thanks for the sugestion. I did not follow your method since CDMA Tools is no longrer available in DEMO version and licences are really expensive (100+ Dollars) to just test. I followed the method suggested by @fffft (That can be found here) since it applyes to all Qualcomm devices using QPST and QXMD.
Long story short, I had to Root, set a custom recovery, a custom ROM and even a custom Kernel to try the method but It did not work to me. The irony of all of this is that technically I my HTC 10 has all bands available to be used. See the picture Attached.
@stifilz do you have any Ideas?
