Can the htc one be used on straight talk? Im seeing they have much lower prices and am thinking about looking into it. Does anyone do it? What are the advantages or disadvantages?
It'd be best to grab a T-Mobile, at&t, or unlocked one tbh. Verizon would be much more of a pain in the butt to get working with straight talk.

Why is that? From what I have read straight talk uses Verizon networks.

If you go to the straighttalk site they have a compatibility checker. http://www.byopfinder.com/byopfinder/straighttalk/index.html?fullscreen=true You just put in the phones esn and your zip code. When i put mine in it said it was compatible on either the at&t or t-mobile networks (gsm).

Straighttalk is great untill it gets twords the end of the month. Then it seems like they do some major data throttling. If your not to concerned with data speed, its a great deal. Call wise its excelent, at least in my area. I have an LG Optimus Showtime thru straighttalk from my job, but it is cdma and uses verizons towers.

Thanks I will read up on it. I would love to switch to T-Mobile or some other carrier,problem is I live in a very rural area and Verizon is the only option that has decent coverage out here.

hey guys after years with sprint im giving up my evo3d with unlimited that, which unlimited doesnt matter since i can never use it,lol. anyway, i travel alot for work and cant find any voice roam with this phone, so does it roam off att? thanks
yes sir it does.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
I, like you, came from Sprint and had the same question. T-mobile doesn't have voice roaming agreements like Sprint does with Verizon. Att can only be used in designated roaming areas. This leaves huge holes with zero coverage, even though att has service there.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
That sucks to find out, i travel working. Is the roam function automatic or does it need to be enabled? I cant find any setting for it other then roam data.
There are other carriers T-Mobile has roaming agreements with, US Cellular among others. I've almost always had service wherever I go (besides mid-state Wyoming). Recently, I've even started getting EDGE/3G on otherwise desolate drives in areas where before I had voice service if I was lucky.
Are you prepaid or postpaid?
I want to know too

US Cellular? They are CDMA. I'm post paid. Check Cross Junction, Virginia on the TMob map. It has perfect ATT service, but I can't make a voice call anywhere on US 522 from Winchester to Berkeley Springs. I'm sure others have examples too...

I recently made a trip from WA to IL and there was zero tmo coverage for the most part. There was att though! Roaming of course... But it was edge most of the way.

Lastweek when I got my Siii - I called Sprint customer service line and just ask if they would send me an Airave. I did not threaten to cancel or anything as described here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1189192.
The rep checked availability and shipped
In checking the the tracking number looks like it's sitting on my porch.
The rep said no charge, no changes to my service plan, no lease or anything. If I cancel my service I must send the device back. But while a customer I can use it free of charge.
:good:
I didn't even call they are giving them away like hotcakes now. I just used the sprint chat on their website.

Don't think Verizon needs to. They have awesome coverage (well in my area) unlike ****ty sprint. Can't even get 3g outside of my house I have to use the stupid air rave. Sorry for my language just blowing off some steam I have with sprint lol.

Lol. At home I have to rely on my Airave. It's that bad. Verizon and ATT phones work flawlessly.
I'm thinking of switching to Verizon or at&t. I've grown tired of this terrible coverage I have in my area.

I have 2 Airrave's on my account. 1 was free from Sprint. The other I bought off Ebay for like $60. Both are life savers. Wish Sprint would get it together already...
The number listed in the OP you reference is no longer in service. LOL!
New number is 1 866-866-7509
Bugging up my phone, so you don't have to!

you can't deactivate it unless he does it though his sprint account.
if you don't want to use the radio, then i suggest airplane mode, as you would disable it, as well as have wonderful battery life.
If you have all the correct info, you can port the number out.

It's you walked in a Sprint store and said this I'd ponder if you stole the phone. Not saying you did but it's one possible way Sprint would look at it.

I've never loved a device so much. I think...I think i'm in love. From the gorgeous screen, to the amazing NFC...to the fact that google just randomly gave me 10$...to the ease of use of the toolkit in the dev section, the simplicity of rooting...the BUTTER smooth interface...its just...its just...ITS JUST TOO MUCH!
cool story bro.

You need a pic with that comment.
did you have to add a prepaid card to get the $10 or just activating activating google wallet?
Yeah, I loved it when google gave me $10 free for google wallet. I got like 6 sodas from a paypass enabled vending machine after that lol.

i mean, i guess my point is...Out of all the android phones i've upgraded to, this one seems the farthest in terms of difference from one to the next. Its just so much better in so many little ways.

I'm coming from the Evo 3d. The S2 came out a little while after the 3d did so i was already stuck. I wasn't disappointed because i loved my 3vo. It was a great phone. Dual core and all. The screen on this new phone is just insane though. Watching 1080p movies and the way the colors just pop is unlike any mobile screen i've seen. I love the NFC too and how you can link nfc stickers to tasker profiles. i know you could do this with the s2 as well but its new to me. Theres just a bunch of little things ya know?
so a week a go i flash the galaxy s3 from sprint im impress 3g FOR THE FIRST TIME im getting 2.5 to 1.5 download first the first time i can see youtube videos without buffering;;p so far i flash 20 PHONES already every one loves IT for $$$50$$$ UNLIMITED EVERYTHING IS A MUST DONE DEAL
