I believe the new verizon phones must be global so yes it should work.. my dna is global and that was a verizon exclusive so I do not see why the one would not be.

Cool gonna pick up one tomorrow return s4,horrible reception bye bye Sammy hello htc!!! Don't let me down!
Don't they use different bands? And one is GSM one is CDMA?
Um... what? Why bother getting the Verizon variant of the One if you're going to be using it on AT&T's network? Yes, it'll work because all of Verizon's new smartphones are unlocked and support GSM, but... why?
Just buy the AT&T variant. Same thing, plus you'll have working FM radio and LTE support on AT&T and T-Mobile if you want it in the future.

TMK, it should work. If memory serves, the Verizon HTC One is just a standard global HTC One with Verizon's customizations. Now, having said that, Verizon has been known to disable\completely remove\block the GSM functionality of global phones in the past when they release a version for their network(Droid Bionic, Droid RAZR, ect..) so it's entirely possible that, while the phone is physically capable of operating outside Verizon's network, that Verizon has blocked it from doing so.

I don't think they are allowed to do this anymore. My dna is a fully global phone and works with a sim out of the box

You are correct. Verizon is required to have all global-capable phones unlocked out of the box. This is why the Verizon iPhone 5 was such a magnet for fraud.
I have a Verizon HTC One M8 and I have AT&T. I can get it to pick up service but for the life of me it will not pick up HSPA+ or 3G. So far I have only been able to get it running on Edge which obviously is unacceptable. Verizon phones can be such a pain in the ass. Anyone have any suggestions?

Buy an att phone? I hear that will help with picking up att cell bands.

Don't know why people buy Verizon phones for use on att. Are they that much cheaper?

I didn't buy the phone to use on AT&T. It just so happened it fell into my lap and I wanted to play around with it for a bit but unfortunately I can't get it to pick up 3G. But thanks for your witty responses guys. Much appreciated. What happened to people who actually came on this site to offer valuable input?

In all fairness you are asking about the HTC one m8 and this is a thread for the m7 so if you wanna try and get a real response you might want to check out the Verizon m8 forums not the m7. This subject has been been brought up before for the m7 and its not possible. The m8 on the other hand once again is a different phone. I know they have had success getting lte and all that working for our phone to T-Mobile.

It wasn't a witty response. Was a real actual question. I see so many threads of people buying Verizon phones and try to make them fully work on gsm networks. Just because it says global phone doesn't mean every part of the phone will work on gsm networks. So that's why I asked is the Verizon version cheaper than its gsm counterparts.

Yes, it works fine with HSPA+. For LTE, it could connect with LTE, but my situation is I can't make phone calls and text messages under LTE. Hope this would help.
The Verizon HTC One will work on any network, I can't speak for bands/speeds.
I'm in New Zealand, I brought my VZW One with me, works like a charm on all of their GSM networks here.
Hey Guys, I'm interested in buying a HTC M8 Harman Kardon Edition, but I noticed the phone is only available from Sprint..
If I were to buy the phone without a plan, would I be able to use it normally on another GSM network??
Thanks in advance!!
I am pretty sure sprint phones will not work on gsm networks because they are cdma-based.

Not really... Sprint HTC One M8 does have gsm bands and can be used on international gsm network. But GSM part of the phone requires to be unlocked either by Sprint or by the user using some tutorials on xda :good:

Might as well get an att or tmobile variant and root/s-off and flash the HK mod.

The way I understand it is that the gsm bands in a sprint phone are only used for lte data. Voice/talk is still cdma.

That's what I would do.
@vedesh45
Don't know what bands/frequencies are used in your neck of the woods but, instead of the att or tmobile version, I would opt for the developer or unlocked edition(basically the same as the att version but without the carrier bloatware and both have support for more bands than the tmobile version) and then add the HK mod. Not sure how well that works because I have not tried it myself as I am pretty happy with boomsound.
I live in Trinidad.. The 3G data uses the 1900Mhz band..
There really isn't anything fancy or special with the network..
I was considering purchasing a regular HTC M8, but I think the speakers on the HK model are different, so I'm not sure if the mod will damage the original speakers..
Do you guys think it will work if I buy it and unlock the network??
Sorry for the noob questions, I'm kinda stubborn when it comes to something involving audio quality.. Cons of being a Sound Engineer..:silly:

IMO it's harder for a beginner to unlock a Sprint HTC One M8 for GSM network than convert a regular HTC One M8 to H/K edition.
And I don't think the speakers are different, if they were I bet Sprint and HTC would advertise it

GSM bands can be used for 2G and 3G. One of my friend bought a Sprint HTC One M8 on ebay for cheap to use it in France and he gets voice and data (but no 4G)

I really don't mind the Sim Unlocking, but will it work with my network after??
Okay, so I'm going to buy an m8, but I'm on At&t but they are selling verizon. It's a really good deal so i wanna buy it. How much does unlocking a phone cost and where is a a safe place to do it?

Bad idea buying a Verizon phone to use on AT&T. The two carrier use totally different technology for both phone service and Data
At&t is GSM and Verizon is CDMA so it won't work

The Verizon variant actually supports GSM and CDMA bands. Its also not SIM locked (the only US variant I know of, that is not SIM locked). So it will work on AT&T on GSM and HSPA (it has the required 850 and 1900 MHz ands), but only some of the bands required for LTE on AT&T. So depending on what band AT&T is using in the OP's area, they may or may not get LTE.
I agree, if the OP wants a phone that works out-of-the-box on AT&T, then its best to get the AT&T variant or alternately, the US Dev Edition, US unlocked, or US GPE. All of these are intended to be used on AT&T.
And OP is better of getting just about any GSM variant over the CDMA variants (Sprint or Verizon) due to possible hardware differences. Any GSM M8 should be able to be converted to AT&T bands, although s-off is required. Just getting the AT&T version is safest/easiest.
@redpoint73
Thank you again sir.
I'm sure the OP will appreciate as much as I do the detailed information you've posted.
Excuse my noobness but I have tried to search for this answer without success. There are various how to's on how to convert a Verizon htc one m8 to t mobile but none on how to convert a t-mobile HTC one m8 to be used on Verizon. I have the unlock code and that part worked but it would not connect at all. What can I do here? Willing to flash or do anything at this point.
Yes I had to cut the Sim card in order to make it fit.
It wont work. TMO is a GSM / LTE device and Verizon is CDMA / LTE. At best you might get some data but thats it.
Buy a Verizon one if thats what your wanting.
I'm am looking to pick up an unlocked HTC 10 to work on the at&t network. I know if I get an unlocked Sprint version I will be missing some bands that at&t runs on. Is this the same with an unlocked Verizon version? What about an unlocked T-Mobile variant? I have been searching for a few days but haven't found anything info on unlocked verizon and T-Mobile versions. Only the Sprint version.
Thanks in advance.

The Sprint version's bands can be unlocked to run on Sprint. See this thread.
That said, I'd much rather do the T-Mobile version, it's easier to flash it to be fully unlocked. I also don't like that the VZ version has branding on it.

Just get a US unlocked htc 10. I did the same and I'm having no issues on at&t. I've had the phone since August. I paid about 350 for the phone. I was lucky and was able to get a phone that a was already s-offed and bootloader unlocked. Look on swappa screw amazon and ebay, they can't be trusted.

To use the Verizon variant on AT&T or other gsm networks with all bands available you'd have to s-off and convert to unlocked variant.
