Basic unlocking question

Forgive me if I'm about to ask a stupid question. I'm getting frustrated with my Tilt and I'm on the ATT network in the US. I was looking at the touch-pro on the HTC website and was wondering how do you know if an unlocked phone will work in the US? Can I just move my sim card over? Thank you for any help you can shed on this.

[Q] Rooting and SIM unlock?

I'm very new to all this, and my phone won't come in until later this week, but I was hoping to get a few questions out of the way early!
I'm going to England and Germany later this year, and will want to unlock the SIM to use local carriers. Since the phone will not be activated with Verizon (will use PagePlus), I'll have to buy a code.
Should I root first, and then unlock the sim, or vice versa? Does it matter?
Do I understand correctly that the unlock will be permanent, no matter what ROM I flash?
What ROM would be a good first try for a noob with very little android/smartphone experience?
Thanks in advance for any input!

Doesn't matter which order as far as I know. I used the clip and confirm sim works great in Europe.

Probably a dumb and frequently asked question, but can the GSM radio be used to work with American networks?
It's only AT&T and TMobile and I have never had issues with Verizon, I'm just curious about possibility.

Thanks!
I wish someone in my area had a clip.

I-747m and I-747 question

OK my sister in law and her fiance bought gs3s yesterday from att here in Louisiana USA.
One is i-747 and one is i-747m, now I did some research and figured out the "M" is the Canadian version per say.
Now they are letting me go flash happy with them I've found ROMs and rooting etc but I've seen issues with modems and etc maybe....
But since they are for sure USA phones does it really matter on what I flash? Or do I have to make sure the "M" gets special attention?
Sorry for the longevity of this just trying to be precise for its not my personal phones lol

I'm in Canada so I have the i747m and I've flashed AT&T Roms with no problems. When I do flash AT&T Roms though my phone becomes branded as an AT&T model(i747) but other than that nothing changes. As always make a backup and happy flashing.

im also in Canada and i have the i747m. The AT&T Roms work fine.

Thank y'all, I was pretty sure it wouldn't be a big deal, but again not my personal phones so I wanted a triple reassurance

[Q] Verizon Unlocking

Hello XDA.
This question may be discussed in some other thread (and if it is please redirect me to the relevant one) but I would like a fresh opinion.
I am planning to buy a HTC One X under contract from AT&T. The unlocking part I am sure I can handle. But my main query is whether I would have to see out a certain period where I would have to use the phone on the AT&T network before I can unlock it?
And as I live outside the US, with intention of going there sometime in the future, will I be able to use the unlocked phone when I go there?
Thanks and looking forward for any and all replies.

oh and i totally meant AT&T in the title. not Verizon. my bad my bad

please help. sprint to verizon?

I have a possible great deal on a brand new HTC m8. The problem is that it's a Sprint phone. I need to know if I can make it work by unlocking it or flashing it to make it work on Verizon's network? This is my first post so sorry I know this is probably an easy question but for the price of $175.00 I had to ask thanks for the help hope I'm not breaking any rules!

its not really against the rules but its kinda frowned upon. and to answer your question it would most likely not work since the two companies use non similar LTE signals though you might be able to use it for 3g but that would be atrociously slow.. lols..
