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.

I have an S5 that I'm about to trade for the LG G3, however, the guy is using it on ATT and claims it's originally from Verizon and is unlocked, hence, why it's working on ATT.
My question is, will this device work on TMobile? I live in Miami, FL if it matters.
I would recommend sell S5 and buy T-Mobile branded G3, or trade for one. You can do either on swappa.com.

If its Verizon branded then it should be unlocked in which case yes any GSM carrier. I'm pretty sure all new Verizon smartphones are global these days.
All LTE Verizon phones released in the last few years are gsm capable and can work on tmob and at. The S5 can also. Just need to switch to global and for data add the correct APN settings

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.
Will the unlock version work with T-mobile LTE?
HTC site doesn't mention 2100mhz while T-mobile does.

Thanks.
Yes got mine yesterday and no issues at all.
on verizon
I also want to know will Dev version work on Verizon network? Thank you for reply
I'm pretty sure the answer is no but I thought I'd just get confirmation. Does the HTC 10 from T-mobile have any CDMA bands? Like to use it on Verizon? I'm getting a T-mobile one from a special program but I'm on Verizon, if not I'm sure my girlfriend will be happy with her new HTC 10.

The T-Mobile variant will work fine on verizon if you pay for the s-off through sunshine and then follow this guide to convert it to verzion
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-10/how-to/guide-convert-unlocked-to-verizon-t3380615
You sure this will allow it to work on Verizon? Can anyone else confirm that the CDMA bands are indeed present?
Sorry if this has been discussed, couldn't find it in search. There are a couple unlocked tmo phones available locally for a bit of a discount, and I'm wondering if there are any significant issues with using one of these phones on Verizon?

I've always used a carrier model, but there's been times I've used Verizon on T-Mobile. They were primarily iPhones.

I have an network unlocked At&t Note 8 that i just configured for VZW using its APN settings and it did not work. The At&t models have the same if not more radio bands than VZW so im not sure what the problem is.
The At&t Note 8 need to have CDMA radio inside in order to work on Verizon.
New galaxy's have a universal modem but will have parts turned off. If the phone is unlocked you can flash the correct modem or the unlocked forward and it should work.
