I searched all over for the answer to this, even on Google; so, if it's been answered; many apologies, but damn it man, I tried.
I know there are several posts regarding the use of the Photon 4G on T-Mobile or AT&T... but what about Verizon?
I have a 4G LTE SIM card, currently in a Droid Charge. What if I were to put it in a Photon 4G? Would it work?

No. No LTE radio.
Oh, good point.
Thanks.

I did a search and could not find the answer..
Here's my question:
Would I be able to use the Vibrant on Sprint's Network? Would I be able to utilize Sprints 3G, HSPA, HSPA+(not sure if Sprint has this), and 4G network?
I currently have T-mobile and thinking about switching over.
Thanks
Sprint is CDMA, doesn't use a Sim Card
TMobile is GSM, does use a Sim Card
You may unlock your Vibrant and use it on AT&T but not Sprint
Thanks for the speedy response!

I own an HTC Thunderbolt, but I am forced to switch to AT&T. I am able to buy an unlock code for my phone, will I be able to unlock it and it run on AT&T? I would like it to run 3G or better. If you have any info, please let me know. THANKS!!

short answer: no
long answer: read the other posts in the thunderbolt forums for similar questions.
Side note: there are some verizon phones that are "world phones" that have sim cards in them. The droid 2 I think some of the blackberries do. I would return and get one if you can.

different type of SIM card. Thunderbolt has one for 4g only. Verizon uses CDMA for 3g and LTE for 4g, and probably some other band for voice. ATT uses GSM for 3g and HSPA+ for 4g. So they are completely NOT compatible.
ATT will be eventually going to LTE, but they could be dicks about it and choose a different frequency of LTE than verizon to prevent people from switching networks (since there's more than one to pick from), thus making it incompatible still.
Currently, all voice is CDMA on verizon still and data is CDMA as mentioned if it's 3g and LTE if it's 4g (which is what the sim card uses as it is the next incarnation of GSM). Next year they will be transitioning to voice over LTE.
Hi,
I have bough one HTC ThunderBolt Verizon in America,
I tried to insert my sim card without success, can I unlock it? or is it impossible at this moment?

this post was a fail
the sim card in the phone is meant only for the 4g. the phone is only cdma, not gsm. you can't put the card in there and assume it's going to work.
The Thunderbolt isn't a GSM phone. It uses a sim card only on Verzion for 4G purposes. I doubt it would be useful to do any unlocks on it.
I think this thread is a fail.
I'm nearly certain that as of right now, the Thunderbolt will work on no other carrier but Verizon. MetroPCS flashing isn't really possible since the phone uses some of the new technology to activate itself, the old activation code doesn't work, I believe. And the voice technology is still CDMA, so even if the Verizon bands match up to a Euro/Canada carrier in the future, you'll have to wait for LTE to carry voice, which could still be quite some time.
My sim is 3g, and my operator are gsm/umts but 3G not 4G.
I cannot to use it? If I understand well it works only with operator 4G?
Thanks a lot
Z.
There is a solution to put it on metro and cricket.
Wow, how did you even find xda?

See what I did there?
I have an atrix that is unlocked and has a T-mobile sim card. But its stuck on Edge and never been on 4g let alone even 3g. Is there a custom rom and/or kernel that can fix this issue?
The atrix isn't 4G capable (lacks the hardware) and T-mobile uses a different frequency for their 3G networks that the Atrix doesn't support.
So yeah you're stuck on edge as long as you're using T-mobile on the atrix
Seriously?

I have been considering the Atrix 4G from AT&T. it is advertised as 4G by ATT. I ready a couple reviews that said it was slow, but I assumed that might be from all the bloatware. I guess I should be looking at a different phone, if the Atrix 4G is really not 4G.
First find the specs of the device. Only devices listed as LTE are real 4G. You can find it in radio frequencies. At&t only has a few but verizon has a plenty to choose, although according to user feedback 4g devices are battery hogs, while on 4g of course.

If you want fast / reliable data speeds you best be looking at a different carrier than AT&T.

Well that sucks... I guess I'll be continuing my search. I'm new here but am loving the available information and the responsiveness of the members. Thanks again.
Long story short. Will a HTC One AT&T work on the Sprint network? Google has Sprint to AT&T, but not the other way around. I read about different bands and 4G and all that, but simple yes or no, will it work and what will work...

Sprint Phones do not use a SIM card. So any phone that uses a SIM card will not work on the Sprint network. The One uses a SIM card.
