Hey guys I'm seriously considering purchasing it but I live in India but that can be taken care of as the US mail forwarding service I use also has a BuyForMe sub-service where they buy the product for me... but in this case since at&t requires a SSN for the compulsory cancel-anytime data plan with the no-contract offering of this tablet, I'm having a tough time getting my hands on this awesome-elegant HTC
tab. So my questions are-
1) Will the developer community at any point in time work on getting it SIM unlocked? Or is it better to wait for a version that will not be bound to AT&T?
2) If any of my dear fellow members will be so kind so as help me somehow (read: above) with getting my hands on this beauty? Can you use a friends' SSN to buy a thing for yourself?

Will be very thankful, if someone will advise on how to perform this kind of buy. In Russia - this device will cost at least 2000$ and will be only in 4-6 months. Unofficially.
The service at www.myusabox.com provides you with a US address to where you can send your shipments. Unfortunately since at&t requires a Social Security Number that only US residents have, they won't be able to buy it for me... which is another of their service where they will buy the product for you.. with a 10% commission of the product's cost...
I recently just visited a site that had the UNLOCKED jetstream for preorder... Just google it... You probably will be able to get the tablet from there.

So, I'm moving to a Sprint dead zone and thinking about switching to att. The price will be close to the same, but with only 4gb of data which doesn't mean much because I get crap for 3g and will never see 4g. Anyone have any luck getting out of contract for crappy service? I would probably get the sgs3, because the one x doesn't have an sd card slot, unless there is something better coming soon to att.
I know I could get an airrave, but that would still leave my phone useless out in the yard and probably in parts of my house as well and since I'm always on my phone I don't want to deal with crap service at my house. Any tips, suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hey, just go talk time them and tell them that u are moved ng to a dead zone and you will switch to at&t if they don't help u. Ask for an Airwave for your house. It is like a mini tower.
In a lot of cases they offer it as an incentive to stay, complained for my cousin since she hates dealing with sprint and got one free of charge awhile back

What's the range on an airrave, because I have six acres and want to use my phone in the yard if necessary?

If I remember correctly it's 4000-5000 sqft correct me if I'm wrong
5000 sounds about right. Which is only about 30-50 feet away. With mine i lose service just after walking out the front door. If you need it for 6 acres, Sprint won't work for you.

That's what I was afraid of. Now its time to see if sprint will let me go without ETFs. Anyone with suggestions on how to approach them with this request? I just wish the One X had expandable memory then my phone choice would be easy.

Hi Ted,
Thank you for your email; Sprint appreciates your patronage and understands your concerns. Because yours is a densely populated area, Sprint is in the midst of a national revitalization, expansion, and enhancement of existing services to increase your area capacity, which will implement Sprint’s Network Vision. In and around your area, any coverage challenges would be the result of construction, and engineering calibration. As with any construction project material, man-power, government regulation, community involvement, environmental concerns, and even the weather can affect completion times. This project is being completed as fast and safe as possible. The below links provide information on the enhancements Sprint is making.

What I've read is by force roaming and eating up gigs worth of data will make them want to drop you. That or wait for a change in the contract that might have an "adverse affect" like a price increase. I'm looking for loopholes myself.. Best of luck to you!
On a side note if you do get out of your contract and head to AT&T, they've announced the HTC One X+ which is an upgrade over the One X. I'd look into that before settling on the SGSIII
I berated a Sprint rep just yes and now they've flipped the switch on 4g in my area. I'm not going anywhere lol. Not like my rant had anything to do with it, it was perfect timing
Hi there, does anyone know if it's possible to unlock this phone yet? Since the phone is so new, I have absolutely no idea if these codes being sold through eBay will work.
Thanks

They prob will. Just make sure you pay via paypal. Then if anything goes wrong, you have some comeback.

I bought mine through O2 and oddly enough, it was unlocked so I didn't have to get a code. Before I realised it was unlocked though I did try 2 sites for a code, neither had it.
My current HTC Sensation was purchased first day it was released and I had to wait 2 weeks for the codes to become available. I would guess this would be similar.
HTC Sensation w/CMX JB 4.1.2
I do unlock phones for a price. I can run a check with your IMEI number and tell you if it can be unlocked or not and how much it'll cost. Shoot me a PM if you want me to check your IMEI number. I'm a dev and not some shady guy lol
I did try to buy one off eBay but the guy said the phone is on no system at the minute and refunded me. I'm just using a giffgaff sim now which suits me as I was considering paying off my contract early anyway. I'll probably try again in a month.

So now that we have seen the One become available on the other two carriers, let's post any updates on the HTC One from T-Mobile USA, as far as when and what versions become available for order, etc., as well as observations, suggestions, questions about T-Mobile specific HTC One specs, etc.
I for one would like to keep my eye on a few things to start with, so I'll kick it off:
Will T-Mobile/HTC ever actually make a One available in 64GB? (very wishful thinking).
How well does the HTC One perform with the radios that have been enabled specifically for T-Mobile's upgrading network?
If you see proof positive of T-Mobile taking orders, post it!
Thoughts on initial build quality and possible coming improvements to hold out for before ordering? (since we are the last to order these, might as well look at the bright side and hope to avoid initial build issues by not hastily ordering

I believe the HTC One 64 GB is a timed at&t exclusive. T-mobile as of now will only have the One in silver. Hopefully black will come soon for those who what it. Maybe since the iPhone launch is behind them they can announce a launch date for the One now.

aw man i was hoping to grab the black one on launch
I think the bigger question is when exactly is this phone going to come out?
Sure I've saw online that it's the 19th! But then I've called around to tmobile stores and Called customer care and they don't have a clue :banghead:
Even worse some say it may be lunched with the Samsung galaxy s4 on May 1st
Anyways, does anyone have a date when pre-orders will ship with bestbuy or letstalk?

That guy in Edmond,Ok does not know what he's talking about. If it is launched late it will be no more than a week after everyone else. Plus do you really want to go to At&t higher prices?
My local T-Mobile manager today told me while purchasing an iPhone for a family member that he is adamant it will be released by the end of the month, no later. Regardless as of now I have a developer edition preordered

Is it really confirmed that Tmo isn't getting the black one? I keep hearing that but haven't read it anywhere officially. What a bummer if it is

No carrier has the black one as HTC doesn't have them for US initially. They are small potatoes they can't handle both colors launching at once. I hope tmobile releases end of month but I think they are pushing iPhone. I am sure in order to get iPhone from apple they committed to heavily advertising and pushing that phone at least for a while.
TMO Radio
I am wondering whether I can just order the developer one, and then just flash the TMO radio on it once that launches. There should be nothing really different between the devices. Does anybody know if I could do that?
I went to speak to a Tmo rep and he said this, The HTC One is delayed and we probably wont see it until May. Makes me very sad! I was really looking forward to it being available for the 19th! I too want the htc one in black but all i've seen is silver and the only black i've seen with hopes of being released is sprint. If you go to their homepage you will see Black coming soon! I'm not sure what to do if the Galaxy is launched before the one for tmo.. decisions, decisions.. lol
I don't really wanna pay high att prices but sometimes money don't matter when you want the ONE and u want it on the 19th..I would of gone with.the unlocked but they have done with the reframing in OK.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda app-developers app
I am trying to think why would T-mobile not make an announcement about the one. I mean can they not handle launching another phone alongside the iphone? I don't understand. The longer they wait the more people will go to S4 initially and then if it takes longer maybe something from Google at the I/O no? I guess Tmobile doesn't care if you buy the s4 or something else as long as you are with them. More phones more customers no?
The T-Mobile phones are already made and just waiting for T-Mobile go ahead.

What does tmobile care? This weekend proved that iphones make them boat loads of money. As well as the galaxy line. Those are important. I'm hotly awaiting the one but I don't remember an HTC device that wasn't overshadowed by Samsung.

I usually trade my phone on Craigslist, but lately I've been wary of phones purchased on value plans as they can be blacklisted if the original owner defaults on payments. So with this new uncarrier thing is it the same principle? As in if I trade for an HTC One can it be blacklisted if payments are not made? Thanks for any replies!
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app
Yes it will be blacklisted. Your best bet is to meet at T-Mobile with someone to verify that the device is fully paid for and not stolen
That's what I was thinking, thanks for the reply!

Government is fed up ,it's a huge loss .

Ummm...AT&T & T-Mobile have been sharing blacklists since the end of last year, so any GSM carrier that is tied to them is also blocking those IMEIs.
www.checkesnfree.com has a GSM Blacklist database. input the IMEI and it will tell you if its been blacklisted

You are better off selling it over on Swappa for cash or a trade.
Just to give us some insight and maybe help those of us considering the Z2, why do you want to get rid of your M8?

To get the most $ from your M8, unlock it and list it on Amazon or eBay. If you list it on eBay, make sure to ship worldwide. For some reason foreigners are willing to pay good money for unlocked GSM phones. This is what I do with all my old phones.
