Please read this as well I'd you have extra time http://ptcl.com.pk/related_pages.php...=298&rp_id=187 Ptcl just introduced the first the 3G phone The problem is instead of being carrier specific it is phone specific Is there any way I can change that?I have a htc inspire 4G and would love to have it or could I get it in incredible 2? Or iphone 4s which are considered world phones?
Could I please get a relevant reply?
I read the massive post about how the Rezound can now work on a GSM network with flashing/rooting. My question is can it be done without doing either of those? Did the ICS update make it possible? I am asking these questions because my girlfriend wants the Rezound but has a contract with ATT. I'm not super tech savvy when it comes to these type of things, so if its an easy fix or the ICS update fixed it then I'd happily get her the phone. From everything I've read everybody seems to be extremely happy with it, I just switched from an iPhone to a One X and cant believe I ever picked up an iPhone.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
You might have to be rooted to get 3g to work.
Why would you get a phone for $700 from a different carrier, pay for an AT&T sim card, and go through all the trouble and issues of using a CDMA phone on a GSM network when you can get a One x for a third of the price, with LTE, and without any issues?
Yeah what he said ^
Have her get an HTC one X or wait till the One X+ hits. The one x kills the Rezound, and it's a lot of trouble to get 3G working on the Rezound
Me and my Girl just jumped off the sprint bandwagon and going all GSM. I was able to get the Nexus but she wants to keep her Design she got from Sprint. The phone is a world phone so it has the proper GSM radios to work but i cant seem to Disable the CMDA radios and Enable the GSM ones. If someone could point me to a Forum or help my with this it would be very much appreciated
Hey everyone,
I do not roam in this forum, ever. As you might see I don't have an EVO LTE, as much as I would want to.
Here's the thing. I want to see if I can get a good condition EVO LTE to hold me off for 6 months to a year so I can use my Desire for testing ROMs only. It would have been easy except for 2 things: a) I am in Canada so I have to ask TELUS whether it will work on their network; b) it's a CDMA phone. TELUS has CDMA network, which may help.
So I got an email back from TELUS support pointing me to this page http://mobility.telus.com/en/BC/phones-and-devices/devicecompatibility.shtml?eVar6=link. He asked me to input an IMEI and that would see whether it is compatible with the TELUS network.
So I'm trying to find an EVO LTE IMEI, but... I'm almost afraid to ask, but can someone point me in the direction of one? Is the IMEI an extremely, extremely private thing? The kind of thing that if it falls into the wrong hands, it can wreck your phone? Because this would help me greatly, but if it's supposed to be private and secure like that, then I'm fine without.
Sorry if I sound like a noob, I've just never had to deal with the serials and IMEIs except in S-OFFing my Desire, during which you have to provide a serial number (I practically have it memorized by now).
Thanks guys.

Your IMEI is extremely sensitive information. someone who gets it can mark it lost or stolen and literally make your phone a brick. on top of that they could switch it to their account ( fake person ) and make an claim for it being lost. i sell cellphones for a living and many people try that. do not give it out unless your on the phone with legit customer service.
Plus that link has no https:// secure on it. i wouldnt trust it.
IMEI is private and you shouldnt have one less you own the device...

I think I'm finally in the market for a new phone after 3 yrs with my HTC MyTouch.
Seems like the OG is the best value for me (other options are the Nexus 4, HTC One, Galaxy S3). I doubt anyone in this forum will point me to a different phone, but if there's a good argument for the others (or others that I don't know about), I'd certainly listen. The OG seems cheaper/better specs than the S3, and the HTC has no SD card. N4 is a consideration, and for me it seems that capacitative buttons are the only downside v. the OG.
Anyway, here are my questions:
1. Can I use the AT&T version on a T-mobile or simple mobile plan? It looks like I should be able to get 4g no problem...
1a. The "unlocking" methods in the forums--are they for complete unlocking? That is, can I buy a locked AT&T phone and unlock it myself?

Hmm, so there's no way to unlock it myself? Can I pay one of the online services?

Specs dont mean everything. I had an HTC Evo 3D, there are things the 3D does better than OG, at least in my case.
you can use
i have used ATT, Simple mobile, AND H20
ATT= obviously works best! lte almost everywhere...and hspa+ isnt bad when im not in 4g zone..
simple mobile -> runs from what i found on 2g and LTE and SOMETIMES3g.. (rarely)
H20= uses ATT towers so 3g all the way!

Ended up going with an AT&T Galaxy S3 (many more available on ebay), awaiting arrival. Very confusing, since the earlier T-mo s3's don't support LTE, and the AT&Ts should support LTE on T-mo's network but not their hspa (I think). The newer T-mo S3's were >$100 more than the other 2 versions.
Oh, and it doesn't look like freemyblackberry.com is offering free codes anymore.
