Is the verizon sim card in the dna phone a typical sim card or is it special in some way-I have not fooled with it at all. Would it work in other phones that use sim cards...like my old HTC Inspire 4G (rooted) or at least another verizon phone? I know I could swap sims in and out of ATT phones before I switched carriers.
The only special thing about the SIM is that its a Micro-SIM, rather than a Mini-SIM; meaning its smaller. You can buy adapters that allow you to put the Micro Sim back into a Mini SIM device. I do such with my GNex and XOOM tablet.
Well every carrier have their own sim cards for free

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?
So I pre ordered the ATT version of the Gnote. My current phone is the iPhone 3G. Yes 3G not even 3GS. I heard LTE phones require a sim card specifically for LTE phones. So my question is do I need a new sim card to use LTE on the Gnote or can I use my current sim card (from the iPhone 3G) and still receive LTE speed? I'm looking at my order and I see 3 things "Freight", "Samsung i717" and "Various Sim".
Thanks.

Just make sure it's blue and orange, those are our most current ones. Yours is probably blue and white. You can go into any AT&T store and just ask for one. They're free and compatible with your iPhone until your note comes in.
SIM cards don't affect data speeds, but with LTE you should have the newer one

Thanks MM! I'm gonna guess that "Various Sim" in my order is probably the sim card I will need. If not I'll stop by an ATT store as you mentioned.

In your order will be the newest SIM card (orange / blue) but you would have activate it. It may be more convenient to just get one before it comes in.
My girlfriend bought a T-mobile HTC radar off craigslist and It wouldn't read a T-mobile sim card. Which I though was weird. So I bought a unlocked code and unlocked it with my AT&T sim card. The phone will work with the AT&T sim card but not with a t-mobile sim card. I've try a contract and pre-paid T-mobile sim and nothing. I went to T-mobile and got a brand new sim card and still nothing. Like I said if I put my AT&T sim in the phone it work fine. Can some one please help me to get this phone to read a t-mobile sim. I though once you unlocked it you could use any carrier that use a sim card.
you'll have to call t-mobile to activate it with the sim card

I don't think so. I regularly bounce between T-Mobile and AT&T with all my unlocked phones. The only limiting factor is the radio and the data bands that it receives. And, of course the Radar was made for T-Mo. Mine has always been great there.
Now, there are two versions of the phone. The US version is simply called the Radar and can use either T-Mobile or AT&T's networks. The international version is model C110E and called either the Radar or the Omega. It will work on AT&T, but it does not have the T-Mobile bands. It is made for data networks in Europe and it additional bands for Asia. The antenna configuration is different in the two phones.
Does your Radar say "T-Mobile" in the top right corner? Is it possible that you have the C110E?
I got a unlocked code and it works on my at&t sim card but not a T-Mobile one. I've try contact and prepaid sim cards. Nothing! I got a new sim card and nothing! It a T-Mobile HTC radar. It should work on T-Mobile but it don't. A Friend of mine said T-Mobile has lock the phone from there end. I got the unlocked code and it works with at&t sim but not T-Mobile. I don't like the windows one. I've unlocked 3 mytouch, 4 SGII and a galaxy note. This has been a pain in the ass from day one. If u think of a idea let me know it won't hurt.

Maybe the IMEI has been blocked by Tmo? Call and find out.
Will the Verizon GS3 have a removable sim card?
The Sprint SG3 has the sim embedded in the phone (white on left)
If I cant change the sim card this may be a deal breaker for me.
Anyone?
Um does it matter?? VZW usually only use the sim card slot for the 4G LTE sim
If your asking will the GS3 be international on verzion than I don't know

Yes it will be international by the summer with an update. So I think that the one sim card will work all the radios (LTE, CDMA & GSM)
I have a T-Mobile Galaxy S5 and my Wife has a AT&T iPhone 5S. Both of our phones have been factory unlocked (in preparation to sell). I was going to simply swap the sim cards but realized that the size of the sim cards in each phone is a different size. What options do I have? The iPhone has already been ported to a upgraded phone and mine will be ported to Verizon on Weds.
IPhone is using nano sim card. Galaxy S5 is using micro Sim card. You can cut it down to nano manually or buy one of cutter on line. I assume that you want to use your wife iPhone.

Actually, no. I just want them both unlocked for when I am them. The unlock instructions say to insert a different carriers sim to complete the process.
