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.
hi, Could some one explain me what does LTE unlocked sim free phone mean. Is it something like an unlocked phone? Can i use a Gsm sim in this?
Yes, you can use a GSM SIM in it. It's unlcocked.
Read it this way:
LTE, unlocked, sim free phone ...
LTE -- capable of using the fastest wireless data network, and it also supports the slower networks (like GSM)
unlocked -- it is not forces to use a particular carrier, like Rogers or AT&T
sim free -- the phone does not come with a sim card (that is for a particular carrier) and you have to purchase one to use the phone, the AT&T phones come with an AT&T sim
Hi, this question is eating at me from inside. Im trying to buy a Droid DNA , hence figured i double check with the xda community. Are all Verizon Droid DNA's factory unlocked for GSM carriers?

All HTC Droid DNAs purchased through Verizon are factory locked. You can find ones online that may be unlocked but most are locked.
But, fortunately, it's extremely trivial to unlock an HTC Droid DNA and, from what I've heard, they work just find on GSM networks like T-Mobile, etc.
Good luck!
The dna is factory unlocked if your going to run on a gsm carrier just grab that sim pop it in and switch the network mode on your phone to gsm through settings.

You also need to change the APN settings to get Internet and mms to work. I just switched to Net10 AT&T version. You can also use T-Mobile just takes a different sim. You won't get 4g lte since our phone only has that band for Verizon but your 3g will be faster.

They are bootloader locked, not carrier locked, which is what he was asking. There's more then one type of lock on these devices.
So, all DNAs are carrier unlocked for GSM use, in case it comes up again and you answer :thumbup:

People out there still give misinformation about the DNA not being unlocked. The term doesn't really apply since its a Global phone. Both GSM or LTE Sim cards work so any GSM carrier and Verizon on the CDMA side will work.
thx guys for your prompt replies! The only other time ive used a verizon phone on gsm network was the droid 2 global. Which was "unlocked" well atleast sim unlocked but had a band lock and needed the TBH band unlock ( great group btw) to unlock the bands to use american gsm networks. I just wanted to confirm that the DNA didn't have a band lock like the droid 2 global.

nopes, no band locks..i have used the DNA on AT&T and T-Mobile in USA. Airtel & Idea in India with no issues. 3g worked on all 4 carriers.
what about cdma
would the phone work if i put in a cdma ruim from anothe operator (want to use this on reliance cdma in India)?
or does the bootloader need some fixing before it can recognize the reliance ruim?
como desbloqueat el htc droid dna de verizon?
I always thought that SIM cards and CDMA were mutually exclusive, but the M9 CDMA variant (0PJA2) has a SIM card.
Does this SIM card allow me to switch to to other carriers than sprint? Or is the fact that my phone is the 0PJA2 variant locking me to use only Sprint (and maybe Verizon) CDMA?
I didn't realize this question was so advanced, I'm sorry.
I've read somewhere that the two LTE networks are compatible, but I cannot get the Verizon sim card to work on an AT&T phone.

This happens because Verizon is a cdma network, at&t is a gsm one, verizon uses lte only for data, and the at&t phone doesn't have cdma hardware
