Can I put the sim from my tmobile htc glacier in n e android carrier phone as long as its rooted? Like the Thunderbolt for example
HTC Glacier, cm7/Ice Glacier, 1.6ghz, 16gsd, 2300 Quadrant, Rooted Splash, Nexus 1 boot
I didn't think Verizon used sim cards, could be wrong, but they use a different network so I doubt it's possible. Should be possible with something like the atrix though.
Cant put it in the tbolt. It has a sim for 4g lte only. It is still a CDMA phone.

Basically just T-Mobile and att phones but data probpy will be slow

Not necesarily android, and also it must be unlocked, not just rooted (assuming it IS an android)
Yes, verizon sim cards are only for LTE data, and if you put it in ATT you will only get EDGE because of different 3g bands. Just clarifying all the I thinks and maybes.

Guys I have a question. Is there a way that a rooted EVO running on metropcs can be enabled to use metropcs 4G network????? Any suggestions.
Put simply no.the reason for that is the evo isnt retrofitted with lte and has wimax instead
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Nope. The EVO/Sprint uses 2.6GHz WiMAX, and MetroPCS uses 1.7GHz LTE. It's like comparing WiFi to your TV's infrared remote; sure, they're both in the electromagnetic spectrum, but they're WAY apart. Nevermind that they use different technology.
Thank You guys!!!!!!
So I noticed that the Evo 4G is a CDMA device.
I am in the UK and all of our carriers are GSM.
I was wondering if anyone had managed to get around this (if possible) and what did you do, because I would really REALLY like to get one.
Thanks =)

You're out of luck, because The Evo 4G is CDMA only [no sim card for GSM]. The new Evo Design, slightly smaller than the 4G, is supposed to be a world phone, so you could look up the HTC Evo Design, as it'll be your best option.
I was told that you get unlimited data on this plan.Does anyone know if this is correct.

Not for smartphones. Requires an over price data plan. I think its like $25 bux for one gig.

It was an old trick that they now are cracking down on.

Straighttalksim.com has a $45 plan "unlimited" everything runs on at&t or tmobile network (you can chose) It works on any phone that has the right bands. I am running a i9100 on it now and have been for awhile

Ditto. They can cut you off if you go over a certain amount (most people say around 2-3GB a month), but so far I've used around that amount and been good. I know some people who have gone way over (5GB) and been fine too. If you use them, don't fill in the proxy fields in the APN, just the MMS proxy stuff. If you stream constantly, this service is not for you. However for anything else it's great. And you get real AT&T speeds (I've personally gotten up to 5 Mbps in some areas).

Yup ive used 2gb and been fine, and have also heard of people going over 5gb and been fine. But id say 2gb would be the safe zone, which is probably plenty for most. Just use wifi whenever you can
my sim will be coming soon and since im gonna be using a pre 2 i dont think data limits are anything to worry about. i just want stable reliable signal where I can text and get calls reliably from a certain area sprint doesnt cut it but ATT does. my question is i am a part time promotor for clubs so i send out a crap load of texts (on sprint i saw my amount and it was around 22000 lol)
if i decide to make this my main phone i will be consuming that much.....phone calls arent an issue i mainly talk only to my gf for long periods of time at night lol
will i be kicked off for this usage?
Hey if I only wanted 5-10 of data a month with no minutes or texts is that possible?and if it is how much would I be looking at for just 5 Gb of 4G data a month.I have a unlocked HTC sensation 4G a t-mobile smartphone.so do I order a sim card from straight talk?how much is a sim card?can I call and order a sim card and activate the sim for just monthly data?I would appreciate it if someone would please explain my qwestions. Thanks...

Texts don't really use data so you would be fine. Data use would be like Pandora.

You could get your cellphone activated on Clearwireless if it's available in your area. It works on HTC EVO, and I think it would on sensation... Just google "activate htc evo on clearwireless" to get on the right path... Good luck!

The Evo is a cdma device and the Sensation is a gsm device. They are not compatible. Clearwireless is a cdma provider (mvno).

Isn't there a provider called smart wireless?If so are they gsm or cdma?

I don't think GSM/CDMA matters in terms of 4G connection, rather Wimax/ lTE... does

Yes, it does. GSM SIMs and (for example) the SIMs used by Verizon (I don't, know if, Sprint has switched to a SIM based system for their up and coming LTE network) would not be compatible. You CANNOT USE A device like the Sensation on a CDMA network, period.

Sprint uses "integrated SIMs" for their LTE phones, which basically means they still use the same MEID/ESN system. Identical to the old 3G/WiMax system. And yes, you're correct. You can't use a GSM phone on a CDMA network period. You can, however take a hybrid GSM/CDMA phone (like a Droid 2 Global) and get it to work on GSM networks by hacking the radio not to ignore domestic networks like AT&T and T-Mobile.
I was wondering about getting 4G service on the $25 plan would that be an option if I flashed my Optimus V over to the EVO 4G? I am still not sure I want to do this yet because I am considering ditching this altogether since freedompop is offering free 500MB using sprint towers soon and coverage for 4G is non-existent where I am but the option would be nice.

4g isn't possible. The OV is a 3g phone, where would you get the 4g from?
When your cloning a donor phone, you get the same options available to the donor. 3g=3g it doesn't matter the evo is 4g

someone told me that you could clone a mac address from a 4g VM phone...which has me considering finding a broken 4G VM phone.
