Need to upgrade an old metro pcs phone and I was told that most verizon or sprint phones should work. Would like something with a good sized screen for a good deal. Will the HTC One work with Metro?

It only took like 30 minutes or so it cost me $50/-, but I would recomend getting the SIM (GSM) side of the imagio unlocked first, and the only way to do that is to have your/ imagio activated on the verizon wireless network first and having it on there for at least 2 months, then call verizon wireless globel number which is001-800-922-0204or 001-908-559-4899 if your out side the United States Of America and have them give you the unlock code, or have somebody whos been with verizon for years and has paid there bill on time for the past two month switch there line on to your imagio and then call the vzw globel number and have them give you the unlock code, i wish i had done this before having my imagio flashed to cricket if i want to do it now i' have to get verizon for at least two months before they give me the hnlock code or know some one who has verizon, and then have my imagio flashed to cricket if i want to get it on cricket, , ive already paid 330 for the imagio and another 90 to get it flashed nkw im finding i cant ever use an other sim card unless i have my imagio unlocked, i bust wish i knew this before,
good luck i hope this helps, oh i think once you have paid the full price and own the imagio l without a contract verizon should allow you to have the basic plan for 30 a month with isnt bad... think about it
I have a friend who works at cricket, he tried my imagio but said the esn # was not in the system in my local area? If ur were successfull in getting urs flashed and switched to cricket, please let me know what city u live in or a way for me to get it flashed. This is the only reason i bought the imagio.
BTW mine is already unlocked, currenlty using with ATT.

dayton ohio, how did you unlock your imagio? the cricket people cant help you, you need to go to a cricket non franchise shop who flash phones and have sell other phones besides cricket...
I got mine unlocked from a seller on eBay. cost me $13 bucks. What's a non cricket store? Best Buy? In some cities, Cricket doesn't require you to buy a phone from them in order to get service, u can bring ur own. This the kind of city i'm seraching for. Hopefully they can give me the instructions over the phone and i can activate myself. Get service from that city and after a month get a local number.

Just to clarify, what do you mean by you "unlocked" it. How did you do this? I'm pretty sure the only way to unlock our Ones is by going through sprint. Also if you do use it on ATT you won't get LTE because they have different LTE bands than sprint.

i unlocked it through a sprint all in one kit, maybe this was just for rooting it, but anyway I was justtrying to figure out if there was a wat to get my htc one on att, I'm not worried about the lte.

Ok, if you used the All In One toolkit then yes you are just rooted. To get your phone unlocked you will have to directly contact sprint!
Note also that in the US, depending on the location, AT&T operates on some combination of two 3G bands and two 4G bands. Of these four hi-speed data bands, the Sprint HTC One variant only supports one band. Therefore, even if you get the phone unlocked and working on AT&T, its data performance may not be all that great.
I haven't been up to date on flashing and switching carriers in a few years, I used to do it all the time.
My girlfriend broke here phone (Verizon Contract) and needed a new phone, we got a good deal on a HTC One (m7) Model No: HTC PN072. And purchased it.
I thought it was still be the same old flash the radios call Verizon and keep asking for new people until I get someone who can offer to activate. Now I am looking for an unlock tool and all I can find is GSM SIM unlockers, and can't find the right Verizon Radios for this phone.
My girlfriend is pissed because now she doesn't have a phone and we just spent money on this new phone. Am I SOL? Or is there a thread somewhere that my googfu just can't find?

i tried to do this for a phone for mom. it doesnt matter what you do with the phone- verizon has white lists now. if they dont have the ESN in their system, they WILL NOT activate it. you have a sprint ESN, so you will never activate that on verizon no matter how many times you call them.
sucks, i know. I had to buy a verizon m7.
It can be done using a donor phone the same way you would fllash a phone to metropcs. you can find plenty of tutorials online just replace everything metro with sprint.
Any luck on this? I have a Sprint HTC One M8 that I wish to bring over to Verizon. I'm not new to changing ESNs and I understand the legal ramifications of using a service that is unpaid for, so that aside, I'm paying for the service. I had bought the phone intending to switch to Ting, but the IMEI is locked to Sprint for one year from release. I have until April when that gets unlocked, so I figured to use it without the SIM card, since that's what allows 4G LTE usage on CDMA phones, at least from what I am told by people and the phone (once I removed the SIM card it started giving me that message). Hell I'm ok disabling data altogether, but as long as I can make calls and text, I'm jolly.
You could flash them to pageplus although I think they only have 3g.
Pageplus has 4G albeit at a reduced speed but effective 1/15/2015 they will not accept flashed phones anymore

This is illegal and not appropriate conversation on XDA. It's out there though, although I've only seen people flashing phones from Verizon to Page Plus or Sprint to Virgin or Boost. Never seen Sprint to Verizon or vice versa.
I was under the impression that Sprint and Verizon use different signal frequencies, and that the radios installed by HTC during build were specific to the frequency. Yes, they are both CDMA, but different frequencies.
I am going to purchase Nexus 6 (Sprint) from Best Buy at its full price (i.e., not subsidized). Then I will use it on AT&T network. Can anyone share your experence? I would want to know whether it is really locked to Sprint?
Someone mentioned that his Sprint device is locked to Sprint which he purchased from Amazon recently. This could be a headache if it's true. Thank you!
i cant speak to ATT working but i bought the sprint model from best buy and it activated just fine on verizon, pretty sure any carrier will work

It won't work... Sprint uses CDMA and Att is GSM only so there is no way to use an Att phone on Sprint. However you can use a Sprint phone on Att with a sim unlock.
