I have this HTC incredible s from T-mobile which has all the frequencies. In the past we never had any problem, we unlocked it and were able to use it on any canadian network including wind and mobilicity. For some reason after unlocking ( code unlocking) its not working on bell. I never got chance to try telus which is also 3g network. I have tried it already on rogers , mobilicity, Fido but bell.
Please help

My HTC Incredible S worked perfectly fine on Bell network. I suspect that something is wrong with your SIM card? You could also try bringing it to Bell. Or you can try purchasing another SIM card from the Source or something for like $5 and see if it works.
Also, just because something is from T-Mobile doesn't mean it has all the frequencies....
Bell and Telus share networks (along with their subsidiaries) out west, not sure in the east. It could have something to do with your service provider and their roaming agreements.
When I travel south to Washington from BC, my Virgin (Bell) phone roams to Verizon.

Go to Bell Store.
Just wanted to chime in and say that I'm with Bell (a 3yr contract, urgh...) and my Inc S works just fine on Bell's network (stock GB/ICS ROM, and szeszo's various ROMs). So yeah, definitely check your SIM card...

I'm almost positive that you should be able to pop in any sim card, pre- or post-paid, and it should work...
i just tested it with a nextel chip with a plan but no data service and i still get no bars??? i will try to put up some pics....please help if ya can...thanks
As far as I know Nextel doesn't use GSM networks it has it's own iDEN network, I don't know what the difference is, or if it should work with a GSM receiver but I can't say I'm surprised it doesn't work. Also from what I've heard, the phone has only received FCC certifications on T-Mob and AT&T for the phone you have, Verizon passed separately. Again, don't know if this helps, but I'm not shocked it doesn't work. Your phone is carrier unlocked, it came that way from HTC and unlocking the bootloader has nothing to do with which carriers it will work with.
no all i did was i bought it on a tmobile network through google then i had unlock the bootloader then rooted the phone now is there a way to use differ carriers??? i did not buy it unlocked......from google.....so is there a way ?

Dude... your question is moot! The phone, even if bought on a T-mobile line, IS NOT LOCKED TO ANY SPECIFIC CARRIER! You can pop in ANY GSM SIM CARD, and it will work. I bought mine on a T-mobile upgrade... but I can throw in an AT&T, Rogers, Fido, Vodaphone, etc., SIM, and it will work just fine.
o okay will try it out with att thanks...
i popped my my fido sim and it worked

The worst part is that it's being shipped to the store and they still don't have it.
Good news about the unlock though =D
Well, I think they still make you sign the contract in order to buy it at a subsidized price. Locking it to a specific carrier is just redundant.
be careful... afaik ROGERS and FIDO are basically the same now ... if u try another carrier's sim it probably wont work

True... i just tried with telus. No go.
But I am pleased to know that the Rogers version will work with Fido anyway because plenty of Rog phones aren't compatible with Fido SIMs and vice versa.

No way to get 3g on Att if it has the T-mobile 3g radio...
You can use it on Att easily (even without rooting) by just signing up for a plan and popping in a sim card into the Nexus... but you will only get Edge data + your voice/text.
I would REALLY advise against switching since you wont be able to get 3g and Att just capped their data plans at 2gb/mo
cool, thanks for the info, how about vodafone sim card? i have a cousin that wants to use it with vodafone but dont know if it will work.

Hello Everyone,
I've done a bit of searching but still can't find out if i'm having an issue or if this is the way it's suppose to work. This is my first experience with an Unlocked phone as well as Android. So here's the story.
I rooted my phone and then used the Unlock Pro to unlock it. I ordered an AT&T Sim card from Ebay, which arrived last week. I put the Sim card in my phone and it boots up, everything seems fine except that it says "No Service". I contacted AT&T and they confirmed that the Sim is active and it should be working.
To make sure that my phone was unlocked. I used the program to lock it again "with the rogers SIM in it" and then put in the AT&T sim and I was asked for an Unlock Code. So I took that to mean that it was properly unlocked. So I unlocked it again, and then put the Sim in but still "No Service".
I tried to put in the APN settings that I found on a site, but not sure if they are correct. and now i'm at a loss. I had purchased this for an upcoming trip to the states, but don't want to put any money on the account if it's not going to work.
I guess my first question is this "Should a new sim work out of the box?" i.e. should I be able to put in and get service even though I would be roaming in Canada?? Or do I have to be in the states first before it will work and allow me to roam in canada?
Any help you guys can provide or explaination on how it "should" work, would be great.
Well....does att provide service in canada? I don't know if rogers is part of att or not. If they don't I would assume the sim would not work because of no att towers?
Thanks for getting back to me. Rogers is not part of AT&T but they use the same GSM Frequency. So anyone travelling up here on AT&T would use the rogers towers (I believe).
That's why I'm thinking I need to be in the states before the SIM will work.
I would call att back and ask them if the case. Makes sense to me, but I'm nobody.
actually Rogers is owned by att. it is AT&T rogers wireless~!
but that does not mean that it should work.
APN settings are for data, you should still be able to make calls...
LOLOL cute
Ya i think I will do that tonight. When I was talking to them last time, the woman didn't really understand why i couldn't connect. but then again i don't think she really understood that I was in canada. LOL
Canada has the internet? Lol

Wow I'm still running with my 9800 Baud modem. Saving up for a 14.4.
Bing bong biiiiiiiing.....ahhhh the soothing sounds of dialup....those were the days.
I just tried the SIM again, seeing if maybe after a week it might just work now but ya no luck. you never know it could happen. LOLOL I'm wondering if I need to get a roaming package added to the Go Phone plan that i'm on before it will work. Gonna call customer support and find out
Since this is my first time with anything like this I'm not really sure about anything LOL
Okay so I just called at&t customer support. Didn't start off so well. First the guy told me that don't offer any service nor can any AT&T customer roam in canada. then he placed me on hold when I asked him to confirm, and he came back saying that AT&T doesn't off roaming in canada on their pay as you go phones. So i guess I can believe that one
Looks like i'll have to put some money on the sim and then hope it works when I go down there, Thanks everyone for all your help and suggestions.
I have a verizon htc one m7 running a custom rom. I'm currently in Japan and decided to get a data only sim card. Registering on the site was fine, but when I put the sim card in the phone says that it is a non verizon sim. I've put in all the APN info and I think everything should work but it isn't. I've been looking for a solution for quite a while now but with no luck.

You will need to get the device sim unlocked from the carrier.

I just spoke to a VZ rep and they said I didn't need to get it unlocked in order to use it.

If you put in a sim and it tells you it is not a Verizon aim then it is locked and they have no idea what they are talking about. Which I hate to say is not uncommon for customer service people.
Just tell them you need it unlocked to be able to use international SIM cards.
Verizon HTC one comes sim unlocked out of the box. You must change the network type to global. On most stock based ROMs, it is set to CDMA/LTE only by default.
You must also double check that the carrier you are using utilizes the frequencies that the Verizon one supports. Below is the GSM bands the Verizon one supports:
UMTS/HSPA 900/2100MHz,
GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900MHz
The verizon one does not support WCDMA or AWS LTE.
