Is the Sprint carrier unlocked? - Sprint HTC One (M8)

Let me know
My All New One

No
Sent from my 831C using Tapatalk

You will have to call Sprint International Services and tell them you are traveling overseas and if you meet certain requirements they will unlock it. If not you will just have to wait for somebody to find a fix if you want it unlocked.

To the 2 ppl that replied (and anyone out there) did you tried popping an att/tmobile Sim and see if it works? the m7 came unlocked no?
I need to know like right now cuz about to order one thanks! !!

The M7 did not come unlocked. It was the same thing with that phone. You had to call to unlock it, internationally. It was them sim unlocked for all but you had to be rooted.

Can someone try it please ? I want to buy a htc one m8 and sabré to know if the Sprint version is compatible with the 3g/4g from att? I dont care LTE

The sim unlock app on the play store stopped working after the m7 was updated to 4.4.2. This phone uses the same version of android so I very much doubt it would work.

This seems to work on the Sprint version. Havne't verified yet since I don't have a nano sim.

APN setting is required only for data to work. signal has no relation with it

Assume you already got an answer but here it is...
I have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S4 which is a dual CDMA/GSM phone. That means that while in US, my phone uses the CDMA network. However I can request that my phone be unlock for international use through GSM network using 3 party foreign SIM card. The way it is done is through PRL update and UICC unlock. Hope that helps.

So maybe they do just not for non sprint customers

I believe they're only for Sprint customers, since it's for sprint Lte...you probably need to use a SIM from whatever carrier you're on.

Not sure if anyone is gonna give you their simcard theres bound to be info tied to their account on it, so maybe see about buying a prepaid one for tmo or att or boost (if they have lte for it) and see if that works to stop message onlu cost you a month at lowest cost prepaid

I'm confused... I think we need to clarify some things here.
1) It sounds like you bought an HTC One without a SIM card, are you sure this is a Sprint HTC One? Why did it have no SIM?
2) Was your intent to get a Sprint SIM card and flash the phone to Cricket?
3) What are you looking to do with another person's SIM card?

Complete shot in the dark, and unlikely to work, but if you hold your finger on the notif, do you get an App Info option? If you do, you could deselect "Show Notifications".

Hmm try going to settings, mobile data, network mode and see if GSM / WCDMA / LTE auto is selected. What carrier are you through?
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
If you could post your wireless provider information, especially what bands they're on, that still help people dig up the appropriate information.
For the purposes of this thread, I assume when you say 4G you mean LTE, and not HSDPA+

I would hope not either. I love mine, but you could try rooting it and putting a custom Rom on it. There's s chance it could he an issue with your kernel too. And if that doesn't work you can unroot and just send it back.

IIRC Omantel is in the middle east. I'm not sure where you got the phone, but I believe you actually want a stock phone who's MID is PN0710000. This seems to be the appropriate model for Europe/Middle East which has LTE (4G) support for 800/1800/2600.
The PN0712000 supports LTE on 700/AWS. This the the current model I have over here in Canada.
Hope this helps.

COME ON.
When you know you have no idea what you're talking about, just don't respond.
OP, yes, you can do it. If you unlock it, get a sim card, the phone will work, will get data, will make calls on Tmobile.
It will not get LTE, only 3g. I believe there's something to do with Tmobile's upgrading towers to support different frequencies, so you should look into/inquire about that.
But yes, it will work to some capacity.

Correct. You will not get LTE with Tmobile. Because TMobile uses the 1700 frequncy for LTE which is AKA LTE Band 4. But you might be able to get HSPA+ 4G on the 1900 freq in refarmed areas.
I believe the Sprint HTC ONE doesn't have 1700.

I have received 2 termination notices in the past 3 years. Each time saying they were going to terminate my account due to excessive roaming. I continued to roam no less than I ever have and my account has never been cancelled. Just curious to see if anyone has actually been cancelled or if they just threaten.

If you can get the 64gb thru sprint at a discount, do it. The same phone. Same way you root, unlock bootloader, and install TWRP.
Then flash the heck out of it.
