I've been with TMO US for a long time now and want to change. I'm on a month to month plan and paid for my sensation out of pocket and don't want to have to buy another phone out of pocket again.
So, I do I have any options? Or is is the sensation TMO US only?
Thanks for your help!
If you unlock the sim you can go to AT&T, but you won't get 4G I don't think. Read up on the HTC website about the phone and the frequencies it uses, then Google the frequencies that AT&T uses. That will be your best source of info as I am at work and can't look it up and give you links.
Hope this helped.

The only other carrier that uses AWS in the US from my knowledge is Cincinnati Bell.
Yeah...only plausible option is probably,ATT, but you'll only get Edge speeds...I'd stick with TMO.
You can use simple mobile, they buy from tmobile.

I noticed on mine there is an option somewhere to change networks to att. It said it wasn't registered. Then I clicked back on tmo and it was fine. Don't know if it helps. You never know.
Edit
It is under wireless and networks then mobile networks then network operators.

I have a question... The picture below, shows an Unlocked HTC Sensation 4G from T-Mobile on the left side, and on the right an Unlocked HTC Inspire 4G from AT&T... my question is... why is the Inspire (right) unable to show T-Mobile as an option of network operator? thank you!
Also, just in case... I can use the T-Mobile sim card on the Inspire, and the AT&T sim card on the Sensation with no issues... remember, they are both unlocked...
Sensation -> Stock ROM
Inspire -> Android Revolution HD ROM (from mike1986) with Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2
If you scan in your Inspire, do you see T-Mobile?
My Inspire shows both AT&T and T-Mobile.

Any idea why I don't see T-Mobile in my scan? But I can use T-Mobile with the sim card... Strange...

so im guessing that it works like for calls and such if so then what does it matter, if you flash an AOSP rom it should have the option though, if you have a stock or improved stock rom then it will not have t-mobile in it

My stock sensation shows all networks... The inspire with custom rom does not... When I go to europe or anywhere... that means the inspire will not show all available options, and that's not good... So nobody knows why?

probably because att doesnt want you roaming on Tmobile us's network, or it might just use it as the ATT network by default if they have some sort of roaming agreement? just postulating here but in europe you should be able to see all networks
Anybody else can do a scan with HTC Inspire? Just to see results... Thanks!

Can this phone get 4g speed using a HSPA+ network???
It can go up to 14,4mbps. It's exactly the same as the european sensation, except the name.
I've used speed test and got 4 mbs down and 2 mbs up but I don't think I was in a good signal place
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
Yes it can
So, I can use this phone on att's 4g network.
That's good to know.

No, you won't have hspa+ speed on AT&T. It doesn't have the right band for it. Only compatible in europe and tmobile US.

If you want to use it on at&t and get 3g/h, you need a bell sensation from Canada.
My inspire is for AT&T which I have unlocked for t - mobile but I only get edge internet...
I saw there was a number to(call)/ dial to change settings but when I set it to 3g my signal would just stop and say no service. I also heard wasn't possible to have 3 but I doubt that, is it true?

That depends on the area where you are....in the case you are using a different carrier from ATT you wont get 3g...just edge.
So "lay012" gets 3g because he has AT&T?
There's no way then?

For 3G
Tmobile uses 1700/2100 MHz
HTC Inspire uses 850/1900 MHz
So to answer you, there is NO way. Have to get a phone that matches the network.
The stuff they teach you in school 'skimming and scanning' or whatever your teachers called it shouldn't be used in life after school. I didn't see the unlocked for T-Mobile part .-.
I'm on AT&T.

No the bands are hardware dependent. This has been talked about it hundreds of times. A search would have shown this.

After i flashed android revolution yesterday, my phone went down to 3g speeds it even says so when it downloads, did i do somethign wrong? And im with virgin not tmobile
Does it ever show "H"? The Sensation 4G icons are misleading... When you run regular Sensation ROMs you actually see what you're really connected to.
yeah it shows "3g H" in a symbol form ...
i thought my speed went down to 3g since arhd never asked anything about htc sensation 4g for virgin...
Your on HTC sensation on sprint network ?????
Sent from my Sensation 4G using xda premium
My stock 4G rom never showed 3G. It would throttle down to 2G and back to 4G...
Many of T-Mo's original "4G" phones actually showed "H" for HSPA+, but I think too many people didn't understand that.
Any time your new ROM shows "H" then you know it's running HSPA+ (4G).
my phone is from virgin.... i never noticed "H" and a 3g untill in flashed arhd yesterday
4g = h. Also, T-Mobile roms lied, and utms is also showed as 4g. There was no 3g step.
Even with h, you WILL get tmobile's 4g speed, provided the tower supports it, same as before just a different icon.

If you have a cdma phone, you CANNOT use it on GSM. This includes even if the phone has a sim for lte, it just won't work.

I have a unlocked T-Mobile HTC One S that I'm using on AT&T SIM and it works perfectly but T-Mobile SIM doesn't work (No service). It gets service for 2-5 seconds then no service. The weird thing is that this is a T-Mobile phone so isn't it suppose to work?
Is it the same problem ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVPwLtLuQ7Y&feature=plcp

Nope, it doesn't ask me to enter a PIN.
Call T-mobile and ask if the phone have been "blacklisted".
What about your radio/firmware? Up to date?

I'll give them a call. I got this phone off craigslist but I didn't test it on T-Mobile because I'm on AT&T. How does it get blacklisted?

If the original owner purchased it on a contract and then stopped paying. Or, they reported it lost or stolen.

Your only real option is to use it on a network other than T-Mobile. The only person who could possibly fix it is the original owner who had it blacklisted.

I have a One S I bought new but I am wanting to switch to ATT because I cant get a signal at work on T-Mobile.
Question: Are you getting 4G on ATT with the unlocked One S ?

It will get AT&T 4G(note, not LTE). The One S supports 850/1700/1900/2100 for 4G. You must get it unlocked of course. I purchased an instant unlock code on eBay for $6.
