Rooting will give you an unlocked sim, if thats an option for you.

And on "Other", you only got T-Mobile USA, which will only give you EDGE speeds.

My phone is already rooted.. I'm running the sense 3.0 ROM... So does that mean my phone is unlocked... I plan on selling to some one who is on tmobile

My Inspire is unlocked, achieved it from rooting. i am currently using H2O Wireless SIM and 50$ a month unlimited plan, the service is great! although its not unlimited data, 100mb of data a month, but i usually only use WIFI for all my data so thats ok with me, but there is another option, its called Simple Mobile, Unlimited EVERYTHING and up to 4g speeds in some areas for 60$ a month, its a GSM chip so it can be use in an unlocked HTC Inspire... im thinking of switching to simple mobile from H2O wirelss for the unlimited data.... although my area doesnot support 4g speeds yet :*( they have a coverage map on the website that shows where their 4g speeds are covered
Well i tryed to post the links to simple mobile and H2O Wireless, but i am new to these fourms and it says i cannot post links from outside sources yet :/ but just google H2O Wireless, or Simple Mobile, Thanks!

As long as you put in you apn settibgs correctly on your inspire and you should be good!!you need that companys apn settingss for their internet and mms service!

Anyone with the Sensation on AT&T?

Looking for a good ~4" Android phone not carried by AT&T. Considering the Sensation from Bell for unlocking and use on AT&T.
Anyone using this phone (Bell or Tmobile version) on At&T 3g? I won't have a 4g plan, but 3g is good enough. I have seen some comments elsewhere that it does not work or data connection is poor.
I actually don't use a lot of data even with a smartphone (average 400-500MB/mo) so I keep a less expensive dumbphone data plan.
If being used on AT&T what plan? Is AT&T making Sensation users upgrade to smartphone plan?

I have a Bell Sensation that I bought from Negri Electronics and I am using it on AT&T. I had to add the AT&T APN (found the info here on this forum) and it works fine. I am using it on the same line that I used to have an Inspire on so I am using the same data plan. I am not sure what they would do if you use it on a new line or try and not use a data plan.
I am having no troubles with data connection and I am using the stock radio altho the phone has S-Off and is rooted.
Overall I am very happy with my decision to buy it and use it on AT&T

Bell sensation being used on at&t "medianet" plan with no issues. As stated above, on stock Rom you will have to add the correct apn.

i have the same device using the Bulletproof 2.15 ROM and a grandfathered unlimited data plan and i have not had any problems. i was considering the Atrix 2, but decided on the Sensation because it's rooted and has good ROM support. i also prefer HTC's mail app vs the stock Android/Exchange email app.

I really like the sensation too but one thing that's stopping me are the numerous reports of dust collecting under the screen. Do you guys experience the same issue on the bell version?

No dust here.

Thanks all. I figured it would work on medianet plans, but is good to get confirmation.

Does the Tmobile version only get dust under the screen?

No dust here either, but shouldn't you be concerned more with the fact that you may only get Edge data speeds on ATT or Bell with a TMO phone?

the OP is considering the Bell version which supports at&t 3G bands.

Dust
I have a pretty bad dust issue, and HTC is willing to get it taken care of but it took about 2 weeks of fighting and me having to pay to ship it back to Canada from Colorado where I live. The issue with getting support is that i violated 2 major points in the warranty, 1. I purchased the phone from www.canadagsm.ca which is not a "Authorized HTC Dealer" and 2. I am attempting to get support out side of the country of original purchase. My phone functions great and i am very pleased to have it, but this dust issue is killing me and almost makes me want to avoid HTC in the future.

[Q] Different Company

I seen that most of the phones people have on here are from T-Mobile. Can I still do everything if I have a Sensation 4G from Cincinnati Bell?

Yes you should be able to do everything except a warranty replacement, insurance claim and I think you won't be able to get automatic ota updates. You'd have to manually update whenever updates are available if you want to have current software. I am not sure if Cincinnati Bell shares 3g/4g bands with T-Mobile since I'm not familiar with Cincinnati Bell.

But I won't have to do anything different like with the apn or anything like that?

[Q] ATT Inspire + Tmobile network, Options??

Ok this is just temporary. A few questions that I can't find rock hard answers too. They run on the same network, but I can't get 4g to work. I copied the APN settings from my S2, and that gave me a connection, but its super slow, slower than 3g even. Is there any way to fix this?
Also, would rooting benefit me at all with this phone as far as the connection is concerned? I don't care if I need to root was going to do it anyways.
Thanks in advance for any help!
EDIT: Speeds are 85kbps down and 62kbps up.....lol

You sound new to the phone as I was so ill pass information down to you...if you plan on using T-Mobile on the inspire 4g than your limited to edge/2g unless your in a certain state or city that already has the same frequencies that AT&T are using...in in Tuscaloosa if that helps you understand what I am saying....also with rooting you'll be able to change the radio image which as far as I understand can improve the quality and speed of a connection...its best to go with AT&T and get 4g speeds unless your in a big city....also there's another phone sikiliar to the inspire. It's the European version of this phone, its essentially the same phone...check out the HTC desire HD forum...and to root, I used AAHK...I don't have a direct link but you'll be able to find a few of my threads

WiFi calling

Has anyone gotten the T-Mobile Wi-Fi calling features to work on the moto x?

Doubt it. There was a huge bounty for someone to get it working on the nexus 4. Never happened. Probably won't happen here either.

I'm on Republic Wireless, our moto x is a modded sprint phone. My WiFi calling works amazing.
PS I used to be on T-Mobile with my HTC One. I just couldn't resist the savings that RW gives me.

How's sprint service? I'm tempted, but everything I hear about it is horrible. I had sprint before and it was bad, especially data.

I had sprint before actually. I had a GSII that I bought on contract 30 days before the GSIII announced and launched. So I was stuck with a 4G wimax phone in an area where we have no sort of 4G. And I was stuck paying for that useless 4G.
I'm happy with republic since with WiFi I don't worry about call reception. And it roams on Verizon if needed.
And for data plans I can pay and use 3G if I wanted to or 4G if it ever comes here. But I'm happy not having data when driving or shopping. And only paying $10 makes me happy with that decision.
But yes I won't lie. Sprints 3G is usually abysmal. My fiancée just got an iPhone 5S on sprints one up. Now he's paying $96/month for the same service I get on a ****ty iSheep device.
If I wanted to use 4G I'd only have to pay $40/month and thats comparable to T-Mobile pre and postpaid. And republic let's you switxh plans twice a month if you want. They are talking of simply selling buckets of data too for people like me that are happy with just cell calls And texts with WiFi only data, but occasionally wish we had a bit of mobile data.

I have sprint, how do I use Wi-Fi calling?
Sent from my XT1056 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

No input on Wi-Fi calling but I will chime in on Sprint services with the Moto X!
I am coming from and 18 month old Evo LTE, rooted to the Moto X with the Sprint SIM card installed (bought from MotoMaker Cyber Monday) Had to activate the phone through a chat conversation on the activation website.
-I will admit that I am now actually very pleased with Sprint service in my area....
-It actually connects really well to 4G and STAYS connected....
-It (usually) re-connects to 4G when in an area of 4G unlike with my Evo (meaning it would sometimes connect to 4G then the next day I wouldn't even be able to connect to force 4G in the same location)
-The Sprint 4G speeds SUCK at best though. Check Sensorly speeds in my 4G area..... you may see a 14mb but average would MAYBE be 6MB, me that's 3G speeds.
-I still am thinking of dropping Sprint. Sure it's unlimited but Sprint has taught me to rely on Wi-Fi.

Well doing some research I found that republic wireless uses sprint signal. Even doing a coverage check they say to look at sprints maps. So I also seen that bringing a sprint phone to republic wireless is not possible because of republics wifi calling or what they call hybrid calling has specific code baked into their phones Rom.
So with that info how hard would it be to extract that features code from their Roms for use on Sprint phone s? Or could a Sprint phone flash a republic rom and be able to use that wifi calling feature on Sprint.

Wifi Calling has always been closed source and will never be available on 3rd party ROM......If something change it would be #1 news on XDA

So just to put this out there. My cousin has a HTC one sprint phone and he was complaining how it kept popping up something about unable to connect to WiFi calling whenever he tried to call someone. I took a look at his phone and were settings in his phone related to WiFi calling. But it was wanting account information or a sip account. Thought that was interesting.

I think the SIP internet calling options were added waaay back in GB?. Maybe it wasn't until ICS. OP wants native wifi calling. Google Voice + Groove IP is about as close as you can get for now.

Odd, I thought you could activate Internet Calling with a build.prop change & something in the permissions folder... Noticed I had it on my CM10.1.3 Galaxy Note.
