Hey guise, I'm just wondering which US mobile carrier houses the most customers.
I tried Google and couldn't get any real numbers or answers from reliable sources.

Had they succeeded in buying T-Mo they would be. I'm pretty sure Verizon is still king of the subscriber count for now, though.

VZW has the lead by 7 million

Im pretty sure its Verizon
1. Verizon
2. ATT
3. Sprint
4. T-Mobile
Though it seems where I live, most everybody is rolling with Cricket prepaid (but they may fall under Sprint)

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.

So I heard the international HTC one S will not work with Tmobiles 4G, can that be changed if we get a stock Tmo RUU with a Tmo radio?
I don't think so. Pretty sure it's the hardware. T-Mo's version is coming out in about 2 weeks, if you've already bought the int'l version you could just return it and wait...

What's with the terrible replies and misinformation?
According to HTC's website, the international HTC One S does not support the AWS band(1700/2100) needed for T-Mobile's HSPA+
http://www.htc.com/europe/smartphones/htc-one-s/#specs
We don't have any reason to believe that this could be changed by simply flashing another ROM. Only time I've ever heard about something like that happening is with AT&T's variant of the Galaxy S. Going from memory here, but IIRC the hardware was capable of AWS but the stock firmware disabled it, and some devs figured out how to enable it again. Samsung had probably disabled the AWS at AT&T's request- to keep that phone crippled if someone tried to unlock it and take it to the only other major GSM carrier in the US- T-Mobile. I don't see any reason for HTC to disable AWS on an unlocked phone, so the more logical explanation is the hardware itself doesn't support AWS.

I dunno.
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.

You can only purchase sim cards online just be sure to get the micro sim for AT&T. Your phone doesn't need to be unlocked either if its an AT&T phone. I'm running my One X on straight talk without problem.

I don't get it. Why don't more people use straight talk instead of carriers like att? $45 a month is A LOT cheaper than an att bill. Is there some sort of catch with straight talk. Like say for example someone gets an unlocked gsm Galaxy Nexus. It seems like a no-brainer to get straight talk, but yet some go with att. With straight talk being unlimited data, voice, and text for $45 a month with no contract, you would think more people would use it.

Not a lot of people know about it. I recently discovered it 4 months ago because people kept on saying to get it in forums but yeah its way cheaper and WAY BETTER service than Sprint. I used to pay 100+ for crappy reception and 3g that would kill my battery.

It does. It can also use verizon towers depending on your service area. They basically just sub-let the towers.
It's tracfone's semi-new service.
Just got my sim and activated it. Everything went great. Voice and data are working perfectly. Glad to be off of att.
