AT&T One X & MVNOs - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

I'm thinking of canceling my account with AT&T and using straight talk or a different MVNO but I have a few questions.
Will I still get AT&T updates? If not, will using straight talk prevent me from using any AT&T based roms or mods?
Will I lose LTE support? I don't have LTE in my area yet but it's supposed to be here in 2013.
Is anyone using a MVNO with their AT&T One X? If so, how's everything working? What's the best one to use?
I'll probably lose my warranty through AT&T but will HTC still cover the phone?

1) I don't think you'll get OTA updates, but I could be wrong. And obviously you can use AT&T roms, they're built for the phone.
2) Obviously, unless the MNVO you are changing to is allowed to use LTE, which is unlikely.
3) Using T-Mobile so don't know.
4) Yes they will.

No AT&T update, but you'll be able to use it with any ROM (as long as it doesn't require a SIM unlock, which you will have to do yourself).
You will get LTE support if the MVNO is an AT&T reseller and has LTE in your area. Though, afaik, there isn't any MVNO that offers LTE, maybe HSPA+. You can try Straighttalk or H2OWireless.
If you've been paying monthly for AT&T mobile warranty, then yes you will lose that, but HTC will still cover the phone for the limited period.

Straight Talk? Does your card use TMo or AT&T towers?
Att

Then that would be why. AT&T phones don't need to be unlocked in order to use Straight Talk SIMs going through AT&T towers.
That's why it works. Straight Talk uses att network. So no unlock needed.
Wow, do i feel stupid lol

I wouldn't feel too stupid, SIM locks don't always allow MVNOs that run on the same carrier to work. Some of them look at the carrier ID on the SIM card and refuse to work if it doesn't exactly match the carrier they're locked to.

Probably a dumb question. Vzw sg3 on other USA carrier?

Looking at getting off Verizon, do not want to get another contract.
What is the status of our phone working on hspa? I've read in the development forum that in parts of Europe it gets hspa speeds as well as 3g so it's a Verizon thing?
Am rooted, unlocked yadda yadda running paranoid android rom.
Thx all.

Sell your phone for $300+, get a new one on your new carrier for less. Why keep it?

Thanks, but I am looking to set up on a prepaid service more or less. Guess I should have mentioned that in the op.

Won't work on US HSPA. There is a bounty thread in the forum trying to get it to work. Get another phone as other poster recommended. Will get EVDO speed. My other Rezound is Global on TMobile get EVDO only. Everything else will work tho.

possible or not? Fido version to work on wind?

I came across a great deal the other day, thought i would upgrade my HTC mytouch to a htc 1 s.
Now I've got this great device... but i don't think it supports the bands.
From what I've read it's the same device, same FCC ID and everything... i've unlocked it, but won't connect.
any takers?
possible?
Call wind.
As far as your any takers comment..if you are trying to sell it please read the rules

i meant to say mobilicity, not wind... it won't even pick up any networks though. seems like aws isn't activated or something on the device.
I use an unlocked Fido One S on Wind, it works perfectly, I actually get better reception then I did with my G2 which was a t-mobile phone. I have tested it with a Mobilicity sim and it works, just need to set the APNs and the phone must be unlocked
got it
got it, please delete thread.

You called Sprint for the unlock code for your AT&T phone? That doesn't make any sense. Sprint is a CDMA carrier, CDMA phones don't have SIM cards (and therefore dont' have SIM unlock codes) and they also don't even carry the One X anyway. Verizon is also a CDMA carrier, and your GSM One X would not have worked on Verizon for that guy.
If the paid SIM unlock code did not work, that vendor should give you a refund. People have had good luck with cellunlocker.net.
But keep in mind that unlocking the SIM will not make the phone work on Sprint or Verizon. It will only work on AT&T and T-Mobile (and associated carriers like Straight Talk, that use AT&T/T-Mobs networks), as they are the only major GSM carriers in the US. And on T-Mob, the phone will only get EDGE data speed in most areas, due to the phone not being compatible with T-Mobs 3G/4G network.
Att is gsm sprint and Verizon are completely different this phone will not work on those two providers

You need a non att sim card to enter the code so just let the buyer do it themselves

[Q]carrier unlock

Hi I'm looking to find a way to carrier unlock my mothers droid ultra (Verizon) she's looking to switch to straight talk is there a way for me to do it without paying a company to send me the unlock code? If not does anyone have experience with going from vzw to st with an non unlocked device?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
afaik, its already unlocked and I have seen here saying its working on T-Mob Nano SIM without an issue (2G and reframed 3G, but NO LTE). But I am NOT from US, so some other members can be more accurate than me...

Hey.. I was using mine on straight talk. Now I'm using it with cricket and still works fine. I get H+ most of the time but sometimes and in certain places I get LTE.
No unlock code needed. And I have the latest update. Not rooted or anything. 100% stock.
