I am not sure if this been talk about, and cant find any thing about this on the forum. But this is multiple question.
If I get a 4g phone from another country and use it for ATT can i recieve 4g services?
Also can ATT detect if you are using their 4g network?
And can they instantly charge you with their 4g plans?
Also which phone will let me do that too?

You should be able to stick with your current plan. That's what they did for me, and many other posters.
Are you actually seeing a 3G icon? What UL/DL speeds are you getting?
There's currently no way to disable 4G and force 3G. You can disable WCDMA, but that will force 2G only.
Tmobile's 4G is actually just 3G plus great marketing. You can disable 3G to help your battery but then you'd be down to just EDGE.
I am getting 4g service I was just wondering wether there was a 4g sim cand or something that would improve the spewed cause honestly its only a little faster. Also for some reason my Yahoo mail won't sync any sugggestions. And btw I'm loving this phoon coming from the hd7

So, to clarify, are you saying there's no protocol difference between TMO's 3G and "4G"? Is the TMO 4G just an upgrade in speed of the same 3G data connection? Since it seems there are 4G SIMs, and the IMEI needs to be registered as 4G, and the phone needs special HW and SW for 4G, I was under the impression that TMO's 4G is actually a different protocol.
I understand TMO's 4G does not meet the speed definition of true 4G, but it could still be using a separate data format and protocol than 3G.
On my phone so I really can't provide all the links and stuff but tmobile's
4G is hspa+ which is 3G tech. You can research more about it if you want.

is your mobile data on?
The AT&T HTC Inspire does not have T-Mobile 4G bands. Heck, it doesn't even have true 4G its just HSPA+ which is more like 3.5G.
It doesn't have T-Mobile 3G bands either, so you are stuck with edge.

I have a brought my European One S to USA. I am on Tmobiles mothly4g plan but my mobile internet speed does not go up more then Edge. Does my phone allow me to use Tmobiles 4g or at least 3g? I am a little confused with all the radios and everything, is there any way I can make 4g work on my European One S? Thank you!
I don't think the International one s has the tmo 4G bands. You'd be better off with like a straight talk att sim.
So I bought a sidekick 4g thinking I could use my at&t sim card for it and got it unlocked but have one problem. I can only get 2g at the most on my network and asked the service provider who provided me with the unlock code for a solution to this. They told me something about T-Mobile running a different network than at&t and how at&t was updating there network so that I could get 4g on my phone and how it was going to be ready before the end of this year... Is it possible to get 4g yet or any other way around this?

Nope, that person lied to you as well.
AT&T and T-Mobile have different HSPA (4G technically) bands. I think AT&T uses the 850mhz HSPA Band, while T-Mobile uses a different one. Since thats the case, your SIM Card is looking for a band that the phones modem dosent have. Thus, knocks you back to EDGE. Forever.
I am fed up with Sprint so I bailed with the phone I got from them and it's unlocked. It appears after doing research that they had the last laugh. This phone can only get 3g using GSM with Cricket. They offer 4g LTE but are telling me I can't use it because of this phone. I attempted to turn on the LTE CDMA but it doens't show 3G or 4G although it appears to be connected and it drops connection constantly. Very unreliable.
So my question, is there a custom ROM that I can put on this phone that will allow me to use 4g LTE on Cricket/ATT network?
No, it wont work because of the Sprint hardware. A custom ROM can't solve this.
