hardware vs carrier
both the hardware and carriers work against us in the us. vote with your money, don't give it to them.
What's the big deal about just getting a new sim? U just in the middle of a tmo contract?

The thunderbolt is not a gsm phone which is what t-mobile network is, so it will never work.

Further added, the band of LTE is 700, while GSM carriers use 850, 1900. So no, it absolutely won't work.
Live my phone. Want another back up. Tmo is my provider

Don't live in the US but don't Verizon use LTE and CDMA and T-Mobile USA use HSPA + which is GSM?
So I assume the actual hardware would be different which means you couldn't just flash the Sensation to Verizon?
Jar curious because I'm getting one for free

I have not heard of a CDMA Sensation, so my answer on this question would be a no, as the Sensation is traditionally a GSM device.
No. Not possible at all.

I have an HTC Thunderbolt which has a SIM card for verizon 4g LTE and I have a sensation 4g (t-mobile) i got used for a steal and I can put my sim card in the sensation. the previous posts dont help me because Im a noob and am confused
Please help
Doesn't matter if you can put the sim card from Verizon into the Sensation, it's not going to work. The Sensation does not use LTE, so an LTE sim isn't going to work.
ok, thank you. Can I unlock it or will it still not work?

No. It depends on hardware, not software Simply answer: Sorry, but no
So as of tonight I bought a HTC Merge on ebay. Is it gonna be able to work on T-Mobile at all. I ddon't care about it being edge. I just want it to work because its a bad ass phone. I really love this phone and can't wait for it. But I wanna use it. I Googled it. And it has the frequencies match for edge. Please let me know.

I found root and s off for it. Which is a plus. And a few roms aand unlock codes.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium
Yeah. it should. It's only going to be EDGE though. So, don't be shocked, and it's also got a single core 800mhz processor.
that's not bad. Its comparable to the G2. And yeah edge. Was expecting that. my only phones right now are currently edge. I'm use to it now. I have wifi at home and work. Do you know of anyone who's using a us cellular merge with T-Mobile
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium
And is it possible to do software wise. Or would I have to get the code via blowfish Unlocks?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium
Well. I got my Merge unlocked and rooted. And it just says no service. So does anyone know of something that can mod it to work?

You're gonna have to ask some Merge experts on that. Surely theres something special you have to do because its provisioned as a CDMA phone by default. You probably have to do something for it to recognize your SIM properly for GSM.
Probably. Honestly. I found one on Craigslist that the dude was running on tmobile and I tried to find it just about an hour ago and now I can't. So I couldn't ask him. But I tried to contact one guy who was in the merge dev. Or at least he was

It IS the G2...
The G2, Desire Z, Vanguard, and Merge is actually called "HTC Vision". But the Merge never had the Z hinge that the G2 and Desire Z had. But that's why they all have the 2nd Gen 800Mhz Snapdragon.
The thing about the Merge is, it was meant to be the HTC Vision for Verizon, but Verizon never let it be released in their stores. I think US Cellular has it right now though, and it is completely compatible with Verizon's network. So the Merge is like the long lost brother of the G2 and Desire Z.
Anyways to answer your question, your HTC Merge will be able to be serviced under T-Mobile (and even At&t) according to phonescoop.

I really like how it has both GSM AND CDMA radios
-EDIT-
I remember on my cousin's Droid 2 Global, have you tried to go to Settings and Wireless settings and then you had to change something from like "CDMA only" or "GSM only"?
Yeah I tried my att sim. It says no service. I have the u.s cellular one. Temp rooted with visionary. I sim unlocked it too

A rom might be nice. I'm only temp rooted. Got a link? Id wonder if s-off root and a rom would do me well. I remember with my droid incredible 2 when I rooted it via revolutionary it worked on tmobile. I wish the merge was the same. I love the merge more

And mine is sim unlocked. Temp rooted. Stock 2.2 us cellular rom. And now it doesn't say no service. It says emergency calls only.

Please I hope someone who's an expert on the merge will read this and help me in my situation.

okay ill just have to wait till i restart my plan to double check and if not ill have to have TMO send me a diff card or something i guess is there a way to check for a hardware malfunction

And yeah you can have hardware problems but rare and I don't think you would have more then no 4g

That's not the T Mous version, that's a Euro version which according to Google doesn't have correct bands for T Mous 4g. The T Mous one is htc sensation z710e.
Edit you are missing HSPA/WCDMA 1700 band which T Mous uses for 4g.

Seriously dude, how are you missing the fact that his phone doesn't have the correct band for T Mous 4g? SIM card won't change that, it's hardware related.
This amazon link shows the model and bands for T Mous Sensation 4g bands in case you don't believe me

Hi,
Is there any way to overcome the signal problems? becaus the phone does not support all frequencies in Israel. Maybe another rom??
And one other thing, which rom has the best battery life?
