Okay , I have and lg lucid under Verizon and a Motorola matrix HD under att. Both are 4g phones with micro sim cards and the matrix is unlocked. Should it be possible to switch the sim card to the matrix and be able to use it right away

No as the micro sim on Verizon is for data only and they run on CDMA for talk and the ATT device is a GSM device. The voice signals are not cross compatable.
Now that's just dissapointing. And no way to get around this?

Well the inspire is hsdpa+ not lte. So its more like 3.5 g. When lte phones come out you will need a 4g sim card.

No a 4g card is a marketing bullish*t way of making a quick buck. Your standard sim will work for 4g once backhaul takes place

He said for LTE phones, LTE phones will use a new sim card... How is a 4g sim card a marketing ploy to make a quick buck when they are free......
Is it possible that nexus s will work on Verizon being that they now use a SIM card for there 4g network?

no NOT at all lol its like using an am only radio to pick up fm freq's. its just the same way that tmo and att 3g are different
No it will never work. However the nexus s is now released on sprint, And that model will work on Verizon.
does the sprint nexus use a SIM card? im not familiar with there network, and will the verizon 4G work on the sprint nexus s ?
No no no.
None of the Nexus S models, nit even the sprint one, will work on Verizon.

okay thanks for the verification.
My inspire is for AT&T which I have unlocked for t - mobile but I only get edge internet...
I saw there was a number to(call)/ dial to change settings but when I set it to 3g my signal would just stop and say no service. I also heard wasn't possible to have 3 but I doubt that, is it true?

That depends on the area where you are....in the case you are using a different carrier from ATT you wont get 3g...just edge.
So "lay012" gets 3g because he has AT&T?
There's no way then?

For 3G
Tmobile uses 1700/2100 MHz
HTC Inspire uses 850/1900 MHz
So to answer you, there is NO way. Have to get a phone that matches the network.
The stuff they teach you in school 'skimming and scanning' or whatever your teachers called it shouldn't be used in life after school. I didn't see the unlocked for T-Mobile part .-.
I'm on AT&T.

No the bands are hardware dependent. This has been talked about it hundreds of times. A search would have shown this.

Hi. I searched the forum but could not find a similar thread, so sorry if this has been covered in the past.
I currently have a ATT Galaxy S2 and I bought a HTC One X (ATT Version) on ebay that I should receive next week. The sim card I currently use in my GS2 is the 3g/LTE version and I know this because I have the original packing of the sim card and it says 3G/LTE. So when I get my One X I have to cut my sim card to fit the One X. Is this all I have to do since my sim card is LTE ready or do I have to contact ATT to change something in my data plan to LTE? Will my monthly rate increase because I'll be using LTE ( I think not, but just want confirmation)?
Thanks
You are probably going to have to change your plan to some late plan.
You need to call AT&T and add LTE to your account. There is no change.
Also, if you buy the phone from AT&T, it will include a micro SIM. No need to cut one.

You will want to grab a new sim. If the sim card number does not match up as lte micro sim it won't let you add the lte plan on your account

I didn't have to buy a new sim to get the lte plan. I just cut my sim, called at&t and got lte added. They may have changed protocol or something, but I didn't need to.

The sims are the same. Just different size. If you go to a corporate store they are free. I work at one and we are always glad to to change a sim and make sure your plan is provisioned properly. (Was a big rooter/android fan since the g1 which inspired me to work for att)
