Unlock sim Att HOX

I'm new so stick with me, I want to unlock
My One X to work on straight talk but here's the problem, bought on att but I no longer have service and my att account is in bad standing. They canceled my account for me. So does that mean that even if I unlock the phone it won't work or will it? I want to know before I pay for the micro sim.

Its been reported by several folks on here that the phone does not need to be SIM unlocked to work on Straight Talk, as long as you pick the AT&T SIM when you sign up.

Straight Talk uses the same towers as At&T, so the At&T SIM will definately work.

Using 3G data in Europe

So I'm looking into traveling to Portugal this summer and I'm wondering if I can grab a 3G data only card from Vodofone and pop it into my S3. I know the phone needs to be unlocked for this to work and I have seen a long involved tutorial on here on how to unlock the phone, but I've also heard Verizon will unlock a phone for you if you are a customer in good standing. Is this true? If I can get Verizon to unlock my phone should I theoretically be able to use this data sim card in Portugal?
Also, I know Vodafone lets you make calls to other Vodafone users for free, will I be able to do this if a get a sim card with some prepaid data on it only? Am I still considered to be on Vodafone's cellular network?
Thanks so much!
As a side: If anyone has an experience with Vodafone's 3G in and around the Lisbon area let me know how it is!! I'm mainly looks to tether my phone to a laptop and do some development work while I'm over there.

Would you happen to have that link yo the process of where you can unlock the phone? Or you just mean the process for changing the apn

I'm pretty sure the thread they're referring to is the GSM travel thread. If using a JB TW rom, one just needs to edit the apn's like you mentioned.

Got it, thanks!
I've also heard that the Verizon GSIII does not have the radio's for internation GSM 3G, is this correct?

I would say that's incorrect given the thread I posted which contains plenty of user experiences contradicting that statement. I'm eager to do this myself if I travel again this year.
The primary thing you just need to do is have an international sim and also use one of the mentioned apps that adjusts your APNs.

Thank you! When you say 'international sim' do you mean just a sim from another country or do I have to ask for some specific type of sim card? Meaning, if I got to a Vodafone kiosk and get a prepaid sim card would it work?

Yes, I mean a sim from another country.
From what I've read, that's pretty much what you do. You just pay for whichever plan you want then follow those steps in the link. I can't speak from experience so I'm useless there. Depending on the carrier and country, some folks seem to have gotten HSPA others have gotten 2G. I'd love to know what you're results were after your trip either here or in that thread.

[q] razr hd verizon

Guys, i need help. :|
I am brazilian and i'm about to take a RAZR HD used, but the phone is locked by VERIZON.
Is there any way to unlock the phone?
Help :|

The Droid RAZR HD from Verizon should be Global gsm sim unlocked, meaning you can buy it from Verizon go to Brazil and put a gsm sim card in it and it should work without any problems. No need to unlock it or anything.

But i heard the VERIZON devices is CDMA...they really compatible with GSM network? Your device is verizon, but you use the verizon services?

Hello,
I'm planning to buy a Razr HD too, i'm from India. I once bought the Motorola Photon 4G from eBay India and the network was working fine. I used an Aritel sim card, it was a Sprint device, but since Photon is a world phone it read the SIM. The major problem it had was that the internet wasn't working on it, and the phone had MANY bugs, I couldn't even connect it to WiFi. So, without internet connectivity I just used it as a MP3 Player.
I want to buy Razr HD, and Motorola is not launching it in India so the ebay one is a Verizon Unlocked. I'm pretty sure that the phone will read the sim, but i have my doubts wether it'll connect to the internet or not. Even in your case, I think you will be able to make calls etc. but i have my doubts on data services.
Should I go for it? Or just pick the LG Nexus 4?

well, the owner of the phone has cutted and inserted a micro sim on the razr, but the message "the sim card is from a unknown source" has appeared in the screen :|

Is it a GSM SIM or a CDMA one? Try to re-insert it, or try another carrier. If the phone is locked try unlocking it
Sent from my LT22i using xda premium

Why do these threads continually appear? They have been answered at least a dozen times.
The Verizon model of the RAZR HD is UNLOCKED FOR INTERNATIONAL CARRIERS. No codes are required. If you want to use the Verizon model on a US GSM carrier (ATT/TMobile), you have to do a little hackery.
Yes, you will see an annoying "This SIM is from an unknown source" warning when you start the phone. Press OK to bypass it (or root the phone and freeze the APK that displays that warning.)
I have been to Australia numerous times with this phone -- there is no CDMA anything in Australia -- and the phone works just fine on AU carriers at HSPA+ speeds.

What about the internet connectivity? Data Connection? GPRS settings don't come automatically and dont work manually.

How do i can "unlock" or "hack" the phone? Sorry, i'm new in this area. :\

The owner has cutted a GSM SIM and inserted, and the message has appeared. The phone is only locked by Verizon.
I've read on many sites...the Verizon Razr can't be unlocked... i'm confused. :|

I haven't unlocked any phone yet, so I dont know much details. There is an unlocking key which I think the service center guys know about. Not Sure

Did you not read what I said? The RAZR HD, is UNLOCKED OUT OF THE BOX. Do NOT pay a service to unlock the phone. IT IS ALREADY UNLOCKED. No code is required.
Everything works fine internationally (this includes data). You can manually enter APNs if you have to right from the settings page. Just pull out the Verizon SIM, and put in whatever international SIM you want. That's all you have to do. Note the phone uses Micro-SIMs, so you will need to cut a regular SIM down to size or buy a micro one.
The only time you will run into a problem is if you bring it to the US. The radio won't accept an ATT or TMobile SIM. If you fall into this small subset of people, then you will need to change some values in the radio. There's a thread on here somewhere about it.
As I said before, I have been to Australia many times with this thing. During these trips I removed the VZW SIM and used an Australian SIM to avoid Verizon's insane Australian Charges ($5/min voice, $25/MB data.)

[Q] XT910 - Dual Carrier Question

Hey everyone,
I have the XT910 (unlocked) here in the US with an AT&T SIM and I am going to Spain in a few months. I have a company phone on the Verizon CDMA band. Is there a way to port that number to my personal phone and only have to carry one device?
Any experiences?

I think you are out of luck.
The XT912 probably won't work with a Verizon MicroSIM.

Sorry, I didn't realize I had a typo in my original response.... xt912 is Rogers version which is CDMA.
The same still holds.
The xt910 is GSM device that does not support Verizon LTE or CDMA.
http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_razr_xt910-4273.php
Verizon uses the SIM + MEID verification to have a device work on it's network.
So even though the SIM may fit the phone, it won't work. Even if you had a Roger's phone that supported CDMA, you would be out of luck.
Verizon locks the network so that only devices that they specifically authorize can be on their network.
It is easier to get an unlocked Verizon LTE device and use another SIM, than use another device with a Verizon SIM.
To date, I have yet to see a Verizon SIM in another carriers device and have it work, even if the device was CDMA.

Droids outside US

Will it works outside of US?
I mean GSM and UMTS(3G), not LTE. Can I use it on some random operator for GSM calls?

Yes, you can use it outside the US without restrictions. GSM\3G should work.

I got it with VZW card inside, but could not pass initial screen. Will I pass then when insert MTS sim-card ? xD

I bought it and use it in Malaysia (No Verizon here). When I first got the phone it will not pass the initial setup without a sim card. Got to trim my sim down to nano sim, pop it in and everything is alright. However I can't use LTE (due to different band) but tethering works by default without entitlement hack or root.

Tnx

Just to confirm, bought droid maxx from verizon, using on Telcel on Mexico, Getting H+, not getting LTE.

Moving to Italy next week, will update everyone when I get there an pop in local sim

Just to let everyone know, in Italy now, works like a champ!! H+ out of the box, no extra setup needed.
Sometimes defaults to EDGE, but under settings>mobile networks, just switch it to UMTS, and it'll switch to H+
Good download speeds, definitely comparable to some high pop LTE zones.
Sucks 3gb is the max data

Works with RUIM in CDMA mode in Ukraine. (EVDO).

does this work with Droid Mini as well as Ultra/Maxx?

Could I ask all of you that which version contract of Droid maxx you bring outside US? Most of Verizon phone was restricted with data plan monthly, right? Or you have to buy no contract version? I am not in US so I really confused with this. Thx

regardless of contract, the phone is the same.
Should work flawlessly outside the country. When I reboot the device, I just have to enter the 4 digit sim code, and boom, everything works.

Where do you guys bought your Droids where they ship it outside the U.S.? Verizon said that they don't ship it outside U.S., only place I found was ebay.
Also is it correct that tether is unlimited outside U.S. carriers, wifi/BT/usb, all working?
Thanks

Hi, I bought the droid maxx from Ebay. I'm using it in Malaysia, everything works, even tethering works without root or entitlement hack, so yes there is no limitation in using tethering. The phone is automatically unlocked when it is not used in the US, you do not need any unlock code. The only thing not working for me is LTE, due to different frequency.
