So, my first question, is a Verizon HTC one m8 unlocked already?
Second, is there a way to use a TracFone sim card in it?
And last, would I have to change APN settings?
UPDATE
For anyone who wanted to know you can use a TracFone sim in thephone but it needs to be a LTE card.

Hi i got to know. It is possible to unlock a gsm phone(a gsm phone is a phone that has sim card right??). Well it is possible to unlock a phone that use sim card to use it on a company that doesn't need sim card?
First: A phone with a simcard is still a (mobile) phone!
And second: Unlocking a phone is possible: Just search the forum's or internet...
No, that is not possible. You can't unlock an AT&T or T-mobile phone (GSM) for use on Verizon or Sprint (CDMA).
I'm moving to straight talk soon, and on their website when you choose a sim card you can pick either an att sim or a sim for unlocked phones. What is the difference. I thought all unlocked phones work on att and vice versa.

Since you never got an answer just choose the AT&T SIM, that way the phone doesn't need to be unlocked if you are using a normal AT&T device.
So any overseas unlocked device will work on ATT? Like an international hox and sgs3?
I am unfamiliar with StraightTalk and what it is, but generally an AT&T sim card only works on AT&T and an unlocked phone works with any sim card ready carrier, which would probably also include AT&T. I think you then need to go get the sim card from the carrier, or at least have it activated by them.
just wondering if anyone can answer a simple question i have............i have a tmobile phone thats blocked from tmobiles network im wondering if i will be able to use on straight talk and if so do i need a tmobile compatible sim card only? or will i need to unlock phone an use a unlocked gsm sim card in order for it to work? thanks in advance for any help
SO can I use the Sim card slot for an GSM Carrier? with maybe a Mod? Not sure if I can since its I think one of the first LTE phones that Verizon got. YES I know Verizon is CDMA but phones like the S3, and S4 I pop my AT&T sim in and it works 100%,
It won't work on the Charge. There have been no successful carrier changes for the Charge.

Can CDMA phones (such as for verizon) be activated, then SIM card transferred to another phone then activate the phone again with a different SIM from a different carrier or does the ESN for the physical phone get registered to the carrier and will only work with that carrier's SIM?
Basically, I want to activate a BYOD phone for Xfinity that they won't activate because they don't support it but I know the phone will work so I was going to buy a used Samsung S8, activate the SIM, transfer to the other phone then resell the S8.

You might be able to do part of that. If you use a Verizon device to activate a SIM, in theory, you could transfer the SIM to a different device to activate that device on your Verizon account. But you would not be able to activate the Verizon device with a SIM from another carrier unless the Verizon device has been carrier unlocked, otherwise, it is locked to Verizon only and will only work with a Verizon SIM on the Verizon network.
To do what you are doing, you could get an unlocked phone that is supported by Xfinity, then activate that device with a Xfinity SIM then put the SIM from that device in the device that you are trying to activate. After you're set, sell the dummy device that you used to activate the Xfinity account/service/SIM.
