Can I put a T-Mobile(USA) prepaid GSM SIM card in the Rezound

and use their prepaid $2 per day unlimited talk and 2G data plan?

(within the continental U.S. only)

Thanks!

You can Talk and 2G Data on US T-Mobile with IIIBoredIII Rom (Evita Based One) / Joel EVITA Rom right out of the box. You DONT even need to change APN in order to get DATA to WORK .

Tested and Confirmed. (I'm in Seattle, WA by the way but I think It will work anywhere in the US)
[HTC Rezound] briankariu:
uuuuh joelz u r the man! Was running out of patience and I was actually thinking of learning how to develop ROMS...either way am still going to learn since iI already made up my mind...

funny that Joelz is the only dev who is actually interested in this...

Joelz! Didn't think I'd ever see you on this thread. Looking forward to what you've got in store for us :D

Hey, I've got a Rezound and am going to vacation (or holiday as you would say) in the UK. Any idea if only Tmobile sim cards work or would another carrier like Orange work as well? Thanks for all the hard work put into this.

Ok...

Data works...ON ALL ROMS (unless specified by the Developer).

Using the keypad during a call doesn't work...ON ANY ROM.

Do you have to be rooted? Does it work on stock Rezound? I'm going on a vacation, can I use this phone there with local sim card? I don't even need sms, but do want internet.

Do I have to be rooted to use this phone with GSM sim card?
[HTC Rezound] SmithO77:

[HTC Rezound] Kiersten_Kress:
so I must have a custom rom in order for data to work? Is there a way for 2G data to work on a unmodified Rezound?

which setting should I select? GSM or WCDMA?

I currently have a T-mobile prepaid card in it and voice works perfectly.(obviously :D )

Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] jimbo.levy:
No. Stock will work too. GSM is 2G. WCDMA is 3G/HSPA.
[HTC Rezound] Mooselips:
So, I won't have a problem using my STOCK Rezound with a GSM sim card for voice and data? Just stick it in there, and it will all just work no problem? Please, reconfirm. I'm leaving soon.
[HTC Rezound] Kiersten_Kress:
thanks.... I'd appreciate a little help point me to the right thread to make 2G data work on T-Mobile USA on a stock Rezound.

I've just spent the last hour reading dozens of threads and still couldn't make data work. :(
[HTC Rezound] Abu-7abash:
All you two gotta do is dial *#*#4636#*#* then from the phone info pick gsm only and you're good to go.

No rooting nor modding is required. Though on a sense 4 rom you get rid of the annoying "unkown sim" on the lockscreen.
[HTC Rezound] Mooselips:
OK, thanks. This is great news. Hope it will be that easy. :thumbup:

I have no problems with voice. However, I'm still getting no data from T-Mobile USA. :(
[HTC Rezound] Mooselips:
I tried AT&T sim, voice works, but no data. I got the APN from HTC Vivid on AT&T, created a new profile. As soon as I put MCC and MNC, the new APN I created disappears. Wired... I can create one and save it, it will be there, available to switch to. But only if I didn't change the mcc and mnc fields. If I go in and edit those 2 fields, save, and poof... that profile is gone. What's happening?

[HTC Rezound] plcline:
T-mobile, voice, worked for me as well. Setup APN for TMO but no dice. I could be very wrong but doesn't TMO use 1700Mhz for 3G data? So maybe no 1700 support. Curious if APN set up for AT&T would work over 1900Mhz.

sim unlock code from verizon

will getting the sim unlock code form vzw allow one to use the 3g at&t data???? it's clear that calls work already without the unlock code...but i'd like to be able to use data as well.

any guinea pigs out there want to call vzw and try to get the unlock code for the rezound?

Would like to have this feature when I go overseas. I'm on the Ineffabilis v1.0 rom using dsb9938 kernel for the rezound.

When I type *#*#4636#*#*, I get and error process com.android.settings stopped. I don't get the gsm/cdma/etc menu to select which type of network.

Is it the rom change causing the error message? Do I need to put it back to stock rom?

I tried putting my friends AT&T sim into my phone. I got unknown source, skipped it and went to the regular screen; but it did not pick up any carrier.

Any suggestions? Thanks.
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
Try downloading the LTE onoff app from the market to see if you can change it that way.
[HTC Rezound] dono222:
Downloaded LTE OnOff and that gave me the option to change network on the rezound. Will test out other carriers again when I get a chance and let you know.

My wife's rezound is stock and after entering *#*#4636#*#* the Testing menu showed up with more to choose from (eg. Phone Information, Battery Information, Usage statistics, and Wifi Information.)

LTE OnOff is an alternative and will allow you to get to the network selection part. Not sure why my Testing menu is not showing up compared to the stock rom though.

Thanks Marcismo55 for the quick response.
[HTC Rezound] ænyoc:
Galaxy Nexus Too?

I posted something similar about the GNex over on DroidForums under "Samsung Galaxy Nexus Forum -> Galaxy Nexus Development -> GSM options on VZW LTE/CDMA GNex?"

Searched and searched and turned up a big NO everywhere I looked... Then someone posted a link to this thread. Looks like we could be dealing with the same thing. I know this is the HTC Rezound forum. Not trying to steal the thread, I watched the forum rules. Just wanted to share that there are other devices out there that seem to share this capability. I would love to test mine, so if anyone is in San Diego has a GSM card, and wants to play around with a GNex, PM me! I'd be happy to contribute anything we find out to the thread.

Just order yourself a T-mobile prepaid SIM for $2.99. It comes with 10 minutes of free time and you can try it for yourself.

Not sure, but I think it's an online only deal. Definitely going to be more money since there is a $4 web only discount.

Just popped in a UK O2 prepaid SIM in the USA, switched to WCDMA preferred and it hopped right on Tmo and made calls fine, didn't bother with data because I'd never care about data.

Hmm, I wonder if my Korean SIM from LG Dacom would work? Too bad I will never go back to Korea, lol.
[HTC Rezound] Shahaed:
Don't quote me guys, but I've heard that LTE devices with an LTE radio is capable of picking up both GSM, and CDMA. I believe LTE radios are quad band, but are not advertised.We need someone to open there phone up and find out what kind of radio this phone has.
[HTC Rezound] nerdydesi:
I just tested this out and can confirm it works. However, I did just unlock the bootloader and root my Rezound before testing, if that makes a difference. But no unlock code was required. I simply took my brother's T-Mobile USA sim and put it in the phone, went to the LTE On/Off app and set it to "WCDMA Preferred" and it was working.

In the lock-screen, it shows T-Mobile as the carrier but also the message that the sim card is from an unknown source and only emergency calls would work. However, I was able to safely ignore that warning message. I was able to send and receive a call just fine with it. I was not able to get any data but also did not test it out too much since my brother quickly needed his sim card back. I also believe his account wasn't provisioned for data anyways since he only has a feature-phone.

I have screenshots below to prove it really works. :)

I was having trouble for it to detect a network at first, but realized I had left the battery door off to easily take out the battery and switch between sim cards. I forgot that like my Thunderbolt, the antennas are on the door, unlike with my previous Droid Charge. :o

This is very interesting news since Verizon and HTC state its not GSM capable. Maybe its a feature they put it there but decided to leave out at the last minute for quality purposes? Or maybe they will activate it later via a firmware update? I hear the Droid RAZR is also GSM capable but firmware locked.
[HTC Rezound] antispiral:
That looks promising..I'm going overseas this upcoming summer and this would surely come in handy.
[HTC Rezound] HowardZ:
I find this thread interesting - interesting enough to read all those pages.

I have no need to run my rezound on any other cell phone companys' networks, but it sounds nice to have the option. Am surprised it is not simple to do and that there are problems.

BTW, S-OFF for rezound phones does exist at "unlimited.io" (no www.)

So perhaps that will help this effort sometime in the future when solutions to problems might require S-OFF.

Howard
[HTC Rezound] alex1080:
Just checked Kyivstar [GSM 900/1800] (actually my sim card is from djuice, but it's the same) - data works out of box (OneXXX 2.1). AFAIK data also works with MTS and Life (2G gsm operators) and with Utel (3g WCDMA 2100).

BTW, sms center number is detected correctly (in phone menu) but I was unable to send sms - after pressing the Send button phone switches to CDMA/LTE mode.

The main problem with phone/ROM - I can only make calls when I enter phone number without a country code - 0-XX-YYY-YY-YY.

When I enter phone number in international format - +380-XX-YYY-YY-YY the phone converts it to 8-XX-YYY-YY-YY or if I try to dial to some another country - e.g. to Germany and enter +49-XX-YYY-YY-YY the phone converts number to 810-49-XX-YYY-YY-YY.

So I cann't do a calls :mad: (all numbers in my Google address book are entered in internation format starting from +).

Is this some Verizon dial codes? If somebody knows how to fix this (or at least replace 8 with 0 and 810 with 00) - plz let me know.
[HTC Rezound] Mooselips:
Go to settings--call--assisted dialing. Either choose a different country or turn it off alltogether.

So I'm confused, can you or can you not make phone calls? You said it worked out of the box, then you said you couldn't make calls.

Can somebody really tell me if I can make calls and use data with GSM sim and stock Rezound?

Thanks! Спасибо! I've found that I need to correct IDD/NDD prefixes. I'm wondered why HTC/Google do not know correct prefixes for Ukraine - probably they never heard about us and about euro-2012 :-(

Yeap. I had problem with + code .

I can check stock ROM with Kyivstar tomorrow if you want.
[HTC Rezound] Mooselips:
Please. That will be great. I don't want to end up without internet there. If somebody can tell me for sure that it works, then I won't buy a Note for this trip (not sure if it's a good thing ;)).

I also have a stock, completely unmodified Verizon HTC Rezound.

I can guarantee you that inbound/outbound voice calls work

100% of the time using a T-Mobile USA GSM SIM card.

(both prepaid and post-paid)

Incoming SMS text works perfectly. No outgoing SMS text.

t-mobile usa

I noticed some posts about your success with the htc rezound working with tmobile. I was wondering what the optimal settings are in order to make it pick up the signal. I have tried before but have had no luck.

Thank you!
[HTC Rezound] jimbo.levy:
Read this. It was my response to a question I got asked earlier in the thread about how I got data to work...

"Nope. When you boot the phone, do so without the SIM card in. Skip the setup procedures and then power off. Insert the SIM and power on. The activation procedure is now skipped.

As far as data is concerned, we can confirm that TIM works (see here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1523864)

To enable data is somewhat tricky. A wide variety of methods have been tried but none are 100% successful for all.

For me, to enable data, I have to move to a certain area. One of those areas is on my way to work. The 3G just initiates. I have tried this many times and have had no failures so far. At home however, if I disable my WiFi, the 3G does not start. That being said, if I have a 3G connnection, go home, enable WiFi and then disable WiFi, my 3G returns.

It only needs kick starting if I power the phone off.

Even when my network coverage blacks out, the data still returns as long as I don't power off.

As a suggestion, take 30 minutes and go for a longish walk around the area in which you live. Maybe that could help?

Good luck with your data acquiring and keep us posted.

Thanks,

Jim :)"
[HTC Rezound] graymonkey44:
This... Can't get it to work either.

Edit: I also just wanted to do the pay-by-minute... no data plan. As it was activating, it said SIM card full and said to delete some stuff with it. So I restarted the phone and haven't had any connection.
[HTC Rezound] EclipseX:

[HTC Rezound] centerwaters:

I was never able to get data to work on my Rezound. I have an unlocked GSM phone and the T-Mobile prepaid card works perfectly on it, both for regular phone calls and data. I took that SIM card out and put it in the Rezound. It's fine for voice calls but I go no data at all, even after trying every method listed in this and other threads. I even went so far as to wipe the Rezound and return it to factory default. It's running fresh, just like it came straight from the Verizon store. I do not have any roms flashed on it.

If anyone in the U.S. has managed to get data on a

completely-stock

Rezound with T-mobile prepaid card, please let me know how you did it. Thank you very much in advance for your help!

I ordered one off the t-mobile website and had to do a bunch of stuff to activate it online. I'm also on the team pkmn ROM. Would that have anything to do with it?
[HTC Rezound] HowardZ:
Perhaps custom ROMs can break the limited global capabilities in the rezound?

Maybe a developer can add to his ROM features to make the most of the global capabilities of the rezound?

Perhaps teak pkmn might be interested?

I know someone who is going on a trip to another country (forgot which country).

He purchased a Sony Ericson phone because it was relatively low cost and is a "global phone" which should work most everywhere.

walmart has many sony ericson models:

Note that these phones are GSM only, no CDMA. So check with the cell phone companies in the countries you are interested in.

Which sense 4 ROM are you using? I'm on pkmn Rom and I can't get any service with my t mobile sim.
[HTC Rezound] HowardZ:
I was just googling around and found someone explaining that S-OFF does this that and the other thing, and the list included SIM UNLOCKING.

So, someone with S-OFF might try this - just to see if things work better.

I'd imagine with S-OFF at least one shouldn't get that warning screen about the SIM card.

BTW, I am S-OFF.

I clicked on the bootloader's SIMLOCK menu item and got error messages about missing files. I probably shouldn't have clicked on it, but phone still works normally.

Maybe I'll buy that $3 T-Mobile SIM card for playing around with.

Though I really don't need to use my Rezound with other carriers - except I will likely be travelling to Israel later this year to put a headstone on my mother's grave at har hazatim. Might be nice to use an Israeli SIM card and not pay verizon roaming charges while there.
