So on the upper left hand side of my sprint htc one there appears to be a sim card slot. Is that what it is? I thought sprint phones didn't use sim cards, Is it for travelling internationally?
Also, look at post #104 for freqs that Sprint (and other models) have.
I was thinking of getting the HTC One on Sprint. I have heard conflicting reports as if this is a world phone or not. I think it supports GSM 800 and 1900 bands. I want to know if I can just pop in a SIM card from another country and use it as a unlock phone (I know I have to ask Sprint to unlock it). I am going to France this summer and wants to use the phone there. Any help would be much appreciated. If it is not a world phone, I guess I have to pass up the One for now!
While I can not confirm with absolute certainty these facts, from what I've seen is that it isn't sim unlocked, but it does support the following GSM frequencies:
GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900
UMTS/HSPA: 1900/2100
According to HTC, that's the case, 2 frequencies, as the Sprint version isn't the GSM model -
HTC One Overview - HTC Smartphones
EarlyMon, so according to that page the One on Sprint should have the following:
2G/2.5G - GSM/GPRS/EDGE:
850/900/1800/1900 MHz
1900/2100 MHz with HSDPA up to 14.4 Mbps
3G - CDMA:
800/1900 MHz for Sprint
LTE
1900 MHz
I guess this is correct since the 2G/2.5G did not specified that is is specific to a particular handset or company?
ok, so I'm thorough confuse by this phone. Sprint keeps telling me it is a world phone yet cannot tell me the frequency this thing have....
That last column with the Sprint model shows only two GSM bands and the CDMA and LTE for sprint. The GSM is for data I believe. How then will it make phone call if it is a world phone unless it has the other bands....
Thanks everyone for trying to shed light on this puzzle for me.
