I believe the new verizon phones must be global so yes it should work.. my dna is global and that was a verizon exclusive so I do not see why the one would not be.

Cool gonna pick up one tomorrow return s4,horrible reception bye bye Sammy hello htc!!! Don't let me down!
Don't they use different bands? And one is GSM one is CDMA?
Um... what? Why bother getting the Verizon variant of the One if you're going to be using it on AT&T's network? Yes, it'll work because all of Verizon's new smartphones are unlocked and support GSM, but... why?
Just buy the AT&T variant. Same thing, plus you'll have working FM radio and LTE support on AT&T and T-Mobile if you want it in the future.

TMK, it should work. If memory serves, the Verizon HTC One is just a standard global HTC One with Verizon's customizations. Now, having said that, Verizon has been known to disable\completely remove\block the GSM functionality of global phones in the past when they release a version for their network(Droid Bionic, Droid RAZR, ect..) so it's entirely possible that, while the phone is physically capable of operating outside Verizon's network, that Verizon has blocked it from doing so.

I don't think they are allowed to do this anymore. My dna is a fully global phone and works with a sim out of the box

You are correct. Verizon is required to have all global-capable phones unlocked out of the box. This is why the Verizon iPhone 5 was such a magnet for fraud.
I have a Verizon HTC One M8 and I have AT&T. I can get it to pick up service but for the life of me it will not pick up HSPA+ or 3G. So far I have only been able to get it running on Edge which obviously is unacceptable. Verizon phones can be such a pain in the ass. Anyone have any suggestions?

Buy an att phone? I hear that will help with picking up att cell bands.

Don't know why people buy Verizon phones for use on att. Are they that much cheaper?

I didn't buy the phone to use on AT&T. It just so happened it fell into my lap and I wanted to play around with it for a bit but unfortunately I can't get it to pick up 3G. But thanks for your witty responses guys. Much appreciated. What happened to people who actually came on this site to offer valuable input?

In all fairness you are asking about the HTC one m8 and this is a thread for the m7 so if you wanna try and get a real response you might want to check out the Verizon m8 forums not the m7. This subject has been been brought up before for the m7 and its not possible. The m8 on the other hand once again is a different phone. I know they have had success getting lte and all that working for our phone to T-Mobile.

It wasn't a witty response. Was a real actual question. I see so many threads of people buying Verizon phones and try to make them fully work on gsm networks. Just because it says global phone doesn't mean every part of the phone will work on gsm networks. So that's why I asked is the Verizon version cheaper than its gsm counterparts.

Yes, it works fine with HSPA+. For LTE, it could connect with LTE, but my situation is I can't make phone calls and text messages under LTE. Hope this would help.
The Verizon HTC One will work on any network, I can't speak for bands/speeds.
I'm in New Zealand, I brought my VZW One with me, works like a charm on all of their GSM networks here.
I am on net10 using AT&T's network. I picked up the at&t m8 full price retail but I am thinking about returning it for the unlocked version or verizon version on HTCs website. I hate all this AT&T bloatware and plan to use it on other carriers or resell it when the next wave of flagships come along. But I have some questions about the capabilities of the different versions I was hoping you gurus could help me with.
1) Factory Unlocked M8 : I am unsure of the Root status and which carrier tree this would fall under and also AT&T LTE Support.
2) Verizon M8: I read that phone doesn't support AT&T LTE and only HSPA+? I also read that this phone will be entered into verizon's database so it would be more valuable resell down the road as you could use it with verizon or at&t? ( i have never been a verizon customer so don't know the benefit or process for bringing your own phone)
Thanks for your feedback!
Dev unlock and flash what ever ROM you need. I have t mobile with s-off and super Cid. I am using stock GPE ROM. No complaints

After years of having Samsung phones I could take no more. They are now awful. Locking down their phones and TW is so bad. I just ordered my new HTC M8 developer edition for AT&T. I can't wait. A bit pricey, but no-contract/unlocked phones are the way to go. After years of rooting my Samsung phones, I actually have no desire to root my new M8; however, its nice to know that my bootloader is unlocked if I decide to go that route.
So - anyone of you using the developer edition on AT&T in the states? How is it? Does it require the input of AT&T's APN for LTE. Is LTE reception good?
Would love to hear more from those who recently abandoned Samsung.

Hi I'm using the unlocked version (it has the same radios as the developer editions). I am on Cricket (AT&T's pre pay service) and LTE is fantastic. Works out of the box as advertised.
I am in the San Diego area...
Hope this helps.

Thanks. Cricket is GSM based now? So your using band 17 for LTE?
Yes the New Cricket is all GSM, and uses all the AT&T towers for LTE, 3G and under. It is like getting AT&T without a contract, and for a lot less. I got my nano simm online from their web site, you avoid a 25$ activation fee a store will charge.
I'm trying to get my Verizon HTC One on Tmobile and with 4g or HSPA+. I'm s-off, supercid, and running NuSenseSeven. Now as far as supercid, all I've done is write "11111111" to the cid section in fastboot. Could I flash a non verizon RUU in order to get 4g or HSPA+? Also, I've tried doing this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/general/lte-band-7-2600mhz-finally-guide-t2992523 but this only allows me to write to the 9k port and not the regular diag port for some reason, and still no change. Is there any way to do this???
Sadly, it will never get 4G as this phone doesn't have the hardware capable of AWS or HSPA+. You would only get HSPA in international countries that support the two GSM bands this phone supports. This is most likely the reason the Verizon Variant took so long to release. Verizon forced HTC to burn out the FM radio. There may have been other "special requests".

Verizon is going to let me choose between an unlocked phone and developer model phone. Which one should I choose? (in terms of ROM support, ease up update access, root...etc)
Nevermind, its unlocked version only. I get to try the phone out and see if it is still plagued by the blurry, color/light bleed/auto focus issue or not. If it is, they will let me get a Note 4

How is that going to work the dev and unlocked m9's are supposed to be gsm only meaning no cdma ? And the LTE bands for verizon are not supposed to be enabled on the non verizon versions of the m9 ?
Actually all the verizon m9's are unlocked because verizon does not sim lock phones any more they just lock the bootloaders and wont let htc dev unlock them.

Technically, All newer phones have both GSM and CDMA radios. The Qualcomm chips (from what I read) have both radios in them already. My dad has a GS4 (CDMA) and is on a GSM network in Israel. So, saying this, it only makes sense that it should be able to work. It's just weird
Ima tearing a new butthole into Verizon because of all the bullcrap they've told me (I don't know enough about the unlocked models), so you could probably count this as more crap. However, they did also offer a Galaxy Note 4 at a discount (on edge). If I get that for a total of 650 (instead of $600 for M9) or $600, should I? I love the M9's speakers with a strong passion, but I do like the bigger screen and higher resolution...let alone the better camera...I read into mods and of course with Knox and all..I dunno about root.

Ok so lets say all of them have cdma built in and your right, so then how do you get the bands enabled for verizon LTE on a gsm m9 such as the unlocked m9 sold by htc directly ?
The posts about this on the m8 all required s-off to enable other bands such as enable the bands on a verizon m8 to get Tmobile LTE and then people still had issues having to toggle airplane mode all the time to get the Tmobile LTE back working on their verizon m8.
I had tried and tried to convert my verizon m8 to a dev edition like people did on the gsm versions which they all could but no one ever figured out how to get it done.
So my ultimate question is how would they get verizon LTE bands enabled on a gsm based carrier unlocked m9 that is not s-off ?

Oh and tear into verizon all you like bro let me help with that lol as I hate them as much as you do.
And I think the sammys have the bands enabled for basically all LTE in all the major carriers like the nexus 6 so they can run on any network.
I think they should require all phones to work on any network just like the nexus 6 so one version can work on any network, I guess we can dream right that would be my only complaint with htc that they dont enable the bands for all networks here in the USA.

1. You are probably right about the T-Mobile thing, but it IS T-mobile. I don't even think they, or sprint can keep up with the big boys. So If I got the GSM unlocked...and did the paypal buy over a year option, I wouldn't re-activate on Verizon for quite a while. I plan on going to Israel so I don't need a CDMA device for a while...Even so, the M9 has the bands for all of the networks, last time I checked. Saying that, I will already have S-OFF because it would be a dev edition, or the unlocked version that I would just S-OFF through HTC Dev. Saying ALL of this, even if I do come back to USA and CAN'T be on Verizon (whom I think is better then ATT), then I could go ATT. Ya know? That is IF I came back to the USA. So what do you think now? (With more information about the situation).
