The phone is officially unlocked by Verzion. With a T mobile micro sim installed, Im able to send messages and receive phones calls and even use data. But when using data I believe im on T Mobiles 2g Edge network, as a "E" is displayed at the top of the phone for the data connection. I have set my APN to the correct T Mobile APN, but the data speed is noticeably slower than 3g and 4g I was hoping to at least be able to use T Mobiles 3g connectivity. But after searching online im aware of the fact that Verzion is CDMA and T Mobile is GSM so devices would be incompatible between the two service providers. Also isn't the Verizon HTC One M7 a global phone? On the phone in network settings, under preferred networks I have the option to select "Global" "LTE / CDMA" and "GSM / UMTS". In global mode im able to use the edge data network. In GSM / UMTS i have the options of GSM / UMTS Dual, GSM only, and UMTS only. With GSM / UMTS Dual and GSM only I connect to the edge network service and with UMTS only I get no data. I would like to be able to use atleast 3g, is this possiable? If not what other service provider could I use? Sprint and Verzion are both use CDMA networks could I use this device with Sprint? Or maybe even straight talk?
P.S. What is Edge network anyway? A "E" is displayed above the data connections symbol. Whats the point if the edge network? Its noticeably slower its 2g correct?
