The only speeds you'll be able to pick up on T-Mobile with the One X will be Edge. Since the One X doesn't have T-Mobiles 3G data bands. Unless you are some on the few lucky cities that has the newly updated T-Mobile towers with the same 3G bands as AT&T.

Is there a way to check where the new updated bands are? Also is there any version of the one x at all that gets at least T-Mobile 3g?

As far as I've heard there are a few cities in California that have been upgraded there might be a thread on here about I know tmobile plans on having the upgrade completely finished by early 2013, and as for OneXs being compatible some are saying that the OneXL is compatible with T-Mobiles 700/1900 AWS band but it will take some configuring with the radio for it to work.

Heads up if you are currently using the HTC One X on TMO but are considering switching to Straight Talk.

I just purchased their $45 plan plus paid the $15 for the ATT Micro SIM and am not able to get connected to Straight Talk. As others have mentioned, their CS does not know what they are doing, i.e.: The CS rep told me he needed to transfer me to the correct department and I asked what department that was and his comment was "our Department that handles ATT Micro SIM issues using a Non Straight Talk phone"

So if you are considering this don't cancel your TMO account immediately...

Good luck...oh and by the way, this phone is SWEEEEEEEEET!!!

Nope the global one won't get tmobile speeds cause it only have the upload band for tmobiles 4G and not the download for it to work on tmobile it has to have the 1700/2100 AWS band. And the main difference band wise on the the international version and AT&T XL is that the international lacks a LTE card.

Wow - this sucks.

What band are they using?

My One X Supports
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100

    my Titan worked just fine, i didn't have to buy a extra data plan for it. so the only way it would work if i buy a separate data package?

    What? The phone DOES NOT have the necessary radio bands to get 3G on T-Mobile in the US. It never will have them. If you want 3G on T-Mobile in the US you need a hotspot, or to be in a few areas in California/Colorado that have 1900mhz as the 3G frequency. Everywhere else you will ONLY get 2G.

    Does anybody have an unlocked One X and using it on T-Mobile? If so are you having problems with the SIM card saying No SIM Card Found? My One X will not read my SIM card. Weird thing is, it says I'm connected to T-Mobile in the status bar and gives me voice service but will not give me data service. I tried to manually put in the APN Settings and it won't save them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You need an older T-Mobile sim card. It is called a Non-GBA sim card. It comes with the older 21mbps hotspots as well as the Lumia 710. I had this same issue and the store I went to had no idea wtf I was talking about. I was buying a hotspot as well at the time so I tried the sim that came with it and it was one of the older ones, and it lets me access 2G.

    The numbers on the front of the sim read 50.01.

    The card that you cut the sim out from does NOT have people on it. Look around at a few stores, and if you have to ask for the hotspot that gets 21mbps and try if you can have them give you the sim from the box.
