[Q] unlocked DROID RAZR MAXX HD works on Straight Talk's 3G network?

[yt92]

Hi there, I really like DROID RAZR MAXX HD, but I am not a Verizon user. I am sure it can be used globally outside USA. I am just wondering if I buy a unlocked DROID RAZR MAXX HD from Motorola or Verizon, is it gonna work on Straight Talk's 3G network? Someone told me yes but there was someone told me no. I am really confused now.
Thanks if you can help me. I really like this phone!

Straight Talk uses ATT‘s network, I guess if it work on ATT, then it should also work on Straight Talk

I believe unlocked Verizon phones still have domestic GSM locked being the phones software is the exact same minus the bootloader is in locked

Being that the bootloader is unlocked they is prob a fairly easy was to fix that..but out the box prob not

Can someone that has a dev x926 please try a att sim card???

Straight talk also has phones that use CDMA

Won't work. Straight Talk is basically ATT, and an ATT SIM does not work, the GSM radios in the phone are for international use only and will not transmit over ATT/TMobile towers. It might work for about 30 seconds until the phone figures out its on GSM in the US, then it'll flip to emergency calls only.

Even an international SIM card won't work because they ultimately will connect over ATT/TMobile while in the US. So, to sum it up, you can buy the VZW HD/Maxx HD and it is unlocked -- but it really only helps you when you're abroad.

Did you change the service mode from GLOBAL to GSM/UMTS only on it? In global mode the CDMA radio is active which is why it's seeing Reliance and trying to prefer it.

Got a Code from Unlocker From Motorola, But That Code is Giving Unsucessfull Message Which means it cannot be unlocked

How are you even getting to an unlock screen where a PIN is requested? The American (Verizon) version I have does not ask for any code regardless of the SIM that I put in....

Yes, it can work on Straight Talk.

I am getting a Drod Razr Maxx HD from a friend of mine. I use Straight Talk and I would love to use this phone. Was there anything special that you had to do to get it to work on Straight Talk?
Thank you,
Matt

Just GSM unlock your phone and use a AT&T straight talk card. You would have to change your APN setting but thats pretty much it.

I a new to all of this, is that hard to do? And, where do I go to unlock the GSM?

There are other methods as well, using different software tools, but the basic requirement is to make the NV edit in the radio to allow US GSM carriers.
