Unlocked International HTC One 4G/LTE Compatibility on AT&T
I am pretty sure that I know the answer to this question but still wanted to double check with fellow at&t subscribers here.
Will the International Unlocked HTC One be compatible with at&t's 4G/LTE speeds?
On eBay listings, they have this information below which makes me think it won't work with at&t's 4G/LTE
4G LTE : 800/1800/2600 MHz
3G
850/900/1900/2100 MHz
Any thoughts?

As far as I know, AT&T only uses LTE on the 700 MHz (Band 17) and 1700/2100 MHz (Band 4) frequencies. That phone doesn't have either of the bands so it won't work on AT&T's LTE service.

Hi dogan,
Thank you for your post. We can't guarantee AT&T Services will work on an unlocked device. Sorry we couldn't help you.

LTE may not work on that device using AT&T's network. On HTC's site it says this for the branded AT&T device:
GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
LTE: US (AT&T): 700/850/AWS/1900 MHz

It has been confirmed by many sources that the international unlcked version works on at&t's HSPA network but it will not work on the LTE.

I agree. It appears thst the LTE bands supported differ with AT&T's operational LTE spectrum.

Will AT&T even give you LTE access on an unlocked device!?
I bought a Sony Xperia ZL some 3 weeks ago, the verision with AT&T compatible LTE bands (C6506). I called to have my data plan upgrade to 4G - which they did. However, I still could not use the "pta" Access Point Name, and the default ones (both "phone" and "wap.cingular") of course gave me only HSPA+.
I called again, and the customer service rep told me that they could not give LTE access to unlocked phones, only to AT&T branded ones!
What gives!?

The unlocked version, not the international version, will work on AT&T's LTE network. They just need to update the IMEI to be able to provision the LTE data plan(not just 4G). You may need to set the PTA APN, and as long as you have the correct type of SIM, there's nothing preventing you from using the LTE network on a postpaid account. As far as your ZL goes, you'll have to ask an AT&T CSR to add your IMEI to the master list so the correct information can be sent to the phone.

The OP's phone will not work on AT&T LTE network if it is indeed International HTC One model ( GSM/EDGE & HSPA will work). The US unbranded model which you mention will work fine with one caveat: the account needs to be provisioned for LTE data and AT&T only does it with IMEIs from their own phone. So in order to get LTE on an unbranded phone one has to have access to an AT&T LTE device's IMEI first.
