? At&t and nexus 4 question.

When purchasing an unlocked phone such as this one, do I just need to swap my sim to the nexus 4 and off I go? I am currently an android user and my device uses a microsim. Does this device use a microsim as well? Thanks for the help.

once you get the phone just put your current sim in you are good to go. and yes its using micro sim so you don't have to worry at all.

Sim or Micro Sim?

I can't find a clear answer on this, does the nexus 4 use both a standard sim card, a micro sim card, or does it support both?
Thanks in advance

Nexus 4 is micro SIM.

Thank you. Does every carrier have micro sim cards? Currently I only have a regular sim card and am not sure if Fido has micro sims.

I think they all do, yeah. Just give them a call and they'll be able to let you know

I currently have an LG Optimus one with a normal size sim. When I get the Nexus 4 I plan on cutting the sim to micro sim dimensions then sticking it in my new device. Will it work instantly with my existing plan from my Optimus one?

Mine didn't when I moved to the ONE X
So, I jumped on amazon and bought myself a noosy micro SIM cutter.
Worked a treat

Thanks. I just checked fidos website. They do have micro sims. They even have a dual format (micro sim + regular) so I can use my existing captivate as a backup still.

That's a shame, its fun cutting your own.
You go from scared and worried, to really happy and impressed in a few seconds lol
Its a strange old feeling. Haha

Lol yes. If I had to I would try cutting it, but that would mean I couldn't use my cappy as a backup afterwards. Definitely glad fido has the dual sim card option for that reason.

I'm on O2 UK with a full-size SIM. Do you think I could just ask them to give me a micro-SIM?

SIM
The phone has a micro-sim and if you cant get hold of a micro then the only decision is to cut it yourself. The sim still works equally well!

Or just ask your carrier for a new sim. Cutters are fun but why not get a new doggie

I had an iPhone 4 so I had to cut my Sim card but when I moved to HTC Inspire 4G then I still had the extra pieces so i fitted them in the device. Now when I will get Nexus 4, I can simply use the Micro Sim and keep those pieces to a safe place

I'm on T-Mobile UK and when I asked they said it would cost me £10. I tried to cut my own, but the chip is huge! What I did was ring them up and they were able to credit me the money to my next bill. Give that a try...I'm not saying it will work, but its worth a try.

T-mobile charged you £10? I'm with three, and I just walked into my local store a few months back and they exchanged it for me for free.

Don't quote me on it but if your carrier supports any phones that require a micro sim, then yes

Yeah, they call is an "admin fee"...not sure why. All the guy did was get a new SIM, scan it in and then enter in my phone number and details. If I hadn't got my money back I wouldn't have been too happy about it.

AT&T gave me one for free as well..

Nice! I'll be ordering 2 tonight in prep for new phones! (They all seem to be going to micro sim for some reason... (I prefer mini SIM, the "standard")).
PROMO STILL VALID AS OF THIS WRITING!

I tried it wouldn't let me order

Do you need to be a t mobile customer to order this? I'm at the checkout screen and it seems like it says it will "add this to my monthly bill"

Just ordered a standard SIM and a micro SIM for other compatible devices I have. There is a limit of 2. You need to provide your name, address, primary phone number, and a credit card for verification, but you don't have to pick a plan or buy anything else, so there is no charge.
I'm not a T-MOBILE client.

Confirmed, got the sims a few days ago. They came in a Ziploc bag. :laugh:
I used a Visa gift card because I didn't want to input my real credit card information.

This deal is now off.

Not sure what the deal is/was. Whenever I need a Sim card I just walk into a store and ask for 1. Every time they have just handed me 1...no questions asked. I think I've gotten 5 total this way and at 3 different stores.

Were they corporate stores or 3rd party multi-carrier locations? Most corporate stores I've run across are pretty chill, I know if I upgrade phones and need a new SIM, they'll give and activate it for me for free, only because the phone comes with one, but the time I did set up with my own phone, just handed me a SIM card, no charge, then activated it.

it will obviously be Micro sim, no latest high end phones use normal sim cards.
all use micro sims or nano sims (eg: iphone 5)..:good:

Normal sim, was just on the phone to o2 and asked the same thing so yeah normal sim
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

normal sim

My network told me it was smaller, hence they're sending me a new one for when the phone arrives.

getting conflict answers.. guess we will have to wait to find out.

Even the various reviewing websites state it's a micro sim.

Micro Sim (i have i9505 and that one is micro sim)

Definitely micro sim. Ignore o2, they are clearly as useless as they were when I was with them years ago.

I dont understand your question... while should somebody get a new sim card when he possesses it already? Its the same micro sim like S3 or iPhone 4/4S and all other devices which use micro sim. Its no NANO SIM like iPhone 5.

Maybe his telco gave him a free sim

I actually had the same concern because mine came with another micro SIM.
As far as I could tell, I think it's the same one that came with the s3

Well, I meant maybe the new card is something to do with the new LTE, but again not sure.
I am still using my s3 sim for now. Will see..
