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.

I've done it using non-us debit card for both of my N7 without a hitch. Have you tried another card? Make sure to set the country to United States. Follow the thread here somewhere and you'll be fine.

Actually, you only need VPN, credit card (a real one, no need to be US issued), and a valid US address and phone (can get this by registering HopShopGo) to get ur US$25...

Before you start using your phone, you may need to insert a micro SIM card

Thanks for answers guys, I'm sure T-Mobile will just swap them out
Micro sim is the new standard. I haven't seen a normal sim in forever.
I have a micro sim in my s3 but I'm gonna sell the phone and switch back to the g2 in the mean time. I wanna know can I reactivate my old g2 sim card? Or do I need a new one if so I could possibly keep the micro for the s3 and reactivate it for the Nexus when I get it

Once you activate a new SIM, your old one gets de-activated automatically. Which means that your old SIM is a peace of trash now as it wont be able to activate again.
Gotcha so can I just go to a tmobile store and get a micro sim for free? Or do they charge for it

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.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda app-developers app
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
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
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..

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.

Try typing your question in the thread, not as the thread topic...
If I was to order s att lte sim card and when they ask for a imei no. If I was to give them one from a regular att prepaid non smartphone could they tell that the phone wasnt a smartphone and if I could get by that if I got the prepaid $50 unlimited everything monthly you think that I could take that prepaid sim card and put it in a smartphone and get unlimited Lte data.Does anyone think this could possibly work.
