So I just got a nexus 4 from a cousin in the US that brought it to Mexico for me, I am trying to use my microSIM from my note2 but it will not read it, my carrier here is Telcel and if I got to movile networks and search for network operators it does find mine (Telcel) but it will not read the SIM, any ideas what it could be?

I think its not fitting properly in the sim tray.
remove it and fit it properly in the tray or else I doubt you need to order another micro sim from Telcel.

yeah, i came here and asked first before doing some research and it seems that might be it :/ its a cuted sim and it seems the nexus 4 has some issues with does if they are not done properly.
I will go to telcel tomorrow, thanks.
I bought a microsim from telcel and it did not work, the phone does not recognize it, the phones from Google come sim unlocked right?

I just had to turn off then on again the phone for it to read the SIM, I did had to buy the new one but I also had to restart it xD, now everything is working fine.
Amigo! Do a duplicate in a Telcel store! Cut the sim sometimes it doesn't work!

Right now I have an Xperia Play with a regular SIM. Does the Nexus use micro or nano? and can I cut it myself or do I have to go to Rogers?

It's a micro sim. The simplest route is to purchase a micro sim from Rogers and use their client website to transfer your service to the new sim. You could cut it yourself but why bother?
I'm going to be cutting my Koodo sim into a micro sim when I get the Nexus 4. Much quicker than having to talk to someone on the phone.

I'm not specifically familiar with Koodo, but Bell, Rogers, Fido, and Telus allow you to change your sim card using their website - no need to talk to anyone. I just picked up a new Bell sim for $5 - way less hassle than cutting.

Just walk in to a Rogers store and ask to purchase a micro sim. They should be able to sell you the correct one. They also sell an "iphone 4" sim card which should work fine in andy 3G device, you'll just have to ignore the silly branding.

What's with Canadian carriers charging their customers for SIM cards?? That's crazy. I know AT&T, you walk in store ask for one and you walk out with one, simple, and its FREE.
Also this question has been answered 100 times already on these forums.

You think paying for a SIM card is bad? You should see how expensive our plans / data rates are.
WIND sells their SIM cards for $25, why are you guys whining about $5 SIM cards?

I've paid as much as $30 for a micro sim card from Rogers for an iPhone 4.
My dad just paid $9 for an LTE regular sim card on the Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE
Sorry to hijack this thread but I did a Google Search and I came to this "canadian sim card" thread.
But can someone verify if I can use my Rogers Micro Sim Card that is a voice sim card but has a 3G data plan on it work on the Nexus 7 Mobile? Because it works on iPad 1 + Data versions.
It's kinda hard to find the answer but I'm still searching.

It should. Phones are backwards compatible for sure (LTE sim in an HSPA+-only phone will just use HSPA+), but you won't get LTE/4g/HSPA+
An LTE microsim is all of $10 from rogers. They don't even offer other sims anymore

Speed test: Nexus 4 vs Samsung S3
I've been on Rogers for ages so they didn't charge me for a micro-sim for my Nexus 4 that arrived yesterday.
I've done some speed tests of the Nexus 4 against a Rogers Samsung S3 and LTE Hotspot and posted them on our blog if you're interested. I'm a new member here so I can't post outside links yet. Visit blog dot interlockit dot com

Bought my nexus 4 in Germany and now tried a swedish sim-card (telenor) but all I get is "no simcard". The exact same card works perfectly on my old sgs2.
umm, doesn't the SGS2 use a regular size SIM and not micro-SIM which the nexus 4 uses? Odds are you're probably already aware of this.
I've tried a 'foreign' SIM card and it worked fine on my phone (Etisalat from the UAE on a Canadian bought phone).
Yes it does I'm using an adapter for my sgs2 Same card though.

Perhaps the adapter is the problem, making the connection between the Sim and phone weak, etc.

he would probably use the adapter on the SGS2 and not the Nexus 4.
Best bet is always to test another SIM on your phone. I doubt it is an issue with the phone but that is probably the best way to find out.
Not really sure of what else to suggest. Like I said, I've tried SIMs from different countries in this phone and they work fine.

Yeah an adapter for the nex4 wouldn't make much sense.
I don't have another swedish sim, but my german one works without problems. Maybe I should ask a buddy.

Well I can scan for networks but wont let me join any, even the one that the sim is (Cell C)
Did you try inserting the sim when the phone is off ? When I inserted the sim, the phone was on and it would not recognize the sim even after reboot.

How do you fix your issue?
Thanks for the help?
Did you use a sim cutter or did you use scissors ?
The sim needs to be completely flush on the tray.
Remove the sim and turn off the phone. Insert it, and power it on...

Get a real micro sim. Don't use a cut down one.

I have to replace my AT&T One X+ today and am looking to get a Nexus 4 on my way home from T-Mobile, will my SIM just plug in and work? Or will I have to do anything else?
It most likely will but you may have to enter T-Mobile's APN in settings if it doesn't show up.
If your Sim is a standard size SIM then you will h ave to cut it down to a MICRO sim to fit into the Nexus 4. if its already a micro sim then you wont have a problem other than just using the tmobile APN settings.
NO. T-Mobile Nexus 4's are NOT factory unlocked. You have to buy it from Google if you're an AT&T user, and it does take micro SIMs.
Edit - OOPS. Sorry all.

that's factory "unlocked", but when i inserted my european micro-sim card in USA T-mobile Nexus 4 it woludn't accept, even some people wrote that for them worked USA T-mobile Nexus 4 in Europe, with european sim card!
I hope someone will have some good advice, to solve sim unlock for USA T-mobile Nexus 4.
Tnx!
****update
it was problem with micro-sim card and pin issue, tried with another sim card, and no problems, it's unlocked, and fixed gsm signal very fast with working micro-sim card here in Europe !
Apologize for wrong info!
I'm new to the world of GSM as I've been on Sprint for 7 years. I'm trying to understand how it works before I take a trip.
I have a Nexus 4 purchased from The play store. I'm going to France and had a family member in Paris pick up an SFR Red SIM for me to use while on the trip. Is it as simple as putting the SIM in the phone and it works, or do I need to mess with APN settings and such for everything to work?
Any tips for the travel would be great.
Thanks.
Steve

It will probably be that simple. The sim card will get recognised and the right apn settings will be applied as all major provider settings are included in your nexus 4. If for some reason that isn't the case than you can google the right apn settings.
