First off, I am a current VZW customer switching from a Note 4 to the Nexus 6p and so far I'm having some trouble.
So I just left a local Verizon authorized dealer (not VZW corporate store) where the sales rep assured me repeatedly that my new 6P will NOT work on Verizon's network. Saying it has something to do with the specific bandwidth of the VZW network... Idk the networking side of things is completely foreign to me. He even went as far as to refer me to other carriers, saying the Cricket store right next door would activate it for me.
I left dissapointed, but called VZW customer support as I sat in the parking lot. The girl I talked to had absolutely no problem sending me a new nano Sim card for my 6P.. However, with as easy and smoothly as it went, I'm hoping the sim will already be activated to my account when it arrives.
But on the chance that it is not, am I correct in believing that as long as I can get a hold of ANY nano sim phone I can take that into VZW and have them activate the card for me?

You could have cut the one from the Note down and been up and running in minutes.
Yeah.. I considered it.. Honestly as I'm now sitting here with the new phone in my hand and no Sim I still may.
Of course I don't have a cutting tool and I'm bad at small precision stuff lol i can barely handle a screen protector application.

The Nexus 6P works beautifully on Verizon. That guy is as full of $h1+ as a Thanksgiving turkey. Once you get that nano SIM from VZW, call VZW, tell them you want to replace that Note 4 with your own device. Give them your IMEI and SIM card numbers, and you'll be all set. Put the SIM into your 6P and you're rocking and rolling

That verizon rep is either clueless or a liar. I bought a sim cutter off amazon and cut my Verizon Note 4 sim down. Took 30 seconds from start to finish and worked immediately.
Alternatively, I couldn't cut my wife's note 3 sim down to a nano for her new Moto X Pure so we went to a Verizon Authorized reseller and asked them to activate a nano sim for us. The guy was super nice and said he could do it but they had to charge $20. He said the Verizon corporate store would do it for free...I opted to pay the $20 to not deal with actual Verizon employees.
I sort of wish Verizon's network wasn't so good..their client service is so bad.

Nope. The Nexus 6P is in Verizon's database as a Huawei H1511. That's how it'll show up on your account.

I came from Verizon Note 4 as well. I just walked into my local Verizon Corporate Store and he activated a nano sim for me right there. Probably took 10 mins and I walked out with the 6P activated. If the nano doesn't come activated, I'd call verizon or take it to a corporate store instead of an authorized dealer.
Wish I had just gone into the corporate store at this point.. Seems that has been pretty successful for most. Oh well, nano sim will be here tomorrow and I'll be sure to go back in and prove to that rep that he was wrong.. He VERY clearly informed me

Authorized retailers are the worst. These guys are 3rd party companies who just resell Verizon's services. They always want to push you to buy a branded phone instead of bringing your own, and they often charge higher prices for devices than corporate stores. Also a lot of them charge "programming fees" of $15 or $20 on top of traditional activation fees if you're doing a new line. Many also charge for SIM cards, anywhere from $20 to $30 whereas corporate stores will give them to you for free. Authorized retailers are a racket and should only be used if absolutely necessary. Verizon corporate stores generally offer a great customer experience in my dealings with them.

A sim cutter would have saved you a lot of issues. I popped my nano out of my Droid Maxx, put it into the 6p and it was good to go. The only thing "not compatible" on the 6p for verizon is visual voice mail.

Is there a way to tell the difference between a T-Mobile USA Nexus 4 sold by T-Mobile vs one that was sold directly from Google or someone else? I'm looking to buy a used Nexus 4 but with the latest trend of people buying phones from T-Mobile on payment plans and not paying then T-Mobile blocking the IMEI I'd prefer a used phone that was bought directly from Google and not from T-Mobile.
Any way to tell based on SKU, serial #? Thanks...
I can't answer your question about telling the difference, but when I sold a sprint phone on craigslist the guy wanted to meet up at a sprint store and make sure everything was in the up and up.
Maybe you could arrange a meet up at a t-mobile store

they are exactly the same, from tmobile and the play store. theres nothing differing between the phones. the only thing different is where you buy it. tmobile could block the imei if you bought it from the play store too, if they had reason. when your phone goes onto the tmobile network, the imei number registers.
The T-Mobile Nexus 4 is the exact same phone as the phone purchased through the play store... They are both Unlocked and can be used on any gsm network... I would guess the only difference is that T-mobile can block the IMEI from being used on their network.. So if you buy one I would check with T-mobile and verify the IMEI or serial number with them to see if it is purchase through them... Same with the google phone.. I would think you could verify the IMEI through them
It's the same phone. However, T-Mobile only sells the 16gb model.
I'd actually say it is safer to buy a tmo model and check in store that there are no negative marks on the account before purchasing, with a google play model you can try calling ATT/Tmo to check the IMEI but who knows how long it takes for a stolen phone to show up in the database.
Buy it directly from Google play store. It's cheaper than tmobile.
Buying from a person doesn't fulfill your warranty either. Warranty is for the person who bought the device (there are ways around it but it's not worth the risk). No difference between tmo and the one from play store except tmo only offers 16gb whereas play store offers 8 and 16

Thanks all! I'm looking at the 8GB one so I guess that won't be from T-Mobile...they told me IMEI was not blocked on their end (at this point at least) and I'll check with AT&T...I think for any provider to block it if the phone was purchased from elsewhere other than the carrier someone would have to report it stolen but I'm looking to buy one off ebay so I should have documentation if anything happened?
My main concern was it gets blocked for someone not making their payments if they bought it right from T-Mobile...but I suppose one could report it stolen and if they have insurance they could get another phone and the one they sold would get blocked?

If they bought the phone from T Mobile then it wouldn't be the 8GB version. T Mobile ONLY OFFERS the 16GB variant.
Like I said before, I recommend that you do not buy it from any random user off of eBay or Craigslist. I've seen posts on the N4 forum where someone bought from Craigslist in person and then BAM! a couple weeks later, their phone was IMEI blacklisted and they just put down +$200 on a phone that is now a brick when it comes to having any cellular connectivity.
Only Play Store or through a friend/family member that you can trust are the viable sources I would go for when it comes to buying a phone from a third-party. Play Store is the safest way on getting your device.

T Mobile Nexus 4 is carrier unlocked. Its not worth getting from T-Mobile. Their new plan, you still end up paying more for the Nexus 4 when compared to getting it from the Google Play Store.

Lets do the math:
http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/Phones/cell-phone-detail.aspx?cell-phone=Nexus-4
Down Payment:$ 49.99
Monthly Payment: +$17.00 for 24 months

T-Mobile (2 Year): $49.99 + $17 * 24 months = $457.99 (end of 24 months)
Google Play Store (Unlocked): $299.99 (8GB), $349.99 (16GB) not incl. taxes & shipping. Depending on where you will live 16GB will round out to be ~$405 or so (most likely less in other states as I live in NY and it was $405ish for me). You save yourself ~$60+ T Mobile N4 is a scam.
i got mine from Google, it's the ONLY way to go unless you need to pay for it month to month. Which I understand too.
I got mine for 199 from T-Mobile so that's why I got it from them (I paid for it up front, I don't do the installment payments). That's better then 349 at Google. But I had to use my upgrade. I'm glad I did cause now I don't have any upgrades anymore since the new plans kicked in. I'm on a classic 1000 min plan.

You said you used your upgrade, so you paid subsidized price. Which is absurd. $200 subsidized is the same for both the Nexus 4, HTC One, and Galaxy S4. While full price for the HTC and Samsung is around 600, while the Nexus is $299... And T-Mobile rips you off. It's cheaper from Google Play. I thought T-Mobile was trying to "change the game". Stop with the carrier bull****..
Let's think this through, Tmobile only blacklists IMEI's in 2 instances
1) The phone was insured, and reported lost/stolen.
- You can only insure the phone if it was purchased through tmobile. Anything purchased from the playstore is uninsurable
2) You are on a payment plan FOR THE PHONE and it is not being paid.
- For playstore the phone is purchased outright. There is no payment plan. The only way to have a payment plan is if you purchased the phone from tmobile.
If the phone was purchased via playstore, and the TMOBILE phone plan was not being paid, they would just suspend your account, but NOT blacklist your phone.
That said, if you can guarantee that the original owner purchased from the playstore (receipt with IMEI?) then you should be safe.
Does Tmobile only provide the black version? Maybe purchasing a white 16GB guarantees that it's from the playstore?
I lost my SIM card of my S4.
I need the sim card in order to get 4G LTE, does any one know where I might be able to get one?

Any Sprint Service and Repair center should have replacement UICC/SIM. There is a $50 fee to replace a lost/stolen SIM.

50 bucks to replace a sim?! That's ridiculous! I don't know if gsm carriers charge for sim replacements but fifty dollars is robbery! I don't care what the excuse is, if they did charge 50 dollars for a replacement sim, 99.9% of that price is pure profit. I can't imagine a reasonable replacement price for a card being more than five dollars at the most.
It's probably $15 for the SIM and $35 activation charge. They will argue that there was absolutely no reason to remove the SIM in the first place.

Isn't that like the double jeopardy law? You can't be charged again for a phone to be activated that has already been activated. If it was charged for activation, but the activation process didn't complete 100%, then how can they charge you again? Also, if a phone ESN has been activated, then the phone is known to the network. Just because a Sim is replaced, doesn't change the ESN. If they were trying to double charge you, then I'd go midevil on their collective butts.

I guess I got lucky. I got my S4 off eBay and it did not come with the SIM so I called and they are sending me one. They did not say anything about a $50 charge. Hopefully it does not just mysteriously show up on my bill.
A bit related (maybe unrelated) but I bought a used iPhone 5 that didn't come with a SIM, went to a Sprint store and they were going to charge me $50 for one. I let a tear or two roll down my big eyes and the manager took pity on me and my sob story and let me have one, just this one time.
I guess if you plead your case genuinely and they're compassionate enough you might be in luck.

T-Mobile's Nexus 6 is totally unlocked, would be the same as buying from the Play Store except only T-mobile would have the IMEI (so theoretically you will not be able to get a new Verizon SIM as Verizon will not add non-Verizon IMEIs to their database).

I bought my nexus 6 from amazon in April. I emailed customer service and was able to get them to price match. At first they denied my request stating that Amazon doesn't price match. But if u are persistent they will refund u the difference.
T-Mobile bloatware
I would buy this to use with my StraightTalk SIM.
Do the T-Mobile versions (even full retail price) have the usual carrier drawbacks - T-Mo bloatware, long wait for firmware updates, etc - relative to the non-carrier version? I've used custom ROMS with other phones in the past, but would like to keep this stock if possible.
After having a chat with a CS rep, they said I have to return the phone, to reprocess the order, and re-buy a new phone to get the promotional $100 off..... smells fishy to me
On top of that there's the $50 restocking fee, so I'd only net $50 for what should simply be a $100 price adjustment/account credit. Should I try reaching out to T-Force? Why does life always have to be so hard? Do I have to be an asshole???

I purchased my Nexus 6 64GB from Amazon about 2 weeks ago for $734. I took me a few tries but I finally got through to the correct department for Cell Phone price match and got them to price match T-Mobile at $599. You just need to be persistent.

From what T-Mobile said to me, we need to return the phone and re-ring the transaction to get the $100 promo price. And then we pay $50 restocking fee even though we are keeping our own phones..... If you find out otherwise krozu, lemme know.

What you can do is call them and claim you're going out overseas and will need your phone unlocked. Usually they will unlock your phone, from prior experience.
Well I bit the bullet and just signed up for a T Mobile for one month and paid in full for the S7 Edge , got free VR, 6 games and a year of Netflix. I will give T Mobile service a try, if I don,t like it. After the 40 days. I will get it unlocked and put my AT&T card in. If I like it, I will drop At&T with the rest of the family phones. Now, hoping for a root.
My girlfriends sister currently has LG G3 with Verizon. She just paid it off and the phone started to go bad. So Newegg had a good deal on 6P 499.99 64GB +free 50$ Newegg GC.
Last week I was able to get the month2month discount back for that line it was really rough,had to tell them if they don't all the lines will be gone to att,which they will sooner or later just waiting for some cell phone deals in bestbuy. Anyways I had the Moto X Pure and what would happen was the discount would fall off because the system would see the phone as unlocked with no image etc.
What's the easiest way to proceed without cutting the current LG G3 sim? I asked the rep to send me a nano sim card. I am just afraid activating a new sim card online on verizon or with rep will trigger the system to remove the discount.
Worst case scenario i'll go to a cell phone store and pay 10$ to cut the micro-sim.
Any tips?
You can go in and get a nano sim and have it activated without them modifying any account.

You mean go with the free sim card sent to any Verizon store and have them activate the sim? I can do the same thing online though. What would be the benefit of doing it in store? the problem is on Share Everything plans those greedy people at Verizon took those discounts away,unless you really try hard to get it back.
