So, I'm thinking about getting the Nexus 6P, however, I have a contract with Verizon. Can anyone confirm that a Verizon Sim card would work on the Nexus 6P? If I were to take my Sim card out of my iPhone 5C and plop it into the Nexus, would it work?

It will most definitely work, that's exactly what I did with my old G3. Turn off the 5C, pop the SIM card out, pop it into the 6P, turn the 6P on. No need to call VZW or anything (which is a huge bonus ;p)

That's great!

As long as it's a Nano SIM, no cutting.

Correct, the 5C takes a nano SIM so no cutting will be needed.

I want to remove the SIM card from my still working Infuse and put it in my s3. The problems is that sim card in the new S3 is about half the size as the older standard Sim card. Do I have to go to the ATT store and have them program a new sim card that fits my S3 with my new number?

They should. They may charge you the $36 'activation fee' for the new SIM.
I'm fairly certain you need a new SIM due to the GS3 being LTE, and the Infuse being HSPA+.
I just made the switch, myself, this morning...from Infuse. What a difference!!!
32gbps speeds here in NYC.

The only places that will charge you for a new sim are "authorized" sales channels, not corporate owned AT&T stores. Go into ANY corporate AT&T store and you'll have a working SIM in a few minutes, no questions asked, free of charge. They'll probably ask to play with your phone or try to sell you accessories though.

Just got the N4 so I have a Nano SIM adapter but I get NO data when I put the Nano SIM in the N4, I think I need to be on Smartphone LTE, but once I get that changed will I be able to go back to the iPhone 5 and still have the Data working?
Thanks

Try changing your apn
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!
Does anyone know for certain if Verizon will activate my Nexus 6p since it has an unlocked bootloader? I'd prefer not to have to lock it back up to have it activated. I wish I had a SIM from a previous phone but I do not. I want to do the prepaid Verizon service. Project Fi is not working out for me
Thanks

There's no activation that Verizon needs to do. Just pop-in a SIM and you're good to go. I would advise double checking APN settings as I did have some weird issues with MMS not sending.
Using the APN settings here resolved it.

No, it does not matter what state your bootloader is in when you activate new service, prepaid or not Unfortunately you will have to go to a VZW store to get a new service but they should be able to activate there. When the N6 was brand new like a year ago you couldn't get new service but I believe you can now.

thanks. would have never thought to check APN settings. Where can you get a nano SIM? Sounds like I have to go buy one/get one from Verizon?
Another question...I went to Verizon online and put in my IMEI and it told me it wasn't valid. The phone is currently active on Project Fi....would that be the reason the IMEI would show as invalid?

If you have an existing (and activated) Verizon sim you can trim it to fit the nano size holder. That's what I did with my micro? size sim.

They might not cooperate if it is not in their system yet. Do you have any old VZW phone that you can activate service on, or someone you know that you could borrow? Nano SIM size is best like Ifone or if it's a micro size you can easily cut it down.
The store is pretty ymmv, I know a guy who works there so I took my wife's old iPhone 5S, had him give me a new micro SIM, activated her phone on my line, then popped it in my 6P, and MONEY =D

I have a unlocked s7 edge from t mobile. I wanted to use it on sprint. But to be honest I can seem to get it to register. Plus my micro sim needs to be cut to nano sim. If i cut my sim card will i be able to use sprint service?
Nope.

No. You would need a new SIM card from Sprint.

Sprint links the SIM card to the IMEI of the phone. Unlike [unlocked] GSM phones, you can't just swap SIM cards and go. You would have to get Sprint to unlock the phone first, which they'll only do once you've paid it off.

Sprint doesn't allow you to bring devices from other carriers. And the sim card is married to the meid of the phone which the tmobile version only has an imei .
