According to the Gvoice blog, it's live, live live.
Same error for me.
I don't even get the link to check my phone. It shows a Sprint logo though.
Noticed the prompt this morning, still not sure if I'll make the change. Kind of like the dual number juggle myself.
im getting an error too....

if you have any type of discount you can't do it till sprint fixes there i386 lol
inorder to do it you have to contact sprint get them to remove your discount till the google sprint kicks in then get them to reapply your discount
Yeah, I'm on the phone with Sprint right now. Went to tech support, the first guy had no idea what google voice was.....then he sent me to someone else, and now I am talking to business relations because I have a employee discount.....talk about a headache!

Gahhh, screw it. I don't want to mess with sprint.
What I was planning on doing iis porting this number to another one of my gmail accounts, then I'd just use the gvoice app to keep using my current gvoice number, which I only use for texting ; I use my sprint number for calls.

It probably won't, since most of the people at Sprint probably don't even know what Google Voice is, let alone what color the Sprint logo is.
im still not clear on what the big deal is about this, it doesnt sound that great but thats just me i guess
I have an employee discount an ported my number to GVoice no problem last week.... Am I going to lose my discount or something?
Well, that was great, on the phone with 5 different people to find out that certain types of phones accounts will not work with this (pre-paid, nextel, corporate and government accounts). So, if you get a discount for being in the military, you can't do this.
Google should just buy Sprint and get into the market that way.
Anyone out there already use gv callback with sprint to home? That's what I currently use and wondering if there's any benefit (or drawback) to porting. ?

If you use your Google voice as your sprint to home number it will not work any more because your sprint number will be your GV number. Your GV number will go away after 3 months once you convert.
Hey,
I think we all knew this was possible, but I am confirming that my Nexus 6 that was purchased directly from Motorola is not white listed for activation on Sprint.
I am trying to work with Sprint for a solution, and I will update if I find anything new.
FYI, the device is a Cloud White 32gb.

Yeah, we already know that sprint white listed the phones and only activates one from GPS and their, but seeing that motorola its a manufacturer and not a carrier they should let you activate it. Keep us informed, hopefully they let you.
I received my 64GB blue version this morning from Moto. Ran into the same thing, even took it to a Sprint Corporate store. They told me I have to call motorola, I'm on the phone with Moto now.
Wow, how awful!
According to my dealing with customer service, Google Play devices and those purchased directly through Sprint are the only ones that will be eligible for activation.
I really try to stick up for Sprint most of the time.... but this is just brain dead stupid.
are you guys serious?? wow that means Verizon is going to give hell to activate these nexus 6. im on verizon.. still trying to order a 64gb from Moto.
Ok, so I have someone at Moto that is going to be reaching out to Sprint, he'll call me when he gets any updates.

Crap. This BS needs to stop. I'm wondering how on Earth it can even be legal.
I remember last year it took a while for sprint to add the GPS 32gb nexus 5 IMEIs to their system. This might be a similar issue

If Motorola doesn't get Sprint to about face on this fast, I'm demanding that they cancel my order whether they claim to be able to or not.
Claiming their phone can be purchased through them and activated anywhere only for it not to be is false advertising.
Yeah it is very frustrating. But I did finally speak to someone at Moto that understood so I'm hopeful it'll get straightened out. Though it sucks that it really in Sprint's hands to get resolved and I hope they don't take very long.

Yes. This is hopefully the same issue. If this was a big restriction then I'm not sure why they were willing to send all of us SIM cards for the device.

Are you trying to activate the phone with new service on Sprint or are you just not getting your current SIM to work?
With the Nexus 7 LTE, this happened last year at Verizon if you tried to add a new line. They didn't have the IMEIs in their system. But if you just slapped in a Verizon SIM, it worked just fine.

It is an existing line, but a new SIM (Old phone took a Micro SIM). It is my understanding that Sprint's system does not work that way, but I could be wrong.

I have not, though I will do so shortly.
So it sounds like the same problem we saw last year at Verizon. Sprint doesn't have the IMEIs yet. I bet if you chopped down your micro to a nano SIM size, stuck it in, it would work.
there is a VZW customer that recieved his order from Moto today and it worked... so VZW customers are okay it seems.

um, what? this is a crappy carrier issue, not a manufacturer issue. it's not false advertising, it's Sprint being a sh*tty company. if anything, you should look at cancelling your sprint service.

Sent off a complaint to the FCC in regard to non-vzw nexus 6 on the vzw network. Basically, I said that the CFR states that they cant prevent us from using services the way there were intended to be just becaue we are using a non-vzw device. I spoke with someone at the FCC and they said I should file the complaint becuase not allowing customers to change their account details violates the C-block CFR.
Lets see where this goes.....
It is seeming more and more that Verizon doesn't want customers. I am about to leave them but I have unlimited grandfather data so I can't.

Google and Motorola Should Be Held Accountable
Read the following article for background:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...te-one-that-wasnt-purchased-from-the-carrier/
Google and Motorola should team up and take Verizon to court over this issue. Probably won't happen, they all share the same bed.
Google and Motorola should at the very least post a warning for Nexus 6 buyers about the problems with Verizon service and non-branded Verizon devices.
My feeling is that the financial folks at Verizon are making these type of poor decisions. Verizon is just too big to be held accountable for their behavior.
Rant off ....
What's the issue? Motorola phones work on and off Vzw network, and plan changes have nothing to do with your phone. Been with VZW for 10 yrs and never had issues. I have a Mot bought Nexus 6 and works beautifully. What issues are people seeing?

This is not true.
If your devices is basically "unknown" they freeze the settings. For example my play store GPS they would not add volte to my account. Had to put my sim in a verizon nexus 6 for 5 minutes for them to make the change.

T-mobile won't unlock the phone unless it's on an Active T-Mobile account for 60, if I'm not mistaken.

you should really try TForce on twitter, but you should ask them to add the phone imei to tmobile stock. And also mention that you are traveling out of the country for more than a month, you also paid the device in full from samsung :/ but it's more like you find someone that understood the situation

Verizon users have to call in and ask for their line to be cdma-less. Multiple users have said once that happens SMS and MMS start working fine. Maybe users need to search before blowing up at OnePlus or Verizon.

Actually call VZW and talk to them before posting here. Or go to the actual store to have them set it up.
My father got the 6T and he is using it on vzw right now and text/mms and calls are all working.
He went to the store to tell them that he has a 6T and that he wants VoLTE and have everything through lte.

Also do what others have said and contact Verizon and have your line set up for LTE only.
