So I got my Nexus 6 in the mail today. I got it from lease2owngadgets.com. its brand new unlocked. I went to the store today to get a nano Sim card. I couldn't get it.
She first tried to add the ESN to my acct. .. Not found.
Then she tried to add the nano Sim to my note 3. Would not allow her to do it. Since the note 3 take a micro Sim. Is there any way around this?
Or is Verizon that strict ...please help

The way I and many others have done it, is to have them activate a sim on either a in-store phone or one of their returns. Once activated on your account it can be put in the Nexus and everything will work. Thats the only way, or you can get a nano to micro sim card adapter for your note 3 and do it that way.

Don't see why it wouldn't, that's what they're made for. Probably easier to just let Verizon do the activation in store, if they aren't willing to do it, try a different person or store.
From what i've read this is the best one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009H6WIRQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_?ie=UTF8&psc=1

If you already have a micro sim, activate it in the Note, then cut it down to nano size

I've cut sims down before. Not specifically a verizon one. I have a cut down sim in my phone right now.
I did it for two nexus but I also had a nano to place on top and cut around. Might want to look into a cutter from Amazon but if you dont want to wait I guess print on a paper template?

I definitely recommend a dedicated cutter. You can usually get one with all manor of adapters for a dollar or two

So I got a HTC one but didn't come with the 4g lte sim card, so the annoying notifications about no SIM can't be removed
My question is could someone get me a 4g lte sim card? Only reason I'm asking is cuz I'm not on sprint
Please and thanks

You should be able to use any sim card for it.
Nope I get the SIM lock

I went into a corporate store and so they say they don't have them,he asked if I was a sprint customer and I told him I wasn't a sprint customer
So maybe they do just not for non sprint customers

I believe they're only for Sprint customers, since it's for sprint Lte...you probably need to use a SIM from whatever carrier you're on.

Not sure if anyone is gonna give you their simcard theres bound to be info tied to their account on it, so maybe see about buying a prepaid one for tmo or att or boost (if they have lte for it) and see if that works to stop message onlu cost you a month at lowest cost prepaid

I'm confused... I think we need to clarify some things here.
1) It sounds like you bought an HTC One without a SIM card, are you sure this is a Sprint HTC One? Why did it have no SIM?
2) Was your intent to get a Sprint SIM card and flash the phone to Cricket?
3) What are you looking to do with another person's SIM card?

1) yes I got it without SIM card and yes it's a sprint phone
2) I am already fully flashed to cricket, I just need a sim so this will go away
3) doesn't have to be someone active SIM, it could be an old one

Complete shot in the dark, and unlikely to work, but if you hold your finger on the notif, do you get an App Info option? If you do, you could deselect "Show Notifications".

Everybody does
I have a gnex with unlimited data, and just bought a Dev edition and I want to keep my unlimited data. So if I use verizons website and go to activate or switch device, will I be able to keep my unlimited data?
I just don't want to f*ck up when I use the website
Has anyone used the website to do this, and did it work?
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk 4
If you're just switching devices you should be able to do it without losing your data plan. I did it many times when I was using VZW. However, you shouldn't need the web site if your phones are LTE. Just move the SIM to the new phone.

GNex uses Micro Sim while Moto X uses nano, so OP needs to cut the micro Sim or go get a nano Sim.
Sent from my XT1060 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
When i ordered the phone it said sim card included
I don't want to cut the card in case the Moto x ever breaks or whatever, so I can have a backup phone
So I guess I'll give the website a try

Website works fine, or just go into Verizon and tell them you want to change your phone. Did it at a store when I purchased my old Gnex off someone.
I switched mine on the Verizon website in about 2 minutes. You will need to use the SIM tool so you can pop your new nano-SIM out of your phone and read the number off it.
Unlimited data stays.
Is there any way to avoid the 10$ fee for one?
Sent from my SHV-E120S using Tapatalk 2
Just ask them if they can waive the fee. This has always worked for me!

Do you think it'll work if I'm a prepaid customer?
Sent from my SHV-E120S using Tapatalk 2
Ahh if its prepaid you'll probably have to call the prepaid customer service and have them send you one. They'll do it for free too though! Or charge 1$. I've been on both ends of tmo before and never had to pay for a Sim!
wait until it's FREE, or a penny, maybe 99cents.
Or
you can tell them your sim stopped working, they can replace it for free.
I need to get one too, I should've bought one last month when it was 99cents.
But for now, i can just cut my microSim to nano size.
Or you can wait till you get the phone and (that come with the a sim card) take it to t-mobile and have them activate it.
Can/will they do that for a prepaid account?

It should come with one. Buy I have never had to pay for one before. Even had one shipped to me when my phone was stolen and T-Mobile was an hr and a half away. No charge. But I have been with them over 12 years. In a valued customer.

We never charged anyone for sim cards when I was working at T-mo
I'm having issues getting my phone activated with Verizon, even with what I'm told is an already active nano sim. My phone tells me that it has no sim card on the lockscreen, and the sim info app shows nothing for the sim serial. I'm starting to wonder if my sim slot is just bad. I have done a factory reset to no avail
TLR Can someone that has a spare inactive nano sim pop it into their Nexus 6 and tell me it still shows that no sim is installed on the lockscreen?
Have to ask this question......is you sim in right??? Gold side up.

I bought a tmobile nexus 6 for my GF who is on verizon. She put her sim from her moto X into the nexus and it worked. Do not remember if it said no sim detected but i do remember her using it with the signal bar being greyed out most of the time.

Use the new one. Just call them and activate it, i did that. Might as well you paid for it besides you will have to call to activate the note 7 and let them know your using your old sim. Call will end right after they switch the sim and activate it on the new device so either way same thing.

I just put in the old card and turned the phone on and it's done
I heard new cards contain more stuff, so it's best to use the latest and greatest, just pop it in and dial 611, it switched in less than 5 minutes.

Yeah you don't have to activate the phone just the SIMS card. I'm using the same SIMs card on my Note 4 Note 5 and Note 7... just have to add the little adapter to put it back in the Note 4 to make it bigger

Sim card from my Note 4 didn't fit in the Note 7. Too big and couldn't be made any smaller. Had it since the Note 2 I believe.
