You currently cannot upgrade a line to a Nexus 4 on the T-Mobile website. When you click "log in to see your price", the Nexus phone is not listed after you log in. I upgraded without issue on 11-15-12 in-store. The T-Mobile reps are clueless when you ask about this phone. They tried to tell me that it is not a supported phone and they don't offer it. I even sent them a link to an ad that was on their front page advertising the Nexus 4.
Here is a transcript of my chat with Bayani with T-Mobile Live Chat. You might find it humorously frustrating.

In my quest to find my daughter an ATT Nexus One I ended up with
one that only gets the Edge network on ATT.
I'm assuming this is a T-Mobile Nexus One.
So in my continued quest to find an ATT Nexus One I ran across a guy that said that you can change any Nexus One to run 3G on either carrier by dialing
*#*#4646#*#* and changing a setting.
Is this true ????
I didnt think that sounded right so here I am asking you geniuses
what is the real deal on this.
Thanks for your help.
Not true. It's a hardware issue.
The att nexus has 850/1900/2100 as 3g freq's, while the T-Mobile nexus has 900/1700/2100. Att needs 850/1900.

If that was the case there would not be two different version of Nexus 1
See now thats why I posted in here.
I knew it didnt sound right, and that you XDA guys would know.
Thanks
Yeah he is just trying to make a sale. Its not possible at all.

"we just got word that this is really happening. While the details haven’t been finalized, Google is already deep into development on plans to roll out the service and have it live by mid-late 2013.
Google plans to make the service data-only with voice and SMS only being used as VoIP services, likely with Google Voice"
Doesn't Dish own LTE spectrum? Maybe this is Google's plan to get the Nexus line on LTE? Maybe this was part of their plan all along...
Dish's LTE spectrum purchase: http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/15/3gpp-approves-dish-wireless-spectrum-standards/
i would take this with a pinch of salt.
"we just got word" - not exactly journalistic
Wow this shall be interesting... Well that just help me make my mind up about not signing another two year contract with t mobile when my current one expires in February. I will wait to see what Google and dish have to offer

This would be awesome but unfortunately it will most likely be U.S. only

It's back ordered.
This changes things a bit regarding the Nexus 4. If Google/Dish will truly roll out service with LTE, and then offer a Nexus 4 (2013) with LTE... maybe it's worth hanging onto my Galaxy Nexus for another year. =O
I'll believe it when it hits the WSJ.

Like this? Nothing conclusive, just that talks were/are going on, that may or may not lead to anything. The usual rumors, but being in the WSJ adds a bit of legitimacy to it.
This has nothing to do with the Nexus 4.

If I remember right, I remember reading a leak somewhere that the next Nexus will be available on CDMA networks. I'll try my best to find the source if anybody wants it. But it'll take a while because I'm on my phone currently. If you do think it'll be available for Verizon and sprint, how would that work. As far as I know, Verizon's SIM cards aren't similar to GSM cards at all. So you'd need an actual SIM card from the Verizon store. Would that mean that Verizon would want complete control over the the phone like the Galaxy Nexus? How do you see this playing out?

The LG d120 that went through the FCC and is widely expected to be the next Nexus was both gsm and cdma compatible, as well as having LTE support for AT&T's, T-Mobile's, and Sprint's bands, but unfortunately not for Verizon's. This not good news for Verizon customers, since I doubt they'll allow it on their network without LTE support. I did read some speculation that there might be a separate model just for Verizon, but I kinda doubt it. It's more likely that Verizon are being their usual dickish control freak selves and don't want to play Google's open, unlocked game.
Sent from an N4 blessed with AOKP and sanctified by Faux123!
I thought Google wasn't supporting cdma devices anymore. Didn't they drop support for the sprint galaxy nexus because of that? I pretty much thought they wanted to keep it simple and have just one device, since the rest of the world is gsm. Maybe I'm wrong.

I really want to know from those who have a Verizon rep how have they answered about getting the Nexus 6...
I am the person that approves and denies for our Verizon account I am the that guy for our FedEx like company (it's not FedEx but we have the same dollar power and global brand) so our Verizon rep knows we are good since we drop made $$ for line, plans, etc. I have asked them to be ready to order when Verizon gets in it and they have been on standby to get the news since the pre-sales in Oct with Google... Today they reported this which killed me...and I want to know if you have a Verzion person are you getting the same info?
-----
In regards to the Nexus 6 Verizon Wireless will not be carrying it however you can go to the Google website and purchase it there and we will be able to activate it in our system since it will be compatible with our network.

It could simply be a matter of him not being aware of carrying the Nexus 6, or being unable to actually confirm availability of the Nexus 6 since even Verizon themselves have yet to say when they'll have it available. I mean think about it. AT&T has an information page up about the Nexus 6, but nothing yet for when pre-orders/orders will be available. T-Mobile has had a pre-registration page for a while now to be notified of when one can be purchased. Verizon is the only one of the Big 3 that has yet to say ANYTHING in regards to the Nexus 6... at least from what i can find.

I ordered it from Google. So all it tells me is that my phone will work when it gets here in a couple weeks.
I've had my N6 for a week and a half now; when I ordered it, I requested a Nano SIM from Verizon. It took longer than I expected for the new SIM to arrive, so I decided to just cut down my existing Micro SIM. Did that, installed into the N6, up and running no problem.
The Nano SIM finally showed up, and I swapped it in thinking there'd be no issue. Unfortunately when I start it up, I get a notification to "Sign into network", and when I open that, I receive a screen that says "Cannot Activate Your Device". I talked to VZW on their chat and then on the phone; the tech on the phone was asking for the IMEI which I provided, he said their system did not recognize the number and he'd have to submit a request to have it added to the database, which would take 24-48 hours, and that I could swap in my old SIM in the meantime. No problem, until I switched my old SIM back in and it doesn't work anymore either....
Any suggestions?
Sounds like you were better off keeping them in the dark. I read an article somewhere can't remember where saying that Verizon wouldn't activate any n6 that weren't purchased directly from Verizon. I wouldn't be surprised if that were true.

It does seem that way. Mine came from GPS. Told them that when I requested the new SIM and they didn't give me any problems...it was "sure, confirm your address and we'll send it".
The tech I was dealing with genuinely seemed to want to figure out a way to get it to work.
My thought is to try to get my SIM back in a phone that is unquestionably on Verizon's system, but I'll have to find a nano to micro adapter to do that with my wife's phone, for instance.
I was able to find a nano-micro adapter, and reactivate my old SIM in an old Galaxy S3 we had laying around, and swap it into my N6.
LTE data is working, but voice isn't for some reason (when I place a call, it'll ring once and then "Welcome to Verizon Wireless, your call can not be completed as dialed. Please check the number..."
ETA: Voice issues were some kind of glitch with Advanced Calling/VoLTE. I disabled it from my line, reactivated it and went through that whole process again and now it's working.
This post summarizes the VZW issues with the non-VZW N6: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59970721&postcount=121
Read the whole thread if you want details, but it seems clear to me the VZW is breaking FCC regs by only allowing N6's purchased from them on their network.
It does seem you have other issues going on here though. My N6 worked great, it just cost me my $25 "bring your own device" discount when I plugged in my existing SIM.
Please let us know if you succeed in getting your N6 recognized on VZW's network. My request to add mine to their network was denied in about 5 minutes.
Same issue on b2b plan
I'm having the same issue on a B2B plan. I am currently trying to find someone w/ a Verizon android. Seems like there are grounds for a complaint through FCC regulations though, no?

This is no longer an issue. Verizon will activate all Nexus 6's now from what I've read.

Yeah it would need a lot more than just support for LTE band 13 to work on Verizon. The CDMA bands/radios are still 100% necessary - at least for now. In addition to all of the other LTE bands Verizon supports.

Yea, I guess I am missing something here. I found that you can't enable Band 13 without rooting and disabling other bands. Shouldn't an unlocked nexus 5 just need access to Band 13 and be registered on Verizon's network in order to use LTE Band 13?
I appreciate all of the answers. I'm a bit new to this whole process, and never understood US network space before today. so thanks
