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?

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.

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.

Colts,
I''ve done the research for you. None of the major carriers will activate an unlocked phone. Only one is T-Mobile. You can get a SIM card for ten bucks and pay twenty a month for 550 mb. That's what I did.

It's not a phone. That is something to keep in mind. You can use Google Voice or other call-over-data software, but there isn't native phone functionality. It's great as a camera that can still run applications, but if you are looking for a phone first with a great camera second, it probably shouldn't be the first choice.
As for activation, most carries do not WANT to activate an unlocked device, but if it has a clean ESN, they will eventually agree. Worst case, you get whatever free 4g piece of garbage they are offering, pop the sim in the one you want and put theirs on eBay. That is if you even need 4g, which in this case you would.
Not entirely true. If you have an unlocked Galaxy Camera, you can get T-Mobile data plan for $20 bucks (550 mb). Using Google voice and Talkatone, you have a functional phone. No difference whatsoever from a regular smartphone. As a matter of fact, I turned off my S3 and was getting regular calls through "the camera."
My only warning is make sure it's unlocked. Amazon sent me an AT&T locked phone instead of the unlocked that they advertised. I did return it and I'm waiting to get a new "unlocked" phone today. Also, boot in odin mode to make sure it's not a used phone. Mine had been flashed 5 times by someone else and then sold to me as new. Beware, lot's of crooks out there.

Does Motorola provide a SIM card. Correct me if I'm wrong, But doesn't the X use a Nano sim and my current phone uses a micro. Just wanted to know if I'll need to bring it to a store or if they provide one. Thanks!

Yes. My ATT X came with the nano sim preinstalled from Motorola.

I just put my info in through the Motomaker site, built the phone, selected AT&T as carrier and (in my case) chose existing customer and upgrading a line, etc. The only call I had to make was when I received the phone to activate it with ATT, for some reason it wouldn't recognize the upgrade through the web activation method. Sim was already installed and phone was charged, took no more than 5-10 minutes from unboxing to being online.

Oh ok, I chose att as my carrier as well, but I did the $150 off no contract method. I'll probably just need to enter imei and Sim.
Hey guys i had to gwt my hands onecone. Im a verizon customer and i couldnt wait tovget lucky for an unlocked one . Is it possible for me to get this thing to work . i dont have a nano yet. Trying to get a friend of mine from a verizon store to help me out there. If thays the case, will the nano sim card work for me or no ? Im on wifi and i love this thing !!!!!
You need to unlock the phone. It is SIM-locked to AT&T
To get it unlocked through at&t I need an account number and all that. I'm a Verizon customer so I don't have that information. I just bought the phone retail at an att. I heard you can unlock through 3rd party. Are there any recommended sites?

This makes no sense. Please try to rephrase what you are asking for?
Hopefully my editing was clear. Sorry about that

If you're a Vzw customer, get a Vzw nano Sim.
I'm battling the same thing. I'm a Verizon customer and bought the phone outright through AT&T on a friends account. Went to cellunlocker.net and waiting for them to go through another database for an unlock code
Just got word from art that December 4 they will loosen the requirements to getting it unlocked for free. Which may help us

Right now I have no data, but I have voice and text. Every hour or so I will get a message asking for my sim lock pin, which I don't have

I was able to get mine sim unlocked and it's working perfectly on Verizon without any issues.
Through that online unlock website ? How much though . supposedly about to be free through att.. NP issues at all though? Lol that's tempting ...

Ok, I had activated a new nano sim card on my old phone using an adapter. I received my Nexus 6 and it recognized it last week and have been using it ever since .
Today I try to use a straight talk sim card and it worked.
However, i reinserted the VZW card and now won't be recognized. I see there is a ton of APN settings for VZW. Which one is it?
I have a feeling this phone won't play nice if you keep switching different carrier SIM cards.

I had an APN setting question too and according to most,
VZW automatically sets up your APN Settings and the
option to change them goes away. My N6 on VZW
doesnt show any APN settings...

You're going to have to factory reset. I had the same issue, and that was the only way to fix it.
Apparently, you can switch from Verizon/Sprint to a GSM-carrier, but if you switch back--you can't get signal without performing a factory reset.

I just now discovered that before I saw your post. Yes, factory reset did the trick but annoying. Fortunately. I had a barebones vzw backup to restore Wow ! Many idiosyncrasies with this phone.
You can restore a backup if it had the vzw sim originally and it works.

This happened to mine. I went from AT&T to Verizon. I had tons of APN settings then one day one a reboot I could not connect to a network at all. I had to completely reset my phone using the recovery images or system files, whatever you want to call, then do a factory reset from inside the phone. Now it works no issues and I have no APN's to choose from.
I've done a fair amount of searching, and come up empty so I'm hoping you guys can help.
I purchased my Nexus 6 from Motorola. I currently use Straightalks gsm service, but would like to transfer to STs Verizon LTE for better service in my area. Every time I register my device, it says that it won't work.
Can I use a friends imei?
Is there any other work around?
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app
So here is what I did to solve this issue. I used an imei from a Verizon LTE device to activate the straight talk Verizon Sim, then did a factory reset of my nexus 6 with the Sim. Worked perfectly.
