I recently purchased the Moto X as a upgrade on one of the other lines on my account (tiered plan) with the intent on using it on my line (unlimited).
Should I activate it on the upgraded line (tiered) first then swap out the sim cards and use it on my line after?
Or
Should I just put in my current Sim card and I'm good to go. I know I'll have to cut my sim.
Just curious if Verizon wants to see that phone show up on the line it was purchased for.

It shouldn't matter, but it might show up as your line having a pending order until you activate that phone on the line it was purchased on, which would not let you make any other orders on that line until the order is "completed."
keep unlimited
i found a post on slickdeals about how to keep your unlimited. I ordered my phone through motomaker and used my own upgrade. when the phone came i took the sim out right away and cut it. put in my old sim and it was up and running with no issues. no activation needed and i still have my unlimited data
Now that is an interesting possibility. The Best Buy method has become unreliable at best (actually failed for me after 15 days), but perhaps using Moto Maker to order and not using the new SIM would indeed work. I would love confirmation if that works for other people too

It will work fine if you pay full retail obviously.
If you want to upgrade you have to pick a new tiered plan before you can order. That is unless you have an extra line already on a tdp.
I paid full retail and it activated no problem using the new sim also. Which is fine because my old Sim didn't have the secured element or whatever so things like Isis cried no. Always used wallet anyway

What do you mean it failed after 15 days? I just received a new Moto X from MotoMaker and popped in my old SIM in place of the new one and I've had no problems. Please explain what happened after 15 days in your situation.
When I ordered a phone through Best Buy online, I put my old SIM into the phone after it arrived, and everything looked good (kept my UDP). 15 days later, my UDP vanished and I was on a 2GB TDP. I called Verizon, they were confused (because I had never selected the TDP) and tried to figure out what happened. Eventually they determined that Best Buy's system had automatically pushed through a change in my plan that day (exactly after the return window I suppose). They went ahead and changed it back to UDP for me. I consider myself surprisingly lucky that Verizon actually changed my plan back. They were surprised by Best Buy too.

Once moto maker becomes available for Verizon (hopefully next week), is it possible to keep unlimited data and get the on contract price and do moto maker? I have a family share plan with 2 lines with unlimited data and 1 line that's a feature phone (no data). I know if I go to the store I can simply transfer an upgrade from one of my unlimited lines to the feature phone line, upgrade it and add a data plan temporarily. Then activate it on that line and get them to then switch it to my unlimited line and cancel the data plan I put on the feature phone line. While that works in store, does anyone know of any way to accomplish that and do moto maker as well? Thanks in advance.
If Vzw goes the Moto Maker pin method, I don't see why not.

any carrier branded device will have a locked bootlaoder for VZW. Only way to get an unlocked one is buy a Dev edition at full retail, problem is no access to MotoMaker if oyu buy Dev edition

Maybe SIM card unlocked but not bootloader. Honestly that ( bootloader unlock) would make no sense seeing as AT&T is the only company using MotoMaker still and all there devices are locked. That said I dont care either, I buy retail and buy Dev edition anyways. no contract for me & i want my unlimited data still.
Thanks guys. Ordered the Dev Ed for Vzw. :good:

AFAIK, you go to the store just like any other upgrade but you don't walk out with the handset. Instead, you get a Pin # that you enter at the Moto Maker website and the phone is shipped to you.
I haven't done an upgrade transfer (one line only) but numerous people on xda and droid-life seem to have done it; you may need to find a rep that knows the procedure though.

I'm in the same boat. My rep couldn't do it because of having to leave vzw site to finalize the order. Same on my end. I did ask her about the pin situation and I will report back if she figures anything out. I would just buy the dev edition buy not a big fan of the white and black look.

Sounds good - I was thinking about going in to a verizon store to ask about the PIN deal and see if I can get one from a transferred upgrade there. Probably won't be able to get there until Thursday, but I'll report back here with what I find if nothing else comes up first.
Edit:
Actually made it in this afternoon, and the reps seemed adamant that even transferring an upgrade would cause the unlimited data to be taken off the original line. So I didn't do anything else at the store.

I was not able to do it online either. I'm going to try the transfer at a store on Monday to see if I have any better luck.
i've done two moto x upgrades and have unlimited on both lines.
see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2525268
Success (I think)!
I went into my local Verizon store yesterday and had success! The key was using an upgrade from a line without an unlimited data package. I talked with customer care online and they confirmed that if I were to transfer an upgrade to OR from the line with unlimited data, I would lose it. So, in effect, I will have an available upgrade on my unlimited data line (as of next February- see below) that I can never use with a subsidized phone. I also talked to multiple sales reps at the store to confirm they'd be willing to the post-delivery swap for me before pulling the trigger. Here's my situation:
Nationwide Family Share Plan (700 minutes FWIW, but that shouldn't matter)
1) Line 1- Galaxy Nexus w/ unlimited data, upgrade eligible in 2/2014
2) Line 2- Feature phone, upgrade eligible now
Here's what happened:
1) Used the Line 2 upgrade to order a new Moto X with a Motomaker PIN and add (temporarily) to a minimum 2GB plan on that line
2) Went home and completed the order via Moto Maker
Here's what is supposed to happen next:
3) When the phone arrives, activate it on Line 2
4) Re-activate the old Line 2 feature phone, thus deactivating the new Moto X and cancelling the 2GB plan.
5) Put the SIM card from the Line 1 GNex into the Moto X and activate the phone.
Talking to customer care and to the in-store sales reps, it was advised to do steps 3-5 in person at the Verizon store, to make sure it all goes well. I archived my on-line conversation with customer care, so I have a record that indicates I should be able to keep unlimited data, just in case. Doing this will reset the upgrade date on the Line 2 to 11/2015 and not touch Line 1. Of course, as I mentioned above, the Line 1 upgrade is unusable (if I use a subsidized phone), or I will lose my unlimited data on that line.
Phone should arrive next Saturday, 11/23. Can't wait!

Don't believe them. I recently switched the upgrade from my unlimited vzw S4 to another line on my contract through the website and ordered a moto x on that line. I could've then switched the phone over to replace my S4 but it was for my wife so I kept it there. Nothing changed with my unlimited. I too was told several times that doing this exact thing would surrender my unlimited. It didn't.
people who are going in to the stores, asking what's this and how to do this to keep unlimited... STOP!
there's lots of help, including some previous posts (as well as a few helpful reps trolling the interwebz) on the how to... if you're going into a store to purchase a moto maker pin, ONLY tell them that you want to purchase a PIN with an alternate upgrade. all of that other stuff/details/etc. just confuses them and they have to put in their two cents. just go in to do what you need to do and get out.

The problem was that they were not going to let me transfer the upgrade for an in store purchase - they said the "proper" way to do this was to order the upgrade on the line that had it, and then transfer the phone to the alternate line afterwards (which definitely would remove the unlimited data). I dont think I could have convinced them to transfer the upgrade and then give me a PIN at the store I was at...
I ended up just doing it online (non-motomaker), which worked fine, but I'm a little disappointed I couldn't upgrade the storage.

stores do alternate upgrades all of the time. if you're still in your 14 days, i say go to a different store.
Just left a Verizon store. Was told I wouldnt be able to keep Unlimited by transferring the upgrade from my line to the non unlimited line, told him I wanted to try and see if it would work anyway. He goes through the process And it keeps our plan the same but he remained adamant that a soon as I activated it, it would change the plan. So it looks like I'll be seeing what happens, hoping for the best.
I bought the 32 GB nexus 5 from Google received it in 3 business days. Little did I know how hard it would be to get a Sim card from Sprint. To make a long story short there is a gentlemen selling them in eBay. I didn't think to look there until I called every sprint store and tried calling sprint 3 times (hoping to a different answer). Just thought I'd let everyone know this is a possibility if you are like me and stuck with out a Sim card.

If you ever in that situation again, Full sized sims cards can be chopped down to the size of a microsim and work perfectly fine.

If they are full size cards, they are really easy to cut to size for the N5. Many cell phone stores will do this either for free or for a small nominal fee. You can also try to do it yourself, if you are really careful. Or you can buy a micro SIM cutting tool for a few dollars.
Of course, if all you can get are nano SIMs, then you need to get an adapter instead. Again, shouldn't cost more than a few dollars.

Sprint is CDMA so most users don't have the LTE sim card.

same thing with me got the 32gb nexus 5 from the play store but I got a sim card ordered on nov 6th through chat but it still hasn't shipped yet so then I asked again on chat today when its gonna be shipped and was told it could be 10 days. even tried a few sprint stores around me and none of them have one.
Tell them you need a SIM card for a HTC One or S4 and don't show them the Nexus 5 until they bring it out. For some reason a lot of them are under the impression that the Nexus 5 uses some kind of magical SIM card and will just tell you they don't have it.
Thankfully I had a sim from my Htc One. BUT I since switched to tmobile after being on my moms sprint plan for about 4 years. It was a great decision to switch.
I have one
I ordered my N5 through Amazon to use on AT&T. I have the Sprint SIM card that came with it. I'm not using it, PM me if you any of you want it. I'm in NY to give you an idea of how fast it will get to you. I can send it out tomorrow.
I recall reading around(cant find source) that roughly 15,000 Sprint sim cards just went up and missing. They dont know if there were stolen or just misplaced. I will try to dig up some source for you all soon.
i called customer care and was told they would be happy to send me one but they were back ordered. it took me 4 stores but i was able to get one a sprint store just outside of boston. they had two. actually pulled out a baggie that said nexus 5 on it. thank god. hoping my phone will be in next week.

No they absolutely do not. Just made an Israelite journey out of several stores and they don't have any. Most are even sold out or out of stock of the 16GB model they carry which comes with a Sprint SIM.
Even tried begging if they could give or sell me one from any busted/broken/RMA'd Sprint phones that use micro SIM (S4, HTC One etc), but no dice.

Nano or micro SIMs? Everyone i went to had a boat load of nano SIMs but no micro SIMs.
Just pickup a nano to micro converter from Best Buy its about $10.00 and works like a charm
After being told by the local stores that I could not have any of their SIM cards, I hopped online with Sprint World Wide Chat last Friday, 15 NOV. They told me the cards were back ordered, but they would be happy to order one for me and ship it when it comes in at no charge. I accepted their offer and got a ship notice on Tuesday. The card arrived yesterday. I guess my point is that "back ordered" does not necessarily mean an indefinite wait. My N5 shipped last night and I should have it in my hands Monday morning, so I'm a happy camper right now.

Hello all. Though we know the N6 works on VZW and units are beginning to ship out, I am reading reports (android police)VZW may not activate new nano Sim cards for active subscribers because it wasn't bought from VZW.
Specifically, a phone purchased directly from Motorola is presenting issues.
As more Motorola units ship, has anyone had a problem? My current phone uses a micro Sim. Sure, I could cut it but am afraid I might screw it up.
Please share your experiences.

The new one needs to be a 4ff nano SIM and it does not work because it needs to be activated and provisioned on your account. You call the number and give them your old phone imei and they activate the SIM. Then place it in the n6.

I told them on the phone that I bought my wife a 2013 Moto X and that she needed a nano sim card for it and they sent it out right away.
When I received it, I used it as a template to cut down my wife's micro sim to a nano sim. It was easier that way.
My super duper cutter arrives today. When my phone arrives and if i screw up I can always get a new micro Sim and recut it instead of going through the VZW crap of trying to get a nano. The store is right down the street from me so not an issue.

I ordered an adaptor kit from Amazon so I could activate the nano-sim in my Galaxy Nexus, as well as switch back between devices in case of any accident/problem. Didn't have any trouble getting the nano-sim from Verizon.
Hi Jerry, I recently purchased a new device that requires a NANO 4G LTE SIM Card 4FF. My current device uses a micro-sim. Can you send me a new NANO sim to my billing address?
Not sure if it matters, but the line for the device is **********. It was purchased off contract.
Jerry: I can definitely send you a nano-SIM. We also have them for free at our corporate run stores, but if mail is easier, my pleasure.

mail would be easier for me. I ordered a Nexus 6 from Motorola

It's the same sim card as the droid Turbo
Jerry: perfect, thanks

So I went to Verizon today to try and activate it and they told me that I needed to have a phone that used a nano sim to activate it, which means droid ultra, droid maxx, droid turbo, and the newest droid razr. No iPhone nano sims will work in it from what this rep told me. I have a friend with a droid ultra, so I'm gonna take him up to verizon and have them activate my sim in his phone and reboot it to fix the mm issues with my sim in it, and then move the sim over to the N6.
Big red is definitely not making this easy for us.

There is another thread on here as well as Droid Life saying it will work. I have an adapter so I can put it into my current Micro SD HTC one phone with adapter, activate it and then use the nano SIM in Nexus 6 according to the thread.
Edit::: I found out the iPhone 6 does not have NFC so Verizon is sending me a nano for the HTC m8 which will work. So, you are correct that technically an iPhone 6 won't work totally because of the NFC. Thanks for pointing that out!

I went into a Verizon retail location today (Village At Orange - 1500 E Village Way, Ste 2205 Orange, CA 92865) and they were worthless.
I explained to the representative what I needed and they told me they couldn't do it unless I activated it in store. I explained that would be a pain, but that I did have an adapter and was willing if need be. They said fine.
The representative then went over to a table with me and said that my device (Note 3) was not a nano sim device. I explained again that I had an adapter and he said there was nothing he could do. I asked if he could call someone and he told me he wouldn't. I then asked for the manager's card.
On my way home I called Verizon and they're sending a card out. It'll get here Monday. If my phone beats the sim I'll just trim my current one down. I'm disgusted at the service I received at the store. The representative acted like he couldn't care less. Really, really frustrating.
So, I'm finally moving away from the note series after being tired of not have roots. I started looking at N6 which i have questions about before I buy.
My first question is can you root and unlock bootloader on current firmware. I've also read where Verizon is giving N6 user a hard time on activation or this true or can I just take my phone into verizon and get a nano sims card. If I can't I think I can always cut my current sims into a nano.
And will this phone work on Verizon i believe the US carriers are XT1103 correct.

Beware of used N6 unless previous owner prepared it for sale. You can get it new for $349 at Best Buy

Yes, you can root unlock and flash to your hearts content. Yes, it will work on VZ. Can't answer about sim card.
Easiest way get a vzw version I have one and its unlocked just like all the rest if your worried that way you know they will activate it if you don't get one from then they won't give you any support

I'm on Verizon & bought my N6 from Amazon months ago. Verizon gave early buyers static because they hadn't released the N6 themselves (wasn't in their inventory yet) & people were having difficulty getting a Sim, thus the cutting of cards, etc. I called the 800 #, was upfront on where I'd bought my device, & requested a Verizon Sim. No problem & it arrived via Fed-Ex. I actually cut my original Note 2 Sim card myself, installed it & NoGo! Wouldn't work - never worked -hence my hasty request for a new Sim card! They sent mine no problem. All is well! Fantastic upgrade vs a Note IMO.
