Verizon has sim cards? Since when?

Apparently they now carry 4G SIM cards to allow access to their LTE network (see here). The details are a little sketchy, though, and I wouldn't bank on it working.
If you're really interested in doing this, I would suggest going directly to a Verizon store and speaking with someone there. Maybe even see if they'll let you test it out (probably not, but it can't hurt to ask).
The only other Verizon sim cards I found were international ones that allowed roaming on Vodafone's network. Since Verizon in the US uses CDMA for its non-4G network, SIM cards don't work. With a non-4G SIM card you would end up piggybacking on some other carrier's network.
That's my understanding, anyway.

Okay I have a droid incredible 2 it got damaged but it has a sim card its not 4g either so yeah

That's one of the international sim cards, which basically just lets it hop on GSM networks internationally when it doesn't have Verizon's US CDMA network.

So you mean its not possible

I can't say for certain. You would need to talk to someone at Verizon and ask them if their international GSM sim cards work here in the states.
My guess is that they'll tell you it will work, but since you would be essentially roaming all the time you're using it, it would be either costly or they wouldn't do it. Again, I'm not a Verizon employee, so I can't say that's 100% accurate, but that's my gut reaction.

Yeah ok makes sence my incredible 2 can only go into safe mode thats why I ask this

Have you tried putting the sim card on your captivate to see what happens?

Yes but verizon is so protective you have to have them activate it through the phones imei

Unfortunately verizon does not like you to be able to use at&t on there global phones so afaik there's no way to make it work.

Two Motos, one shows 4G icon, one doesn't when on WiFi

False Alarm. False Alarm.

Mine shows 4g on wifi. I'm on kitkat

I have two Moto Xs, both running the same build. One shows 4G when connected to WiFi and another one has it hidden (as it's supposed to). What the hell Motorola?!
Any ideas guys?

Are they both running the same firmware?

Yes. Only explanation is that it's somehow controlled by the SIM card. One that's acting normal is on TMobile and the other is on AT&T. Also, both are XT1053, but one shows 4G and another shows 4G LTE. Has to be SIM-controlled... I hate AT&T!
EDIT: nope... not it.

Yes. This is what's driving me nuts. Although one is completely virgin and another one I've been using.

So if you swap the sims between the two phones the odd behavior doesn't also change? I know certain providers like to specify what the phone should indicate, this really sounds like of those cases.

I haven't swapped but saw the other phone show same 4g LTE icon. I guess AT&T is forcing it to always on.

Swapped cards... it is the damn AT&T that's forcing it!

If you want the somewhat technical reason, inside the SystemUI.apk, Motorola has modified it and added a bools.xml which basically turns on and off many carrier related stuff.
For example, Sprint sim cards change the signal icons to 6 bars, verizon 5 bars, and if you had an AT&T phone, the AT&T icons.
Just thought I would add this.:good:

That's what I figured. I also thought that the TMobile version would be immune from silly AT&T crap like this, but guess not.

Well, you do get an unlockable bootloader and no AT&T logo on the back.

[Q] Sprint Nexus 6 and Data and Voice at same time

All,
on my Note 3 I can talk and use data at the same time. I thought I had read somewhere that the Nexus 6 would do the same. But it seems that it will not.
I am wrong?
Thanks Dave

I am on AT&T and I have used DAT and a phone call at the same time. This has more to do with your carrier and not the actual device.

Oems have made all phones that are sprint spark capable with only one pathway from modem. ..last phone on sprint that can do svlte is note 3 ...vzw is the same

Unfortunately it doesn't work on this phone =/

The Nexus 6 will not do simultaneous voice and data on Sprint or Verizon. (Although on Verizon it should be possible in some areas when VoLTE starts rolling out, not 100% sure with Sprint.)

Same with sprint they are rolling out volte sometime 2015+

Thanks for the response.

That's why T-Mobile is winning more customers and Sprint is sending techs to your house to help you set up your phone. Priorities. ???

just stick in your sim card and it should work automatically. if for some reason it doesnt, make sure that you are using a valid att apn. its not sim locked(like atts version), tmobile just lets a nexus be a nexus, for real.

Awesome! I'll give it a shot now...Thanks everyone!

No doubt, man, no doubt! I heard and read about that fiasco... The way I got this N6 is nothing short of a miracle. It fell right in my lap. Bought it from a girl for 50 $ because of a shattered screen, turned around and contacted Motorola and they already sent my replacement. I just received it today and Now after spending another 175 with Motorola I have a new N6! And, Motorola sent me a new one factory sealed in the box with all original charger, cord, box, etc! I didn't have any of that except the phone and all they want is the phone back! Crazy!!! I guess I was meant to use this phone because I did want it but the only way to get it was through AT&T's next program and I didn't want to do that, especially reading about all the issues. And, I really was happy with my one plus one. But fate decided it was time for change. So, here I am!

How do we add Radio Bands to Nexus 6 Verizon

Hello, does anyone know how to add Bands to the Nexus 6 for Verizon. Or if there are any new radios out there for Verizon to we can use Data while on the phone. Right now its not working.
The only band that works on the phone is Cellular (800-MHZ)

There is no voice and data until volte is enabled on the phone.... And is presumably in their system once they start selling it. There are several threads regarding this.

XT1103 has bands for all 4 main US carriers. I just got my Nexus 6 on Verizon last night using the sim from my Verizon moto x 2013.

Where did you purchase your nexus 6? The hardware has all radios necessary for nearly all US carriers, including Verizon.

Sorry I dunno. You got duped I guess. No I really dont know why that is all you have.
Was your sim for Verizon previously activated before inserting into the n6?

Ok so i tried a different rom (Chroma) and now I have different radios available. Which is pretty funny.
