Well would Verizon blacklist or whitelist the I.d. number? My sis Wil buy it then activate it then just give me the phone.
Just worried about Verizon blocking it later on
A T-Mobile sold N6 will most likely not be able to work on VZW. See this thread for more details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/cdma-carriers-buying-nexus-6-consider-t2922642
The only sure way it will work is if you already have a nano-SIM. If you currently do not have a nano-SIM, and plan on getting once you get the T-Mobile N6, that is what no one has tested yet.
But droid-life already did the test, the T-Mobile N6 worked with a Verizon nano-SIM just fine.
Best way to do this:
1. Call Verizon and order a nano-SIM over the phone. If they ask for what device, say you just ordered a Droid Turbo from eBay.
2. Upon receiving the SIM and the N6, go to verizonwireless and login. Click on 'activate a device', choose 'device that has never been on verizon', enter your current phones IMEI (not the N6), then the SIM ID off the nano-SIM you just received.. The SIM will now be active, and your current SIM in your phone will deactivate.
3. Insert the nano-SIM into the N6, and you will have a working device.
Can anyone else confirm this? I have a t mobile account and I'm planning on buying it on my line most likely ordering it because they don't have it in store and then giving it to my cousin on his verizon account.

It has been confirmed in a different thread already. The guy got the phone yesterday from T-Mobile. And it worked on his Verizon account, he is currently using it on Verizon, it has LTE and 3g and all that stuff, just like a Verizon phone would. He also tried his friends ATT SIM, and the phone worked as would a ATT phone. Its in a thread in the general section somewhere, good luck finding it.

I'm thinking about getting the Sprint Nexus 6 from Amazon and using it on AT&T. Will it work if I just pop in the AT&T SIM card and still get LTE data speeds?
Yes. I bought mine from Sprint to use on AT&T. The sprint version is unlocked, and is the same thing that Google Play and Moto are selling. plus it doesn't have that stupid logo and boot jingle
So did anyone get a Sprint set from Amazon? Is it sim-locked?

Amazon's Sprint Nexus 6 is the same model the Sprint store sells. Therefore it should work on the same carriers the Sprint purchased Nexus 6 will.

Quick Q
If I want to activate a Nexus 6 on Verizon, do I buy the Sprint Nexus 6 or can I buy any carrier model. Thanks in advance!

any US nexus 6 is the exact same model, no matter where you buy it. the only thing is that the att version comes sim locked.
So which one is the best to buy if I want to activate it on Verizon (in terms of feasibility of bootloader unlock, rooting, etc)? Which would you recommend?

best options are google play or motorola. then the other best option would be tmobile. but if you buy it through google play, they will replace the device one time if you break your screen.
I am thinking about trading my unopened Verizon Note 4 for one. Due to the lack of ROM support and a locked bootloader/non-rootability, the note 4 is virtually worthless to me at this point.

well, the note 4 is rootable, the verizon version though might not be. i own a sgs4, verizon version, and i rooted it using towelroot. but 50% of the time, it wont boot. i get a message that its running unofficial verizon software, and to take it into a verizon.

There is a bounty for both root and bootloader on Verizon Note 4. But you are correct in that other carrier models of Note 4 are already rooted, unfortunately I have waited too long for this phone and need to move on.

Good luck, the VZW Note 4 unopened can barely fetch $600 on swappa. You'd have to settle for a used Nexus 6 I would think with current values. You might have better luck on Craigslist but it's going to be hard getting a straight trade.
It's not worth getting a carrier version N6 until you verify it's been fully bought. And I thought the N6 users on Verizon were having data issues?

Nope, works perfectly fine. Have to jump through a few hoops to get the SIM working (VZW doesn't recognize the Nexus 6 IMEI as compatible) but after that it's great. In the beginning certain ROMs weren't working natively with Verizon, then a simple text edit fixed it, and now I think it's fixed out of the box for all custom ROMs.
I have a google play store N6 running perfectly on Verizon. Had to cut down my micro sim card to nano, popped it in, unlocked bootloader and on custom ROM number 3 so far. No data issues or any operational issues at this point.

Do you have to call and get it activated or do you literaly just pop in the Sim and is good to go?

Just pop in the sim and go. Might take a few minutes to get the Verizon signal on the initial boot, but afterwards, everything should be good to go.

Yup, it was that easy. I read a ton before I made my decision. I bought the Aerb sim cutter from amazon, unboxed my GPS N6, cut my micro sim and had to sandpaper it a little bit to fit, popped it in, 5-10 minutes later I was up and running with zero issues. Happy customer, love this device!
A problem people have had is the IMEI of a device not purchased from Google, Motorola or Verizon will not be in Verizon's database if you have to activate a new SIM card. An already activated SIM will work.
Which device?
A Sprint employee told me to get the Tmobile Nexus since Sprint customers were having pretty bad issues with the nexus 6 on the sprint network. Does carrier specific Nexus 6's have better or worse service on the VZW network? I thought all the phones were the same more or less with the same hardware.

all US versions are exactly the same device. google play, tmobile, sprint, etc.. they are the exactly the same device.
Hello I currently have Verizon for a carrier and was wondering if the Nexus 6 for sprint would be able to work on my Verizon carrier? I had a pretty decent deal $520.00 for a Sprint Nexus 6 that I had to pass up today sadly... I went to the Verizon store and it turns out the IMEI # is not showing up in Verizons database for supported devices.. I was wondering if the Nexus 6 work for Verizon? I'm looking to get a phone that has the bootloader unlocked and will work for Verizon and is a pretty new phone this is why I was considering the Nexus 6, I'm open to other devices that can do this as well if anyone has any other suggestions?
If you have a Verizon activated nano sim (or cut a micro down) you could just put it in the sprint nexus 6 and everything would work fine from what I've read. It will still show as an unknown device and no one knows what will happen for sure with volte yet, but it sounds like verizon will get it on the 12th. People speculate that play store and Motorola phones may eventually be recognized by Verizon, but a sprint version probably never will.

The "sprint" version is the same version from the play store, that's how's it been for quite some time now, that's why it works on any carrier even if you got a contract

I have a Nexus 6 I bought from a 3rd party. Its a TMo variant so its Sim unlocked and whatnot. When I put my VZW Sim in I get LTE and such. I can't call nor send texts messages from said device. From what I get from threads on here I should request a new Sim card and stuff from VZW but if that doesn't work how would I go about fixing this issue. I mean I've already tried the whole calling the Verizon and having them elevate the case but that doesn't do anything. Eh. I mean I still have my M8 so I've been using that but it seems like this phone just doesn't want to work on VZW.
Are there any special things I should do to my phone to make it work. Or any special APNs I should use
Thanks

Please could you describe your question in the thread title? Maybe something a bit more descriptive like "using Verizon sim in TMO N6 - no calls or sms"? That way you will target the people who may know the answer whilst saving people who don't the time spent on reading the thread?
Thanks for your consideration
The phone is going to be blocked via the IMEI.
I don't see it happening on Verizon. Maybe after they roll out the Nexus on their network we would know more.

Mine was purchased from Motorola and activated just fine on VZW. Used a cut down sim card from my last phone. Phone was purchased in November.

Yes direct from Google or Motorola has always worked. I have one from Google myself on Verizon.

The N6 is carrier unlocked except the AT&T version and that's easily remedied, it's got to be APN related. Try a ROM that includes all of the Verizon APN's like Chroma and see if that helps.
If you have a SIM that was already activated then there probably won't be a problem -- it should work fine in any N6 (except I hear the AT&T is network locked).
