I finally got Sprint to unlock my Nexus 6 and I'm starting to research prepaid plans with unlimited data. Thus far I have it narrowed between T Mobile or Metro PCS and I am trying to see if there are any issues getting this device in either network. Google is full of contradictory articles, and I want to know if I'll have to flash a carrier specific ROM and radio and if there are known issues. Any advice would be appreciated.

I purchased my gs5 at full retail... I'm also an elite best buy customer which should mean I get 30 days on returns.
I would like to take it back and exchange it for the T-Mobile version.
Does anyone know for sure that I can do this?
I've been reading reports saying others have been successful unlocking the T-Mobile variant and having it work on all bands of the AT&T network.
I'm just curious if the elite best buy customers on XDA has ever done an exchange past 15 days.

So is it confirmed that there is no difference between the nexus 6 phones that all the carriers are selling? Specifically the T Mobile vs AT&T version. My ex wants my One+ and is going to buy the nexus 6 through T Mobile's Installment plan and then give it to me for my One+. But I want to make sure before she does it that the T Mobile phone would be totally compatible on AT&T network. On past phones the T Mobile version was missing one band I believe. I just want to make sure I would have full compatibility. Thanks.

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.

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. ???
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 ...

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.
