Yes, you just add all your esims to the phone and the swap them using settings

This would work for instance going from an iPhone xs to pixel 4?

Sorry, misread your topic.
Ability to register same esim on another phone depends on provider.
Some allow you to use QR-code multiple times or can generate you new code within the app/send by email, others require to visit provider's store.

(Q) need someone help

So I got a HTC one but didn't come with the 4g lte sim card, so the annoying notifications about no SIM can't be removed
My question is could someone get me a 4g lte sim card? Only reason I'm asking is cuz I'm not on sprint
Please and thanks

I went into a corporate store and so they say they don't have them,he asked if I was a sprint customer and I told him I wasn't a sprint customer
So maybe they do just not for non sprint customers

I believe they're only for Sprint customers, since it's for sprint Lte...you probably need to use a SIM from whatever carrier you're on.

Not sure if anyone is gonna give you their simcard theres bound to be info tied to their account on it, so maybe see about buying a prepaid one for tmo or att or boost (if they have lte for it) and see if that works to stop message onlu cost you a month at lowest cost prepaid

I'm confused... I think we need to clarify some things here.
1) It sounds like you bought an HTC One without a SIM card, are you sure this is a Sprint HTC One? Why did it have no SIM?
2) Was your intent to get a Sprint SIM card and flash the phone to Cricket?
3) What are you looking to do with another person's SIM card?

1) yes I got it without SIM card and yes it's a sprint phone
2) I am already fully flashed to cricket, I just need a sim so this will go away
3) doesn't have to be someone active SIM, it could be an old one

Complete shot in the dark, and unlikely to work, but if you hold your finger on the notif, do you get an App Info option? If you do, you could deselect "Show Notifications".

Switching phones on Verizon website

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?
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk 4
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.
Sent from my XT1060 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
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.

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

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.

Sprint nexus 6 compatible with other carrier's?

I've searched everywhere.. All throughout the q&a but nothing so my apologies if I missed it or if this was posted/asked again... But anyway is the sprint nexus 6 compatible with other carriers like straight tall or att, T-Mobile, Verizon? And if so will it get 4g LTE on those networks?

I also have a similar question. Can a sim card from an overseas carrier be used on a Sprint Nexus 6?
Im not too sure about your question but based on the following website, it seems positive.

yes. itll work on att, and sprint/verizon(if the imei gets put into their system since they are cdma carriers, or you put in a currently used nano sim). the tmobile nexus 6 is exactly the same as the one you buy from the play store.
I'm successfully using Straight Talk with the AT&T SIM on my Nexus 6 from Sprint. It's an unlocked phone despite what the guys at the Sprint store try to tell you.

you can't change it manually. it gets changed according to your service/sim card.

hardware, it physically cannot support those frequencies.
Not true it does support all Verizon bands however Verizon will not authorize those meids for the pure additions to be activated on their network

It supports all LTE and (3/4?) UMTS bands, but not the CDMA ones. Therefore it depends on the distribution of infrastructure in your area is and which towers your phone can see.
But...just left a Verizon store being told the system said no to the MEID. Debating spend a couple hours on the phone trying to escalate tech support levels until someone might whitelist my MEID in some way. Then again, I got this phone because both Verizon and Motorola refused to unlock the bootloader of a phone I had purchased outright...
