Hi Guys, ordered my nexus 5 last night.
I'm assuming the N5 is a micro SIM? Just wanted to clarify?

yes, it is a Micro SIM. or if you're me a nano SIM in an adapter as a hangover from my iDays. :highfive:
Thanks for such a quick reply!
Upgrading from my Nexus S so will have to either cut it down or get a new SIM!
How exciting!

I would advise getting a new sim card (that is micro) as it is possible that your old SIM card is not capable of receiving LTE signals. It can probably get 3G/HSPA but not LTE.
Thanks for the confirmation, I'm also not using a micro sim yet but I will get one as soon as my phone arrives.

Hello all,
Has anyone here actually activated their 32GB Nexus 5 on the Sprint network yet?
Both my device and CZ2102LWR SIMCARD LTEGSM 3FF USIM have shipped.
I have read on S4GRU that even if you have all your ducks in a row you still cannot activate until the 8th.
It would appear the MEIDs for the cards being shipped are not in the Sprint database yet?
Is this a rumor, speculation or fact?
Anyone...?
i got my sim card in the mail today but my phone doesnt come in tomorrow. i will let you know what happens when i activate it

Have you tried the SIM from your S4 yet?
I have the HTC One, and if I can just use the SIM from my current phone, that would be amazing!! I've been with Sprint forever, so I am not all that familiar with SIMs, haha
I dont think you can use a sim card from a s4 or htc one if its been activated on that device already.

I will be receiving my phone tomorrow, I tried getting a SIM from sprint and they have sent one, but it will take 3-5 business days to receive. So, went to apple store and got one SIM from them.
Hoping I can use that sim in Nexus 5.

Perfect. I just saw that someone was able to get going by using their HTC one card so I guess it is possible.

Where did you see this? I'm at the point of pulling my hair out because I can't get the thing activated.
Got mine today, Sprint wont activate until Nov 8th.
Some how I wont be surprised if they won't activate the phones bought from the play store.
Thankfully I got a tmo prepaid sim so I can actually use my phone.

Sprint representatives have confirmed that they will activate them on Sprint in Sprint Community forums, so I wouldn't worried there. I am a little surprised that they won't activate them until the 8th though.

I'm multitasking at work and don't have time to hunt it down, but if you browse the Sprint forums on their website and search for Nexus 5, you'll see plenty of posts where Sprint representatives have confirmed that the Play Store version will work on Sprint. Basically, we're at the point now that we know they will work, it's just that Sprint needs to get their crap together because they weren't prepared for people to start trying to activate them this early.
I've already contacted Sprint and gotten my early termination fee amount. At this point I'd be doing them a favor by playing out my contract. If they give me issues activating the phone it'll just push me to T-Mobile that much faster.

If I order one directly from Google's Play Store, will I be able to activate it?
"Ninja_CJ Nov 1, 2013 11:45 AM (in response to DrMassenburg)
Yes, you can activate on Sprint. You will need to obtain a Sprint UICC (LTE SIM) from Sprint retail / dealer / web / tele and install, which should pair UICC to MEID automatically. You then go to sprint.com/activate to set up service. Note: In between power-on and Sprint provisioning there is an initial 128 MB update so make sure you're in a WiFi capable area during initial setup of an "unlocked" device."

To those having trouble, definitely keep us in the loop. I would also recommend asking for a manager if you call in. It really sounds like an issue of Sprint just not being properly prepared for people activating yet. I had wondered if this would happen since they're still taking preorders.

depending on your carriers lte, you might not be able to get lte. there is a european variant with differing lte bands. but again, it might be fine as well.

There is 2 different Nexus 5's. There's the D820 which is the T-Mobile, At&t, Sprint version and then there's the D821. You can always check and find out what bands your carrier supports to make sure you get the right version.

The TMo version probably does not come with a sim card ejector tool. Might want to order one on eBay or Amazon while you wait or else you'll find yourself with a new phone and no way to put in your sim

i bought mine at a tmobile the day they got them in, mine had one in the box.
I just got my One Plus One today, bought it from OP, and its not reading my sim card. I even want to AT&T to get a new one and still the same thing. Anyone have any advice?

Did you put the SIM card in correctly? The SIM tray is backwards in the OPO compared to pretty much every other phone.
so basically my dilemma is this.. i can get the 930FD dual sim which is rootable and sell my current 930T (tmobile version) OR wait for something else to come out like nexus 7 (hopefully with sd card slot) and just get that and then sell my 930T? i'd be all over the dual sim version right now, but it has no warranty which kinda bothers me a bit. what do you all think?

right, and normally i'd agree with you, but whats keeping me on the fence is all the SD card mounting issues the phones have been having. if i get the same issue with the dual sim one i won't have any recourse.
