If you have both, just use the new one that you got - since it is not currently tied to another phone, it should work regardless. (I assume the old one from your GS4 will work too - but since you have a new one, I'd use that instead - and keep the old one with the GS4 in case you want to sell it or activate it later)
Whichever is best for you and of course it's a Micro SIM.

Just got a one x and was wondering if there is a phone I can buy as like a backup phone but, since the one x uses a micro sim I was thinking only the iphone uses a micro sim. Am I wrong are there any other smartphones on att that use micro sim?
Use a micro sim adapter. Then you can use any phone. Problem solved.

It's a little piece of plastic. Can't get anymore crappier than that!
Anyhow, I bought one for my Motorola Atrix from eBay for like 99c. Don't pay any more than $1...
I had a T-Mobile G2 from launch and just about killed it. I had to get a phone out of necessity and got the Samsung Galaxy nexus as a temporary replacement.
I really do not like this phone lol. I miss sense and was holding out in hopes of T-Mo getting the HTC one x+ but that didn't happen.
So I pose the question of should I get the T-Mobile one s or get an unlocked one from expansys or just wait it out. I live in an area that was refarmed to 1900mhz so I could get the one x+ or even a droid DNA if I manage to get an unlocked one.
But with those last two choices I'd have to be able to live with 3g instead of HSDPA.
I think I could probably get a free upgrade since I bought this phone unlocked from Google but I can't make up my mind. I also can't stand aosp anymore though. I really want sense lol.
Thanks in advance.

OK, so I have an N4 with an AT&T microSIM that is tied to a contract on my previous lumia 900 - which was LTE, so the microSIM is LTE, I think. I got the N4 earlier this year but decided I wanted the N5 after all... so I got the n5 now, and I want to know the easiest way to switch to the new device. Should I reset and wipe the N4 with the AT&T microSIM still in it? Or should I move the microSIM over to the N5 first? Does it matter?
Thanks,
Kalle
I don't think it matters. Just pop the sim out and pop the sim in...
Turn N4 off. Remove sim card. Insert into N5. Turn N5 on. Achievement unlocked!
Thanks, that makes sense. I guess I was just wondering in terms of getting the N4 ready for sale/reuse by someone else... The reset doesn't need the SIM in it, right?
Stick with the n4 and sell the n5 brand new in box

Why? Don't you like your N5? I was looking forward to having LTE again, and the 4.4 full Google experience launcher ... but perhaps all of that will come to the N4 eventually...
What reasons would you give to keep the N4? It is pristine

You can mod LTE on your n4. I feel the n5 isn't that big of a difference from my Nexus 4

I have been looking at the listings in the swap forum and would like to buy a S3. Question I have is: If I buy a S3 that is unlocked and rooted and running a custom rom, will they activate at a Verizon store or should I activate it on their webpage. I hope to buy one in the coming days. Right now I am trying to decide between the S3 or S4. Leaning towards the S3 to save money, but the S4 sure looks good......

Either is fine.
If you already have a microSIM that's active, you don't need to take it into a store. Just pop it in the phone and it should be ready to go. I've swapped my SIM between my Rezound -> GNex -> now my S3. Only time I had to go in was when I went from Rezound -> GNex, because I needed to get a microSIM, since the Rezound used a standard-sized SIM.
standard size sims can be trimmed down also i did that when i swapped from my rezound to the s3

I am now using a Droid Razr M which has the micro sim so sounds like I should be good....
Just bought a unlocked, rooted S3 on Swappa.............
Hello. I have had nothing but Nexus phones for the last few years. I really like the S6, but am not really sure on a few things. Let me just ask the questions I have, and see if some kind soul will answer them.
1. I'm guessing short of buying a way overpriced international version, there's no way to get an unlocked/carrier-free version of this phone?
2. I use Straight Talk with my Nexus 6. What is the best way (without buying a Straight Talk branded phone) to use an S6 with Straight Talk?
3. If I buy an AT&T S6 outright, do I have to buy service with them? If so, can I cancel after a month and switch to ST?
4. Compared to the Nexus line, is it hell to root an S6 or load custom ROMs on one?
Thanks again for all the help. If anyone is wondering, I do love my N6, but I started running lately, and the 6" form factor is just too much of a beast to strap onto my arm or carry in a pouch. The S6 would be perfect for that.
Anyone?
i can help you with the last question...i think the easiest android phone to flash roms is the galaxy....i used S2 S4 and now S6....and they are the easiest...its simple....maybe you wont find many custom roms for the S6 because of its only exynos variant...but its easy to flash them..

1. Tmobile is the closest you'll get to the international version but your going to have to get it SIM unlocked (try swappa)
2. Take SIM out of n6 and put in s6 I use my s6 on straight talk with no problems you just might have to set the APN settings
3. If you buy s6 outright i do not believe you will have to have service with them should be able to purchase and put your ST sim right in
4. Cannot comment on this but looks like someone already did

Well, the easiest phones on which to flash ROMs are the Nexus phones. But I just wanted to make sure the S6 wasn't too difficult as well.
Thanks for your response.

Thanks for the answers. Where did you get your S6? I can buy the 32GB version from T-Mobile for $629.99. If the one Verizon sells was able to be used with ST, I'd buy it, because they have the lowest prices by far (64GB version for $699). Any idea if the Vz one would work with ST?
Got my gold carrier unlocked S6 for $720 shipped via fedex 2nd day. Not bad I'd say.

I got mine from the ebay seller that had them for $700 the first week, Theres a post on here about using verizon on straight talk, if its like all their others you will get annoyed by the "incorrect sim" message they like to parade around
willmyphonework.net is a good place to see if it has correct bands and what not
