My question is this I have a company iPhone I'm a Verizon network I would like to take the SIM card from the company iPhone and use it in a droid based phone. Is this possible?

As long as they both have sim cards and are verizon phones it should work.
I'm using a Apple Iphone 5, but I prefer Sony Z1 Honami

My friend has the Wildfire, which is nice, but 3.2" screen sucks. I need to get him a good phone. So I'm going to buy him one, but which is a good phone to start with and easy to port. I saw the sprint nexus and it looked a little difficult. The evo was a little easier. But im open to any carrier or phone, anyone have good experiences?
I am also interested in porting my phone to metro... I have TMobile gs2 not sure its possible since I have sim tech.

It won't be possible with GSM devices. Only CDMA can be flashed to Metro. Try Simple mobile if you want GSM

Should I just get a Nexus S 4G?

OK, so I currently have a wifi aokp ics HTC flyer, iPod touch 3rd Gen jailbroken , hp touchpad dual booted with android and web os, and Samsung fascinate on miui 4 used only with wifi and has no plan of any kind, I bypassed activation. As you can see, I have a large collection of devices but do not have any cellular plans on them at all (my phone is a basic keyboard phone and I can't afford to pay 360 dollar a year data plan upgrade with Verizon, plus I don't want to worry about going over on data and being charged more). That being said, I want to try wp7 but don't know which devices I can use without a plan of any kind and just on wifi. Could someone clarify for me what my options are, if there are any, I have Googled it for a while without luck. Any help is appreciated, and thanks in advance! just a note though, I asked specifically about the HTC arrive and dell venue pro before because of the keyboard, but they didn't seem confident in their own forums. Again, thanks!

On Verizon you can't use an unlocked smartphone phone without adding data because it's cdma

I'm not talking about putting it on Verizon, I just said that was my carrier for my keyboard phone, no wishes to replace it. I just want to try wp7 in general and use it not as a phone but WIFI ONLY, like an iPod touch. I want no plan of any kind. This is possible on some androids, I've done it on the fascinate. So I just wanted to know my options.

Are you sure? If that's true, how do you bypass the cellular activation screen and go on with using wp7? There was a method to it with the fascinate, and you could simply hit the home button once on a custom from. Is this the case for wp7 too? Or are any unlock codes needed to do this? If there is a custom rom of wp7 for a phone, is it safe to assume it can be used without a plan of any kind?

Hey I hate to repost, but want to find out what windows phones I can buy to try wp7 without a plan. Oh, and I'm not interested in wp8 yet since phones will be expensive and don't know what wp7 is

You could check the Nokia Lumia series. Even I am bored with Android, considering Lumia 710

I can use the Nokia lumia without a sim card??? Fantastic! How will I bypass activation though, with custom rom or a bypass method or what?

I am just wondering since my sister has the old iPhone contract with AT&T which gives her unlimited data so long as she is using an iPhone.
That's pretty much the only thing holding her back from switching to Android.

If you have a rooted android device you can edit the build.prop to change the phone's build number etc.. But that's not going to work I think with an iPhone because it isn't recognized and you might brick your phone. So I guess she is stuck with her iPhone.
I know the Nexus 5 has LTE support, but I just wanted to be sure before I purchase it, that it'll be usable on Verizon. Always wanted a Nexus device!

Definitely a no go on Verizon. Pretty much everyone offers LTE now, and the Nexus 5 works with all of them... except Verizon.

I bet Little Red will get it next year... that's one of the reasons I switched carriers.
Seriously. Thanks guys! I was an inch away from buying it. Hopefully Verizon pulls the stick out of their asses and brings the Nexus 5 over. I get the feeling they just don't want a device of such a caliber to be sold through them at such a low price. Needless to say however, if the Nexus 5 comes over to Verizon, I'll have to retire my HTC DNA. Love it, but the Nexus 5 is such a sexy phone >.<

I ordered 2 nexus 5s and going to play ETFs and never touch Verizon again

So, what's the basis for the incompatibility? Is the Nexus 5 just flat-out incapable of working on Verizon if I were to plug in a Verizon SIM?
Will Google have to make another version of the 5, or is this something that can be rolled out with a firmware update?
I've given up trying to understand Verizon's customer satisfaction strategy, but want to understand the nuts and bolts of why it won't work on their network.

Yeah, I bought a 32GB version today too only to find out that it will not be compatible on VZW. Luckily, my contract is up pretty soon, I think. I plan on going to my VZW store and finding out the exact date. But yeah, I'm hopping off of VZW as soon as possible. I'm so sick of their nonsense. AT&T Straight Talk, here I come!
I had to get a 4G LTE SIM card from Best Buy. The Nexus 5 on Sprint will only activate with a SIM card. The Best Buy associate discounted the SIM card to make it free. Call your local Best Buy Mobile store and see if they have an LTE sim card in stock, and if they do I would go tonight and pick one up. My Sprint Nexus 5 is fully functional on 4G right now.

According to sprint, best buy, and google, the nexus 5 can only be activated with a 4 g l t e g_s_m sim card. It will not activate over cdma . It has to have the 4g simcard.

The issue is really with 32GB versions. What size is yours?
I popped the SIM from my HTC One into it and went through the activation process. The only hiccup was I needed to drop the last number from the IMEI to get the system to recognize it.
I have the 32 gb

How much did they charge you? The best buy over here wanted 30 for one.

I can verify, successfully activated my 32 GB black tonight (online) with Sprint SIM card ordered yesterday through chat service(international). So far, so good. (cross fingers, knock on wood). Only thing I haven't checked on is 4G service, since I've been busy installing apps, etc. over WiFi tonight.
Anybody on Sprint's SERO account and activated online themselves successfully? Or how did you guys go about switching to the N5?
Online? Chat? Over the phone?
