Has anyone been able to log into your AT&T account and change your phone to the Nexus 5? I looked under LG and its does not show the model LG-D820. Any ideas?

Hoping someone has a solution to my scenario.
Right now, I have a Galaxy Nexus on Verizon. I use my Verizon number for all calls and SMS. I'm test driving my Nexus 5 on GoPhone (AT&T) until my Verizon plan is up (at which point, I'll either stick with GoPhone if I like it, or find something else).
Is there a way for me right now to get my Verizon number's SMS to show up on my Nexus 5? Is there any app, etc.? I don't want to fart around with porting my Verizon number to Google Voice right now - I will do that when my contract is up, and that will be my solution. But I need a solution for until that point.
If there is no way to do this, that's okay. Thanks for reading. (For calls, I'm just going to forward my Verizon number to my AT&T number through Verizon's webpage).

Thank you for the suggestion. When I downloaded it on my Nexus 5, it told me "Integrated messages is only available for Verizon customers," so I think it's not gonna work. I think I'm just SOL until I port my Verizon number to Google Voice.

Yeah Verizon SUCKS
There are some apps that will forward your SMS to a different number too

I have seen those. I'll probably set one of those up. I was really hoping for an app that would allow me to receive SMS on my Verizon phone, and send as my Verizon number from my Nexus 5. Guess we're not there yet, without the Google Voice port. Again, thanks for your responses!

Google voice is great. Just do it.
Only issue is you can't currently receive MMS through it.
I use GV + straight talk prepaid
It's cool too because you will be able to keep your old number and receive all your calls to it too

Hi,
Just bought a brand new Nexus 5 from a person wanting to keep his iPhone.
Everything is working fine, except it says "No service" (sometimes with one bar, sometimes with all four). Data is working fine though, but neither SMS/MMS or phonecalls works. Sometimes, when i reset/reboot i doesn't say "No Service", but after one single phonecall it reverts back to "No Service" and only data works again.
Iv'e tried resetting with the firmware on the phone from the start, tried flashing both kot49h and krt16m, tried getting a new sim (which works fine in my old Nexus 3), tried different radio-settings but nothing works for me.
Any thought of, what I can do? (before I ship it off to repair, which would cost quite a lot)
Thanks, in advance!

A European one called Telia, or TeliaSonara, depending on your country. I live in Denmark, and here it's called Telia.

You need to either update or add your APN for your provider, then everything will work for you. Flashing modems probably won't help you. Also, make sure the Sim card you have is active.

Iv'e checked and double-checked all of the APN-settings. They should be allright. Also, the sim is active (and it works fine in my Nexus 3)
Don't want to look offensive, but are you on wifi?

The problem you have, i faced that when my old phone got stolen. So less then a week ago my old phone got stolen (got it back, but bought a nexus 5 now :3) i called the insurance company and police to report it stolen, and i got it IMEI locked with the help of the police. And when that happends you wont be able to call or text from it, but your data will work for tracking it.
So my guess is that its a stolen phone and the original owner reported it stolen to the police, and now its IMEI locked.
Try and call the police and give them the IMEI number, and tell them what you told us and ask if its locked.
Great day to you!

@Zestia , I'll try that, although the websites with blacklist-lookup that I've tried the IMEI with, didn't say that it's stolen.
Did you check to see if your phone is blacklisted for being lost/stolen?

Phone Calls dont use apn settings... Even with no apn settings you are able to make calls.. Well at least in Canada... Not sure about other country but i think it would be the same...

EDIT: I was :/
I recently bought the nexus off someone and found out it was the one that came from tmobile but was factory sealed. I put in my sprint sim from my htc one but it wouldnt activate to the network. after the setup process it shows that its on sprint but cant make or receive calls or texts( no data). I know the nexus can work for all sprint its just getting them to enter in the IMEI manually which they say they cant do. Id rather not go through the process of reselling and finding on that someone got from sprint so has anyone gone through this issue that got it working?

you have to call them to add your imei into their system. nexus 5 that sprint sells already is in their system, but yours came from tmo. so it manually has to be put into their system. problem is many sprint reps dont know that and will tell you its not sprint compatible. but it is, they just dont know.

Ill have to go to an actual sprint store ( and not the retail owned on near me) to see if they have experience with it. Calling customer service yielded me no help. Would rooting be an easier approach?

If you live near a store - go. But now you know what you're asking g for, calling should be easier.
Not sure how you think root will help? You can't force your details into the sprint system with root.

you usually have to get a tier 2 tech support person to get the IMEI added into their system.
root has nothing to do with adding stuff into their system.

To be able to flash sprint radios. Though if activation can only come through the store then ill go with that

- You don't need root to flash radios
- Radios won't help you connect to sprint
- Dont think there's such a thing as a sprint radio on the n5
- All radios work on sprint.

While there technically is no such thing as a sprint specific Nexus 5, from a practical standpoint there is in that Sprint did not load any of the IMEI numbers into their system from the devices that were sold directly from TMobile. Without the IMEI number in Sprint's system, their frontline agents have no way to activate the phone. As was mentioned in a previous message you have to get elevated high enough within Sprint to get the IMEI number added to the system. I have not personally tried that but have heard that the results are hit and miss.
Hi all,
I just got my pixel today and activated it on straight talk. I made a test call and worked fine, now though when I call it just says welcome to verizon wireless we could not authenticate your device. Everything else works though. Any Ideas?

What does Verizon wireless have to do with anything? Is your ST phone number a vzw ported one?

Probably since i am running off their towers on cdma. It is a ported number from them, but it was ported 2 years ago.

Looks like it was just unported. You will need to call Verizon and Straight Talk to get it sorted out. I don't believe anyone here can help you with this. Good luck.
I don't think you understood my answer. The number was ported 2 years ago and I have used 3 other phones. This only happened after getting straight talk to activate my nano sim and my phone

I did understand, but it seems like Verizon has your phone number for some reason. I'm actually hoping you didn't lose it in the activation window and now Verizon has given it to someone else. You really need to find another phone and call them, both ST and VZW as soon as you can.
All we did was swap my old phone that was on st to another, why would Verizon get it back? I really don't care if I have to change phone numbers but my thought is that they have 5 seconds to take it. But my text work with that never so that's a no too
If there's a better place to post this let me know.
My brother recently got a new phone, the one plus 8. He also has a still working fine pixel 4. He wants to be able to get calls and texts on both, from texting or calling the same number. We are in Canada and tried using Google voice. But cant seem to get it working how he wants.

I dont see why it wouldn't be. It's basically call forwarding but he wants the calls to come to both phones. So he can have a work and home phone without having to change anything.
There are carriers that allow this like T-MOBILE with their digits app. I have a second line and basically I can use that line any device I want and as long as it's logged in it will ring on multiple devices at the same time. Also this isn't any different than an esim for a watch. Same concept.
