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

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

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.

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.

I bought the playstore version and am using it with Tmobile. I have issues with connecting to tmobiles LTE. It takes 5-10 minutes to connect and is always switching from lte to h+ to 3g. Tmobile told me it is because it is the playstore version. They also told me Samsung does a better job than LG with their WiFi modem.

Your LTE issue might be a defective, settings or regional issue. I have been a electronics seller and I left the job because I hate telling lies to customers. Whenever I hear of a representative misleading a customer, it reminds me that freasking job
There's a huge chance also that the Representative doesn't know anything about what he is selling/supporting or the tech involved with it. Even on google customer service...
There are only 2 different N5 (D820/ D821) US models are D820. A hardware difference implies a variation on the model # and yours is D820.
i bought the phone and LTE is working like a charm! success!
There is like 15 threads about this. This community has search. Next time use it

Now that you've unlocked it, what carrier have you taken it to that is successful? What I've been reading is yes you can unlock it (domestic sim unlock) but due to different technologies there's no guarantee you can use it on GSM carriers like ATT or T-Mobile's 4G spectrum. You'll probably get 3G but not 4G LTE... Can you confirm?

No chance any international phone will ever be whitelisted by sprint. You have the hardest carrier to use unlocked GSM phones with. Sprint is CDMA and has a system of adding only the phones it will allow into its network

^ This. This is also why most of the phone reviewers, in the US anyway, have either AT&T or T-Mobile, as they're both use GSM. All unlocked phones sold in the international market are GSM, so you can basically plop in your SIM and you're good to go.
Verizon and Sprint are much trickier as they both use CDMA, which unless I'm mistaken, it's only in the US market. And with their whitelist system, even if you have the correct bands for their networks, it still might not work.
Lol that sucks being that I'm with Verizon. Ah well no root and roms. As long as it works great factory I guess I'll be okay.
I love mine even though it's sprint model. So much nicer then that nightmare iPhone I had. Lol
