Hi, I'm looking for a new phone, and the Nexus 5 is the top of my list. I currently need a sim card slot, since Immix is my provider. Does the Sprint Nexus 5 have a SIM card slot? I've tried googling, but my results varied a lot.
Thanks!

There is no "sprint" nexus 5. There are only 2 Nexus 5 models. D820 (North America) amd D821 (rest of the world) and they both have sim card slots. Sprint simply sell the D820.
Oh okay, that makes sense then. So there's no sim lock? Like you can use any carrier? If so, sweet!

yes, can use on any US carrier but Verizon. can use it on atr then pop in a tmo or sprint Sim and use it there. there's no such thing as a sim lock for a nexus.

Alright, thank you very much! I've only ever really worked with the Galaxy series and iPhones, so android I'm fine with, it's just specific devices I have a little trouble.

I'm about to buy a Nexus S i9020A (AT&T) on eBay, but I need to know if there's an application here to simunlock it or a good site to buy a code (if you have a website, please tell me price). I've been reading and in one thread someone replied saying It's already unlocked and that Nexus device sold has always been sim unlocked (even those sold subsidized by the carriers)... so I don't know what to think about it. In another thread the user said he bought on in Craigslist and he said it was unlocked and rooted... which got my attention the "unlocked" part... so, there's a way to simunlocked or not?
Please help me.
I'm waiting for your response to buy it.
Best regards.
It will probably be unlocked but if it isn't, the Nexus is is one of the easiest phones to unlock. Look up a tutorial somewhere here on xda, or wait for a more senior member to give you his advice here.
Good luck

"Unlocked" wrt/Nexus S refers to bootloader unlocking. IIRC the Nexus S cannot be SIM-locked at all - the baseband doesn't support it.
It doesn't need to be Sim unlocked. They are all unlocked by default.

See? That's what worries me. Are you sure about that dude? The thing is in this thread the author said the i9020A doesn't work with a T-Mobile SIM card... so?

It's obvious it doesn't work with a T-Mobile SIM card.
The Nexus S GSM has 2 versions:
i9020A, working on HSDPA 850/1900/2100
i9020T, working on HSDPA 900/1700/2100
Both are GSM, but different bands. They're not "software locked" but simply unable to connect because it's a modem issue.
So if you have a T-Mobile SIM, you need a Nexus S whose model number is I9020T

Exact.
Not exact. T mobile will work just fine. T mobile 3g data service will not
All gsm networks will work on any 9020/9023. 3g not so much

Wrong again, in parts. Since we're not talking about the US only.
Not all operators around the world actually serve their users with 2G. Just up north, in the beautiful country called Canada, many operators only offer 3G, including mine. Thus, in the end, you end up with no service if 3G isn't supported.

I see we have the same location Is Bell 3G only? I'm on Rogers and I use 2G unless im out of my wifi range.
*To be safe* if you have a T-Mobile SIM, you need a Nexus S whose model number is I9020T, and it will work without a doubt

Hey, I have a similar problem, I bought a nexus S i9020a second-hand and flashed it to JB using Nexus Root Toolkit...I am getting no service. Something must have gone wrong, the sim works in my other phone and I have tried calling my wireless provider rogers to repush the sim card anyways. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

You need a i9020a for Rogers, so that's good. Check for broken pins in the SIM slot. Happens too often with the Nexus S.

Any compatible radio would work however. Only if he flashed one that isn't compatible.
I just purchased a 16gb Nexus 5 through the Google Play store. It is my understanding that this can be activated on Sprint and AT&Ts network.
I plan on initially activating my device under my current Sprint account (should be easy, call it in and have them activate the device by the IMEI/DEC). Right?
However, eventually I will be moving to AT&T...does anyone know how this change of carriers will work or if it is even possible? and if it is possible what steps need to be taken? Is it as simple as flashing new radios and switching out a SIM card?
Thanks in advance
It's GSM unlocked, just put in your AT&T sim card and you're all set

Yes, as it has the necessary bands and just to double check I verified with AT&T. i was a little worried after my purchase and google play did not list them as carriers
Can anyone who has actually received a Nexus 5 confirm the size of the SIM card and whether it is Micro or Nano sized?
Please don't speculate, I'd really like to hear the absolute facts. I need to know whether to order a nano-size SIM cutter ASAP because my carrier doesn't offer nano size.
Thanks!

I believe it's micro, because the only phones I'm aware that use the nano sim is the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S

It is a micro Sim confirmed many times on here.

Same as the one x
It's Micro Sim.
its micro sim just as what everybody else said.
Ok thanks folks, I'll go with Micro, which means I don't need to order a cutter.
But just as a side note, I was hoping to hear it from someone with an actual phone in their hand. I know it's been posted before (that it was Micro) but I've never heard an actual first hand account.

Moto X has a nano as well
according to the google support page on installing the sim card. (here)
Before you start using your phone, you may need to insert a micro SIM card. If no card is installed, the message “No SIM card” appears on the phone’s lock screen.

I've read that you can do this with most of the older GS3's, which mine is. How do I do it now that I have T Mobile sim?
Thanks!!!!

It may or may not work. My S3 worked on a GSM carrier. I'd call TMobile or chat with someone there and ask

Does it on my. Gfs att Sim in my s5 but still shows the right contacts. I believe if you have to store the plus sign to your contacts to get it to display you could try an option in contact optimizer

I can't do that to all my contacts (+800) because the most of them is international numbers....
It should be a way to take off this + sign....
Do you think the version phone can be loaded with att or stock rooms ?

But my ATT SIM card is from cricket, and I tried the sim with an unlock note 5 and it dose not show the + sing....
I hope someone can help us out of this problem, so we can use our note devices.
Btw, I red this issues in different forum with Galaxy 6 edge + as well....
