You can always buy one from Amazon. They are generally cheaper there and shipping shouldn't be too much. Buying an S3 was the best decision ive made in a while. Well from a smartphone standpoint.

Would you be able to tell me if the ones available in India are with the normal sim card or micro sim card, as if its normal, than I can buy it from India, Will appreciate your reply
THIS IS NOT SOME SORT OF AD. NEITHER AM I GETTING ANY MONEY BY SHARING THIS.
Those of you who still haven't bought the moto g or want to buy another as in my case. If you don't care about your operator MOTO G IS in ebay for 7355 only
You can manually MEID register it for 500 rupees.If you don't believe me check out this. A seller is offering it for 11,999.00.
Its a great deal. I am not getting any commission so its your decision.
Good Luck with that

No bro not at all.Also on this boost phone you have official cm11 support
Just got my Maxx Dev Ed direct from Motorola.
Came with nano SIM preinstalled.
Coming from a RAZR M with micro SIM so must activate nano SIM that came with Maxx.
Worried about losing my unlimited data on VZW as I have read elsewhere sometimes happens if you aren't careful about activating a new SIM.
Anyone who has done his personally and successfully please share the exact steps you took.
Thanks so much!
You can just trim down the micro sim to fit in the nano sim slot.
What about going the other way I want to use my nano Sim in my RAZR hd is this possible?

Thanks for the suggestion but I've had mixed success in the past with cutting SIM cards, even with great precision.
If anyone has successfully activated a new sim without losing their unlimited data plan on Verizon, please share how you did it.

You should not have a problem doing that if you use a "nano to micro SIM tray adapter" readily avialable on Amazon or eBay.

Okay was afraid to involve Verizon but I called them and lucked out with a tech support rep who knew what they were doing and got me all set up on the new SIM without making any changes to my account (read: unlimited data lol).
Had tried the website but it was asking for some authorization thing to add a new line even though I clearly had selected on a prior menu that I wanted to activate a new device on the same line.
Hope this helps others and thanks again for the responses..

To be honest, I think that the phone requires one of the new NFC SIMs in order to be activated on Verizon anyway. Cutting down the older micro-SIM probably would not have worked. That's the way it was when the phone first came out, anyway.

Works fine on a cut down Sim

Just pop into a corporate store if it's not working online. They can get you a new nano NFC SIM card and activate it for free, and the way Iconic works requires the rep to really go out of their way to change your data plan. Policy is only to change it if you've purchased a new phone with either a new contract or on Verizon Edge. Otherwise it's just an ESN swap. Have them set you up with Isis too (if you haven't already) so that both of you get something out of it, even if you don't end up using it.
I would not recommend SIM cutting, especially given how easy it is to get a hold of a new nano NFC SIM or to just use the one that came with the phone.
Dude. You paid for your phone. They can't take your data.
Get isis! You will get $50 free for signing up. Plus $15 off $25. Plus $1 off every contact less payment!
Sent from my unlocked consumer edition Motorola Droid Maxx xt1080m.
man all you gotta do is go to activate phone type in the new numbers and turn your new phone on with the sim card inserted that easy took me like 3 minutes
Just curious but what sim card size does the Verizon M8 use? I can't really seem to find that info anywhere and want to make sure before I get one as I'll be swapping between this and my current Note 3. Thanks for any info in advance.
Short and sweet. Nano Sim.
Thank you. Looks like I'll have to make a visit to a Verizon corporate store to get my current sim swapped out to a nano sim then if I so desire to use say my Note 3 get some kind of adapter. :good:

Myself I got mine mailed to me..it only took 2 days just a heads up. The VZW corporate store is on the worse intersection in Ann arbor so its like a 2 hour trip an I only stay 15 miles away. Smh
If your current sim is a micro there's a lot of templates available that you can download and use to cut your micro sim down to nano size.

Hi,
I found that there is way better price than wondemobile. But there is no customer reviews at all. Maybe some of you has some experience with them?
Thanks
Good morning.
I bought it from Eurocart3 at eBay. I was told they are the same as T-dimension.
Shipped from UK to Spain. Paid by PayPal and received in 6 days!!
Some guys on a Spanish forum bought directly from t- dimension without issues, some had a bit of delay in shipping.
Best regards

I still see Eurocart3 active and selling Items on Ebay ( also the N9860).
Just checked...
If you need references for T-dimension check on internet and search for "seguimiento N9860" and you will find the Spanish forum in which many have bought from them. You'll be able to read ( in Spanish though) good or bad feedbacks.
Kind regards

Well it seems that ebay is a better option. Because on website purchases they requires to much personal data ( copies of debit card, health care card ? idiotic
That is why I bought through eBay.
Some Spanish colleagues who bought directly at T-dimension had to send a copy of some kind of receipt in order to proof delivery address.
Some have been lucky and received within 1 - 2 weeks some a bit more... Some have had stock issues delaying delivery but in general all ok.
For sure eBay + PayPal was my better option as I did not know T-dimension before.
Hope it helps.
Brgds

Hi! No, I'm Spain and did not get them.
They ship from UK or Germany.
Something that does not have good feedback with Eurocart3 is that they take a lot of time to reply to any questions.
When I bought the phone, I was sent a tracking number from DHL which did no have any updates for 4 days, on the 5th it showed shipped and on the 6th I got it at home.
Best regards!
I bought from them my Snapdragon version of Ultra SM-N9860 via eBay.
Seller name is gadget892. Took 12 days to get it (Edinburgh in Scotland)
DHL tracking was not showing anything for the first few days it got added.
2-3 days to reply to a message. Happy at the end, the only issue is I didn't do enough research and didn't know that this version won't work on any 5G network in UK. I don't understand why as it used to be just a matter of checking bands, now it is far more complicated for my small brain.

I've had absolutely no luck with Google Pay. I was using it on my Note 8 for years and since getting the Note 20 Ultra, it won't complete a contactless transaction.
I've been reading about people in other countries with Google Pay not working with their SIM card. Could you please tell me which network you're using and if your SIM is in position 1 or 2?
I have a feeling that my giffgaff SIM could be responsible, since it's a MVNO and the HK CSC seems to treat it like an O2 SIM.
Thank you

My SIM is in SIM 1 slot, using EE network. Don't really know much about SIM cards affecting contactless payments. I thought this payment method should work even when you are offline with just NFC active.
I have N9860OZS1ATI3, is it any different to yours ?

Same firmware as you.
So there are three different NFC methods for payment, I remember back in Google Wallet days you needed a compatible SIM card with a secure element to activate contactless payments.
The options now are: SE SIM card, Android operating system or Embedded Secure Element.
Google Pay support asked if I had a SIM card with a secure element and when I said I wasn't sure they told me to select HCE method with is Host Card Emulation, I suspect that's the same as the Android operating system option in Samsung.
Regardless, none of it works. I've tried them all, removing cards, switching NFC method then adding the cards back in. I suspect I'll need to stick a 'proper' (as opposed to MVNO) SIM card in, reset the whole phone and try again.
Thank you for confirming that it's possible to get this working though!
Remember two years ago I tried Google Pay on uncertified Honor Note 10 that I imported from Wondamobile.
None of my cards worked on it for wireless payment (tried HSBC, Loyds and Amex) apart from Monzo bank that worked straight away. Note sure if there are other factors related to what bank works and what doesn't.

What do you mean by "uncertified" .9860 is certified by Google so no problem with that (if it works in you region, and don't have mess around with addreses etc)

He was talking about an Honor Note 10, not the N9860.
Anyway... I put an O2 SIM into the second slot and Google Pay needed me to add my cards again and now they work!
It's confusing because I can't seem to find a common denominator as to why this problem is occuring.
SIM1: giffgaff - Google Pay doesn't work
SIM2: O2 - Google Pay works (and presumably would work in SIM1 also)
So you'd think the giffgaff SIM is the problem but Google Pay works in my Note 8 with the same giffgaff SIM. Also, Google support asked me to switch the secure element from SIM to HCE (or Android system as it seems to be called in the Note 20) but that didn't work, nor did embedded secure element.
The only thing that kind of makes sense is the fact that giffgaff is a MVNO and the TGY firmware thinks it's O2; perhaps a CSC from outside the UK doesn't recognise UK MVNOs which leads to some sort of conflict?
