I'm going to try to trade in my og droid at best buy. They say 200 bucks off s6 edge plus for trading in any working smart phone. My og droid still works so what the heck right? Worth a try. Thing is I can't find any sim card. Did it have one? I have a feeling vzw didn't use sims until lte phones came along but I'm not sure. If there is something on the sim I want to be sure to take it out.

Out of interest of upgrading on the cheap, would it be possible to use a rooted motorola droid on a tmobile g1 data plan? Google didn't really help. Mostly info about wal mart selling the g1 (lul?).
Friend is looking to sell his droid, and if I can switch with little or no issues from my provider, I'd be a happy guy.
Thanks for your info. Keep your negativity to yourself, please.
(same goes for switching to an N1...)
I'm in the UK so this not first hand.
The Droid is on Verizon right? (The Euro GSM version is the Milestone) and Verizon uses CDMA?
T-Mo in the US uses GSM? That would mean the Droid doesn't have the hardware to ever run on T-mo nor AT&T regardless of software
Just noticed the droid doesn't have a sim card slot? So would an N1 be an option, or should I just suck it up and buy a new phone?
Guys,
I am looking for a pre-paid SIM card that is compatible with Verizon Motorola Droid MAXX. I just got the phone for free today and will terminate my contract because $63.00 per month is excessive.
Let me know! Thanks!
Unlock Droid Maxx
Yes, that's where the SIM is.
I suppose we should clarify what a phone being "SIM locked" means. To me it means that the phone is locked to SIMs from a particular carrier. In other words, if the Droids were SIM locked, they would only accept Verizon SIMs.
No, the phone is not SIM locked. There are plenty of reports of people who are using the Droid Ultra and Maxx on T-Mobile, AT&T, and in foreign markets. If you put a SIM in and it asks for an unlock code, the phone is locked to a carrier. If it doesn't, then the phone is not carrier locked. Since the Droids are marketed as global phones, we know that they are, by design, not SIM locked.

Can I use any carriers SIM card in my Droid MAXX phone? According to the post above, Droid MAXX is advertised as "Global" means it will work with CDMA/GSM phone, no?
Thanks.
Anyone?
The only Sim from what I have read through the forums is this

Hey, I know this is a bit older of a question. But I thought I would put it out there for anyone else looking.
I currently use a Verizon LG G2 and I have a 4G Page Plus sim card in it that is amazing! I would recommend anyone at least try Page Plus. They use Verizon towers has LTE and all you need is a Verizon 4G phone and a Page Plus SIM card (That can be bought on ebay for $5 or so)
I pay $30 a month for 1200 Minutes, 3000 Texts, and 500 MB of data. But they do have other plans.
I help a lot of friends and family move to Page Plus. So if anyone has any questions I would be glad to help...
Tmobile prepaid works just fine.

any GSM prepaid will work anywhere in the world with this phone.
Depends on what you want and who covers you well.
If you're in a good t-mobile area, then go with them. BUT heres the thing. If you're in a LTE area, it'll work great. If you're in a 4G area without LTE, check to see if you're in a "refarmed" market. If you are, then you'll get 4g/3g on 1900. If not, you'll be stuck on 2g data which sucks.
If verizon had great coverage, and lets assume you cancel without owing, then page plus is a good option...
What is your typical monthly usage?
63 bucks is actually pretty cheap for a typical verizon user.
I still have unlimited data with VZW. I just received an S5 from Amazon and need to use my existing SIM in the phone. I thought the SIM from my Droid Maxx was the same but.....it's not.
I know not to turn on the device with the provided SIM. I have a brand new in the wrapper VZW SIM in the correct size for the S5. It was sent to me when I was having issues with a Droid Razr Maxx HD. I never used it. Is it safe to use this SIM, call VZW and let them know I rec'd the SIM from them a while ago and see if they'll activate the phone with that one? Otherwise I would have to find an adapter for the Mini SIM to fit into the Micro slot which I would have to order.
I'd like to get my new phone activated ASAP. Any help would be appreciated.
Folks, just a question here as I have contemplated switching phones, I have someone who has a almost new HTC One M8 from Sprint and they are wanting to sell it relatively cheap, I'm with Verizon using a Iphone 5S with sim card, is it possible to purchase the phone and stick my sim card into it and having it work on the Verizon network and get LTE?
I know they are both CDMA carriers but wasn't sure.
Thanks in advance for any answers.

It *should* work but you may be limited to 3g
I have a problem, I don't like the maxx anymore, the new ones are out and I still don't have lollipop. Now to the question- I am still under a contract and still paying the phone off, if I buy the maxx 2 or nexus 5x can I just activate it right away or do I have to wait till my contract is up? I would be replacing my maxx
If it's verizon you just go to your online account to activate or manage phones and enter the phone and sim numbers to the new phone, same as if you lost your old phone, but a new one and assign the sim card to it. Simple
You don't even have to register the new phone, just pull the sim out of the old phone and stick it into the new one since the micro sim in the Maxx is the standard currently.

what Jonny Wong said will work as long as the device uses the same size sim
Maxx has a nano SIM fwiw.
Is everyone sure that will work though? If I take the sim out of my maxx and put it into the nexus it will definitely work? I though each sim was locked to a certain phone. @Johnny Wong @smokyngordo
it will work without even having to go to a store. They take the exact sim @JH1108. a sim is NOT locked to a phone.

Yes, took the sim out of my Maxx and put it right into my iPhone 6s, no issues.
