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 all, I am using a Verizon samsung galaxy s3 as stated in my title and the question I have is about using this cell phone on AT&T service. I have already added the AT&T apn and changed my network settings to GSM but when I recieve phone calls I no longer have a voicemail box. I downloaded the AT&T voicemail app and it says my number/acccount is invalid. I also reset my voicemailbox pin and tried again and still recieved the same message. I want to know if it is possible for me to get voicemail or if i should just give up on it?
Thanks for your help in advance!

That might be an question for AT&T, although it may not be setup correctly. You can always use youmail which is a free app for voicemail

I apologize if this is in the wrong forum. I'm trying to help a friend out by doing a little research.
A friend's daughter has a Note 5 on Verizon. (Long story short, friend's ex husband is supposed to pay for daughter's cell phone as part of divorce agreement. He did for a few months and then skipped town. Phone was cut off.) My friend has a phone on Cricket, and was wondering if she could use the Note 5 on Cricket. The local rep tells her that she cannot, that the phones are incompatible with Cricket's network, but I'm wondering if it is just their way of trying to get her to buy a new phone.
It's not a big deal if the Internet part of the phone works (her daughter mostly uses wifi anyway), but the phone part needs to work.
I'm using a Verizon note 5 on cricket. You get 4g lte but I'm having issues with mms. Sometimes mms will work and other times it won't
Did you just put the Cricket SIM in and go, or was there anything else involved?
I put in the cricket sim card and enter the apn.
Cool. My friend is going to go to Cricket and get the SIM kit and I'll hafta punch in the APN data for her later...

No LTE icon on my Galaxy Note 5 screen using Cricket network. The phone is brand new and factory unlocked but no way to get the LTE power from Cricket.

I had the same issue. I do get 4G LtE in some areas but not all the time
Also, if you see the carrier it says ATT not Cricket...
UPDATE: My understanding is that ATT/Cricket works in a different LTE band than Verizon. So that might be the issue. Not sure if you can change that in a non-rooted phone.
Have anyone found a fix for the mms other than the Playstore text app fixes

Yes call cricket (dial 611) and they will set up the APN for you. I have the Sprint note 5 on cricket and all mms works. Thanks
Do you have to unlock the Sprint Note 5 or just put the sim card in
Anyone successfully get LTE working on cricket? My roommates S5 gets LTE, but I'm only getting H+ this sucks!

More than likely it's probably because Verizon's network is CDMA and Crickets network is GSM and they are incompatible with each other. You can check and see if you can switch the bands but I don't know if it's possible to do that on the Verizon phones since they're locked down so tight..

I actually got it working! This is for anyone that sees this. I entered cricket apn, then I was selecting global, and gsm. I figured those were the 2 that I needed, so I went back and forth between the 2, getting more frustrated! I finally decided screw it, and selected CDMA/LTE and low and behold!!!! The 4GLTE signal popped right up! So it is working, mms too. I'm stoked.
Edit, after further testing, calls will not work while in CDMA mode. Sucks, but I think it was too good to be true. So here's what I came up with.....toggle CDMA/LTE mode, wait for 4GLTE to pop up, once it comes on, toggle back to global mode. 4GLTE will stay enabled, until a call comes in. After your call, H+ will pop in, just toggle the CDMA/LTE, and back to global. This is the only way I've found to have constant LTE.
It seems that to enable the LTE bands, they must be enabled by toggling the CDMA on. Weird but it is what it is, especially with not having root.

You have a sprint note5 on cricket? I've been trying to switch mine now and I'm having so many issues with sprint saying my phone is unlocked but when I try to add it to cricket with their card it says that there is no connection so they tell me my phone is not unlocked, can you help me??
I have a Tmobile Note 5 unlocked. I went to Straight Talk and im using there ATT sim card. Is it possible to use WIFI calling? I live in a dead zone where I need it. Or is there an application where I can still text and possibly receive phone calls?
So my primary sims is ATT, and my secondary is Verizon but I'm noticing Verizon texts dont come through. ATT and Verizon calls work fine. How can I fix Verizon Texts? Much appreciated.
