Sorry Man. The Nexus 5 does not work on Verizon. They have to whitelist the device on their network and they have not done that. You could sell it for around $100 and buy a 5x for around 300 I think. 5x and 6p work on Verizon.

I know the Nexus 5 has LTE support, but I just wanted to be sure before I purchase it, that it'll be usable on Verizon. Always wanted a Nexus device!

Definitely a no go on Verizon. Pretty much everyone offers LTE now, and the Nexus 5 works with all of them... except Verizon.

I bet Little Red will get it next year... that's one of the reasons I switched carriers.
Seriously. Thanks guys! I was an inch away from buying it. Hopefully Verizon pulls the stick out of their asses and brings the Nexus 5 over. I get the feeling they just don't want a device of such a caliber to be sold through them at such a low price. Needless to say however, if the Nexus 5 comes over to Verizon, I'll have to retire my HTC DNA. Love it, but the Nexus 5 is such a sexy phone >.<

I ordered 2 nexus 5s and going to play ETFs and never touch Verizon again

So, what's the basis for the incompatibility? Is the Nexus 5 just flat-out incapable of working on Verizon if I were to plug in a Verizon SIM?
Will Google have to make another version of the 5, or is this something that can be rolled out with a firmware update?
I've given up trying to understand Verizon's customer satisfaction strategy, but want to understand the nuts and bolts of why it won't work on their network.

Yeah, I bought a 32GB version today too only to find out that it will not be compatible on VZW. Luckily, my contract is up pretty soon, I think. I plan on going to my VZW store and finding out the exact date. But yeah, I'm hopping off of VZW as soon as possible. I'm so sick of their nonsense. AT&T Straight Talk, here I come!
Hey all. This may sound like a noob question but I've been on sprint for YEARS and I'm totally new to t mobile and gsm devices (I'm thrilled about the change tho). Anyhow, I'm wondering, what's the process to activate a nexus 5 that I buy thru Google play onto t mobile? T mobile hasn't started selling it yet and I'd like to order it NOW. I already have a t mobile Sim card and it fits/works with the nexus 4. What else besides just popping the Sim card in would I have to do?
Thanks in advance!

That's about it, pop it in and turn it on. Should work right off the bat.

H*ly cr*p! Are you serious? It's that easy? Why the hell would anyone wait for t mobile to start selling it? Also, if I get the device from Google BEFORE t mobile starts selling it, you think it'll still work on the network?
Thanks a lot.

Yes it will work even if tmobile has not started selling it yet.

This is awesome news. I just have ONE more concern. If it's not shipping for weeks or something, will Google charge my credit card right away, or not until it ships?
And finally, what's the return policy? I don't wanna return it but if for whatever reason I can't sell my note 3 I may have to.
Thanks again guys!

They will not charge you until it actually ships.
They have a 15 day return policy, but if there is nothing wrong with it you'll pay return shipping.
I ordered it. Yay!!!!! I've never ordered a nexus device straight from Google. So exciting!!!!

Hi i was just wondering if anyone knows how to get the nexus 5 fully working with verizon network. Thinking about ordering one tonight. Thanks in advance.
Seriously?
There are several threads on this topic already. A mod is not going to like this.
Answer, No.
Bro search before posting. There's already a thread on this. And so far it's cr*p. I bought an N5 to use it on Verizon. I'm gonna a try a couple tricks(don't ask please) and if it doesn't work then I'm off to Tmo or sell it for the Moto X.

Oooh yah I felt really dumb about that to be honest. :/
I got frustrated with my Gnex for a sec and I'm like screw this I'm gonna save others from defects from the Nexus 5 and then made the thread without any thought. But the other defect thread isn't very organized(at least at glance). The OP isn't updated with all the defects. U literally have to search through 50+ pages of post.

So it doesn't look good for the N5. I'm selling my 32gb unlocked sealed in the box. Thinking about HTC one or MotoX?

Of course he didn't. There are so many people that like to think that people will worship them fro trying but they actually have no idea where to start.this is a classic example, never a reply, saying it worked or didn't.

Will Walmart be selling the nexus 5? How would that even work? ( i still have the old plan *classic plan*) when i did my last upgrade this year (one time payment) $168.99 for the galaxy S4 (T-mobile) and i continued with the old plan now my mom is due for an upgrade I'm gonna give her my s4 and use the upgrade for the Nexus 5... But has anyone heard anything about Walmart carrying the Nexus 5?
Thanks in advance.. =]

My guess is that they will. I'd say look for something around Christmas or maybe black Friday.

Just saw Nexus 5 boxes in a Black Friday commercial but they didn't specifically mention it.
Just called my local Walmart and they said they don't do T-Mobile contract anymore... Just pre-paid... ={ but they said they have no idea about the nexus 5... Has anyone else called??

I actually work at Walmart. No, we won't be carrying the Nexus 5. If we do, it would only be through Sprint.
looks like verizon user are getting a refund show up on their account and reset upgrade eligibility automatically
Are we getting the same treatment from sprint?
the last time the refund was fast but it took 3 hours on the phone over 5 different calls to get the upgrade reset.
This is the only way they are getting mine back.

I just swapped my note for an s7 Edge. On a samsung fast wireless charger, my new edge runs hotter than my replacement note ever did. I'm wondering if I made a mistake and should have just held onto it. For those that swapped for an Edge, how much money did you get back? I only got about $53, and was told that $25 would be credited to my account, the rest went to taxes.
But I'm thinking of returning the Edge, use my old HTC m8 H/K until something else comes along.
That sounds a bit messed up you'd have to pay taxes on the credit, since that difference was already taxed during the original purchase.
You just got that amount double taxed...
