I just got the 1+6 coming from 1+1. I looked up the Sim card size of both, the 1 said micro the 6 is nano (foolish me didn't actually look in my 1) so I bought a new sim card straight talk pack and open the 1 after buying new sim to see I had a nano in there all along, haha the 1 can take micro or nano.
So my question is now I have 3 other simcards from straight talk, att TMobile Verizon can each of those sim cards by used to activate a different phone in the future?

I bought one of those packs. Activated mine with the AT&T sim and activated my son's phone with the T-Mobile sim. I personally wouldn't bother with the Verizon. The speeds straight talk gets from them sucks.

Thank you. That's what I figured but wasn't sure if activating one would void the others somehow, and agreed the Verizon card is in the trash, thanks again

Depends on what sized sim card it uses, as of right now I believe its supposed to use a nano sim same as iPhone 5/5s/5c .... your S3 uses a micro sim. It would be best to get a new nano sim (if it really uses this type) but it can be cut down

Crap. I didn't know that. Cutting the nano sim looks more difficult, and sanding it thinner as well. PITA.
I don't even know if my carrier has nano sims for purchase.
Att offers nano Sims and they are free from all att corporate stores. If you goto a privately owned store they might not stock them and if they do, they will charge you (probably between $10-$20)

According to the (leaked) service manual, the Nexus 5 will use a micro SIM, not a nano SIM.

That's great news! I'd much prefer to just pop in my current sim and be good to go. The service providers here are dumber than rocks, and I'm positive that if I asked for a nano sim, they'd have no idea what I was talking about.
I just got my One Plus One today, bought it from OP, and its not reading my sim card. I even want to AT&T to get a new one and still the same thing. Anyone have any advice?

Did you put the SIM card in correctly? The SIM tray is backwards in the OPO compared to pretty much every other phone.
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.

I have a Verizon LG G2 which has a micro SIM. I just got a Verizon Droid Turbo with a Nano SIM.
I have the working SIM in the LG. I know I can cut down the Micro SIM to Nano size. However, I'd like to have both SIMs have the same data on them. Is that doable without any equipment purchase? Of course I could just go to Verizion, but they would find some way to charge me something.
I was thinking there might be was some software app that could read the SIM info off the LG phone, I then write it back to the Turbo.
Anyhow, I'm a noob open to suggestions.

My carrier is Verizon. I have an individual plan with a 2 year contract. My phone is an LG G3.
I recently just bought a Nexus 6 right off of the Google Store. The Nexus 6 takes a nano Sim card and unfortunately for me my current Verizon sim card in my LG G3 is a micro sim.
After going back and forth with Verizon I realized there is no official way of getting a nano sim card for a Nexus 6 IMEI bought directly from Google.
My unnoficial options:
1. Get a sim card cutter off of Amazon and cut my current sim card and put it in my Nexus 6. Then sell my LG G3 on EBay. When the next user gives the IMEI to a Verizon rep will this cause a problem since technically the IMEI / Sim number combo is still on my account?
2. An employee at a 3rd party Verizon reseller said he could just activate a new nano sim card using an IMEI number from a dummy iPhone that he has laying around. If I go this route my account will have an iPhone and a G3 on it I guess. Would I have to worry if the employee does the same thing for someone else? Does Verizon keep track of IMEIs or just device names on peoples accounts? If I go this route I will also be selling my G3 on EBay.
Can someone who has knowledge on this topic please tell me which path they would prefer and why? I would like to know the downsides of each method.
I'm on Verizon and I always buy my phones outside of Verizon store (just because used phones are cheaper).
Option 1: As long as you did not report your phone as being stolen or your account is getting blocked due to non-pay, your ESN is clean and can be activated with Verizon on other account. Once you put activated SIM card into your new phone, the old phone is getting removed from your account automatically because Verizon will get your new phone's information.
Option 2: Should not have any issues too, because you are getting the new SIM card assigned on your account and re-assigned with your phone, not the phone used to activate it. The same as above, you'll see the old iPhone on your account until you put the SIM card into your phone.
