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

Supposedly their one number solution works with any carrier.
https://explore.t-mobile.com/digits-landing
Not sure how it works with any carrier when the sign up asks specifically for your Tmobile phone number? Lol I did however read about the beta sign up page leaking people's accounts by a glitch in the system. https://www.xda-developers.com/t-mobile_digits_security/

I went to the site and started to opt in for the beta. It presented me a 10 digit number that was not one of my several T-Mobile lines. I went no further.
About 10 minutes later I went back to the site. They have changed the sign up process. You now just sign up (no data exchange) and they will get back to you if you are selected.
Hope it works as I have 2 smartwatches and a phone line on T-Mobile, plus I have a work phone on Verizon. This could make it easier for me to use one number and not have to worry about setting up call forwarding on multiple devices.

According to Engadget, the app will work with the big 4 carriers. They're not sure about specifics yet.
Hmm well that might be cool then!
Just signed up on mine. My Pixel XL and Gear S3 now use/share the same number
Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
I'm not certain that this is the cause, however, since activating Digits, my S3 doesn't seem to want to connect to the mobile device through the cellular network any more. I used to get all the notifications and now -- nothing. Anyone else experiencing this?
I can't seem to activate the "Remote connection" on the Gear App, so I'm not convinced that the problem is with Digits.
Any thoughts?

Quick update: Much as I hated to do it, a device reset on the S3 and a reinstall of the Gear app on the phone solved it. My guess is that the phone and the S3 device exchanged pertinent info from the esim card that changed when the phone number changed upon enrollment in Digits. Redoing the whole thing, I presume, forced this new information into the equation and solved it toute suite.
If anyone has any additional insight, I'm all ears, but I'm good to go now.

I apologize if this was already made aware or confirmed but I can confirm that Google does allow the Pixel 3xl esim to be used by other carriers other than project fi. I successfully got it working with tmobile.
For those with tmobile here is the instructions on how to get esim working with them.
https://www.reddit.com/r/tmobile/co...es_how_to_activate/?utm_source=reddit-android
And here is the screen shot of me utilizing tmobile as my esim.
Thanks for all of the xda community helping out to make things possible for our phones that many of the carriers would not allow us to do.
If you insert a physical SIM from another carrier, can you receive calls on both phone numbers? Or do you have to choose which single carrier you're on an any one time?
I wish this phone could do both at once, but unfortunately I have to switch back an fourth. I read somewhere that they had a rom or hack that could on one of the older pixels, but that is not confirmed and I don't know if it really existed or if I was reading what I wanted to read.

Did anyone try to activate eSim on Verizon?
Curious if visual voicemail in the phone dialer app is working for you? I'm having an issue getting it to work on one of my pixels. I've swapped some in my phone and determined it's the pixel/line having issues... might give this a try but wanted to make sure visual voicemail works for you.

For me, I had to log into my VZW account and disable all my VM related stuff. Made a test call and my VVM works flawlessly on my dialer app. I don't have eSim because I'm using VZW. Maybe OP can answer this if you are referring to eSim.
Would you guys know if Sprint support the eSIM on Pixel 3 XL?
Thank you.

On the box. Or Sim status Eid.
using esim only works on other carriers for the unlocked phones. eid is hidden from verizon versions. you can try to remove the physical sim on those. and also most the big carriers support it. it was originally for iphones but they have problems with theirs. mine works great on tmobile. tmobile, sprint, verizon and at&t support it. i had to call in three times till the last rep just did it. if you have to explain it, the rep doesnt know what they are doing. call back and get a rep that knows what is up.
I have just flased Android Q DP1. Tapping on "add carrier", no QR code scanner is shown. It jumps to an error page directly. May I confirm if everyone has the same issue?

I've always downloaded Samsung Visual voicemal from APK mirror for all unlocked samsung devices, even my note 10. I installed it fine on the note 20 but when i try to open it it says not supported. Any idea for a visual VM program? Voicemail is practically useless without VVM.
I can't find the Verizon VVM that is compatible either. I'm looking for the APK if anyone figures it out.
Transferred Tmo VVM app via Smart Switch from previous S10+. Working fine on unlocked N20+
I downloaded version 12.1.00.35 from the Galaxy store on my US unlocked Ultra and it works just fine. I am AT&T for cell service , just moved sim from note 9 to this phone.

not sure if this is applicable for your situation but, i have a note 20 ultra unlocked (US Version) using google fi.
I downloaded the google phone app from APKMirror then installed (one of the newer apk's), set as default, then i installed an "android go" version of the phone app from APKMIrror as well, and now i have visual voicemail, it stuck after a reboot and is working for visual voicemail (transcript appears and seems accurate). It is a bit funky as it hangs when i try to play voicemails over the earpiece but it seems like playing it via speaker phone is fine. There is also a toast notification that pops up every time i open the phone app that says the device is not compatible and phone calls may not work properly, but it seems fine. YMMV!

Have you tried downloading carrier service from the play store? I have an unlock version with Verizon sim and visual voice-mail works. Thats the only thing I can think of that I added

How did you get it to work?
I didn't do anything, I mean, I put my sim card in the phone, turned it on, logged in with my google account, did the software update they pushed, rebooted. etc..... I did dial into my voice mail and checked everything and it was working, then I opened visual voice mail and it worked, I didn't do anything to make it work.

I'm having a weird issue with my unlocked N20U on verizon. I'm not getting text messages sometimes. Most of the time when I send them they go through, but I do not receive all of them. Does anyone have any ideal what I might can do to fix this?
The few things I've done so far are:
Switched to Samsung's message app over Google's. That seemed to work at first.
I switched to LTE/CDMA in network settings.
I downloaded Google Carrier services which probably does nothing but I did it anyway.
I don't know what else I can do.
Is your phone's date and time correct? Try setting your date and time manually instead of auto.

Yes, it's correct. I haven't set it to manual yet but I will test it.
I'm going to contact Verizon and see if perhaps a new sim will fix it. I have no idea what could be the issue. I would understand better if it just didn't work at all, but the fact it does work sometimes and not others is strange.
My son was having similar problems until he enabled the RCS under messages. I think he was using Google Messages, but I think it can be done under Samsung's messaging app as well. Hope that helps.
Edit: same scenario, VZW with the unlocked version of the device.

Idk if you've resolved it or contacted them yet. Either way if you need the sun I recommend googling 5G verizon sim and clicking the link to the verizon page for it. I contacted a few reps and they told me I couldn't order a new one online but had to go in the store. Store is too far so shipping is easier. I was able to select the 5G sim for the line.
I know if the phone doesn't register with their servers properly, you won't get access to their CDMA bands. Which results in the same issues as if you have like a OP7P on Verizonm you can send but not receive messages. You have to have them provision the line as CDMA-LESS so it sends your SMS over LTE as well, and viola it works. (OP7P doesn't have the proper CDMA radio to access it, but the OP8P does but it still doesn't work unless Verizon sells you the phone). Worth a shot. SMS works on my unlocked N20U on Verizon but my line was previously already set to CDMA-LESS as I came from a OP7P.

I did a factory reset last night and it seems to be working better today but I still experienced issues. I'm going to get a new sim. Now if I could just get the chat service on Verizon's website to work. I might have to call them because the chat service seems broken.
Do you have a direct link for the 5g sim page? I searched google but didn't see it. I'll keep looking.
[edit] I found the page, but it's broken. It loads and then goes blank. I tried it in 3 different browsers and it does the same thing in all of them. I always have trouble with Verizon's site. It's complete garbage.
http://https://www.verizon.com/support/4g-sim-card-faqs/ That's the link I used and under section 4. I logged into my account and it had me select the line. I have been having issues with Verizon support and account pages for the past month or so as well.

Yea, that's what I found. When I get to the slect a line part it shows while it's loading but then the whole page goes blank. I've tried 4 different browsers now and the same happens on them all. Verizon needs a new web admin because their site is broken and has been for ages. Crazy that such a large company could have such a broken site. Now I'm going to try the app. If that doesn't work I guess I'll call them tomorrow.
