Sorry, bro - no problems here. Kicking on all cylinders on VZW with my N6 as we speak. Only "drawback" is no visual voicemail support, but that's not a big deal as I just use Google Voice for that until VZW releases a VVM apk for the N6.

All I did was activate the SIM ahead of time via the phone # provided. Only then did I pop it in the phone. Silky smooth ever since.

I can't seem to get Google Voice to work as my voicemail while on VZW it sucks. Haven't been able to for like my last 3 phones.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spyder91:
That's odd, what issue do you run into? The app just enables call forwarding to your Google Voice number for missed calls, then you go into your phone settings and switch to Google Voice instead of "My Carrier" for voicemail. Is it the initial set-up from the app that fails? You can enable the forward manually if so: https://support.google.com/voice/answer/165656?hl=en (then go to the Verizon Wireless section.)

I am on Verizon and have used it since my original Droid without any issues, good luck.

You're right. I called and requested a sim for a "Moto X that a family member gave me". Sure enough they sent me a nano sim that wasn't activated. But, all I had to do was call Verizon and ask them to activate the new sim, and when they asked what phone it was for I just said "the same phone". I slapped it in a sim adapter and used it for few weeks it in my Galaxy Nexus while waiting for my N6 to arrive.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toaplan:
The nano SIM that Verizon sends you for free will actually fit in a lot of phones that use micro SIM slots (not A SIM tray). You just have to fit it in the right spot. You can activate it on your current phone (mine was a Note 3) and then pop it in your Nexus. No adapter or cutting needed.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droiddude228:
As many people have said, I had no issues getting the SIM from verizon but it would not activate inside the Nexus 6. After a failed attempt to activate the sim in my brother's Moto X (gen 1) I got out the scissors and a few minutes later I was sliding in the sim tray and enjoying my unlimited data.

P.S. I did notice it does a subscription check for wifi hotspot, is that with all carriers?

When trying to use Google voice for vm, go to the actual Web page to do your setup. You might want to disable vm on your number by dialing *73. Then activate it by dialing *72 and your gv number.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NexusLush:
I took my LGG2 and Nexus 6 to Verizon. Was told there were "four people ahead of me" (they had three people in the store doing this job, and 1-2 actually helping the "four people ahead of me). 45 minutes later I explained that I needed a nanosim for my new phone. They said they couldn't activate it or give me one. I said I would be willing to buy and immediately return any phone that takes a nano sim. They said they couldn't sell me a phone they knew I was going to return. They gave me scissors to cut the card up, and I was able to get it in but I don't think it's a perfect fit because the sim tray is not 100% flush with the phone. It's very close.

I hate Verizon and their stupid policies. I have unlimited data grandfathered with them and find that the network works better than the others in most of the places I go. But seriously, F Verizon.

Try going to an apple store and tell you need a new sim card for you Verizon Iphone 6 because the current sim card you have is not working right.

P.S. It worked for me to getting a Sprint sim card so i dont know about Verizon
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GMoGoody:
I have heard the Iphone SIms are a different version and will not work on the Nexus 6 for VZW. It is recommended to ask for a sim for an M8 or Moto X 2014. Needs to be a 4FF-NFC. That is what I did and has been working flawlessly. Somebody correct me if I am wrong.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KainamHD:
You would only need the NFC capable SIM if you want to run Softcard (ISIS).

Elsewise, just a regular 4FF SIM is sufficient.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Konfuzion:
Maybe someone can offer some quick input. I called verizon and ordered a sim card for the moto x and it came in the mail. The nexus 6 is going to be used on a new phone line on my account, I have to go to a verizon store tomorrow and get the line set up. Can I activate the sim I got in any of my verizon phones and then put it in my nexus (if I do that does it bind the sim card to that phone line)? Or should I take the sim and my nexus to verizon and activate it in a moto x and then return it?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zetsumeikuro:
People it's A LOT easier than everyone in this thread is making it. Here's what you need to do to get a nano sim in the Verizon store without a hassle. Call customer care ahead of time 800-922-0204 just keep hitting option 0 till it asks you for your password. Just tell the rep you need to add a 4G dummy phone on your line so the store can give you a nano sim with you go in. Should take the rep a few minutes to add. Also you will probably need to remove Asurion on that line since Verizon doesn't carry the N6 and the warranty somehow interferes with the sim only activation according to the rep. Now head down to the store and tell them you need a nano sim and to do a sim only activation and profit. No need to do a bunch of stupid bull**** just to get a nano sim... I was in and out of the store in a few minutes which my N6 working on all ends. Enjoy. (This is for people that don't have access to a device that uses a nano sim to add to their account). Obviously the easiest method is to already have a device that uses a nano sim on Verizon :p.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pointman_12:
after all the crap I had to put up with at 2 different stores and with customer service, I can tell you from experience to just cut your current sim to nano size (download template after googling) and insert it into your nexus 6...boom...works fine...Verizon may have the best network but everything, and I mean everything else about them sucks...it's amazing how many people at their stores and their own customer service have a damn clue or any knowledge of current phones...they are there to sell you overpriced plans, over priced accessories, and the bloated crap phones in the stores...love my nexus 6 so far...unlocked, rooted, stock 5.0 with decrypted kernel...it runs great...
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shelooga:
success story here

i cut my sim when i got the phone. easy. but its me, so its in the back of my mind thats its just not exactly perfect, even though it is.

so i just called them; 'hey i think i may want an iphone(ms. krabappel: ha!), or possibly the rumored nexus like device for verizon that needs a nano sim. i have an adapter and have cut my card already but i think i may be having data issues'

after much hold, and a transfer back to the main line, then apologies for such, no fuss no muss, theyre sending it today
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PilotML:
Obviously being honest with Verizon doesn't work. Told them I bought an N6 and got nowhere with them (told me to go to the store for a card). Called right back and said I bought an M8 full price and now they are shipping a nano sim right out.

However after reading thru I think I'm just going to cut my current micro sim card down. My wife has an iPhone 5c I guess I could use to activate it but it sounds like cutting it down is much easier.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zetsumeikuro:
You two probably will want to call in and make sure the nano sims are truly being shipped out. Because the Verizon system only allows them to ship a sim of a device that's on your line. Say if you have a phone that uses micro they can only ship micro out to you etc. If indeed they didn't send out anything to you just go by what I posted up a few posts.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PilotML:
I'm not sure. I've read that other people have had them shipped successfully. I'll find out in a few days. Worse case is they don't send it and I cut down my micro.

I also bought a cutter for a few bucks on eBay JIC.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teebiss:
Having read numerous forum posts about the difficulty in getting a N6 to work on Verizon I knew I was in for a battle. However, it turned out to be easier that I thought.

First, a little backstory. I am a current Verizon customer using a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (which uses a micro SIM).

I bought my N6 from the Motorola website on 12/11. I immediately called Verizon and told them that I bought an iPhone 6 from the Apple website and that I needed a nano SIM. They said no problem and shipped me one free of charge.

The next week my nano SIM arrived and my N6 the day after. I put the nano SIM in my N6 and predictably it did not work. I then took it to an official Verizon store where two agents made multiple phone calls and tried for 45 minutes to get it to work. They finally gave up and told me, "...sorry, but this phone is not going to work on the Verizon network, you should return it and ask for your money back..." Uh huh, right. Thanks V-guys.

When I got home I called Verizon again and this time I told the rep I had an iPhone 6 that I was trying to get activated. The rep was hopelessly clueless and again, predictably, they could not get it to work.

Finally I insisted that I needed to talk to someone in tech support. She relented and cold transferred me.

Bob in tech support answered the phone. I told Bob the truth, that I had bought a N6 from the Motorola website, that I had a new Verizon nano SIM. Bob said, "...no problem, I know just what to do..." I read some numbers to Bob, I restarted my phone a couple of times, and BAM! it worked. Voice, text, data, everything. It's been about 10 days now and my N6 has been working perfectly on the Verizon network.

If you ever need to talk to someone in tech support at Verizon, particularly about your new N6, I sure hope you get Bob.

Oh yeah, and no Verizon bloatware to be found on my phone (yet).

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScottIsMyName:
I currently have a Galaxy S3. I also have a nano sim from an M8 I used to use on my line. I will be getting a N6 shortly. Will I be able to use the nano sim I'm not using right now (it's not "active" on any line), or should I use a sim cutter to use my current S3's sim with (that is active on my line). Just not sure if the new sim cards need to be activated before using.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rufflez2010:
I lied my ass off. Spoke to the manager at the store (I got lucky, I didn't intend to have to speak to him, he was just the available person at the counter). Told him I was on my way to purchase a Moto X 2014 Used in order to keep my unlimited data. Told him I needed the NanoSIM + NFC (I don't know if that actually mattered, but a few posts above me got the iPhone one without NFC and needed some extra steps to get it working... YMMV). He explained to me that he would spoof in an IMEI number (something like a bunch of 9's or something... he knew what to do). Explained my phone would stop working that moment (yadda, yadda, yadda). Walked out of store with Nano sim + NFC, got home, put it in my nexus 6... profit.

Has anyone enabled Verizon's VoLTE/Advanced calling 1.0 on Nexus 6 via using droid turbo or iPhone 6 as a dummy phone?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vagabonder:
Just to add another data point … I'm month-to-month on Verizon still on the unlimited data plan using a HTC One (M7). I cut my Micro SIM down to Nano SIM using a tool from Amazon and put it into a Nexus 6 just purchased from a local T-Mobile store. Bingo!

As noted by others, a SIM previously activated on a phone recognized by the Verizon system will work in the N6.

So I'm on the Verizon network with unlimited data on a pure Android Nexus 6 from T-Mobile. Happy!

I cut the micro Sim from my S4 and it works perfectly. I am going on 2 weeks with no problems.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwned3:
I ordered a sim cutter from amazon and cut down the one in my old s4. Haven't had an issue yet. Once Verizon actually starts carrying the nexus I may go ahead and order a new one but why if it's working flawlessly? On a different note. I have noticed some Verizon users are reporting data issues when flashing ROMs? Anyone ran into this in their adventures?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jah Ruggz:
I was on the phone with Verizon sales and customer support last night for almost two hours. I tried to add a new line and then receive a nano Sim card but was unsuccessful. I spoke with four different people who said I would need the actual device on order to send a Sim card. I'll be getting my N6 on Monday. At that point I'll go to my local Verizon store and see if I have any success.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmh714:
It took me all of 5 minutes to get VZW to send me a new nano SIM for my NX6 that is to be delivered on 1/5. Not sure why everyone has issues, but suspect its the "intelligence" of the person you get on the other end.

I told them I purchased a new NX6 direct from Moto and that I needed a new nano SIM since my current device uses a Micro SIM. They said np, and its due to deliver tomorrow...YMMV
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jah Ruggz:
I think the issue I'm having is I need to add a new line and I don't have a dummy device to use for the provisioning.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkpod:
same thing that happened to me. my only thing is, when it arrives, will there be any problems activating it? I currently have a micro sim for my s3/razr maxx. Will activating the nano sim be a problem if i have an active micro sim for those phones? will i need to use the nano sim until i get the new phone, then? i thought i might need to use a sim adapter until my nexus 6 arrived.

still nervous about the whole "verizon not officially supporting" this phone and all that.

i figure if it doesn't work with them activating the nano sim i'm receiving, then i can always get a sim cutter.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmh714:
It should be easy and painless but if your not "switching" from one device to another then that will cause issues. You can ONLY have one active SIM unless you add lines. So you will NOT be able to use both devices for cellular service at the same time unless you add the line.

For me, I am switching phones from the 926 and Micro SIM to the NX6 and nano SIM so it should be easy-peasy. Get VZW to deactivate old device SIM and Activate new device SIM.

Verizon supports it they just dont sell it....yet
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkpod:
Thanks, hopefully they sell it and it will be official! And hopefully it will be the same exact version, but that might be going too much :)

I order my N6 from Motorola and it will be here next week. I also have a nano to micro Sim adapter. I was wondering would I be able to activate a nano sim using the micro adapter with my galaxy S4? Has any one tried this? I plan on cutting my micro down, but would like a second option.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acadapter:
This method is also supported. I have gone straight from a cut-down micro sim (from my Note 3) to a NIB Nexus 6 and I have also done a fresh nano sim, in the micro sim adapter - to my Note 3 - activated it - then put it in a Nexus 6. Both methods will work just fine.

How are people getting away with using a friend\family members phone to provision the Sim card. I was under the impression the IMIE would need to be deactivated from Verizon before it could be used with a new service? Please advise
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eszoteric:
I have a question.

I just called Verizon and had them send me a 4FF NFC Nano Sim by telling them I was buying a HTC One m8. I currently have a GS3 and also have a nano-to-micro sim adapter. Should I be able to take the nano SIM card and pop it in my GS3, activate it, then pop it in my N6?

From reading this thread people seem to be borrowing a friends Nano-sim device to activate the new SIM.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demarcmj:
I want to do this same exact thing. My only concern is that if I mess something up I might lose my unlimited data. Does anyone have any experience from that perspective?

Also, does activating the nfc-enabled SIM in a phone that doesn't officially support it somehow disable the nfc components? Or will all that work fine once it's in my N6?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eszoteric:
I don't see how they could take Unlimited Data from you for this swap. You didn't sign a new contract.

My gut says the NFC part of the sim won't be affected because it's hardware but I could be completely wrong.

When does your N6 deliver?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demarcmj:
You're probably right. I'm just paranoid.

It arrives on Monday.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eszoteric:
Haha. We all are. Mine also comes Monday and I have Unlimited.

I think I'm just going to give it a shot and try to activate it from the GS3. My feeling is that worst case scenario it doesn't activate and I pop in my old SIM or something. Worst case I can just go to verizon and have them fix my Micro Sim if something weird happens there. Either way the N6 should be fine.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demarcmj:
To everyone who has cut their micro SIM into a nano: Did you have to shave it down at all? From what I've read on the internet nano SIMs are not as thick and some cutting guides have you get out some sandpaper and thin it out a little.

I'm not sure if this is required our just something OCD perfectionists worry about. I don't want to jam something in my new N6 that won't fit or won't come back out again.

Thoughts?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oneandroidnut:
You cannot do that. Verizon store will not activate the wrong SIM card size for the device. I took my dads Droid Maxx into manager at verizon activated new nano for it on my line. Activated my note 4 with a new micro sim. Then i took the nano sim out of maxx once it was activated on my line and popped in nexus 6. worked flawlessly. had data and voice calls/text etc within a minute. Activated new nano sim for my dads maxx and took nano out of nexus 6 and put in sim adapter and back into note 4 and works liked a charm. now i have a nano and an adapter to go to any phone out there.

As far as i know that is the only way to take in a device that takes a nano sim and activate on your line. You cannot take a micro sim phone in with an adatper and get a nano sim for it the verizon system wont allow it. it knows what sim the phone takes and will only allow that one sim size to be activated. This thread is way way way too long for such a simple thing

Also do not try to type the nexus 6 imei into verizon system. it will not allow it. once your nexus 6 is on your line it will say unauthorized device or non vzw device (same as demo units)

This is not true. In store you cannot get the nano activated for a micro sim, but you surely can over the phone. I have done this two different ways in the past two weeks. First time, i called customer support and told them i was getting a m8 which needed a nano. Card was shipped for free, 2 day fedex. I recieved it, popped it in my nano to micro adapter. It wouldn't activate on its own. I called verizon and gave them my LG G3 (which takes a micro) IMEI and they did their magic on their end. Worked fine. The second time, best buy gave me a nano sim. Same process of calling them and they made it work again. I will note that the first time they try to put it in, it won't work. They have to enter it a second time and it worked fine.

Since my phone came today, 5 days early, I didn't have a nano sim yet. Went to Best Buy and the guy at the mobile counter got out their sim cutter and cut my micro into a nano for me.
