Since we won't get sim cars until Wednesday or latter (unless a repair story has one). I'm guessing voice and 3g data will still work since it only uses the same for LTE authorization. Is that correct?

SUCCESS!!!  Once I had the right place, it went quick.  Here is what you need to do to get a SIM mailed to you: Call 1-888-226-7212 At first voice prompt, Enter your phone number or confirm that you

Failure. I followed Robert's directions and they told me that Google has told them that the SIM kit will be shipped with the phone, and she wanted me to wait until I receive the phone to be sure because she doesn't want to charge me $15 for a SIM.

 

Somebody somewhere doesn't know what they're talking about. I'm also skeptical about international services providing a SIM for use within the US. Dunno.

Just curious, does your item description look like mine in the photo above? I hope they're sending me the right thing :P

 

I'm not able to find the order after signing into my account.  Where is it listed for you?

Rep kept calling it a Samsung Nexus and insisted that it uses a standard sim.

 

Trust me, you do not want a standard SIM.  Otherwise, you get something this size...

You would have better luck trying to use that as a method of payment than getting it to fit inside the Nexus 5.

I was told that I couldn't get one because the system isn't updated and that Google is suppose to have them with the phone. I don't know who the believe.

 

Google doesn't know what carrier you're going to use.  Are they going to send a SIM for every carrier in America?  You have to get the SIM from the carrier, just like with the Nexus 4.

What is the technical name for the sim that's slightly larger than a micro sim?

I've got one of those in my S4. Someone earlier in the thread said it wouldn't work. The Sprint rep on the phone said it wouldn't fit. I don't think that means what she thinks it means.

I found it.  However, there is no hyperlink on the Order Number to open anything.  So it just says:

wouldn't that defeat the purpose of using the Nexus 5 as the method of payment?

A Micro SIM is a Micro SIM.  Sprint just needs to link it to your account.

Correct.  A micro SIM is 3FF, not 2FF.

That's what I thought. What about the talk about USIMs (UICC?) and CSIMs? I believe it was mentioned that they're all UICC now and will run either the USIM "app" or the CSIM "app" and present that to the phone, but it's definitely not my area of expertise (unless it runs Check Point in the background).

On the phone with them now... They cannot figure out what kind of SIM to send me...

 

The Nexus 5 uses a Micro SIM according to what I have read. 

 

Waiting for a super to answer...

      Uploaded data without issues on Friday. Now with the latest update I am getting "Cluster #1 skipped: invalid file format detected. File exported for inspection." Doing same with all other clusters. Did this on 4 phones in a row.  Seems to work on s24 ultra just fine. On s21 ultra it says "web data upload failed. No data to send" although 8800 records were displayed. Now gives same error as above. I have not sent the data from 3 other phones.  All should have latest update.

      SignalCheck - Android app to monitor your Wi-Fi/2G/3G/4G LTE/5G-NR signal strengths

      By mikejeep · Posted

      After several months of testing, an update to SignalCheck Pro is rolling out on Google Play. It may take up to 48 hours to become available for download. Notable changes include: Added option to display site notes for NSA 5G-NR cells. Enabling this new option (Preferences > Display Settings > Show NSA 5G-NR Site Notes) will cause the app to make an "educated guess" as to what the most appropriate site note is linked to the connected NSA 5G cell, using the PCI and the device location. If it finds an existing entry that is likely to be relevant, it will display the note along with the distance from where the strongest signal from that cell was logged. While connected to NSA 5G, these notes cannot be edited; a valid NCI is required to add/edit notes and that information is not available on NSA connections.   Added option to log cells with missing/invalid PLMN (such as NSA 5G-NR cells). Users asked for the ability to log data for NSA 5G, so a new option (Preferences > Logger Settings > Log Cells with Missing PLMN) will permit this.   Added option to display LTE info above 5G-NR info. Enabling this new option (Preferences > Display Settings > Show LTE Cells Above 5G-NR Cells) shows the same information that is currently displayed, but moves the LTE information above the 5G-NR information. Other changes: Code optimizations and enhancements. Improved Android 15 compatibility. Overhauled Purchases module. Resolved force closes impacting some GSM/LTE connections. Resolved issue with improper 5G-NR PLMN display when NR/LTE PLMNs did not match. Resolved issue with improper PLMN display with single-digit MNCs. Resolved issue with incorrect 5G-NR bands displayed on some devices due to Android bug. Resolved issue with incorrect number of neighbor cells displayed when some cells were unknown. Resolved issue with missing 5G-NR data when sector display is enabled. Resolved issue with saving 5G-NR site notes when NR/LTE PLMNs did not match. Resolved issue with settings to log missing GCI/NCI/TAC/PLMN being ignored. Resolved issues with web data export function. Updated internal libraries. Updated provider database. Updated target API to Android 15. I appreciate all of your support, and a big thank you to the members of the Beta Crew that help with testing and feedback!

      Stopped by again today and the antennas are up but it isn't live just yet. If other Sprint conversions are anything to go by it'll likely take about a month for the site to go live.

      It is an Android bug that was reportedly fixed in August 2023 but definitely has not been. I have implemented numerous workarounds in SCP to correct the NR bands the app displays. The OS ignores the possibility that many NR-ARFCNs are valid across multiple bands.. it reports the lowest NR band that is valid for the current ARFCN. In your example, channel 432530 can be n1, n65, or n66.. so the OS just (lazily) reports n1.   Awesome, thanks! I will add an n65 override also.
