it will most likely not come with a sim card. if you need me to mail one out to you, hit me up in PM. You may want to see if your local stores have any 3ff sims in stock. i can probably get a spare out to you faster than worldchat

are they not available from their corporate stores? I have on down the street?

I had a Sprint product development employee reach out to me this morning after reading this thread. His message says:   Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro

The Nexus 5 does NOT work on Verizon. They are apparently the only provider not allowing it on their network.

Just bought my son the nexus 5 on amazon $35. So from what I have read it won't come with a Sim card or have I misunderstood?

If it was a Sprint boxed N5 then yes, it will come with a SIM card already installed.

Even if VZW were not blocking the Nexus 5, the Nexus 5 would be able to attach only to VZW's band 4 LTE 2100+1700 capacity overlay.  And it is not very widespread.  The Nexus 5 lacks VZW's core band 13 LTE 750.

Are you missing a number in that price?  How did you get it for $35?

it was an upgrade price on amazon. Best buy was going to match it but they didn't have a white one.

So I've had the phone going on three days now, and I must say the battery life on this thing is insane. I'm sitting at 11 hours and 62% battery left.

To me it seems that when the phone is asleep it fares well. When awake and being used it seems to run down pretty quick.

So I am actually experiencing much better battery life with DALVIK than ART.  Must be a particular app that doesn't like ART causing the excess drain.

 

Is it the Vandelay app?

So I ordered a Nexus 5 and I'll be getting it on Thursday. I called Sprint to ask about the SIM card issue, as I've heard multiple things from multiple people. The rep told me to order it online from Google Play but I don't see it anywhere. What's the real deal for this SIM? I want to be able to use it right away and not have to wait a week to get it in the mail. And will it connect to TD-LTE out of the box (I live in a Spark area) or is there any tinkering with it to be done first?

You need to get a sim card from Sprint, not google.

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
