I am not going to argue with you. 

 

Any useful help would be appreciated.

 

No, you are not going to argue with me.  I am in no mood to argue this morning.

 

I am also in no mood to pittypat around.  That is why I am being direct.  That is not faulting you.  Thank you for reporting your experience with a Motorola purchased Nexus 6.

 

But you asked for advice.  I gave it.  As long as you supplied the accurate IMEI to Sprint and it is not white listed, then the handset is ineligible to be activated on Sprint.  There is no workaround.

 

So, you can return the handset to Motorola.  Or you can activate it on another wireless provider.

Well, I found a solution to my activation problem... I sold my phone on swappa.com for a profit!

Hey, just a heads up. I just received my Nexus 6 directly from Motorola and the IMEI is not in their system... I am going to see what I can get done. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hopefully this is like the 32GB Nexus 5 and the IMEIs will eventually be entered.

However, if it isn't, I'm afraid you're SOL.

Either way, there isn't anything we can do about it.

Thank you for the heads-up.

 

Edit: looks like they're not going to be entered. Oh well.

Roger That. Thank you for the advice.

 

Some additional information... Sprint customer care stated that they had internal documents stating that devices purchased through Google Play and Sprint (obviously) would be eligible for activation, and explicitly stated that devices purchased through Motorola would not... though this might have been their way of getting me off the phone

And, see, that is also very useful information.  It sounds accurate, too, if referenced to an internal document that mentions Google Play, Sprint, and Motorola.  That does not sound like something a low level phone rep would be able to make up.  And it mirrors the Nexus 5 experience last year, since T-Mobile purchased handsets were not white listed in the Sprint database.

 

For the record, I was not trying to be confrontational, just trying to get to the point -- because this info needs to be made available ASAP to others who are seeking the Nexus 6 to be activated on Sprint.

There is a work around. Advanced tech support can open a ticket to get it added to the system for activation. I had it happen to me when my livepro was replaced by zte under warranty, the replacement was not white listed. The process takes about a week, the trick is convincing them to do it for you. Whether or not they will do it for some one that bought a device from elsewhere is unknown, but it can be done.

Those methods will not work on Sprint. Sprint still uses the IMEI to activate voice and 3G services.

For whatever it is worth,  we weren't able to activate Google play Nexus 5's initially either last year.  It took about 24 hours for Sprint to get it sorted out if I remember correctly.

 

I'm not sure why Sprint won't white list devices that are identical to the one's they sell on request.  I'm guessing they have a logical reason to not do it.  Just wish we knew what it was.

Remember according to leaked docs. Sprint stores should have a few to sale starting Nov 17th which has passed. I know the truck to every sprint store around here only runs Tue and Thrus anywhere from 1-3pm. I will be actively on the look out and will purchase on site lol

Another reason I am going with BB it is $100 less than Sprint has it for.  On contract at least.

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By iansltx · Posted

      A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.

      Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.

      What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
