UK Nexus on VZW?

So can I get a 4g card form VZW and buy a Nexus from one of the sites in the UK that is selling them or the one company here in the states and put it on VZW and make it work? My Dinc is slowing down and I really and sick of waithing.
Thanks for any help!

You'll need to wait for the LTE version to use a nexus on verizon, the GSM version will only work on AT&T and T-Mobile.

Just looked through the forum again and found my answer. Wont work... Sure would be nice if VZW would let us at it.

[Q] Which model of SIII would work with Fido

I am thinking to purchase an SIII in few days but i am confuse about which model of SIII would work for Fido. fido has started their LTE network as well so this is my biggest concern.
Shall i go for SGH-I747M or T999 or some other model ? Does anyone have any idea ?

I have the SGH-I747M which was locked to Rogers/Fido then I unlocked it and used it with Telus with LTE. T999 is the Wind/Mobilicity version which works on their bands. So a SGH-I747M is the one you want.

If you buy an unlocked phone, they are all going to work with fido.

did you buy it from kijiji ? how much would i get it for from Future shop ? If its locked to Rogers then it might work fine with Fido as well ?

I bought mine of kijiji for $400 brand new sealed in the box and I'm certain that Rogers phones would work with Fido SIM since they are both on the same network. If you see ads up in kijiji for Rogers GS3s, they always say Rogers/Fido. (Also when you buy an unlock code for a Rogers phone is says unlock for Rogers/Fido phone (http://www.cellunlock.net/Unlock_Rogers_Fido_phones_p/rogersfidoimei.htm).
Hope this helped! :laugh: :good:

either you have very good convincing skills or that guy was an apple freak ..
I am tyring to find a nice deal on kijiji as well and it seems like no one is selling a *white* SIII but the dealers and dealers aren't gona come down to anything less than $550 ... lets see if i could find something like yours otherwise $550 it is ..

Looks like you have your answer. If you were to purchase any of them unlocked they would work, however the T-Mobile/Wind/Mobilicty variants don't have LTE. So you would be sitting on HSPA+ all the time.

Why didn't you just buy International? Same price!

Those who are pledging for root and unlocked bootloaders, Why didn't you buy an International device for the same money?
I am waiting to see which device gets the most developer attention and which will work with ATT LTE before I jump into the Note 4 water. I may have to buy ATT for LTE but I don;t know about that for sure yet.

Doesn't support LTE and don't think you can get AT&T Service to work with this type of phone.

Sure you can, I have not had anything but Interntional devices on ATT, The only question is LTE but its looking like the Europen Note 4 has all the ATT LTE bands.....Confirmed one. Want some more input before I buy the 910F/C for the same price ATT wants

I'm using N910C on AT&T. LTE works, at least where I'm at (Ohio). It works out of the box for me while others say they have to call AT&T to have them provision your account with new IMEI.

Warranty was my reason. I've replaced the last three Samsung devices I've owned under warranty for different reasons. Hopefully someday we will get root without Knox tripping.

Bestbuy guy said verizon versions will be unlocked. True or false?

Anyone heard anything about verizon Note 7 being unlocked in BestBuy?

What he probably meant is that it is SIM unlocked. Almost all Verizon smart phones now are classified as World Phones which means they are SIM unlocked to be used anywhere in the world on a GSM network. This does not mean that they will have the bootloader unlocked.

Yeah as mentioned above he probably just meant carrier unlocked. Even as far back as the S5 Verizon phones have been unlocked to use any carrier, apart from sprint because they suck.

Best Buy employees don't even know a bootloader exists.

When I was an SES at a few different best buys, we had a guy that was telling Customers that if he liked iOS, he could just install it on a Samsung. After calling him out on it, he told me I was an idiot and that he has done it. LOL

The idiot probably thought an iOS theme for nova is the same as iOS. Unless it actually has been done, I remember years ago my friend had to dual boot Android on his iPhone 3G to jailbreak his ps3 lol.

Lmfao that's hilarious

4G Verizon phones are always sim unlocked but that's the only unlocked we'll have. No bootloader unlocked or anything else

So question would be is it or would it be best to buy from Samsung or Verizon? because i am hoping if i buy from Samsung then i will get all the missing stuff that verizon took away?

Part of Samsung's new security features, unlocked bootloaders will never be offered on major carrier networks in USA regions. This is why TMO devices have locked bootloaders today.

If you buy a Verizon phone from Samsung it will still be the same as any other Verizon N7. If you want it to work on Verizon and have all the original features you'll need to wait on the N930U to be released.

So the question... The oem unlock toggle doesn't do anything.. Just curious.. Mine toggles

Using AT&T sim card on Verizon Pixel will stop system updates ,etc ?

Im desperate to get rid of my AT&T Note 7 and got approved for a Best Buy credit card tonight . Can buy the Verizon version Thursday ,however several things scare me ....
1) using another carrier sim will stop the phone getting all software updates ?
2) I don't want anything with Verizon on the phone , rumor has it only has 3 apps from Verizon is uninstallable. Is this it ?
3)AT&T LTE , should still work like an AT&T phone ?
I will look carefully at the display model before making my purchase . If anyone has any input would help ,thank you .

I work for Verizon and all our phones (newer) are unlocked. Updates won't be blocked and the three apps can be uninstalled. Only thing is the phone has to start with a Verizon SIM card to get activated. After that you can put in a att sim and everything will work just fine. Enjoy your pixel, I know I will.

Sorry 2 more questions , and thank you for this info .
1)do you think at&t hd (VoltE) voice will work with it ?
2)heard that the phone will constantly try to look for CDMA network and could cause problems (battery) . AT&T is GSM network . Is this true ?

No, it should the same as if you've bought it from the google store. All Verizon iPhones function the same as if you bought it from Apple. Should hold true for google pixels as well. I'm basing this on history and not fact. Just keep your reciept. You'll have plenty of time to make sure everything works.

I read somewhere that the 3 apps install based on the Sim you start with. Meaning, on first boot if you have a Verizon Sim you'll get those 3 apps. If you start with att you won't get any auto installed apps. I don't remember where I read this last week but I do know that was the trick to not having bloat on the nexus 6 from Verizon. The pixel is unlocked (not bootloader unlocked from what I hear) so it should work on any carrier without issues. It has the radios to do so.

This is how the nexus was. I'm hoping the pixel is the same.

Any Update on this?
