How difficult is it to switch from a Verizon sim to a ATT sim on ST

[upinsmoked]

Hi all,

I was wondering how difficult it was to port a number from using a ST sim for Verizon to one using ATT. I've been using Google FI and it's been horrific on the Sprint and TMobile networks. I was a life long Verizon wireless customer up to this, the last straw being the price gouging for unlimited data made me decide to leave.

I bought the SIM kit for ST for Verizon to use on the Nexus 6p I have but have read that the dataspeeds are throttled to 5mb/s from Verizon and 8mb/s from ATT. I have the feeling that 5mb is probably sufficient to not notice any real difference in speed and any heavy downloading I would be doing on a wifi connection.

Between the horrible networks FI uses and the muffled sounding calls (this is after a phone swap from Google once already) I've had it. I like the premise behind FI but it seems like it's a still a work in progress.

Porting takes only 2-3 hours, so it's pretty painless.

Not sure about the throttling, though. I just did a speed test on my Nexus 5 and got 15.31Mbps on the ATT networks. I've never tried Verizons, so can't comment on it. But they definitely do not throttle ATT.

I started out with AT&T sim in the BYOP kit. Decided to switch to the Verizon compatible sim. Took about 30 min to port my number and activate new sim and I was up and running.

I have recently switched from Verizon to Att. I started the process 8/5/16. So far.it has been a nightmare. I have paid over $1200 and still have a past due balance. I ported 2 lines. I have the instruction sheet that explains how to get.up to $650 / line ported. The web site you are given is not easy to find. I'm not sure I uses the correct one yet. I did get a confirmation email with website to check status.of documentation. When you click on the site in the email you get an error msg. So far it doesn't look good. After reading all other posts and complaints they are coming true in my case also. Be very careful.

ATT and VZW use two different technologies, GSM vs CDMA. Unless your ATT phone is also CDMA compatible, you will not be able to switch to VZW.
