Nexus 5 SIM Card information

[Gatman]

I wanted to be sure I needed a micro SIM (and not a nano or standard) before ordering one, and in Googling around, I actually came across the Nexus 5 SIM page right on Google's product forums.

I thought I'd post the link here in case anyone else was looking for the information.

I'm glad Google & LG went with the Micro-SIM instead of the Nano-SIM. Won't have to cut down my SIM card!

I just ordered SIM Kit from Metro PCS $10.60. The kit comes with all 3 sizes, so I will have the correct one.

Makes my life easier, just switch the Sim in my Nexus 4 to the Nexus 5. Got to love GSM.

Please let us know how it works for ya. I'm highly thinking of getting a N5, but after tax refund. I also know it's a location thing as to how well a phone will get service as such.

Coming from the Moto X, which I just realized is a nano size, I ordered a kit from Amazon as well. Now I'll be able to swap back and forth!

I'm just going to go to AT&T and they'll give me a new SIM for free. That's what we did the Nexus 4.

I just got a free sim for T-Mobile just in case though a link posted on Droid Life a few days ago: SIM Card details from T-Mobile. Shipping was free, too.

In my area I get excellent coverage from MPCS and T-Mobile as seen on websites. I really don't think there will be a problem. Will confirm in a couple of weeks.

Do you have Tmobile service already?

I tried to get a .99 SIM and they wanted me to pick a plan.
Just tried the free one..they want CC info.

Just ordered it. FREE Thanks

Just a heads up. T-Mobile has free micro sims on their site now with free shipping!

 

[captain_hug99]

Thank you for the heads up! Just ordered mine.

So I am going to be switching between a 5s and the nexus 5 here and there every few days most likely. The 5s uses a nano right?

Instead of having two different SIM cards can I use an adapter? So I can just use one for both phones?

Also are there going to be issues with the data plan when switching to each phone? I'd rather not have to go online and change stuff every time I swap phones.

It should work, I know some people who had the idea of just getting a nano sim and using an adapter to have it for when the time comes to switch to a nano phone.
