Hi,
Does anyone know if other careers will bring this phone or it is exclusively available on Verizon?
Thanks,
Sprint.

Sprint will bring a Galaxy Nexus within the first half of the year.

OK, thanks. It doesn't help me though. I was hoping a GSM based carrier brings it (TMobile or AT&T) but it seems that's not the case.

Probably just answered before, But I looked and didn't see it.
I seen on Newegg.com they are selling an Unlocked Galaxy Nexus. I don't want to leave Sprint for Verizon. Been with them for over 10 years. But, If I purchase the Unlocked Verizon Galaxy Nexus. Can I make it work with Sprint's? Since they use the same towers for Roam and such?
If no one replies to my question I'll take it as "It's been answered".
No, the newegg unlocked phone will only work on GSM carriers.

Of course Also, for what it's worth the Verizon version won't work on Sprint either, so you'll have to switch if you want the phone
Hi.
I own a galaxy nexus from Verizon.
I wanted to know if I can use it with TMobile. I am moving, and Verizon obviously will not let me cancel my plan, as they do have coverage in my new location (but it's horrible!).
I know that the Galaxy Nexus is penta-band and supports Tmobile 4G network and will work with T-mobile.
The question is - is it doable? If so, what is it that I need? Just an unlock code?
Any info will be very welcomed and greatly thanked for!
No. Your Verizon nexus will NEVER work for T-Mobile.
There are two different versions of this phone and yours only works for Verizon.

Okay, newbie here. Will be buying my first smartphone and I've decided on the galaxy nexus. First, some important info: I'm from Canada. Bell has the phone on a three year contract with a $50 plan, which I don't want. So I'm looking at buying an unlocked version so there won't be contracts and I can use which ever carrier I want.
NegriElectronics seems to sell it unlocked. (aww.....can't post links.)
However, when I asked the guy, he said that it was the GSM version so will only work with gsm networks. But from my research online and a similar post on this forum, it seems that any and all galaxy nexus phones have quadband gsm and pentaband hspa so will work with all carriers?
So I'm currently confused as to which one is correct. I really want to make sure. Since I'm new to this, any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Both are correct. The GNex is a quadband GSM phone, and thus will operate in all GSM networks.
Canadian carriers already killed cdma, so you can use it on basically any carrier you want on Canada. Only if it's not lte SIM card or anything like that

Thank you very much to both for clarifying. So wait, what if I buy the galaxy nexus from either windmobile or mobilicity as they both allow you to buy it outright without contract? Will I still be able to use the phone with other carriers or will it be locked to the company I bought it from?

Hi folks,
I have a Galaxy Nexus Sprint Version.
I use ATT and am willing to do what it takes to have my phone be compatible with ATT. Is this possible at all?
Regards,
Josh

The answer is no

Not possible. CDMA can't be converted to GSM and vice versa.

No, it doesn't have GSM components in it. Sell it and buy the GSM model.
yeah just sell it you can probably sell it for a bit over 350$ maybe 400$ just because it has 32gb of internal memory vs 16gb in gsm
I am looking at buying a "Sprint" Galaxy Nexus and I want to use it with Verizon.
Will I have an issue with 4G if I do this?
Eventually I'm going to put Ubuntus image on it and want to make sure the hardware will work with Verizon totally so I can submit bugs and such.
Thanks
Not sure of the specs on both I know there are some differences in both. But I do know you gotta make it quick because unlocking phones will be illegal on this coming Sunday
Re: [Q] Sprint -> Verizon
No, it won't work. The hardware is different.

Re: [Q] Sprint -> Verizon
Why don't u just get a Verizon gnex and use it with Verizon.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
OK thanks for the information. I'll just stick with the Verizon model then.
I am going to use the Ubuntu OS coming out for them next month, and this is the prototype phone they will use.
Re: [Q] Sprint -> Verizon
Years back, verizon allowed sprint touch pros on their network, but now neither sprint nor verizon will allow any non carrier locked phone on their network. You'd have better luck getting Pepsi to put coke in their cans.
