T-Mobile will give you a replacement SIM of the correct size. Try that first. Your microSIM may not be making proper contact.

Thats what i'd do.
Unless you're constantly swapping between your nexus and a phone with a micro sim slot, i'd go get a full size sim card from t-mobile.
The store can swap it immediately, and probably wont charge you.
I went to T-mobile and they gave me a replacement sim , but that didnt work so i called up samsung and i still had warrenty so i sent it in , i just hope it doesnt take too olong :/
Hey guys!
Ive just woke up 2 days ago with this error "your sim card does not allow the connection to this network" and I have no network signal.
Tried everything, I was on Ordroid 14.0.0 , installed 15.0.0 now im back on stock firmware, still nothing, tried a different sim card and doesn't work (only one from a different country its working)
The sim card I was using for 6 months on this phone is working on any other phone.
Can anyone help me with this issue please?
Thank you very much!
2 scenarios:
1. Your SIM card tray is busted (hardware)
2. Your carrier has banned your IMEI
Did you buy your phone new or used?

Ive gave my Samsung Galaxy S2 for this one and that guy told me it doesn't have the papers anymore.
How come it worked fine for 6 -7 months?

I don't wanna make any scary speculations but it is possible that the phone was stolen/lost and it eventually end up in your hands. Later the original owner requested the carrier to ban the device from it's network.
Again, just thinking out loud here... You should ask your carrier.

I got the same problem with my HTC One S!
1) I check the ESN and it comes available not reported stolen.
2) I did Factory reset and clear all storage as well = nothing!
3) When i go into phone settings it reads the sim card because you can get the phone number and everything other info from the carrier but nothing! Even i change from GSM/WCDMA Auto to GSM only and back and picks up the Network but it doesn't let me connect... im giving up, i just dont know why keeps giving me the same message...:crying:
So I will be getting the HTC One. I'm currently using an iPhone 5, and I want to be able to switch between the 2.
I know the iPhone 5 uses nano sim, and the HTC One uses micro sim, so I will have to buy an adapter.
However, will it even be possible to just switch sims, seeing as Verizon is CDMA?
Thanks!
I'm doing this same thing with my S4. You will have a SIM in the iPhone and a SIM in the HTC One.
You'll need to go onto the website and swap the active device on the line (takes like 5 mins, super easy).
Even if you could just drop the iPhone SIM into the HTC One (you can not), you'd still have to set the IMEI for the device to be the active device.
This is how they track data usage etc. Activation takes up to 15 minutes, but I noticed in my area in socal it took only 2 minutes.
There is no additional cost to swap or use a different device. Did this myself this morning, rep assured there is no charge but they do present a summary of what the line (your phone number) costs monthly. Not to be confused with the IMEI and SIM numbers (for which there is NO cost to swap, add, etc).

I've swapped my sim between at least 20 devices without ever needing to change anything on the verizon web page. The only time I have ever had to have any interaction with Verizon is when going from a nano to micro sim. However I've cut three micro sims to fit into iPhones without issue.

That's way too complicated. Just buy a $5 sim adapter off Amazon and voila. I switch between my s4 and iPhone on a weekly basis and have never had to call verizon or use the website.
With sim adapter I've been using the Same sim and switching between my galaxy s4, iPhone 5, bb Z10, and lumia 928.
Ok, so it looks like there are a couple different options, and now at least I know it's definitely possible to do easily.
Thanks for the replies everyone, you're awesome!

**EDIT** Ha! Snap, 600th post. Sorry, had to, I got excited for a second.
I went by a Verizon store today to purchase an HTC One. At the store, there was a sticker on the HTC One that said "NFC SIM required to activate". The sales person didn't know if my nano sim / adapter would work at all in the HTC One. We couldn't even test it, because he said I'd be charged a $35 restocking fee if it didn't work, and if I decided not to purchase... I decided not to take the risk.
Has anyone actually tried moving an iPhone 5 nano sim to an HTC One (using an adapter)?
Can an active nano sim (non-NFC sim) be used / moved a new HTC One, or is a NFC sim really required to activate??

I have not and I don't know the answer to your last question, however I've decided I'm just going to keep the nano sim in the iPhone and keep a sim in the htc one and when I want to switch I'll just go to VZW website and switch phones, like the first answer said. It's real simple so for me it's no big deal. I'd rather not put the wear and tear on the sim and sim tray.
I switch between my HTC One, SG3, and SG4 but they all have same size SIM.
I heard adapters can cause issues
gotta love how apple does everything different until it comes to software that was in Android light years before iOS
how do I tell if my SIM is NFC?
I am still using my SIM card I got when I bought Samsung s3
The iPhone Sim works in the One.

how do you figure???
iphone takes a nano sim card. much smaller
either need adapter, or ruin his sim and cut it to fit the iphone and then no way to get it to work on HTC One.
correct me please if I am wrong.

That's what the OP inquired about. With an adapter it will work. Sorry if I confused.

ohh, no need to apologize, I am sorry as well. I understand your post now.
Then why would Verizon put a giant sticker on the HTC One box, proclaiming an NFC sim was required? Placing my iPhone sim in the One (with adapter) will just work? Hopefully this is the case.

This will not work. As soon as you activate the One VZ will "burn" your i5 sim. Same thing going the other direction. VZ will not allow you to have two (2) working sim cards.

Verizon used to disable a SIM after its been used... i.e. SIM A in phone, switch to SIM B, SIM A is no longer usable. So your plan might now work.
Instead, you'll likely have to activate the Nano SIM for the iPhone 5, then use an adapter when moving your iPhone 5 SIM to another phone...
Two SIM adapter options are -> http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009B9YWB4/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 or -> http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009ABEA7E/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (i've ordered each of those, so I know they work ).
i literally just reactivated my nano sim, stuck it in my iPhone to make sure it worked, and then put it into my One using an adapter. works fine
I guess you can call Verizon and have them send you a sim card.
.. but only one lol
got one coming. just in case ever need one
they send for free and doen't charge for the SIM if anyone every wants to save themselves a trip to the VZW store
I had them send NFC SIM, didn't realize i dont need it but oh well.
she actually sent me two because their systems were slow and she never asked my address and I said ur sending it to my appt right, and shes like.. no.
she was very nice, apologized for not asking, and instead said f it and said ill just send one to you and one to the original order cos their computers weer sucking lol
I'm on Verizon, my SIM was a microSIM originally, it came with my Galaxy S3. I cut it down with a SIM cutter a while back to use it with a Moto X (original version), it worked fine for a long time in that phone. I just moved it over to my N5X this morning, and a few hours later the phone has twice told me that no SIM is installed. I had to remove the SIM tray and re-insert it to make it work. Anyone else having this problem?
I cut my microSIM myself freehand and haven't had any issues with it at all. Is it possible that your SIM is dirty/corroded or something? I'd be surprised if the slot on the phone was having issues already.

I actually polished the contacts a bit before putting it in the 5X. It gave me a No SIM error twice in about 3 hours, but hasn't done it in the last 6 hours or so, we'll see if it comes back. I know MicroSIMs are a little thicker than NanoSIMs, I wonder if the extra thickness caused/causes it. If it comes back maybe I'll try sanding the SIM down a bit.

I have been having this happen a couple time a week. I'm in the exact same situation being on Verizon, coming from a Galaxy S3, and I cut my micro SIM down to a nano. Did you sand your cut SIM down or get a new one? If so, did this fix the issue?

I'm still using the same SIM, the problem hasn't recurred so I haven't done anything about it. If it happens again, I plan to sand the SIM down.
Are you talking about a pop-up error, or just it saying "no sim" in the upper right hand side of the screen? I have it take a little bit to recognize after some reboots, but it always recognizes it after 5-10 seconds. I have a brand new sim from t-mobile that I have been using, so it would not be related to a cut sim or anything like that.

Yes!
I had a microSIM cut down and got the issue. Went and got a new nanoSIM still having the issue.
Annoying.

This happened to me again, so I finally just asked Verizon for a new nanoSIM and now it's been a week or so with no problems.
I to am on Verizon. And had my sim cut since I am coming from the g4. And have it pop up saying no sim twice. And I removed the sim and reinstalled it and rebooted the device and usually works. But i hope its just something that will work itself out
Yes it's been doing this for a week since I've had my Nexus 5X, I just had to reboot it to have the sim recognized again. And this morning it says "no sim card" no matter what I do. If i remove the sim and plug it back in, sometimes it will work and last for a minute and then again "no sim card". I'm really pissed. I'll try the sim in another phone to see whether or not the problem comes from there.
So question for Verizon ownwers. I got a nano sim card but need to activate it. Can I activate it with a Verizon phone even if it uses a micro sim? Only ask because I came from the g4 and I cut it but I'm trying to get this nano activated to try and eliminate the no sim.

I just called customer service to activate the sim card and then popped it into my phone. They didn't give me any trouble.
They don't need to activate the sim card to a phone or need an imei?

I called Customer Service and got them to send me one by telling them that I was going to by a Verizon HTC One M9 from a friend. Then when I got the SIM, I just called them again and they activated it for me no problem. I don't remember them asking me for which phone again.
I have seen in other threads on here where people have said that Verizon will activate the SIM card in store even if you tell them its for the Nexus 5X; so, activating over phone or in store should be no problem.
Hey all - long story short, my upload speeds today topped out at .13MB/s, so in desperation I called Verizon, who did some resetting on their end and talked me into resetting my wifi/mobile/bluetooth, which is in settings/system/reset options.
Since then, I've had no 4G and nothing has brought it back. Just did a factory reset and STILL nothing!!
Interestingly, when I open up my APNs, there's only the Verizon one, but it's never selected - even if I select it, still no LTE, and after a reboot it's unselected again. Also with this phone seems I can't edit or add APNs.
I am *absolutely* out of options - really figured the factory reset would take care of it!! I would be most grateful for any help you can give! Thanks in advance - can't tell you how much I appreciate it.
So fun story - on a whim I put the SIM of another 4G phone in, and works like a CHARM. So somehow resetting the wifi/mobile/bluetooth fried the SIM! I think I got one for free at the Verizon store last time this happened, so I'll head there first thing tomorrow!

So you put the SIM in another phone and it worked fine? I am pretty sure you just proved the SIM is fine and the problem is in the device, or it's configuration...
I have been through a dozen phone on one SIM, never had a SIM fail and I have only replaced it when changing carriers. Odd that this happened to you, and happened at least once before...
Nope, I put another phone's SIM into my phone

I am not trying to argue here, just understand...
No, I never did - I didn't try my SIM in another phones, but I did take the SIM out of my girlfriend's phone and put it into mine, which then immediately got a 4G signal, so I knew the SIM was the issue. Ran to the Verizon store for a new one, and the guy there said "whoa, that's a really old SIM" and I had to remind him what a SIM cutter was - I've had it a while
