Just ordered a GN to replace my faithful old NS4G. Has anyone had any luck activating online with a Sero Premium account?
I upgraded to Sero-P + premium data when I bought my ns4g... hoping I won't have to fight sprint on this again.

For those of you wondering, I could not provision sero online, but had no trouble using Sprint customer service.
Activated, unlocked, rooted, and running great! Much faster and smoother than my NS4G.

I currently have an HTC Rezound but I would like to purchase a Galaxy Nexus. How can I go about getting service on the Nexus, seeing as the Rezound uses a standard SIM and the Nexus uses a micro-SIM? Would I have to contact Verizon about swapping SIMs? Is it not even possible? Any help is appreciated, thanks!
Yup! I just switched from the Droid Charge to the Nexus and all you have to do is go to your local verizon store and they should be able to give you a sim card and help activate it.
Just go a store and have them switch SIMs, I did the same when I came from the Rezound.

from barely getting 4g at the house to having 3 bars of 4g, with new card...weird or coincidence?

Sorry, this should be on general, there's no real question here, almost speculation after some point.
I.e. there might have been some incompatibility with the previous, who-knows-how-old simcard and your device.

Vzw invested in your area? Updated nodeb's software in the area? Replaced a few hardware parts? New chip/rom on the simcard?

Okay, i was wondering if att had to sign a contract that they will not block apps like verizon did when they bought their 4g lte spectrum because i have not seen any lawsuits against them?
What?

Im pretty sure the limitations placed on Verizon were specific to the spectrum they purchased from the government.

I am currently on Verizon, with a Galaxy Nexus. I bought a Droid DNA off of eBay (really good deal), and want to know if I can just pop in my sim card, and go. I know the sizes are different, so I can use a sim cutter, and go to town on it. When I was checking the ESN with the Verizon rep, they said I would need to call to activate the phone. I've read on the interweb you can swap sims on 4G phones with no issue. So, much like everything on the interweb, there is conflicting information. What's the good word?
Actually both the DNA and gnex require micro sims, so it should fit right away. and yes, you can just pop in the sim and wait for it to recognize, but do it on the sense ROM before gaining s-off and flashing roms because I remember reading that cm doesn't have a certain file or something that prevents you from activating it when you run a custom ROM. Anyways, to answer your question yes

Verizon would need to activate because they use cdma and only use approved devices on their network.

Well Verizon exclusive devices like the droid DNA are pre-approved, and as long as it was sold by Verizon period, and is a 4g device, then you can swap sims all you want.

But this seems to contradict what is on Verizon's own website:
http://support.verizonwireless.com/faqs/VZAccess/4g_sim_card.html
Can I use my Verizon Wireless 4G SIM in more than one device?
Yes; the Verizon Wireless 4G SIM card contains all of your subscriber information, so the SIM card is portable and can be used in any Verizon Wireless-certified 4G device. All usage will be billed to the account associated with the 4G SIM card.

I'll find out for sure when my phone arrives in the mail, and I'll update this thread.
I took the Sim card from my wife's stratosphere and put it into my old droid charge and it worked just fine. All I had to do was wait for it to recognize the Sim.

I'm sure your right. I was just basing my answer on my years of sprint service. Never had Verizon 4g.

I left sprint for verizon a little over a year ago. I have had no remorse leaving. Not to get too far off topic, but the only real benefit to sprint is their unlimited data. But since you can't connect to their network, or it's slow as hell, what's the point?

Got my phone today. Popped in the Verizon 4G sim from my Nexus, and my DNA read the service with no issues. I did not have to call Verizon to swap the phone.
