Hey folks,
Does anyone know if a Pixel xl bought through Bell Canada would work on Verizon with a Verizon SIM? I bought a Nexus 6p there last year and it works beautifully on Verizon. I don't see CDMA listed on the Bell Pixel xl.

Pretty sure Canadian carrier version is the same model as Google Play version so I think it should be the same model.

So even though CDMA isn't listed in the specs?

If i buy a Verizon Galaxy Nexus, and unlock the bootloader.. Would it be able to work with a T-Mobile sim?

i dont think it will sorry, but then again iam not to sure. i think sim unlocking and bootloader unlocking are two differant things. it dosent cost much to get a phone sim unlocked though and if you do some google searching you might be able to unlock it yourself.
i just read on google that you cant unlock verizon or sprint.
The verizon nexus only has cdma & LTE bands, so no, the only other possibilities are Sprint and other cdma carriers.

Boot loader != sim unlock
CDMA / LTE != GSM
Verizon phones not marketed as 'GLOBAL' will NOT work on GSM carriers. Unlocking a CDMA phone is hard and if done can only be used on CDMA networks (sprint or Verizon in US) and even then you need to provision the phone for the new network and CDMA network operators do not like to allow other phones on their network since you did not buy the phone from that carrier.
TL;DR:
Verizon only works on Verizon

You can get a GSM Galaxy Nexus, unlock and work with T-Mobile.
I have the Nexus and am on T-Mobile.

yes a global verizon phone will but it is sim locked.
First of all non of the galaxy nexus phones are locked. The T Mobile version works with the Att version and so on. The Verizon version will never work on the other networks because cdma is not compatible with GSM period

Verizon galaxy nexus only works on Verizon. It has a sim slot but it's designed strictly for LTE.
It will not work with tmobile or att

This is actually wrong, some of the phones being sold in Europe are actually sim-locked. There is a thread under the general section discussing someone trying to sim-unlock their phone.
I was looking at picking up a used LTE nexus 7 to replace my wifi one. I found one for a good price that was originally purchased from Verizon. Will I be able to swap this device to at&t or has Verizon locked it?
Thanks

Cool. I just know verizon hates Nexus devices for the most part so I wasnt sure what lengths they would go to in order to ruin them.
I bought a like-new Verizon sold N7 and have only ever used it on T-Mobile.
PM me if serious about purchasing. Im gonna be selling mine which is unlocked free of Verizon. Only used it with AT&T. Just depends on how soon you're looking to purchase.
Is there any hardware differences the playstore XL and the VZW one (other than software). So if I wanted to take this phone to another carrier just like the one sold on the playstore.
I have a play store version and a Verizon SIM card/service. My phone upgraded its firmware to NDE63X after installing sim card. That is the Verizon firmware. It didn't install any Verizon logos or software, just that firmware version. So I would say since the phone would take that firmware it is only a software difference not hardware.

Thanks for the reply. I wonder how it would work the other way now. If the devices from VZW can support all other carriers (radio wise).

http://willmyphonework.net while probably not the absolute authority, this site makes no distinction between the different models of Pixel XL phones. It says it will work on most 4g networks in Europe. I was looking into because I might go to Iceland soon.

And exactly what network would that be?
Yes. Been using it on Sprint since October. Don't know how CDMA outside the US is.
