I put my Project Fi sim card into my Pixel 3 XL and after that no other phone was able to read it. Now I'm actually not sure anymore, if the Pixel ever read it or just used eSIM.
Anyone else had that?
I put my active Verizon SIM in my new pixel 3 XL yesterday and it would connect but I couldn't make calls, text, or get a data connection. I put it back into my 2 XL and it would no longer work. I called *611 but apparently Verizon was closed? Anyway I chatted with online support , gave them my SIM number and IMEI and they got me up and going. It was odd.

I think it's a carrier issue.

I ended up purchasing two Google-Unlocked Pixel XL phones because I thought the first person I purchased from had scammed me. Turns out he didn't and now I have one currently activated on Verizon and the second one coming in tomorrow. Now, the one coming in tomorrow is of much nicer condition, so obviously I want to use that one and sell the one that I am currently using.
Now, can I simply take the nano-sim out of the currently activated Pixel XL phone and put it into the new Pixel XL and it will automatically be activated? Do I need to go to a Verizon store or do anything online?
I took the sim from my Moto X pure edition and put it in my Pixel XL with no issue at all.

Just swap the SIM.
Thank You guys for the responses!
Will I have to login to the Verizon website and add/delete phones as well?

I just swapped the SIMs and didn't even let them know anything. After a couple of day, the visual voicemail started working (that's the thing that I thought I was going to have to call them about).
Just swap the sim, after a bit the Verizon website recognized the phone as a pixel as well with no notification on my part to Verizon.

Stupid question, but just want to make sure I'm good. Verizon tried to pull one on me with the original pixel.
On the Gstore there is an unlocked version and a Verizon one. But I can just buy the Google unlocked version instead, and pop in the Sim from my pixel XL?
Yes. I bought mine from Google, popped in my SIM from my Moto X Pure. The phone works. I just registered the phone as a non VZ 2XL (I had to call them, for some reason, I couldn't do it online).

Register it for what? When I bought my pixel, I just had them activate the sim for my n6 and transferred that sim. No problems after that

Anyone got their Pixel 3 or 3XL working on Sprint? Any issues?
People have Pixel 3s working on Project Fi (which uses Sprint, T-Mobile, and US Cellular)... So an unlocked P3 should have zero issues on Sprint.
I'm still waiting for my P3XL to arrive, but I've had a Nexus 6, Nexus 5x, and a Pixel XL all on Project Fi... So that's a solid yes that the P3 will work on Sprint alone.
No issues for me. You will need to get a SIM card before you activate it. I went to Best Buy and purchased the SIM then called Sprint to activate the phone. No problem.s

Same here but I went to a Sprint Corporate store. The sim for the 3xl on Sprint ends in 516QT and they charged me $2.99 for it.

Activated two Pixel 3XL's on Sprint at Corp Store...no problems, other than it wasn't in their on-floor iPad, but the guys in the back got the SIM's activated in less than 5 min.
Ordered my Pixel from google, ordered SIM card from Sprint chat. Phone arrived, SIM arrived went back to Chat, activated within 5 minutes.
Only issue was I had to contact chat again this morning so they could provision for the hotspot, but that took 3 minutes.
I was able to download Visual Voicemail from the play store as that was the only Sprint app I wanted.
Easy Peasy.
I have no problems on Sprint. Been running my 3XL since the 17th. WiFi calling even works. It wasn't a possibility on the 2XL.

I brought a pixel 3 xl from bestbuy (verizon) and activated my phone 3 days ago but haven't received the "sim unlock" notification. Does it mean the phone is already sim unlocked? How do i verify without another sim card other than the one comes with pixel 3 xl? Thanks.
Yes, all Verizon phones come unlocked due to a deal made with the FCC. Try any SIM and it will work. Tested on my own Pixel 3 XL with a TMobile SIM.

Verizon turned off the SiM locking they had on the 3s for awhile. Probalby too much bad press. So when you got it, it was already unlocked and you won't see the message.

yepp.. they did implement a sim locking feature however.. they did it to reduce fraud according to big red..
you probably wouldnt notice though.. from what i read its sim locked until its activated on the verizon network at which it then unlocks..
i am not sure if the pixels are like this or not but my s9+, tab s4 and note 9 took a few days..
my p3xl came with the esim preconfigured for my vzw acct as well as a sim card.. i accidentally reset and cleared the esim lol.. good thing the sim card still worked haha
i have tried a sprint sim and att sim in my p3xl, both worked with no hassle

I was wondering if anyone had a chance to activate their Pixel 2XL with T-Mobile thru esim. Searching the internet I found that theoretically it is by asking them to do a Sim swap Ann then giving them your EID number as they don't offer an app for Android yet. Just wanted to see if anybody had managed to actually go thru with it?
