You could have called Verizon had them ship you a SIM card for an htc m8 then activate it on your current line using the nano to micro adapter. Then once it's activated pop it in the nexus 6.

Weird that it worked after I changed and rebooted. I turned it off and back on and now it checks even with the build.prop added.
I got it working. Somehow it reverted itself back after first reboot. Thanks!
They dont, i bought two from them and both times they didnt even break the seal.
I can confirm I am using the nexus 6 on Verizon network. It works flawlessly no problems what so ever. Even did the software update and it updated and went right back yo normal. The device does not do simultaneous voice and data which is a given. Just activate a nano Sim and pop it in the phone. Also if you are looking to purchase the device from T-Mobile just go in and tell them you want to buy one full retail on a prepaid account which one day of service is $10 and the Sim is $10 so you pay an extra $20 big deal. Don't even have them activate it just pop your nano Sim in and you're good to go. If for some reason they insist on activating just do a factory reset and pop your Sim in before it activates again and you're good to go. Hope this helps for anyone thinking of purchasing works like a charm and happy with device
I want to switch to Verizon when i get my nexus 6 in a couple weeks.
Will i have any issues just walking in off the street with my phone and tell them i why to be a new costumer and set up on my N6?

They will find a way to activate it for you. They were going to use a store phone IMEI to activate the SIM card for my nexus until I pulled out my 6+ and said to just use it. Shouldn't be a problem for most of us as they are very aware of the nexus, but mum on getting it.

Any idea's how to get out of this crap? I am in Ft. Worth, TX and i never had any issues with LTE with my Note 3. Verizon is their usual completely unhelpful selves.

I got my new nano sim activated in my GS4 by Verizon customer support online. Worked perfectly. Don't know what the store hangup would be.
The store activation I guess depends on where you go and how reluctant the employees are. When mine arrives I already have a new nano SIM. I ordered a nano to micro adapter and I will be using it to activate my nano in my HTC one M7.

72In doing some more research I'm still lost on the sim activation. k.electron said above that all I have to do is buy a micro sim card and a micro to mini sim adapter, put the micro sim in the adaptor, put it in my Galaxy Nexus and turn the phone on. That'll activate the sim. Then I've read online sources that say I have to have several different numbers (phone id, sim card, etc) and call Verizon to get the micro sim activated. I think I'm getting more confused.
Nexus 6 takes a nano sim, also known as 4FF. You can order one from customer service; many people got theirs from using chat on the verizon website, others from calling in. Just tell them you want it for a Nexus 6 Android phone and they'll send you one free of charge, two day shipping. Some folks have said you have to lie and say it's for a 2014 Moto X or other supported nano sim phone, but I just said Nexus 6 and they didn't even blink an eye.
Activation is a bit confusing. The website (My Verizon) has online activation -- but this only works if you have the IMEI of a supported phone to input (i.e. not the IMEI of your Nexus 6). I also could not get it to work by inputting the IMEI of my current phone (Galaxy S3), I suppose because it thought it was already activated. Some have recommended to get this to work by "Borrowing" the IMEI of some random phone in a Verizon store or from a friend, but I chose not to do this.
Simply putting the sim in my old GS3 (with a nano-micro adapter) did not activate it. But I just called customer service (the "activations" department) and said I needed the sim they sent me in the mail activated, and they did it, and then it worked. While I was on the phone with them I first put the sim in my GS3 just to be safe to test the activation, but it may well have worked if I put it directly into the Nexus 6. In any event after it worked in the GS3 I transferred the sim to the Nexus 6 and it's worked fine ever since.
As many have pointed out, ad infinitum in this thread and elsewhere, log on to My Verizon and make sure your account is set to "Basic Voicemail", not "Visual Voicemail", and certainly not "Basic Visual Voicemail". Otherwise your voicemail will not work and you'll get cryptic encoded text messages instead of a voicemail indicator.
Your phone will show up on My Verizon as "NON-VZW" phone but that's the price we pay2Anybody having problems with the voice mail notifications?
Mine keep coming up as text messages with all kinds of strange stuff with the phone number that called
WTF is that all about?
Go into your account online and turn off visual voice mail
