Bought one of these

Annoyed to find out it takes one of these

Instead of one of these

Which means I am going to have to visit...sigh...one of these.

If you don’t hear from me in 72 hours call me on me...dammit...just send help.

If it’s a Micro (NOT Nano, it’s thinner), just trim it yourself.

Google for a template.

What about the company phone?

The cell phone store will just put your SIM card in a punch and trim off the edges.

Not really, here they will try to sell you one. You’re better off buying a new one anyways, the new ones are 3-in-1.

Too bad you didn’t get an LX450 and opt for the built-in car phone.

Kinja'd!!!

Mine didn’t come with this, but I kinda wish it did just for kicks.

Thats right, that was an option. Ah different times.

All analog on a frequency that’s no longer supported, so even if you did, you couldn’t.

I’ve had my Moto G5 Plus 3Gb/32Gb for a week, and it’s great. Best phone I’ve ever had. I’m in the UK with Verizon’s equivalent Vodafone, and a swap to a nano sim took less than 5 minutes in the local store. I was astonished at this level of service, as getting anything done over the phone or internet is much harder. Having said that, I do need to get them to re-sync my home signal booster thing, so wish me luck (assuming you ever get out of the Verizon store)...

I’m interested in how this works for you as a I have a similar set of criteria for a phone.

Moto G5 Plus, yes? So much for a removable battery, I guess?

Moto G5 Plus takes a nano SIM.

You’re still good. Follow a template online and you should be fine. Fun fact: A lot of the real estate space on a SIM isn’t used for anything. :)

Most smartphones these days use micro/nano sims

OP showed a picture of a Micro... I don’t memorize phone specs lol.

The less the company knows about me, the better.

HammerheadFistpunch > CalzoneGolem

I didn’t get much of my crtitera...but it was a good price.

HammerheadFistpunch > Textured Soy Protein
04/20/2017 at 16:00

yeah...I’ll deal.

CalzoneGolem > HammerheadFistpunch
04/20/2017 at 16:01

That’s usually the best criteria. What did you give up from your list?

HammerheadFistpunch > CalzoneGolem
04/20/2017 at 16:05

removable battery mainly. IT was still cheapish, I got the SD card, and the internal memory and rumor is these are above average tough...we’ll see about that last part.

How are you liking it? - my Moto G3 sort of got caught in the recliner and now the up volume button doesn’t work anymore... =(

Did you go with 32Gb or 64Gb?

HammerheadFistpunch > Transit
04/20/2017 at 16:10

32 gb. I like the box so far. Seems like a well made box. I will let you know how the phone itself works when I get to use it.

Great choice. I think I had suggested this on your post yesterday too. Which version did you go with?

The ad-ridden Amazon special is tempting, but probably not something worth cheaping out a few bucks over.

Will probably end up with one myself this week unless I try the Honor 8 and decide I can live with the EMUI skin just fine.

Neither do I, I looked it up.

04/20/2017 at 16:16

Yeah but your next phone will take the other one.

Are you getting the moto mods? I want to know how well they work, I think in going to get a z or whatever their flagship is to replace my current s6

StoneCold > HammerheadFistpunch

I like my G4 except for the camera software (like the *camera* is good, but the auto-focus is trash). Do you mind reporting on how the camera works for you?

I know not of this phone. Better or worse than Galaxy S7?

HammerheadFistpunch > Camshaft Chris: Skyline/McLaren/Porsche Fanboy
04/20/2017 at 17:30

well, cheaper. Probably worse?

avalonian > HammerheadFistpunch

Why this, as opposed to the galaxy s5? That had all the requirements you were looking for and more, for around 200.

HammerheadFistpunch > avalonian
04/20/2017 at 17:45

I wasn’t looking for another used phone. Not sure why, I should have but...didn’t.

avalonian > HammerheadFistpunch
04/20/2017 at 17:58

Oh okay, do you man. Cause this one just seems me budget conscious as opposed to satisfying everything you wanted. They had the s5 that was recommended on Amazon for 175 unlocked new, but not used. But I hope this phone makes you happy and lasts you a long time!

HammerheadFistpunch > avalonian
04/20/2017 at 18:01

well if I knew you would take it personally...

avalonian > HammerheadFistpunch
04/20/2017 at 18:05

My bad. I talked myself into a bind on this one. I didn’t mean for it to come out like that, I didn’t mean to be rude or something, I knew as I typed it that’s how it might have come across as, sorry. I’m being genuine when I say enjoy the phone tho!

HammerheadFistpunch > avalonian
04/20/2017 at 18:06

Nah, no worries. You just seemed so invested.

avalonian > HammerheadFistpunch
04/20/2017 at 18:09

Lol, yeah. I’m like a geek for Samsung, I just wanted to make sure you’d be happy with your purchase. And that’s why I was recommending the s5 due to its ability to stay fresh software wise longer and mods and what not!

HammerheadFistpunch > avalonian
04/20/2017 at 18:12

I stopped modding my phones a while ago, and I’ve had nothing my galaxies for my last 3 phones so I thought I would mix it up. Lets hope I don’t regret it.

your better off staying away from Samsung. Moto is OK, much better user experience. Just hope you don’t need their customer service....it got bad since Lenovo took over.

I’ve had 3 s4s...they just don’t seen to hold up

Monkey B > HammerheadFistpunch

I’ve had, and seemingly everyone I’ve known with Samsung stuff, had nothing but problems. When I installed TV’s it was always Samsung that had issues. Friends with appliances too, one with a fridge and one with a stove that were problematic.

I just got a OnePlus 3T a few months ago and so far so good. It’s extremely nice hardware, just as nice as any flagship phone I’ve had, and is a bargain at just over $400 for the 64gb model. It boasts 6gb of RAM which makes it snappy, I don’t even have PC’s with that. Like Moto they don’t do much different with stock Android, but I like the things they do add as they are useful features.
