Cell Service Providers for Nexus 5?
-
@rvan The N5 has the hardware for VoLTE, but google did not release a radio package with VoLTE support except for the China market. It's not yet clear if UT's VoLTE solution can make use of that hardware. We'll simply have to wait and see when it's ready for testing

My N5 (with T-Mobile) is in a dead zone, so I have to drive about a mile before it will connect with the T-Mobile tower. For funzie's today I went to the AT& T store to see if maybe the N5 would work. The employee there took the sim card out of his phone and put it in mine. It connected and with data use to for about a minute or so then disconnected. He took the card out and put it back in his phone and um. AT&T blocked his number. Oops, he had to make a call on another phone to get them to unblock it and he told them what he did. Sooooo, apparently AT&T has the capability to accept these phones but they choose not to. Anyway, I'm hoping T-Mobile will put a tower in my area because $15.00 a month a great price. Even if AT&T would have worked they wanted $35.00 a month for their most basic plan.

@rocket2nfinity This is how interpreted VoLTE might progress on the N5. I assumed nothing. I downloaded the VoLTE requirements and implementation documents for reference.

@rvan Sorry, newbie here to the whole cell phone thing, but long term, are we assuming the N5 will not work on 5G systems at all?
Here in WA I have not been able to find a provider that will accept this phone (Just based on online compat tests). I do have an extra line through tmobile and I ordered a sim card without updating the phone information so I will test it, but I am just curious about the long term functionality of the phone.
It's such a great little phone.

@geekbone
N5 has not the hardware to use 5G, so it'll never work on thoses networks. -
@keneda Actually, I was able to get a new T-Mobile sim card and it installed just fine on N5. My understanding is T-Mobile will be good through 2022 for current non VoLTE UT.

Why can't I change the root password and the terminal can't update and install software
