All,
The 32GB version from Google Play Store can be activated online with Sprint or through our Sprint Chat team. Activation does require a UICC card (some call it a SIM card) obtained from a Sprint retail store at no charge. If the Sprint store has not received their shipment of UICC cards, our Sprint World Wide team can order one for you through our Chat option or calling into Care.
Steps to activate online:
Insert your UICC card and follow the prompts online to swap to your Google Nexus 5.
Manage My Sprint> Activate a new phone> Enter new device> In the Device code enter the IMEI and leave off the last IMEI digit. If all the digits are entered an error will be generated.
Please send me a Private Message with your IMEI and phone number if an error message is generated after following the above steps.
Thanks,
Blue
I've read that you cannot activate any N5 till the 9th when they actually start to sell them.

That just seems ridiculous and odd, You can activate a 16GB but not a 32. I get that maybe Google/LG didn't provide them all the IMEIs but seriously the size of the device shouldn't make a difference.
It would be great if AC would reach out to Sprint to get us a definitive answer.

How could we convince them to do that for us? Obviously it's going to be easier for them to get a real answer than us running around to low-level reps.
Any success out there ? If not is it just a matter of time or a no go you think? Thanks

I can now activate my 32gb as Sprint recognizes the MEID (yesterday it said it was invalid). Too bad I still don't have a sim card...
I'm going to try the store today. I called yesterday and they said no, but I think the employees think the Nexus 5 needs a "special Nexus sim"
