I bought a 32 gb N6 on eBay and it was listed as unlocked. It has the sprint sim in it when it came and had already been activated on Sprint. Does that now lock it to Sprint?
Is there anyone that can help me out with unlocking a Sprint Nexus 6 because I want to change the carrier.
You may have been thinking about the Nexus 6 being activated on AT&T. Once the Nexus 6 is activated on AT&T it is locked (as normal) and you will be rewarded with AT&T bloatware. Of course you can port it to another carrier, but the bloatware stays.thanks. I wasn't sure. I thought i saw someplace that once the Sprint sim was activated it locked it to Sprint.
I bought my N6 from Sprint. I closed my account after one month and went to T Mobile. They put in their SIM card, and it worked immediately. No problems.
Sprint also has no bloatware and is identical to the TMO, MOTO, and Google play editionsAs far as I am aware, putting in a sim from one company does NOT lock you to that company, nor does it install their bloatware. The only units that get the bloatware are the ones that are sold by ATT, Sprint, and soon to be Verizon (the Tmobile one has no preinstalled apps other than the google ones). You just need to get a sim card for whoever you want to use the phone with and set up an account with them, and when you install it the phone will activate and you'll be good to go.
