I am trying to activate a new nano sim card in a older lg 4g phone so when i get my iphone i can pop it in there but it wont let me, keeps saying its not the correct sim. The phone takes a micro so I think that might be why, has anyone ran into this? If I use a micro sim card and cut it down will I have any issues with using it for enabling data and voice?

I've cut them down with no problem. Here's a decent templates to get the exact fit. I used scissors, and shaved any extra plastic off with an exacto knife.
I also had the same error that you have now. I went to a 3rd party retailer and they gave me a nano-sim.

So when you got the new nano sim did it work? Is it possible that it doesnt accept it because it thinks it supposed to be a micro?

Yup, it worked. I cut a Galaxy S4 to a Moto X. I also made a cardboard sim adapter that worked from an iPhone 5s to a Galaxy S5 to activate it, then sold it :D.
However, there was an issue with one... I forget, exactly what it was but I believe it was an NFC Sim and iPhone problem when I got the error that you have.

Call Verizon tech support and have them add the sim to your line. They would also be able to tell you if there is an issue with sim being NFC.
 
I think this has been asked before but can't find the reply, so I'll ask once more :).

After I AOL my UDP to someone else, can they change the number via porting from another carrier without losing UDP?
 
If I got a new unlimited line via apple, and just wanted the phone are there people on this board that would want it? As I dont need it,My concern is what happens if its unlimited and then they decide to change it to 2gb.

It's the wrong forum. Everyone is trying to sell here. Find a buyer's forum and share it here :p
 
Wth... Wife's the Apple Store again, they scanned the phone, and it gave a message "Get verification from carrier". :eek:
Apple wants me to call Verizon. Was anyone successful today?

Saw that, liked this post better: http://www.engadget.com/2014/10/01/verizon-wont-throttle-unlimited-data/
because it's got a quote from Wheeler: ""I salute Verizon Wireless's decision. This is a responsible action and I commend Verizon's leadership on this issue." - in other words: "Please, please stop sending me and my office tens of thousands of emails every fscking day."
 
*shakes fist @ cnotes2019*
