Carrier [Confirmed] Verizon Unlimited Loophole

[whoathere]

Activate without the sim in the phone then. There is no possible way those sims are permanately tied to that #. They had to "write" the information to it to begin with, so they have to be able to "re-write". I know nothing about SIM cards and how they work, but we have to use a little bit of logic here.

i plan on calling in before i even open the box....i'm not doing anything until they have it switched over.

And if it does require a sim and they knew this, why wouldn't they send plenty out to stores? Everyone does this sort of thing by using an alternate upgrade line.

+1!!

If anyone has any luck with any of the methods posted here (activating with no sim in the phone, calling in before opening the box, etc), PLEASE post details of how you managed it for everyone else.

Those that can't get a nano, try getting a micro and cutting it down. It may be your only hope.

Good point.

Good point.

Won't that only work on 3G though no LTE?

Should work on LTE as long as you get a new, LTE enabled micro sim.

Verizon only has lte sims. They don't have 3G sims. That's only an issue for AT&T

Please let us know how that goes. I am waiting to get mine to do the same thing.

Word of advice, if they say no on the phone, call back...sometimes you get one that has no clue.

I was in our store yesterday and the guy said the iPhone has no sim whatsoever....yea I feel real comfortable putting it in his hands.

Trying to get my iPhone switched now. Having a lot of trouble. Doing it on the website, it says Device Change Transaction

I have a rep calling me back to help me out but she was having trouble too. She said she should be able to transfer it, but it wasn't working.

I think it has to do with the nano sim... I will update if I can get this figured out.

taking the sim out require taking the phone apart? is it near the charger or something?

Gotta love how they all were saying just call in and how easy it would be. Do these guys have any clue at all?

There's a sim tray just like there is on all AT&T phones.

im guessing you activated it first?

 

[Link2430]

im guessing you activated it first?

Yes, the rep told me to do that and then call back and they could switch it.

There I go again believing what they tell me.

 

[black743]

Guys....whatever you do, DON'T TURN IT ON until you call in and they tell you to. Once you do, it activates and that's the issue.

Every Rep I talked to told me in no uncertain terms that it had to be taken back into the store to have the SIM card swapped out.

[skywalkerr69]

Problem is that their reps know as much about their own policies as the people in these forums.
