iPhone Preorder Question

I am looking to preorder an iPhone X through Verizon but I do not have a Verizon account. I have T-Mobile.

If i borrow a friends Verizon account and preorder it through apples website paying in full using a 1-time payment,

1. Do I need to tie the phone to a number on the Verizon account?
2. Does me preording a phone affect the Verizon account at all?

Any help would be great thanks!

 

If I try to go through the steps right now on the website I can select to pay in full even when selecting a Verizon phone. Anyone else know if this is true?

This is basically what I'm trying to do but I'm trying to find out if buying the phone has any ties to their verizon account

 

So after doing some me research here is how I think it will work.

Use a friend's Verizon account to pre-order the phone and yes it will be shipped to their address and will be set to their phone number.

Once delivered, they will have to go into their verizon account and change the new iPhone off and put their old phone on.

I get the new iPhone, pop in the tmobile Sim and we are all set.

Yes it is a lot of hassle but I think this is the only way to get the phone during pre-sale /launch and not wait out in line.

Anyone think this will work?
