Carrier Purchase Verizon iPhone for AT&T use???

[lmcrael]

Hi all, I just reserved a Verizon 7+ at a local store. I currently have a AT&T iPhone 6. I'm purchasing the phone unlocked, but do not have a Verizon account. Can I still purchase and activate the phone at the store or will Apple require me to have a Verizon account?

Thanks!

I think you'll have to have a Verizon account but it depends on your salesperson. They might be cool with just selling it you. Good luck!

I think it depends on the sales guy.
I nicely asked, ditched my ATT reservation and got a Verizon instead.

Works but I seriously think that my reception signal is weaker.
I don't know if it's because of the new iPhone design or if I am using a ATT sim on Verizon phone...

If you pay full price you can buy any phone they have - in store only.

Did you pay outright or use the iPhone Upgrade Program?

I pay outright, BUT this isn't the point...
I picked mine up technically with no reservation and no long waiting line time

If you are buying at the Apple Store, they dont even ask for your verizon details if you are paying full price

I have 2 Verizon 7+'s that I'm using on AT&T, both paid full price.

Good information everyone! Loving my 7, but waiting patiently for a Plus! I check the reservation page daily in hopes of securing one.

Cool, thanks everyone!
