I am about to receive my S4 cellular that will be replacing my current S3 cellular.
Has anybody yet experienced issues when activating the S4 and deactivating the cellular service on the S3? I am anticipating some wobble here with Verizon. So any guidance / experience to date will be helpful. Thanks.

I just unpaired my old one and went to cellular on the new one & it set up automatically! It was pretty quick! BTW...I have AT&T
 
Did you move from a non-cellular to a cellular watch? The activation is indeed pretty simple. However, what I am talking about is deactivation one cellular watch (S3) and activating a cellular S4 instead.

I moved from a cellular S3 to a cellular S4 on Verizon, and it was easy. When you unpair your S3 it will ask you if you want to remove your plan. Select yes, then during setup process on the S4 you choose Restore, and once you login to your My Verizon account it automatically transfers it over to your new S4.

Same here. Worked just fine. Removed the plan and switched to my S4.
