URGENT: Verizon iPhone

Your Best bet is to go to a Verizon Store and have them do it for you.

 

No, all verizon iphone 6 models are fully unlocked and you dont need any contracts to activate it with any gsm sim card.
Unauthorised device?
Where does it give you that message? I never heard of that before.
Maybe unsupported sim?
Post a pic of the message screen if you can.

 

Put any valid active sim in the phone to activate it.

 

if you are trying to activate phone for first time, you need to have a valid sim card. Any GSM will do.

 

Welcome to NYC

 

Do you have the verizon sim card, no card or what inside of the phone? If you have no sim card, then that's your problem.

 

How is anything phone related Urgent ?

 

Take out the sim that came with it.
Put in a working US gsm sim card from another carrier.
Make sure you're connected to wifi and then the phone should activate.
It should activate with your netherlands gsm sim also if you're connected to wifi.
You're 100% sure its a verizon iphone 6 and not a Sprint iphone 6 right?

 

Did your 5 with the European sim card work in the US? If so, hook it up to itunes on your computer and activate that way.

 

Do as applejuiced said over wifi, or via itunes on your computer.

 

Connect to a wifi in order to activate it.
Put your european sim inside and it should activate fine.

 

That's very weird.
Try to get your money back then from the ebay seller.
Not sure if its maybe reported lost/stolen and blacklisted?

 

The ebay score doesn't really mean anything to you if you paid for a phone that you cannot use or activate right?

 

Why not go buy a cheap prepaid verizon 4g phone. Buy the cheapest service u can prolly $10-$20. Then take out the SIM card in there have it cut down to nano size. (most small cell stores have sim cutters) stick it in the iPhone 6 and you should be able to activate and then you will be good to go.

 

Weird cause it should activate with any gsm sim.
Give a tmobile or AT&T sim card a try also to see if it activates by any chance. See if you can borrow someones for a minute just to test it out.
Be connected to wifi so the activation process can go through and let us know if that did it or not.
Best of luck to you.

 

This is very strange -- would be the first time hearing of a VZW iPhone 5S or newer having this issue.

If I were you, I'd try at least one more thing before giving up: put the SIM from your European carrier in the device, and then have iTunes do a full restore on the iPhone (followed by activation via wifi). I have no idea whether this will work, but perhaps it will reset something that is causing the issue.

 

Restore the os from within iTunes, doing a complete factory reset. This will remove the Verizon activation, allowing you to activate it with your gsm SIM card. Had to do the same when trying to activate a vzw 6 with an AT&T card.

 

Can't you use a GSM card that is loaded with minutes (no contract)?

Would any of these work?
