Hi, I just purchased a white Verizon iPhone 5 through Apple's website last night doing that "wait till 10PM" thingy. I snagged a 64GB off contract. I just received the email telling me that its available for pick up. And I will pick it up after work today.

But my question is, I am currently using a Verizon iPhone 4. This iPhone doesn't have a SIM card slot but the iPhone 5 does. Does the iPhone 5 I purchased from the Apple Store come preinstalled with one or do I have to take a trip over to Verizon to get one?

And is it true Verizon's iPhone 5 are unlocked?

And how do I activate the Verizon iPhone 5? Do I have to turn off my iPhone 4 during the process or what?

It'll come with directions
 
They will activate it for you at the Apple store. Once you turn it on it should be active.
