Hey everyone,
I've been reading this topic since the begining, and I wanted to say thanks for keeping me entertained throughout the waiting process. My phone came about an hour and a half ago, and I've been enjoying every minute of it! Be patient!
Anyway, just a few things:
- Switching to a different line was pretty easy. Once I activated it through iTunes, I went on the Verizon website and swapped a new phone onto the line my iPhone was activated on. The second part, putting the iPhone onto the next line, is easier. For some reason the website didn't like the MEID I put on there. So I called up the Verizon Customer Service line and I got a very helpful gentleman named Mike. After talking about the Super Bowl and Larry the Cable guy, he instructed me that all I needed to do was dial *228 and the backend would do the rest of the work. Sure enough, it did, and I was using the phone a minute later.
- Using the Verizon Transfer app, MAKE SURE YOU ARE NOT ON WI-FI. I tried getting it to work, then turned off Wi-Fi, and voila, contacts transfered (after entering an SMS code). Must only work over the network.
