Sorry to keep asking about this, but my phone comes tomorrow and I need help. I sprung for the T Mobile, hoping to activate it on verizon.
Apparently, this is entirely possible, but I need a bit of help.
rgG posted "go to the Verizon store and tell them you are getting a new phone from eBay and you will need a new SIM for it, so you can activate it, when it arrives. You will still need to borrow a Verizon LTE 4G phone, with the same size SIM, to activate the SIM, as the TMobile iPhone won't work to activate, but should work once you pop the activated SIM in."
So this is what I intend to do. I'm ok getting the SIM, but can someone help me with PRECISE instructions on how to activate the SIM on a Verizon phone that is someone else's phone? Do I just remove their SIM, pop the other one in, and then what?
What activates it?
After that, do I just pull the SIM and put it in my phone, then replace their original SIM, no harm, no foul?
I certainly don't want to screw up someone else's phone, so I apologize in advance, but I need help here.
