Iphone 5S - SIM free

Long story short, I have a line on a verizon account that is not eligible for an upgrade anytime soon. The phone on that line is broken and there was no insurance on the line.

I am going to buy an iPhone 5s through the apple store, but I have a question before I buy it. If I were to buy the unlocked SIM-free (which requires a GSM-compatible SIM) would I be able to activate it and get a Verizon SIM card through the store? Would this be any extra charge?

Thanks in advance.

Maggslo, Yikes. Sorry to hear about the state of your current device. I would be very lost with out my cell phone. You would always be able to take the device into any of our Verizon Wireless Corporate Store locations and get a new sim card for free. You can always locate the nearest corporate store location by following this link: http://bit.ly/3SdsA

Along a similar line of thought I purchased sim cardless iphone 5s so that I could apply a newly purhased FlirOne IR attachment. I did not need to upgrade my phone at the time so no line was needed.

When I want to add a device can I acquire a sim card for this device and transfer one of my lines to it or perhaps add it as another line?

Great question! When you are ready, you will be able to walk into a Verizon store and receive a sim card at no charge.
