So I’m a new VZ customer that is not feel’n warm and fuzzy so far. When I set service up, I spoke with the retailer directly about these issues and he assured me the work around below would work. I am in transit today and cannot talk with him so I’m throwing this out here.
I need to move the service from my new VZ phone to an older quad-band phone for a couple reasons. For one, I am hard on phones so I’d like to switch to an older phone that I don’t care if I destroy while working outdoors. The other reason is I travel outside the US a lot and need the quad-band access. The salesman assured me it would be an easy swap (after I explained how I usually just slipped my SIM into an old beater phone with my other carrier). Now I try to do that and since to old phone has no service, I can’t! Did this guy just snow me or am I missing something?
