I bought me a Apple iPhone 7 and a Sim Card but I have a question. When activation online. Do I give them IMEI on the box that the phone came in or the Sim Card number or both? I have prepaid service and I click on change device and it says: Enter your new device ID. Is that IMEI number or Sim Card number?

The device ID is the IMEI number. The SIM card number is asked on a different screen.

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

Yes give your IMEI number. It is a 16 digit number. 

  1. From your home screen, select "Settings".
  2. Select "General".
  3. Select "About".
  4. Scroll down to the IMEI, ESN or MEID numbe
