I tried to activate my new phone but forgot to turn off my old 4s and now I can't get my new phone activated either via verizonwireless.com or through the 1-800 number. Do I have any options other than wait for Verizon to be open tomorrow?

Did you try turning off the old phone since you posted?
I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.
