Verizon still plays games with phones purchased through them, however. Their new plan, "Edge", is only discounted to a reasonable rate if you also purchase a phone from them through monthly installments. The cheapest phone they offer that qualifies for this discount ($15/m) is $200.
So, no bringing your own device, unless you like paying more for the same service.
- ck2 11y agoExcept you can't bring your own non-verizon device, even if it is LTE, they won't allow it on their network.
- adrr 11y agoI thought they couldn't discriminate on devices. When government auctioned off the old TV frequencies, thats was part of the agreement. LTE is using these bands.
- JoshGlazebrook 11y agoThey can't stop you from using a device that technically works on their network. Say for instance you bring an unlocked AT&T iPhone 6 to Verizon. If you have an existing sim card (all LTE devices have them even on Verizon), you can simply swap your sim card into the device and it will activate automatically and work just fine. However, if you take that device into the store and need to get a sim card, they will refuse to give you one as they only activate devices that are on their whitelist. A way around it would be to just borrow someone else's Verizon LTE capable smartphone to activate temporarily to get a sim card and then just swap it into your device you want to use.
