Can one of you techies explain to me about setting up the phone before inserting my SIM card (from my current Moto X 2013)?
I came across a reddit (unfortunately a day late, so I couldn't ask a question) where someone who had already got his Pure was answering questions, and he noted he set up his phone before inserting his SIM card. He and some of the other participants said they had heard this allowed you to bypass VZW's tethering restrictions for a service like FoxFi, but they didn't really go into any detail about it.
What exactly did they mean by setting it up before the SIM? Does it simply mean downloading your Google account and apps to the phone over wifi before putting in the SIM and connecting to VZW?
