verizon note 3 will have embedded sim cards

[thechidz]

I was also worried about the embedded wording. I positive that just means the phone comes with a sim installed. It it's not removable mine will be going right back as well but I doubt that will be the case

Those with the embedded SIM listed on your pre-order, was that a dummy phone upgrade?

Anyone with an LTE to LTE upgrade here have anything different listed on their pre-order? (DIRECTSIM4G-D)

Mine was a dummy phone upgrade on an additional line with embedded SIM listed.

No, mine was a dumb phone upgrade so I guess we will simply have to wait and see.

Mine was a full retail purchase over the phone. But I remember when looking through the process online, there was a point where it asked if you wanted to use your previous sim or not, and if you planned on using it internationally. Maybe that could tell us something?

Anyone here choose to keep using your existing sim, and have a confirmation that doesn't list "embedded sim"?

Everyone who has "embedded sim" listed, did you opt for a new sim to be included?

I didnt ask for or deny one, so I'm assuming they just included one with the order. Maybe this thread can be pointed out to someone higher up at VZW?

FWIW,

When I ordered online to replace my Droid DNA part of the order process said your current SIM is compatible with the Note 3. Do you wish to use the same SIM?

That tells me definitely removable.

Which option did you opt for, and what did your order confirmation say?

 

[AZwldcats]

Couldn't complete the order online.

Online thinks I have an incompatible plan because I have the Mexico 1000 option on my account.
Had to call in to complete.

If it has an embedded SIM, I guess it's either the One Max or AT&T.

i had no questions about the sim....just if i was going to use the phone internationally....

OK. So if someone here has chosen to use their current sim, and does not have the "embedded sim" listing in their order confirmation, that may give us the answer.

i wish i had been able to make the choice to use my current sim.....who knows, hopefully this is just a matter of verizon using odd wording.

I pre-ordered it online to replace my DNA as well and I elected to keep my existing sim card and it does still say "Embedded SIM" on my order. I have no doubt that it is removable however and mine shouldn't actually have a SIM card already in it.

 

[Simon_y7]

People like me can and will continue shaking in our boots, but the truth of the matter is that we ain't gonna know nothing until actual phones show up.

 

[Almeuit]

i called verizon back and this one told me that the note 3 will have a removable sim card, i said but it says embedded sim card on my confirmation. he said well that means a sim card will come in the phone. i asked, so i will be able to take it out.. he said yes.....

not sure what the real story is...now i'm confused......

Your asking reps that are guessing. Wait till reviewers have it in their hands and tell you.

yes, i agree....i know i started the doomsday thread, but it just caught me totally off guard to get any waffling from the reps. figured they'd just tell me that the wording was confusing and that of course i could use my existing sim ......

No way this doesn't have a swappable SIM. ABSURD

Have actual owners proved this early rumor to be true or not?

 

[nDroid3]

Don't think so. Because they usually break it off the big card and activate it before putting it in the phone. I know up until 4glte Verizon didn't use removable Sim cards.. So to me the old phones were imbedded. These are new to be activated and installed. It is diff that the Sim on the droids I'd behind the volume rocker. But I guess it was less space to take up

Since Verizon started using Sim cards every Verizon phone that I've ever purchased from BestBuy has always come with a preinstalled Sim card already inside the phone. No matter if its been bought in the actual store or shipped from their warehouse...its always come with a Sim.
I'm thinking it was a bad choice to use "Embedded" as I am pretty sure it is only implying that it has a preinstalled sim ...which is removable and able to be replaced...without having to replace the entire phone.

It wouldn't make sense since the phones now a days have all the radios (well mostly) so you can travel internationally easier.

If you couldn't remove the SIM then you couldn't use the international carriers which would not make customers happy especially since the phone has the radio to do so.
