Activation Question - SIM Swap & New Line

[Necrocis]

Basically I added another line to pickup the S3. I plan on using it on my main line but will use a dumb phone for the new line. My question is do I have to activate the new SIM? I almost think I would per contract terms.

Thanks for any assistance.

I just went ahead and activated the SIM. Now time for the shifting things over.

Working fine so far. I didn't have any dumb phones left so I ordered a used one. My account on VzW shows the S3 under my main line & new line.

I know this will work since I did the same thing w/ my Xoom. It's kinda nice in a way since my mother is who is elderly is on my plan. Now she has a back up phone because of the swap w/ the Xoom.

I'm also getting a good price on my Nexus so it all works out in the end.

Alright just so I am clear on what you did. You activated the s3 with the new line and sim card, then you swapped the sim cards around? Did you wait any amount of time before swapping? Mine will be here Tues and only staying with Verizon for unlimited data.

I activated the SIM then backed up my Nexus. I then swapped the cards, run the Nexus on Wi-Fi w/ no SIM.

Awesome thanks for the info.

My new line is now running an old Motorola phone.

I'm glad to hear this worked. My friend is planning on doing the same thing.

So, your old card is in the s3 now right? Where is the new card?

Could you have just moved the SIM from your Nexus to the SIII?

I activated the new sim in the s3 signed into my Google account let things settle for a few minutes then powered down s3 and swapped the sim cards around with my nexus.

I never activated the new SIM as it was for my wife's line. I had to go to a Verizon store and get a SIM for my line there. No problems yet. Was activated yesterday.

It's bunking with my old Bionic SIM.
