Activate New Off Contract MOTO X on Business Acct Line from Note 2
- I have a new unlocked MOTO X coming from Cyber Wednesday deal to go with my Note 2 on my business account line. I believe the SIM cards are different sizes so I can't just swap between the two which is what I had hoped to do. I am not the business account admin but am friends with him in the office. I would rather not involve anyone from work though if possible.
So the questions:
1. Will the new phone come with a sim installed?
2. Can I just call verizon business support to activate the new phone on my existing line without involving the company admins?
3. Is it easier or better to do this at a corporate verizon store?
4. Is there any way to use both phones on the line without calling Verizon to activate and deactivate each time?
5. Is there a way to do this swapping online without being an account admin? That would be best case.
6. Actually, best case would be to just swap SIM cards but given the different sizes I doubt that is possible. Any work arounds?
Thanks in advance for the info.

Moto X Developer Edition for Verizon - A Google Company
You won't be allowed to do it at a store either unless you are authorized on the account to do it. They will ask for a driver's license from you in store. Over the phone they will ask your name and for the passcode.
However, when you switch between phones by switching SIM cards, it will show up in the account that a new phone is on the line. Everytime I switch SIMs between phones, after I log onto Verizon, I can see that I did that because it shows me what phone is currently on the line. Also, if you have asurion insurance, it only applies to the phone that is active and if you keep switching back and forth, I am not sure how that works with the insurance coverage.
And the account admin can set up the account to have email or text alerts to be notified of this sort of change. So if your company doesn't allow you to do this, you could be found out quite easily.
Remember - you do not own that line; your employer does. Unless you are authorized by your employer to make changes to the account, including changing the phone on a line, I urge you not to do it or you could find yourself in trouble with your employer and depending on what you have done, the law, both criminally and civilly.
It's just not worth it. Ask for permission to do this and if they say no, then don't do it. Or pay for your own verizon account to use the Moto X on.
To reiterate - that line is not yours. It is the property of your employer so treat it like you would treat any property of your employer's and don't do something with it you are not authorized to do.12-10-2013 10:13 AMLike 0 - dpham00Moderator Team VPI am not sure how business accounts work, but for personal accounts, you would have to be either the account owner or account manager. The account owner can assign account managers.
You won't be able to get a new sim unless you are either the account owner or account manager, for a personal line at least.
You cannot use two phones on the same line at the same time, legally at least.
Easiest way to get the Moto X up and running without dealing with Verizon or the account owner /manager would be to cut the micro sim to nano sim

You can get a nano to micro adapter for use with the old phone.

But anyhow, his phone will come with a nano SIM in it. The problem as I explained is that the SIM card has be to associated with his phone number and Verizon will only do that for people who are authorized on the account to do it. From what he has posted, he is not authorized to do it.12-10-2013 10:15 AMLike 0 -

My guess is that his employer would not want him to have an unlocked phone on their account so that is why he doesn't want to involve work.12-10-2013 10:20 AMLike 0 - dpham00Moderator Team VPYeah, but it would show up in the account that he has done this and if he is not authorized to do it, he could get in trouble at work. And as I mentioned an account can be set up such that a text or email alert is sent to the account admin when there is a change to a line.

I don't know too many companies that will allow employees to put unlocked phones on their business line. I would hate to see someone lose their job over something like a phone.dpham00 likes this.12-10-2013 01:04 PMLike 1
