Activate unlock Note 8

[Android Central Question]

Bought a Note 8 unlock version from Best Buy they could not activate it they told me their system was being block by verizon. So i took the phone to a verizon store and they told me that phone will not work in their network. I went back to Best Buy and we call verizon tech support she told me the same thing but she will be more than happy to sell me a verizon Note 8. I don't want all the bloatware they installed on their phone that's why i wanted and unlock phone..why is verizon doing this..

Idk... I have an unlocked note 8 from best buy on Verizon. I already had an active sim though. All I did was take the Sim out of my old phone and insert it into my N8. Working fine.

Have you tried calling Verizon Wireless level 2 support directly?
