I'm not sure of the answer to your question. But, I will say this, I HATE when a rep takes the plastic off MY device. Just place the SIM in the device, and power it on, then make sure it can receive a call. I'll do the rest
Yep, OCD a bit?
Not at all! I always ask reps not to even take the phone out of the box if I'm buying it in-store. Lol! I need to savor that moment myself. They get to do it all day long!
