Finally! I am free!!

If you don't go this route, and try to get it unlocked as a new customer, their policy is to make you wait 90 days.

I'll try this route since I'm half way through the 90 day period already. Thx.

And absolutely NO CONTRACT!

Exactly.
That's why I'm with Tmo to begin with. I have commitment issues

I've been a customer with AT&T since 08' and they still tried to make me wait 90 days. I kept calling back and the 3rd person finally submitted a case for me.

That's just wrong and the opposite of their advertised unlock process. Glad you managed to get someone helpful in the end.

This might be a weird question, but has anybody tried to used the sim from the gear s on a smartphone? does that work, and will verizon know that change and increase the cost from $5 to $15/$25?

Verizon can tell when a non-VZW Nexus 6 is accessing the network vs. an unlocked Nexus 6 sourced elsewhere. I'm sure they'll be able to tell when a ESN (the CDMA equivalent of an IMEI) specific to a wearable device/plan is being used with a phone or tablet. When T-Mobile first launched their wearables plan a bunch of non-wearable owners began using it on phones and tablets. It was short lived.

Someone tried that on T-mo and they can no longer use the card in the Gear S now. It was posted either here or on xdadev.

I did not know the Verizon Gear S has a SIM card slot, btw, since Verizon is a CDMA carrier.

It doesn't.

Verizon doesn't use SIM cards in Gear S (so is Sprint). So, there is nothing you can do.

On GSM providers like T-Mo and AT&T, you can swap your SIM cards but the carrier like AT&T does detect phone models from the IMEI number of the phone whenever you turn it on.

It doesn't.

I thought that sounded strange...
