Re: Best Buy Mobile lets me keep Unlimited Data Plan on Verizon?
"1) In the top left corner of the phone, does it say 'Verizon', or just have the signal and Wifi indicator; and 2) if you go to 'Settings'-->'General'-->'About', what does it say next to 'Network'? If it doesn't say Verizon in the corner, and it says the network is Unavailable, you just need to get a new sim card from Verizon"
"The 5S came with a SIM card installed, right? I would still call them up, or maybe call the store, and ask them to activate a new SIM for you on the iPhone. Just tell them that you stopped by a store, but didn't have time for them to go through the entire process, but they gave you a replacement SIM.
Alternatively, try putting it back into the old device and have that active on the line."
The above is what was going on.... my phone number was not showing under settings... phone, hence could not activate imessages and txt was not working properly.
Spent 3 hours with apple support, wiping phone clean and reinstalling, but did not help.
Put original sim that came with phone, and got verizon tech support to fix the issue..
Thx to all of u for your valubale suggestions.
Took alot of time and effort, patience, but don't give up it can be done.
