Carrier activation meaning that the phone MEID is confirmed with Verizon for activation on your account. That's how I take it. Just trying to figure out why it was delayed compared to other who ordered on the 14th. I ordered pretty much after the pre-orders went live.

i ordered an UNLOCKED phone from Samsung this time, S21 Ultra.
my current phone is also from Samsung last year, also an UNLOCKED S20 Ultra.
my provider is TMobile.
there's no reason why i can't just pop my TMobile SIM card out of my unlocked S20 Ultra and put it into my new S21 Ultra and it should all work, right?
from time to time, they won't let older SIM cards work.

Originally I ordered right after too but had to cancel due to deciding on 512 from 256 an d then again cause I accidentally chose Unlocked by mistake that is why ours is the 15th. It had said Verizon 512's weren't available but the chat guy said try back in the morning and than it worked.
Oh and which Zagg did you order? I know their is 3 different ones. When the guy at the Kiosk put mine on my S10 plus a few months back I said oh I have a 25% coupon in my email and he knocked off 10 bucks.
The glass fusion hybrid plus. Not sure if I will use it. Is really not glass like I thought it would be. There are a few whitestone knock offs on Amazon that I may try that use the UV light to cure it. I would hate to pay $70 for whitestone.
I ordered mine pretty late on the 20th and originally it says delivery date of the 29th. I just got an email saying it's shipping and expected delivery date is tomorrow the 27th, but when I check FedEx it says Thursday. They also don't have the package yet so it might update.
Finally got my S21+ ordered. Samsung was taking too long to try to figure out my issue so decided to do it on the website instead of the app and forego the additional $10 credit. (samsung did give me the promo code to get $200 total credit, instead of the $150 offered on the website) Of course all this waiting around means now I have to wait for the phone. Shows it is backordered and will ship the week of 2/19. I'm sure that can change. Was just curious, this is the first time I did upgrade through Samsung. Do they always offer the option for additional down payment upfront?

you definitely win the prize for the first one to receive it! what memory size did you order?
do you have any choices in colors for the 512 variant in Canada? no choice here in the US: black only, though it's a nice black - frosted.
most of us are waiting for FedEx tomorrow, not today here in the US.

I was beginning to except that i wouldnt get my phone until the 29th. I ordered the + on the 22nd so kind of close. They charged my CC on the 24th. But just now i got an email from TMO saying it shipped. Sure enough the tracking took me to UPS with a delivery of 27th. But seeing where it is now KY i wont get the phone until way later in th evening.
I guess its just my luck, the buds pro, case and phone should all be here on the 27th.
Im stoked. Hope yall get it early too!

none, zilch, not even two colors.I'm not familiar with T-Mobile, however based on the fact that your previous phone was 5G and this one is as well, the SIM card that you have in there now should be provisioned for 5G. Switching it over should work.
I've learned most carriers want you to get a new SIM card, and know there are technical reasons behind it. But I also know AT&T (my previous carrier before Spectrum Mobile) did it so they could charge you an "upgrade fee". That always irritated me.

So lucky! Yes here in the US the 512 was only available in black. We originally wanted silver and that's pretty too. But I am liking the black now after seeing it at Best Buy. Plus their will be a case on mine anyway.
It's recommended not to post your IMEI number publicly. It can be used to hack your phone or account, and fraudsters know to look on these forums for people who post photos like that.
FedEx just picked up my phone and it is still saying delivery Thursday where Samsung is still saying delivery tomorrow? Are these all shipping Overnight? I'm wondering if it will update later this evening with delivery tomorrow.
