I have 4 rezounds and I can just switch my active sim card between phones & the phone with the card automatically activates on my line when I boot it up.
I pre-ordered a GSlll to burn up my last upgrade. How does it work to switch between phones when the new phone comes with a different sim??
I'm not sure how that works bit if it swaps between all the rezounds, I think it would work with the gs3? Could be wrong. And what the hell do you have 4 rezounds and a gs3 for? Lol

You'll need to get a microsim from Verizon and then if you want to use it on the rezound get a microsim to regular sim adapter. They are not much. Usually a few dollars.

Thanks, ordered an adaptor.
One other question, I used an upgrade on my wife's line to order the GSlll but I want to activate it in my line. How do I do that??

If it uses a SIM card, you just pop your SIM card in.

I heard you can buy a Micro Simcard cutter and trim/cut the SIM card into a microsim and there's an adapter that lets you turn that micro SIM into a regular simcard. Example;

for about 5 bucks you can get a Micro Sim Card Cutter+4 Adapter
heres where you can get just an adapter http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004I53CQ2/ref=oh_o01_s00_i00_details?tag=011080yt-20

So if your rooted and unlocked can you simply switch a Verizon sim card for a Verizon sim card? Like my wife's unlimited data razr sim in place of mine?

I'd say yes. When I got the note, I just pulled the sim from my rezound and put it in the note (had to cut it down to size first). No need to call Verizon for anything.
Yes I did that stock with no problems before I unlocked

Another yes here. Pull the sim out of my galaxy nexus into the note 2 and had no issue. Even updated my account on Verizon within about 5 minutes

This is cool. One thing I always liked on gsm carriers is the ability to swap phones whenever I wanted and as much as I wanted (work phone/play phone). What would really be cool is if could put my Verizon sim in my unlocked nexus 4.........
What if the Verizon note 2 had a bad esn? Would it still work I see a lot of deals on ebay for around 4 hundred!

Nope, once it has a bad enough it can't connect to the network anymore, those aren't worth 400.
Edit: I'm not sure if you can unlock it and put it on another network, but it won't work on Verizon.
Hey guys,
I picked up a LTE Micro SIM card for my Note 2 from my local Verizon store and was looking to activate it. I already own a HTC Rezound but that has the larger regular SIM in it. Is it as simple as activating the new SIM using the directions outlined below? And then popping it in.

Just want to make sure I keep my unlimited.
Thanks,
Chris

You could have also bought a sim card cutter off eBay. But now that you have a smaller sim, pick up an adapter in case you want to use the Rezound again (can't image why). I'm using a nano sim in my Note in an adapter so I can confirm that any sim can be adapted any way.

So I'm planning on selling my dna very soon. Tired of small memory, bad battery life, and sim card problems. My question is, if I remove my sim card, then sell it. Will the buyer still be using my plan because of the esn being linked to my account? Also I want to pay full retail and get an s4. Will just inserting my sim card into the s4 switch my phone over? Thanks guys
Ya the other person who buys will not be using your plan
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
No just putting in your SIM wont work on the s4 .
You first need to release the esn on the DNA once you sell so that the buyer can have a clean esn.
Then after you will call and have the s4 on your account an then use the SIM you had or get a new one

If it's the same SIM yes it would work but you have to relese the old esn bc you have have to devise on one phone so once your account is open meaning no phone on the account you can then swap

You do NOT need to worry about doing anything. Just take out your SIM. When you get another phone, just put it in. I had the same phone on my account, and my boss's account at the same time while just holding onto the SIM cards. (Meaning I didnt have a phone in my possession, JUSt a sim card linked to my account.)
That was when the Galaxy S3 came out, but I've done the same thing multiple times dealing on craigslist to keep my Unlimited data when I didnt have a spare phone available.
Whether or not that is something you are "supposed" to do, I can't speak for that.
SIDE NOTE: On the DNA, make sure to Factory wipe AND wipe under the Storage section... I've bought soo many DNA's with peoples pictures and such on them b/c a factory wipe doesn't delete it all.
Hey guys just wanted to bump this. Thanks for the responses. So how do I go about clearing my dad's esn? And will the sim card swap work or not?

IF it's lte phone just swap the lte SIM and it picks up and registers as your device

Onboard storage is faster, many things have to be stored on the internal storage so it can still run out even with an sd card.

If you can get 400 for the DNA you would be at the top of the market. More likely to get around 350, though you might want to do it soon - VZW is giving away the DNA for free at the moment, and that always pushes resale into the $hitter.
Sent via Note2 with XDA Premium
Let's not get into actually trying to buy or sell on here (rules and all), if you want a DNA, there are some good deals over at swappa.com, let's use that instead.
This thread was ok for advice on wiping and stuff, but I think we've covered that, so I am going to close this up.

Yes, you can cut a standard SIM. I did just that. I am using the One with Tmos $30 pre paid plan.

It it that easy. Just walk into the store with your sim card and ask them to give you a micro sim. Or do what I did, fail at cutting it and ask for a replacement.

Yes, cutting it should be fine. I did it for an unlocked AT&T iPhone 4 I used on T-Mobile that I used while saving up for a One. Just make sure you use a sharp knife and have some sharp scissors for adjustments.
Does anyone knows if the Mega can be made to work on Straight Talk?
I'd venture to say Yes.
As long as you are sim unlocked.
I'm using net 10 which is very similar. Just buy the prepaid cards from WalMart (no contract) and it does 4G just fine.

I think with Straight Talk you have to order the sim from their web-site
Then you buy the mins from Walmart
Walmart sells the Net 10 sim right on the rack
Called bring your own phone kit
Comes with a full size and a micro sim plus first month of service
I think I paid $65.00 for the kit
I activated it on a full size sim from another phone I was using at the time.
On the Mega, I had to cut the sim down with a razor blade.

No I think the reason they give you two cards is they try cover all the bases not knowing what device you have.
Only one card can be activated though.
One or the other.
You can buy two kits but it would twice the money and two different phone numbers.

Very true as when i got my mega from my carrier they gave me a new sim card which was part of the deal..basically a activation fee and my old sim from them was still good with the same number they put to my new sim card, and they told me that my old one will be no good to use even though both sim cards had the same number on it, but i tried my old one anyways and it was no good like they said..it said insert sim card, so no two sims cards can have the same number..would be cool but not happening. :silly:

Yes correct
GSM technology is very secure
I once bought a sim card replicator that promised to duplicate/clone any GSM sim card.
I wanted to do this so I would not have to keep taking battery/cover/sim card from one device and put in another then back again all the time.
I was never going to fire up both devices at the same time
(As that would cause a ripple in the fabric of deep space and a tear in the time/space continuum).
Anyway allz it did was destroy my original sim and I had to pay AT&T $20.00 for a new sim card.

Definately a learning experience
A Radio Shack sales rep wanted to bet me $100.00 that it would NOT work.
If I were a betting man I'd been out another $100.00.
On top of the $ 30.00 I paid l for the cloner
And the $ 20.00 I paid for a new sim card.
Sometimes learning can be expensive
I offer if here for free.
I still think it can be done though.
Just not with that device
Anything man invents can be exploited
I just didn't have the resources to seek out someone who had the capabilities, equipment and knowledge to do it.
Plus no funds to keep buying new sims.
