Im in need of a new sim card and Verizon requires me to bring me device to them to install and activate my new sim. I have SS installed with jelly beans running. Should I be worried about what's Ribot on my phone? Should I ODIN back to stock just to get a new sim? Should I just say f it and bring my phone in the way it is?

How do I go about getting one online?

I would just call customer service and say that you want it mailed. Tell them you didnt like the customer service at the store and dont want to go back. They will mail it.

Im going to be switching back to this DROIDX for a week or 2 to make sure everythings smooth and fully operational before I put it up for sale. I have no problem using verizonwireless.com to activate 3g phones, its the 4g ones with sim cards im lost about. Can someone help me out a little here?

You shouldn't have any trouble. Just make sure you have verizon send you a new lte sim.

These are only one use sims? That seems stupid and cost ineffective
Sent from my ADR6400L
Yep. Gsm phones on verizon do to but they don't need the sim for activation like lte phones do. You could call customer service and have them mail one to you so when you're ready to switch back you won't have to wait for it to come in the mail. Then all you have to do is call, tell them you want to switch phones and they'll ask for your meid on the t bolt and the number on the sim card.

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.
I flashed a new kernel and my Dna went into a loop on the white screen. I got into recovery and flashed back to Nos M7 v1.0.6 with stock kernel. Now it has no signal and can not call out. It keeps saying perparing sim card. Anybody had this happen?
The same issue you describe happened to me a couple of weeks ago and now my phone works only 2g. Have you tried using it in gsm only mode?? What kernel have you flashed? Beastmod?
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
Yeah and it come up with no service. The last kernel was beast mod 5.0

Are you on Verizon? Because I'm a gsm user. As far as I know the only fix for this is to replace the phone. I cannot since I bought this phone online and I'm using it in another country overseas so send it back for replace it'll cost me 200+.
The 3g/4g antenna is a very delicate coil, during the beastmod flashing bootloop the phone got extremely hot so the antenna coil should be damaged/grounded.

Thanks for the info. I have just got the phone back to stock. Time to call Verizon to get a replacement!
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk 2
It sucks because I will most likely get a updated replacement
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk 2
Verizon sent me updated replacement and new sim card but I did a factory reset with the new sim card and my old phone is up and running. They told me it must of been just a bad SIM so I could just send back the new phone
The tec told me there is going to be a new update in 2 week but wouldn't say if it was sense 5
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 2
I doubt there will be an update in 2 weeks most of those reps don't have a clue what they are talking about. I called one time because my data was gone and the rep had the same phone and he said "oh my data hasn't been working eaither" he walked me through steps I had already gone through and fixed his issue but then proceeded to tell my my modem was dead. Well I told him it wasn't o got transfered to a higher tier and they fixes it. But we will just have to see I guess. Hopefully that's the case that we get one and get sense 5 that would be nice for those of us who are locked down.

So my buddy is selling a Verizon galaxy note 2 and I was gonna buy it for my girl, but its been turned off by verizon. I was thinking about taking the sim out and putting it on straight talk, with one of there tmo or at&t sim cards. But idk if that would work. Anyone have any ideas?

I see people posting about using bad ESN phones on straight talk all the time. I'm not brave enough to try it, but apparently somebody is making it work.
I pulled the trigger and grabbed super cheap so if this doesnt work ill just use it on wifi. I have the sim installed and everything, but im getting an error when sending calls or text so idk ill see wbat i can figure out.

great to hear that it worked out for u :laugh:
Can you let everyone know what you had to do please?
I used an apn unlock mod I believe and just stuck the sim in and put in the correct apn settings and it worked.
The mods here on xda

Just got this phone yesterday and already having issues. Before I even rooted this thing the hands free activation didn't go through smoothly. I attached a pic below. That is one of the things that pops up.
Also, another screen pops up a lot. Device self help or something like that. It states something to the effect of, must complete this by pressing *2 on my phone to reach a representative.
Mind you that data works and so do phone calls. I actually called Sprint and they said that from their end everything is activated. This is driving me nuts. Any ideas?

Did you try update profile in settings and reboot?

When I got my phone from Best Buy, I was getting a different SIM related error and it required a new SIM before the issue went away.

I tried to update PRL and Profile to no avail. I'm going to take Viper's advice and try to get the Sim switched out

Have you tried doing a factory reset from the stock recovery? You can also do it by going to Setting/General/Backup and Reset/Factory Data Reset

I also purchased my note 3: from Best Buy and the sales guy said it would be better to use my sim from the s4 so it would not require activation. On my way home from the store I also received all the same errors you did and I called Sprint. The lady reviewed my account and said everything looked great but put me on hold when I told her about the sim exchange. She said to put the original sim that came with the phone back in the phone. When I rebooted everything seems to be ok. Except all the other issues I'm having with the phone, I will be returning it in a few days. This is the first phone I have never purchased a case for because I have no intention of keeping it with all its problems. I really like the note 3 but if the major issues on worked out I'll be on the s4 until they are.
