Re: Article failed to clarify

Part of the 700Mhz was to provide open access, so you could easily put an activated LTE SIM in an unlocked device, but if you go into Verizon w/ the device they won't give you a new SIM (or more correctly UICC).

Verizon doesn't do BYOP, even on 3rd party (PPC) they don't allow UICC on any MVNO.

I went into Verizon to buy an ipad, and they wouldn't just let me buy the ipad (I was going to move the UICC from my Jetpack to ipad), they wanted me to activate the ipad on a plan. Well f**k you. I had to go to the Apple store, buy the ipad, and put the UICC in.

One interesting thing is once I put the UICC in the ipad, it showed up on my account as an ipad, and if I put the UICC back in the Jetpack they disable it.

So long story short, Verizon is a bunch of commies and does what they want.

As to Nexus 5, go to MVNO and pay half the amount. Verizon can screw.

When I dumped Sprint, I had a choice of AT&T and Verizon. It is stories like this that helped me choose AT&T.

You are a bit delusional if you think that att is any better than vz.
granted situation was tolerable on 2g/3g gsm. with LTE it is a free-for-all, screw whoever you can screw over.
