U.S. mobile carrier Verizon Wireless announced recently that customers are able to bring in devices from other carriers, get them unlocked, and activated. Verizon started offering the program this week and said that it applies to Apple’s iPhone and Google’s Nexus 6 as well. The only thing that needs to be done for the device to work is to get it unlocked before being activated.
Head on over to Verizon’s website to see if your iPhone or Nexus 6 qualifies for the new program. Users have to first input the device ID (either the IMEI, MEID, or ESN), and then either an existing SIM ID number or a new Verizon SIM card on the next page, and finally if the device qualifies Verizon will show users what plans they are eligible for. This is definitely Verizon’s way of luring in more customers from other mobile carriers.
Customers are probably more likely to switch over to a new carrier if they don’t need to purchase another device. This ensures that in the future though, users will purchase Verizon branded devices. It is more appealing if you can get your phone or tablet unlocked when you switch over to a new carrier, many customers did that with T-Mobile. Would you consider switching carriers if you can now unlock your device and use Verizon? Share with us in the section below.
