My local Apple store kindly replaced my 4S today due to a hardware problem. I originally bought the phone from Verizon. When the Apple tech tried to program my new iPhone, he said the Verizon servers were down, and that I'd have to take the phone to a Verizon store to have them program it (my luck sucks). He gave me my old sim card and told me to give it to Verizon when I got there.
I go to the nearest Verizon store and instantly became worried when the guy at the counter couldn't even figure out how to open the sim card slot cover. He then disappeared for about a half hour. When he returned, he asked me if the Apple tech had instructed me to re-insert the sim card. I said I assume so, since they told me to give it to you. He then said that the phone won't work if he inserts the sim card. He said I don't need it anyway unless I plan to travel globally.
I'm probably going to make another appointment at the Apple store and verify this, but I'd thought I come here first. Is this guy handing me a line of bull?
