Hey Everyone,
This is my first post here as I finally got myself an Iphone 5 & I have some questions that I hope you guys can help me with so here goes. I am getting a replacement on my Iphone 5 (which is currently deactivated) as I was having issues with it and Apple Support emailed me the shipping label etc, do I go ahead and send them the phone & wait for my replacement phone to come in or do I first wait for the replacement to come in and then proceed with sending my phone over, also on average how long does it take for them to send the replacement phone in? I asked the representative over the phone about how this works & he said that I would get the replacement & I would then return my existing phone in the same box (with the shipping labels attached) but in the email with the print labels it asks me to ship my existing phone within 14 days so that is whats confusing me.
My second question is, since I am replacing a Verizon Iphone 5, which is meant to be unlocked, can I immediately activate it with another carrier or do I first need to activate it on Verizon & then deactivate it again in order for it to be unlocked. I guess I am just looking for some info on the activation process and if I can straight away activate it with another carrier without worrying about Verizon. Sorry for the noob questions but if someone can clear this up I would highly appreciate it.
Thanks
