A: I was in this same situation about a month ago, an active Verizon customer wanting to upgrade my phone (the one I had was 4 years old). When I bought my new phone through the Best Buy website it provided the option to add on a free set-up appointment in a Best Buy store. I added this on as I was already picking up the phone from my Best Buy store and scheduled the appointment for when I wanted to pick it up. They did everything for me including activating the phone and transferring everything from my old phone to the new one! For reference, I was going from an iPhone 7 to an iPhone 12 mini. Verizon can also do the activation in store, and I'm not sure if you can do it on your own. I am just not very good with tech compared to others my age and figured I would have Best Buy do it for me since it was free to add on the appointment!
Q: Does Best Buy take trade-ins for a new Apple 12 mini purchase?
A: No, they don’t. I tried and they said it’s too early. I don’t like the phone, personally, due to all of the bugs. Wireless charging wouldn’t work after updating to 14.2.1. Also, Apple Watch series 4 keeps resetting itself and not communicating with the phone, etc. I downgraded to an iPhone 11 Pro. They battery life is much better.
Q: This is for an existing line. Can I activate when I receive it without going to the store?
A: Yes, you can. It’s quite easy and intuitive. You’ll also save by not having to pay the $20-$40 carrier set up fee.
Q: Does this phone still require a screen saver be applied or is the glass shatter resistant?
A: Although ceramic shield protects from drops/cracks… It however does not protect any better from the last generations in regards to scratching. So you still might want to get a screen protector if that is something you’re worried about. Hope this helps!
Q: Can I activate with any carrier?
A: No, this iPhone is not unlocked. Check with your carrier for their unlocking policy.
Q: Will this work on a Verizon pre paid account?

Q: FREE PHONE?

Q: When will this phone get reviewed.
