    Verizon gives its customers the best 5G network nationwide. Bring your own device also gives the customer the option to go with pay as you go or postpaid with cheap plans. thanks Verizon

    This is a byod simcard for Verizon phone service! All you need is a verizon or an unlocked phone and you're good to go! Please note that the plans are sold separately because this is not a kit. It is only a simcard.

    I needed the Verizon nano sim card for my unlocked Moto G7 smartphone because the Verizon micro sim I bought a long time ago wouldn't fit. This sim kit was pretty quick and easy to activate service. I called the number and registered my device so I could get a new Verizon phone number and applied my minutes (the $50 Verizon prepaid card) because the online activation was too complicated for me since I hadn't had service for a long time. If you're only using WiFi and don't already have phone service you'll probably find it easier to call and activate by typing your information in the keypad as the automated voice guides you through the steps. I had some difficulties with online activation so I went with the quick easy option of calling. The instructions on the packaging are pretty straight forward. I'm happy with this purchase because now I have very fast connection at home and away from home. Check the Verizon coverage map to see if you'll have connection where you live and work before going through with the purchase though. It's very high speed in my area.

    Great Verizon signal, BUT they don't tell you...

    First, following their activation instructions failed, so no My Verizon account was created. My number did port and texts functioned. Verizon service is far and away the best in my area so I was happy with that. What they DON'T tell you is that unless you bring an unlocked iPhone or high end phone from Google, Samsung or LG (or locked Verizon branded phone) you WILL NOT have WiFi calling nor visual voicemail enabled. Even if your phone supports it. Multiple escalations have not resolved the problem. At the end I got a Google Voice number for the voicemail and WiFi calling, but it's a hassle I didn't expect, and if either of these are a deal breaker, either go Verizon postpaid or look elsewhere.

    I have Google Pixel 3a and had AT&T pay as you go but least month it started acting funny and I could no longer get LTE service so I was not going very fast *sad face* I found out it was a AT&T thing and called them up but no luck so I went to Best Buy and made the switch. In fact I got double the data! Now I have 16GB instead of 8. I cannot speak on how hard the tech was as I being old just asked if they would do it for me and they did so it was super simple for me. Lol
