I have heard that Verizon does not want to active a "non-Verizon"
phone on their network. I don't have first-hand experience with
this, so this may be FUD, and if it's not FUD, it may only apply
to some subset of the carriers.
Is it legal to prevent a consumer from having a phone that they
purchased activated on a carrier's network? I go back to the days
when it was "illegal" to plug in a non-MaBell phone into your
POTS jack at home.
2) Same is true for cards. Buy your own card and become the issuer.
Sure, great advice, but not practical in the real world, Scott and
for good or bad, my products live in the "real world" space of having
to operate with cards that have been already deployed.
