Hello and thanks in advance. I did a search and was not able to easily find this info. I am getting a replacement iPhone 5 shipped to me from Apple, and I am just wondering how to activate it (Verizon phone, USA). I think I just need to remove the SIM card from my old phone, place it in the new one and turn it on. I was wondering if it is as simple as that or if there may be anything else I need to do. I ask here because I figured there are people who have done this before at home.
I am not asking about the actual restoring from backup, etc., just the Verizon activation of the actual phone/data service.
Thanks again, I appreciate any input.
