so, can I just take the sim out and pop in the tmobile sim, then activate it without being asked Verizon account info?
Yes, thanks to the chip they use in it. I am not sure if you will be able to utilize the major bands T-Mobile has.
It will.
Most iPhones in US come in two variants. The ones for Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile are the same but AT&T and T-Mobile aren't unlocked and stuck with Intel. The other variant is catered only to Sprint. Only Verizon comes unlocked and isn't stuck with the Intel modem.
wow, u ordered it online? when u put in ur t-mobile sim, does it asking ur Verizon account info?

thanks, when u purchase the note3, did u being asked for Verizon account info?
Yes, you can activate it on T-Mobile.
All Verizon LTE capable phones are unlocked out of the box because of an agreement Verizon has with the FCC.
Since your phone will be unlocked you can use in with your T-Mob SIM.
iDevices are carrier agnostic. You will only be asked details pertinent to the SIM of the carrier you insert.
It will activate with any sim card in the world.
The verizon iphones are fully unlocked. You can even activate it with old inactive sims also.

I don't think so. The phone is naturally unlocked but it will ask for Verizon account holder's SSN on first start and after that the phone is activated and ready to go. The previous Verizon sim wont be void
to me, as long as the previous sim wont be void, that ll be good. So, the condition what u said happens when I put in tmobile sim before first start?
I’m a T-Mo user and I will be picking up 1 Verizon X in-store on Friday, and having 2 T-Mo Xs delivered that morning as well.
Last year, decided to try a 7Plus and wanted the qualcomm (Verizon Model) due to my international travels. I didn’t pre-oder, rather I watched istocknow.com to find which local store had a verizon or Sprint model in stock).
Long story short, I ended up walking into an Apple store and buying a 7Plus Verizon and a 7plus Sprint model outright. Popped in the t-mo sim prior to first boot and never had any issues. I was never asked for an SSN or anything. Worked like every other unlocked phone I’ve ever had.
