I purchased an iPhone which I’ll pick up tonight. I am buying for the 2nd line on the phone, for my minor son. Since I’m the acct owner, I put my info and checked the “this is a gift” box. I still had to sign up for Verizon payments in order to finance this. Since I won’t be activating until after Christmas, does anyone know how this works? I don’t want to mess up my upgrade Eligibility either.
Hi there bigapplejenn,
Did you purchase the iPhone directly from Apple or through Verizon? If you purchased it from Verizon, you'll want to reach out to them for more information about exactly how to activate it. This link will help you get started: Apple - Support Overview | Verizon
If you run into any issues activating your iPhone, the steps in this support article may help: If you can't activate your iPhone or iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular)
Take care.
