This wikiHow teaches you how to activate your Verizon iPhone. Activating your iPhone is as simple as turning on and setting up the iPhone, but there are some steps you must take before activating the phone in order to ensure that the activation is a success.

Steps

  1. Turn off the iPhone if it isn't already off. Press and hold the iPhone's Power button until you see the slide to power off switch appear at the top of the screen, then swipe the switch to the right.
    • If the iPhone is a previously used one, you'll first need to make sure that it has been wiped to factory settings.
    • You also need to make sure that your Verizon SIM card is in your iPhone.
  2. Back up your old phone's information. This includes things like your contacts, your settings, and your on-phone data like photos and videos. How you do this will depend on your current phone:
    • iPhone - Use iTunes or iCloud to back up your information. You'll be able to restore the backup once you activate your iPhone.
    • Android - Use Google to back up your Android. You'll be able to transfer your contacts onto your iPhone later.
    • If you have Verizon Cloud on your phone, you can back up your information to Verizon Cloud and then restore it later from the Verizon Cloud app.
  3. Turn off your old phone. If your old phone is still turned on, Verizon won't be able to activate your iPhone. You should wait for a few minutes after turning off the old phone before attempting to activate your new phone.
    • If your old phone isn't a smartphone, consider removing the battery as well.
  4. Turn on your iPhone. Press and hold the Power button until the Apple logo appears, then release the button and wait for the phone to start up.
    • You should see a screen that says "Hello" in several different languages when the iPhone finishes starting up.
    • If your iPhone is low on battery, attach your iPhone to its charger as well.
  5. Tap Get Started. This is at the bottom of the screen. Doing so will begin the iPhone setup process.
  6. Select a language and region. Tap a language that you want to use, then tap your current region.
  7. Select Use Cellular Connection on the "Network" page. This will allow your iPhone to connect to the Verizon LTE network.
    • If you don't have a cellular connection, you can instead select a Wi-Fi network, though you may have to connect your phone to iTunes in order for the activation to complete.
  8. Follow the rest of the on-screen prompts to set up your iPhone. Once you arrive at the Home screen, your iPhone is completely set up.
    • At this point, you can restore your iPhone from iTunes or iCloud if you backed up your old iPhone.

Tips

  • If you backup your old iPhone to iCloud, you can restore the backup within the first few steps of the iPhone activation.
