I want to buy the S20 FE to use on Visible, Verizon's pre-paid carrier. When I try to buy the Verizon version, the website asks me to enter my Verizon account info or to create an account before I can check out. I can order the unlocked version but I learned that the Verizon version of the phone has additional support for mmwave.
I did not realize you needed a Verizon account to buy their version. This seems odd as I've been able to order T-Mobile phones in the past without needing a T-Mobile account.
How are people who want to use phones on MVNO's supposed to be able to buy them? I guess they want us to buy the unlocked versions in that case. But this is unique since the Verizon version is special.
Sorry I keep posting, but I keep thinking of stuff. Another big plus is whenever you do decide to get a new phone you can get those great deals they offer people who aren't already customers. I hate that brand loyalty gets you nothing when it comes to phones.
I get wonderful deals on lots of other services that I've had a long time. For example I've had Comcast since before they ever thought of the word Xfinity, and they bend over backwards to make me happy cause I'm a "preferred customer"(I think that's what they call it) I've had free HBO and/or Showtime for years. They always offer one or the other free for 3-6 months, so they can offer it to people who are having technical or billing issues to make them happy. I tell them straight up that my free offer ran out and I want it back. They give it to me everytime.
