Galaxy S20I 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.
Any insights or workarounds would be appreciated!

Galaxy S20Thanks for the tip. I went ahead and purchased the unlocked version. It just doesn't have the Ultra Wide 5G capability that the Verizon version "UW" has.

Galaxy S20Thanks for answering my question. I guess Verizon is different in that they won't let you buy a phone unless you have active service with them. At least in the past T-Mobile would like you buy a phone without any account.

Galaxy S20You make great points and I'll be happy with my unlocked version and move on. I like the flexibility to move to another carrier without hassle if a better plan comes up in the future.
