Hi all,

I tried to search for this topic and was unable to located it, so I hope I'm not duplicating a thread. First of all thanks for all the hard work you guys put in to help keep the Note 7 afloat! I still have my Note 5 and usually have to fly once or twice a week. I'm wondering if I can just switch my SIM card to my Note 5 for the trips and then back to the 7 once I return. The reason I worry is that I know that when a family member tried to activate a replacement Note 7 after the second recall, it wouldn't allow him to activate on the Verizon network. That makes me unsure about being able to use the Note 7 again once I return and switch the Sim card back over. Has anyone had any luck trying this or any ideas on if it will allow me to pick back up with the Note 7 again?

Thanks!

I was planning on switching over to my note 3 when I fly out to cali in april as well. I think you just have to call and activate the note 5 with your sim in the note 5 and on return you do the same to get the note 7 back up and running. You just cant have two of the same number running at a time with any carrier you have.

I switch from Note7, Note 5 and S7E all the time same SIM. NO need to activate unless you are on a different Network (Verizon going to ATT)

Awesome, so I can switch the SIM and it should go right along workout a hitch since I'm going Verizon to Verizon? Just curious RRiVEN, what network are you with?
