If you are a Verizon user experiencing issues with messaging or phone calls, your account may need to be provisioned to support “CDMA-less” devices. Follow these steps:
- Online Activation: Log into Verizon’s website. Navigate to Account > My Devices > Activate or switch device > Activate on an existing line to enable CDMA-less on your SIM.
- Contact Verizon Support: If the online steps do not resolve the issue, contact Verizon’s technical support team or visit a Verizon store. Inform them you have a new phone with an existing SIM card and need to add CDMA-less provisioning to your account.
Note: It may take a few hours for provisioning to be completed. Local Verizon stores may not be able to perform this conversion; contacting technical support directly is often more effective.

- Restart Device: A simple restart can often resolve minor software glitches.
- Check for Updates: Ensure your operating system and apps are up to date.
- Clear Cache: If an app is misbehaving, try clearing its cache in Settings > Apps > [App Name] > Storage > Clear Cache.
