i’m hoping Samsung won’t do something stupid like that but i have no faith Verizon will allow improvements. They are already blocking google wallet so they can push their stupid competitor.

Why would they hold them if people pre-ordered them?

this does not work for this issue – it gives an error and tells you that you have to call VZW

My phone has arrived and man is it sweet! Activated it with no problems what so ever. This is a huge upgrade from my terrible DROID X2. Never again, Moto, never again…. Loving the Galaxy S3!!!!!!!

Using the SIM they provided me in the packaging I am unable to activate the phone. It gets stuck on the screen saying “Please wait until your phone has been activated”

Any advice? Call Verizon? Go into a local store?

Edit: Using my OLD SIM it worked perfectly fine! Going from a 4G Galaxy Nexus to the Galaxy S III

I think everyone should just calm down.

I think this problem isn’t limited to the S3, my brother and the other person, both upgraded from 3G phones to the Motorola Razr and Razr Maxx and each time activation wouldn’t go through online, so we ended up having to called Verizon. I think the actual issues are with the SIM cards.
