if I were you I'd talk to ATT first.
Hi all.
I have a Samsung S4 and my wife has an iPhone 5 and I want to move them from Verizon to ATT.
I know I can move them and there's some code I have to set in the phone (either or both), but I have some questions.
First off, what happens to all the Verizon software that's on my phone? Do I have to root it or buy an app like root explorer to take it off? Do I need to remove it to transfer to ATT, or can I just leave it on?
What about software updates from ATT? I'm not going to have all their software installed, so do I then need to manually update the OS, or is that all done from Google independently of the carrier?
Will (or can they) ATT store wipe and install their software on our phones for us if we want?
Thanks for any advice.
