I have an unlocked Incredible 2 that I was using on Verizon's network but I haven't used it in over a year as I up graded to a LG G2. I am going to Europe soon so decided to send away for a European Sim card to put in the Inc 2 but I can't get the phone to work with the new Sim. I talked to VZW tech support for over an hour but they were no help other then telling me the Sim card must be bad. I talked to the company I got the new Sim from and they told me because it's a phone that was used on Verizon's network they (VZW) set it up so you can't use it in the US on a GSM networkto keep you from switching to ATT even if the phone is unlocked, they told me once I get to Europe the phone will work fine, I was just wondering if anyone has heard of this.
