Sim cards and carriers, discussion

[bcnaz]

So, I'm using verizon and they don't like the pinephone's IMEI. But, I have a Samsung S5 with a micro sim - can I just pull it and transfer it over, and expect things to work? :/

Try an MVNO (reseller)
I have had no problems activating or using resellers sim cards on gsm/lte carrier services.

the resellers have never refused to activate my service.

The service is actually at&t or t-mobile as the carriers,  but sold at a discount under the resellers name.
