On the contrary - I just did this. I'm a current AT&T customer and ordered a bare phone for my eventual transition to Verizon.

I'm in the US - maybe this is not available in your region.



If you ordered an at&t iphone 7 that way, it won't work because the intel modem chip in the att/tmobile versions doesn't support cdma bands: http://www.recode.net/2016/9/9/12863302/apple-iphone-7-intel...


If you're an AT&T customer looking to switch to Verizon, you order a Verizon phone, not an AT&T phone.


Yep, that's what they told me at the store, so I ordered a Verizon phone. To the parent's point, I had no problem doing this, I am not currently a Verizon customer and they sold me a bare phone without a contract.
