When I got my m8 they activated it, which I didn't know they were going to do. So I asked them to activate my old phone again, which they did on my old SIM.
Verizon said the SIM is for NFC, without the new SIM you won't have NFC even tho your phone is NFC capable. You will lose ISIS capabilities because you will no longer have an NFC SIM.

Impressive that they activated the old SIM. I'm assuming because its a different size that they did that. I've always had one burned. Hopefully their system finally accounts for that.
As for your NFC thing, the new SIM would have to deal with ISIS then, as I used NFC to pay on my M7 and on my GNEX for the last two years. So technically yes you will have NFC and it will work, just ISIS may not work.
I have always been able to recycle SIM cards on verizon

The sim card you have won't work as is. You have a micro sim and the M8 uses a nano sim. That said, you can cut the sim you have down to the correct size so you can use it in the M8. There's all kinds of templates out there that you can use to do it. My guess is though, if you go to a Verizon store they'll probably give you a new one. I've done it once before. Got the new one for nothing. I've read where some people had to pay $10 to get a new one but I didn't have any problems getting one for nothing. It can't hurt to try cutting the one you have down to size though. If you mess up on it, then go to a store. Or, do that first and see what they say. Here's a link for you.
