I pre-ordered so that I could get in on the unlimited data "glitch". When ordering, I guess I must've been anxious because I accidentally ordered the white when I actually wanted the black. Do u guys think Verizon will swap it for me at a store? What's most important is keeping my unlimited data so if it means that I'll have to keep the White, then so be it.
[Q] Will Verizon swap my pre-ordered white for a black?

i would suggest not even opening the box and taking in store and swapping. that would be the easiest way and get a nice manager

One.. couldn't say it any better. doing it over the phone. They will have to cancel your hole order and start a new one.. more waiting time for you.

As one with a verizon manager as family, I can tell you that the upgrade is tied to the ESN of that specific device. Swapping before activating can very well set off a red flag that may cause issues.
My recommendation is to take the device (sealed in the original box) to your local store, tell them what you want, see if they'll work with you to swap it. Odds are, they will open the box, activate the SIM that's coming with the device, then open the black one and use that SIM in the black phone. There is a chance that they won't allow the swap, but I find it unlikely.

i believe youll be fine if you take it back to a store. just dont open it.
My recommendation would be unless you absolutely need black don't do it. Given that you got unlimited data due to a glitch, any change could result in the system glitch reverting itself with no potential fix. Even if the glitch somehow stuck, you are looking at at least a 35$ restock fee. Personally I would say get the note 3 black otterbox and call it a day.
^ Yeah, I'm leaning towards just keeping the white. I don't want to screw up my unlimited and I'm scared to even chance it.
Go on craigslist and post request for a swap; if you do it at a VZW store they'll even register the new phone under your plan's insurance. Had to do this with an iPhone 5 a while back.
I say find someone who will trade with you, also.

I'm in the exact same boat as the OP. I really didn't want the white, but the only way I could get black during the glitch was if I bought the bundle with the gear. I was considering swapping the white N3 for a black one or maybe returning it for a G2, but after reading these posts, it looks like I may be stuck with the white N3.
