Verizon Activation Setup Galaxy s3 I recently bought a new contract-free Verizon CDMA Samsung Galaxy S3 for testing purpose and I couldn't pass the activation setup wizard. When I reached the customer service they said I have to activate it to use it which is lame. I buy a 300$ phone and they force me to activate it with a plan to use it. How can I skip this? 

I tried how-do-i-bypass-the-verizon-activation-on-a-samsung-fascinate but it didnt work.
I activated that phone with a prepaid plan and didn't pay anything and successfully able to use it in wifi.
